{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}So does the Emperor apply his own lipstick or does he have a guy for that?
Also Bail, you f***ing moron. Sure, personally invite and transport the most wanted man in the galaxy to a heavily populated planet in the core to see a member of the imperial senate and his family. I'm sure there's zero chance nobody will notice and get everyone involved killed. I'm glad you and your planet blew up you dumb f***.

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}The certain point of view was right. Vader tells Obi-Wan enough, etc. etc.
They also wanted to kind of explain away the whole "Why does he call him Darth in ANH when that's just a title?" it seems...

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}The split helmet, with Anakin and Vader voice alternating. Fantastic. Showing that there is still a small part of Anakin inside, fighting against Vader.
And explains why Palpatine doesn't want Vader to go after Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan's a connection to the past for him, Palpatine is afraid that Obi-Wan can pull Anakin back to the Light Side, destroying Vader and ending Palpatine. Palpatine can't have that.
We finally got Qui-Gon, and Obi-Wan said the line. What's interesting to me is... {Spoiler}Vader saying he was not Obi-Wan's failure. Besides making the "certain point of view" not a total lie, as I said before, it's interesting how THAT, Vader becoming what he did, is not what he chooses to hold over Obi-Wan. That would be bad enough, but...what he DOES call his failure, not protecting Luke and Leia from him, might be as bad.

I teared up at the finale. One of the best additions to the Star Wars franchise in a long time. I just wish my Dad was still around to see it. He would've loved the final duel so much.

{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Noticed that Leia kept LOLA in the holster.
Wander what happened to LOLA? Probably ended up in the same place I keep my old iPods and obsolete tech items.. back of a desk draw.

I'm guessing L0-LA59 went kablooey with the rest of Alderaan.
As for the finale, I loved it. I actually liked the entire series, but the finale was easily the best episode imo.

Incredible episode.
This really feels oike a drawn out film and it probably was. But the duel, Reva and the homestead, everything, was so good. And he's SMILING under the helmet... makes me shudder.

I know Reva rubbed some people the wrong way for both valid and invalid reasons. But I really liked the way her arc went.

I thought it was alright. I think Mando season 1 edges it out for me as far as these Disney series’ go. Ewan carried the f*** out of it. I have no problem seeing future stuff if he’s still delivering. The “cheapness” in these series is obvious and Disney should give ‘em some more money to play with if it’s the future. And if the movies keep doing gangbusters. Directing was bout as perfect as it could be. She directed my favorite episode of Mandalorian too. She’s so good at timing and coursing the flow. I love there were moments that were allowed to breathe and I’m going to assume it was Deborah Chow’s doing. Leia was a real highlight. Some of the tie-ins to explain stuff or tie stuff to the ot..piss me off. Honestly all of it does. Just do the show. The fans know. Make those allusions subtle so they’re not so blatant. Bleh. {Spoiler}the Vader saying he killed Anakin didn’t bother me. That was visually incredible and is in line with what Vader would say. In fact I’m pretty sure he’s said that before in a comic or novel or something. Reva wasn’t bad but I think the portrayal was a bit all over the place. Not necessarily the acting wise but writing, etc. i liked her fine. Thought she could have showed a little more strength at the end. Ice cubes kid is always cool. I think Hayden could have been used better. I always thought they’d go with them being virtually locked together in some force/darkside prism thing. Could have given Hayden more face screen time . But yeah, it was good. Second season worries the hell out of me. And yoooooo {Spoiler}please tell me obi wan holds force ghost qui gon accountable. “You bugger. You know what you did? Ohhh train the boy, yes, yes. All that balance f***ed the universe. I was right.”

According to the reported budgets, it actually had more per episode than Mando did ($15 million per ep vs. $10 million per ep). Ewan's salary probably ate up a good chunk of the difference, but I doubt it was $30 million more.

Only real things that felt "off" in terms of visuals are how the Grand Inquisitor and Fifth Brother looked compared to their appearances in other media. The Grand Inquisitor in particular looked like a bald human with funky makeup than a Pau'an.

Either that or we never see her again, because after dealing with pre-pubescent Leia and the mischiefs she was the center of, she probably effin' deactivated herself. LEIA ORGANA IS TRASH!!!

Does Obi Wan get laid in this? I always hated the prequels implied celibacy of the Jedi. Obi Wan deserves better.
