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. I KNOW RIGHT! The music just feels off in a really disassociated way

I KNOW RIGHT! The music just feels off in a really disassociated way It's disappointing because Natalie Holt's work on Loki was top notch. From what I've read it's a stylistic choice to reflect Obi-Wan's broken spirit and Vader not being at the height of his powers. Presumably it's building towards something closer to what we were expecting as Obi-Wan finally gets his groove back, but who knows for sure?

Just caught up with the most recent episode. Even by my lax standards there's a lot of stuff that just strikes me as dumb. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}The entire Obi-Wan and Vader confrontation in episode 3 that, cool as it was, completely contradicts their confrontation in A New Hope. Leia being very formal/unfamiliar with Obi-Wan in A New Hope despite, you know, going on this crazy adventure with him when she was a kid. Tala managing to bluff her way into the fortress with an incredibly unconvincing performance. Tala having a whispered conversation with Obi-Wan 5 feet away from an Imperial officer. Obi-Wan smuggling Leia out of the base in a trench coat like a ****ing cartoon character.
Still, the show is pretty enjoyable even with all that. I'm always gonna give Star Wars some slack when it comes to plot consistency and whatnot because even the original movies have issues with that.

Where is he?" in A New Hope. It's pretty clear she remembers the name and is anxious to get to him, even if it's a late retcon.

It's admittedly been quite some time since I've seen ANH, I was mainly thinking of her message to him and the whole "you served with my father in the Clone Wars" line. Feels a bit too formal given what we now know they went through together.

Feels a bit too formal given what we now know they went through together. You can probably rationalise the formality as she was bringing a direct request from her father, rather than herself. He's the one asking Kenobi to go to Alderaan, she's just the messenger. Of course, she signs off with "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope", which is an appeal from her to him, and can be read as them having a personal connection also.

Alright, complaint withdrawn, lol

The last episode felt like a giant tribute to Jedi Fallen Order. I loved it.

Vader is the highlight so far. Hayden especially has brought that instability that's made him the most terrifying I've seen him on screen. Seeing him storm in there like that was horrifying.
They've done a fantastic job of playing to Hayden Christenson's biggest strength as an actor: his physical presence.

They've done a fantastic job of playing to Hayden Christenson's biggest strength as an actor: his physical presence. Couldn't agree more, always felt Hayden did a phenomenal job conveying Anakin's torture. I'm glad the prequels have been reappraised in the last few years as I feel Christensen took a lot of the heat for Lucas' clunky-arse dialogue — the dude plays conflicted like no one else, as anyone who's seen Shattered Glass can attest. It's been a treat to see him do Vader's angry adolescent phase.

Finally watched episode 4 and thought it was much better. The scenes with Leia and Reva were great, Ben in the dark with the stormtroopers was great. Somethings still... off. Like the jusic was better, but something about how it's shot or the production value still feels more made for TV than a big budget production.

I think a big part of that is there isn't a great deal of location-hopping. Each episode pretty much stays in one location, so it all feels very isolated, whereas Mando and – to a lesser extent – Boba Fett jumped around a lot within their episodes, even the ones that stayed on one planet.

No spoilers, but there’s one bit of dialogue in ep 5 that, in light of recent events, maybe could have been cut. I really had a hard time enjoying the rest of the episode after hearing it.

Haven't gotten to it (truth is, I need to watch 3-now). Is this... {Spoiler}Another reference, indirect or otherwise, to shootings/child deaths?
Cause reliving Order 66, THE WEEK of Uvalde, was pretty harsh.
