Terry94 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I'm sure I'm not the only member on here that's a fan of Star Wars. I thought we could use this thread to discuss everything Star Wars. Is anyone currently watching the latest spin of called "Obi Wan Kenobi" it's really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) I like the movies, episodes 1-6. After Lucas sold it to Disney, the entire franchise was destroyed to nothing but a money grab. Hell I refuse to watch Return Of The Jedi on anything but VHS, since they replaced Darth Vader with hayden fucking christianson at the end on the DVD's. And I left his name uncapitalized intentionally. I absolutely hate him and his pathetic attempts at acting. Aside from him, episodes 2 and 3 were good. They would have been better if they replaced him with a rabid monkey. Hopefully the remake 2 and 3, with someone WHO CAN ACTUALLY ACT.

killamch89 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I'm not going to say I am the biggest fan of the series but I've watched most of the movies and I have to agree with @The Blackangel, Ever since Disney took over Star Wars, almost everything Star Wars related has been absolute crap and don't even let me get into details about the games.

I think Obi Wan Kenobi is the first Star Wars thing I've really enjoyed since Rogue One. What was your favorite part of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harleyqbx Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Disney Plus. I have a bad habit of being on my phone while watching stuff at home. This was interesting enough that I wasn't on my phone at all for most of the series. There were a couple of unearned moments, and that's my biggest complaint. I don't usually like stories that revisit characters earlier in their life because you already know what happens to them, and that can and often does stop you from becoming as emotionally invested. But they managed to keep Obi Wan compelling throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had Disney Plus since last month but I rarely watch it. Netflix is what I still watch primarily and I'm trying to find a series that'll interest me.

harleyqbx Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 It's only 6 episodes. It takes place after about a decade after Revenge of the Sith. Obi Wan is in hiding and basically hamstrung by his own self-doubt and inner turmoil. I think if it was a full-on origin story, such as with Solo, I probably would have tapped out. Have you watched any of the other SW stuff on Disney Plus? Did you like any of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
