      Hollywood needs to listen to these guys. This is your audience and they understand filmmaking and storytelling. One says "I'm trying to pull something out of nothing." and the other says "The hype level went down." Andor was a master class in cinematography and storytelling and that should be the standard for all Star Wars shows. Now, Andor is not the type of Star Wars show I'm looking for. I want to see more Sith vs Jedi and stories closer to Knight of the Old Republic cinematics but Andor should be the starting point. No show produced that's less than the quality of Andor. Disney, These guys know quality and they were still respectful with their review.

There is good and evil and Disney is trying to blur the lines. That messaging bleeds out in the real word and you can see the results in New York, Cali and Chicago. American apathy. But back to the point, Star Wars as a property needs to be handled with respect for the lore. Story has to come first and then you can include whoever you want. George did this with his movies.

      Agreed. It's all about what actually happened which nobody seems to know. Two Jedi feel guilty and two Jedi don't. One sister blames the Jedi and the other sister blames the first sister. And, both sisters believed the other sister was dead. At this point, I don't think any of the show's characters know what actually happened. Maybe a Sith was secretly pulling the strings causing all this confusion?

    There are definitely writing weaknesses, but some of the problems people have with the show stem from misinterpretation of certain scenes. You might have found it less nonsensical if you saw these things as intended:
    1. Osha through the Force, dreamed about Mae. She felt then confirmed Mae was alive, but Mae has no idea Osha was alive until the Jedi claim she was (it is understandable that you thought it was a psychic two way conversation though).
    2. The Sith sword ignition was for the audience to know that was a Sith instead of taking it for granted a dark figure would be immediately thought to be one (also, his apprentice is to covet the power, signified by the saber, until she earns it through her trials - killing at least one Jedi weaponless)
    3. We are not meant to have a reason for the Sith to want to kill Jedi because the idea is that Sith desire the downfall of the Jedi. Period. They are their ancient enemy, even though the Jedi at this point are unaware some exist in this time.
    4. Yes Osha missed the fitst shot intentionally, but firing the second shot was to sell that she was trying to hit her to her associates who were arriving.
    5. With the understanding Mae is only now confirming Osha's survival at the escape scene, this is not enough to curb her desire for revenge on the 4 Jedi she believes wronged her. If we assume her reason for the hatred is the death of her family, then that's only her sister surviving. She still lost her parents and her village, plus was molded by the Sith master to direct her hate towards the 4 Jedi she blames for whatever incident back then, instead of accepting blame for the fire.
    6. We are yet to find out what the 4 Jedi are being blamed for. We assume it is the burning of the village, but there may be more to it, and clearly the Jedi master isn't even aware of what exactly went down. Only Indara and the 10 year meditating Jedi may have known and been complicit; plus possibly the Wookie.

      @bajansamurai 25 днів тому

      @@stevena.7022 Completely fair assessment. That's why my intent isn't to call this a "good" show necessarily, but to question feelings that follow missing the point of an earlier scene. The things I listed are only because they brought them up, and others in the chat did, but I understood those things on my one viewing - I also understand how someone could miss what I picked up, so no shade meant in the least.
      That said, as someone who is very clear on what the real science behind many things are, I immediately also knew there's no way just strapping into a chair will help someone survive planet fall, but I ignore it because I saw it coming and see A TON of shows have people walk away from certain death and have less complaints because they're overall more entertaining and have less "How the...?" moments. If we need to, we could even say "Still functional inertial dampening fields help soften terminal velocity crashes in much the same way they allow someone to survive acceleration into hyperspace or even just a fraction the speed of light." A lot more than we think we see and accept is actually completely impossible and most people are just so unaware of the physics that they don't have a problem with it yet (go watch The Expanse if you want a more realistic depiction of close to light speed acceleration effects on a human body, even in space).

