I'm still confused as to what exactly Moses Ingram did that upset these people so much? I mean, I hate the way Kelly Marie Tran was treated, but at least I can understand the criticism of her character (she was kind of a bland character to take up so much screen time) beyond racists reason. What did Moses do? She's just playing a villain as written and doing it well. Usually these a-holes have some (flimsy) justification for these attacks beyond "I'm tired of these <<insert racial or sexual slur>> in my geek stories!". TBF, everyone in the Disney Trilogy was pretty mediocre. Again if I understand it correctly, they don't like that the show isn't just all Obi-Wan and Vader all the time. Maybe or not complaining about her acting. So they're taking it out on her and again thinking they're hitting her where it hurts by going to the lowest hanging fruit. Correct me if I'm wrong. If it's just typical woke = broke stuff, I stand corrected. 1999 called, it said we don't have to personally dislike people for not acting out a fictional universe the way the fanboiz want. I for one hope I am over that by now...yes I used be one who would consider Joel Schumacher, Michael Bay, Hayden Christensen, et al to be the anti-Christs just cause they "ruined" my favorite franchises. I can still cringe at their on-screen product, but realize they didn't do it cause they're terrible people. Now Zack Snyder, on the other hand....

The "justifications" tend to fall into two categories: "She's a terrible actor." "She's only in this because of forced diversity." Don't forget the terrible crime of not being a Star Wars fan.

Well sometimes that is justified to worry about...see: Snyder, Zack. See also: name your WWE writing committee member.

{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}I have to say James Earl Jones sounds so much better in this than he did in Rogue One.

This just isn't hitting for me. Like rhe pacing feels off, everything forced. McGregor's voice choices, to the story. It feels super forced and I'm actually annoyed. It could be something as simple as the music not being right, but a moment THAT BIG in terms of confrontation just lacked emotion.

Freck was voiced by {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Zach Braff and that's pretty funny to me for some reason.

She's not writing the script though. You think Robert Downey Jr read an Iron Man comic before taking the role? Hell, Alec Guinness thought the script for A New Hope was a load of nonsense.

He hated the fans after Star Wars got huge.

{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Ok so Obi Wan walking through the hanger with Leia under his coat was some Looney Tunes ridiculousness.
Enjoyed the episode though.

{Spoiler}Obi-Wan fired up his saber killing stormtroppers and deflecting blaster bolts. He used the Force more in this episode, including holding back water. He's getting his groove back.
The Inquisitors are gonna realize quickly just how outmatched they are against Obi-Wan. By this point he's defeated Maul multiple times, he was a legendary general in the Clone Wars, he killed Grevious, survived Order 66 and defeated Anakin. They're in for a rude awakening.

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Nothing says Star Wars like a hero infiltrating an Imperial prison to rescue Princess Leia. I can't have been the only one disappointed that Obi-Wan didn't wear the armour of the first Stormtrooper he killed, right? I just wanted to see Leia rescued again (well, for the first time) by someone in disguise as a Stormtrooper.
Good to see Obi-Wan getting his skills and confidence back. The next fight with Vader is going to be much more epic and evenly balanced.

This was the first time I ever felt like Anakin Skywalker was speaking Darth Vader’s words.
“YOU WERE WARNED…” had me thinking Hayden did the lines and the production folks put the James Earl Jones AI voice over them.

So far I'm not a big fan of the show. Feels like the story is just an excuse to go between action set pieces and I'm really having trouble engaging with the characters, mostly because what happens is a foregone conclusion.

The music is really bothering me. It's like Star Wars but not quite. They advertise it using Duel of the Fates and stuff, but in the show it's all this bland Dollar Store Star Wars-ish shit.