      @@bajansamurai It's always the failed opportunity that hits hardest. My suggestion for the same scene: She's strapped in to her chair when she glances at a mech-nic crate.... A suit some mag-boots! Ship's breaking up... her on the ''wing'' surfing re-entry like Dark Star... Some free fall and a cool parachute... Big shot of flaming inferno as she floats into a desolate planet.
      Yes still ridiculous, But It connects her skillset to survival. It's epic, and It's narrowly plausible.

    • @bajansamurai
      @bajansamurai 25 днів тому +1

      @@stevena.7022 Not a bad idea at all (especially when it comes to cool factor) but if you actually fully understand terminal velocity and how that limits non-propelled acceleration in an atmosphere; pressure and heat effects from the compression wave ahead of the ship at reentry; crumple zones, lack of aerodynamics, and the sliding angle of impact, her chances of surviving a crash from space like that aren't actually too dissimilar from crashing from much lower in an airplane - it would have been very different with a straight downward or head on collision crash to a sudden stop. The crash actually isn't the most egregious thing at all.
      The most realistic choice for that scene would have involved her ejecting pre-crash and parachuting or using the equivalent of a jet pack to land (or the Force), and the outcome they needed of her being stranded on that planet to be picked up later would have been intact - but my point remains, we balk at how impossible surviving that crash "should" be because we think we are more aware of just how much force crashing at that speed involves, but we don't balk at how you'd probably liquify your organs to accelerate to even 1/10th light speed without a completely fictional inertial dampening technology existing in sci-fi (think whiplash at the micro and macro level).
      Surfing outside the ship would have likely cooked her, crashing at an angle in a crumpling ship is improbable but not actually impossible (like non-atmospheric sound is), much less so too if an [admittedly unreferenced] inertial dampening system isn't helping things inside reduce the effects of rapid acceleration and deceleration.
      So I forego the complaints about sci-fi impossibilities, and focus on what narratively was intended and what people may have missed; and some people misread the Force dream as an actual conversation between the kids which then confused them as to why Mae was surprised to actually see Osha.

    I think the Jedi, particularly Sol, wanted to avoid Mae and Osha coming into contact. He even jumped at the chance to lead the investigation. “Please let me take accountability” yo he really just wants to make sure the Jedi council doesn’t find out the truth 😱 *possibly*
    Mae might very well be the only other person that may know what the Jedi are lying about.
    A big thing about the Jedi in this show is that they are very manipulative. With people. With the truth. I fully expect Osha to lose faith in the Jedi and join her sister. At least that’s what I hope for. Having the series end with both protagonists being sith would be different and cool.

    I agree with some of your comments on how the acting is a bit all over the place (that overweight Jedi felt well out of place), but Sol is still an interesting character I want more focus on. But yeah, bland was probably the way I feel about most of it for now. The action sequences have been really good and quite new for Star Wars. But aside from that it's got a long way to go before it catches up to the likes of Andor.

    Brothers, I don't know what you're having a problem with... I think this storyline is fantastic. It has nothing to do with the Empire, Luke, Leia, or Vader. We're getting introduced to things we only have a passing understanding of right now in a new context. And "what happened" is the mystery of the series right now. We aren't supposed to immediately know.
    Still appreciate you all... you're almost always for a good reaction, but I think you're way off here. IMO though.

      @@thomasalexander9978 Fantastic. You said absolutely nothing that is substantive while trying to be smug about a mediocre show. So, according to you, the word 'derivative' should now be retired. Never mind if it even applies conclusively in this context, because you have deemed it unworthy of use. Stop being a child.
      Why is being innovative within the context of the show a bad thing? They're angling for this very thing, in this very show with the twins, the Wookie with Force powers and so on but it's executed with the most lazy and DERIVATIVE way. Innovation can be utilized in a pre-existing universe. It can open doors to new ideas. The prequels were set in a pre-existing universe and they introduced new ideas, concepts and styles. You're the one simping for a mediocre DERIVATIVE show that barely reaches the low bar it has set itself. It's derided by most people which should give some pause and ask some questions if you're even watching this objectively.
