I hope everyone is well on the planet of crazy. Thanks for all the comments and views. I really appreciate it. But this show! It’s hard to imagine a plot more stupid then the one we are getting in the Obi-Wan Kenobi show. And the more you watch it the worse it gets. But do you agree? And of course, if you enjoyed the video (how could you not) hit the “Like”. Subscribing and sharing the video is always a big help. And of course the bell. Cheers Everyone!
You know my favorite video of yours, the last Jedi bombers video, I just want to say, the bomber would be good as a gunboat in a fleet, just replace the bombs with anti fighter concussion missles and it would be perfect anti fighter ship in any fleet ( just have it stick with the slower capital ships and carriers
For your question about how does Reva know Obi WAN’s relationship with Bale Organa, I found the answer. In a deleted scene from the show, we see Reva’s room in the Inquisitorium. In it, we can see a blue-ray copy of Revenge of the Sith on a shelf. Glad I could help
And am I the only one who noticed Jimmy Smits wasn't actually playing the role of Bail Organa? Watch him in Revenge of the Sith and then here, it's not the same character lol. His accent is different, his facial expressions and mannerisms are different, it was so wierd
"scared of reva" has gotta be the funniest thing. kylo and reva are literally personifications of how to make poor villains without any teeth. apparently, kids throwing tantrums is supposed to be scary.
Kylo was at least saved by Adam Driver's acting, but Moses Ingram is nowhere near him. When his acting actually looks like a traumatized psycho, her acting looks like a bully kid running around acting like she's the boss
So, they wrote a story about a character called Reva, who is a murderous physchopath that gets redemption because she's misunderstood, and called the show obiwan to sell it.
I mean, hardly anyone except SW diehards would watch a show called Star Wars: Reva, so they went with a recognizable brand instead. Like all soul-less corporations do.
Apparently the original script was pretty good. Reva was a side character meant to haunt Obi wan because of his past failure to stop the emperors plans who would redeem herself but still die. The focus was on Obi Wan. But I assume that someone higher up (KK) wanted this female BIPOC to have a bigger role and even a spin off. So she couldn’t die and had to be more likable. But of course they left her as the villain so they were screwed.
It keeps getting worse and worse the more I think about it. Virtually every single aspect of this series was a failure. It is not the actors fault they were given garbage to work with. This failure sits squarely with the writers and production company.
The only good part was Obi Wan and Vader's duel. It feels like they had one solid idea, then put up a bunch of window dressing around it to make a series.
I admire your positivity, because I lost respect for actors decades ago. The show is irrefutably garbage. The actors read the used toilet paper that was the script, signed the deal, and then that cowardly scumbag Ewam McGarbage actively participated on twitter calling the fans of his own show toxic, bigoted, and all this other anti LGBT+-APX buzzwords. I get where you are coming from, but imagine someone came to you and said they’ll give you a million to play Captain Hodor from The Last Jedi. Would you do it? Very likely, but you would understand everyone HATES that character and you would know you chose the money over principle. That said. I agree with you except the actors helped make this garbage. If Ewam said no, we wouldn’t have yet another dog shit SW plot. At this point, Star Wars has 2.5 good movies (sorry, I always hated the Ewoks), 8 extra garbage movies, and 3 garbage shows. We have a 2.5/16 ratio of good to terrible. So about 84% of Star Wars has been bad. I didn’t even count the video games like the pay-to-play scams from EA’s Battlefront. Star Wars is long dead, but at least the hate is keeping us together around the campfire in union. Pass the blue alien tiddy milk please 🥛 😃
I have been wondering lately if Neil Breen's secret plot to take over all the screenwriting in Hollywood himself has secretly been completed. I picture him shirtless and locked in a tiny room in LA writing all this garbage.
How to spot a narcissist writer: Character destroys things I don't care about, but character spares something I do care about = redeemed character. The true redemption arc would be a willing submission to justice, some expression of remorse, and then change demonstrated over time. The power of her arc would have been expecting justice but receiving mercy, then living differently. Narcissists can't ever admit fault, though, so we have the "I can't hurt someone who I empathize with, so I'm a good person" plot instead.
You just called George Lucas a narcissist writer. Anakin Skywalker or Darth Vader murdered many people we didn't care about but spared one that we did care about and is considered redeemed. Vader never submitted to justice (don't say his death counts, he was granted immortality), expressed remorse past apologizing nearly killing his son despite murdering thousands in the past 25 years, or demonstrated change over time. He simply decided to save his son said sorry bruh and died yet that is seen as the greatest redemption arc of all time. and it is. you don't understand the intricacies of it however you just remember liking it as a kid. I'm not saying Obi-wan is perfect, but you seem to not be able to look past a minor flaw unless you had a pre-determined outlook on the person or plot.
@@Ambusher1st he also is an idiot that actually thinks that Star Wars has been bad since 1997, and thinks that the sequels are better than the prequels. His crap needs to be exposed and destroyed.
All of the details mentioned are absolutely spot on. However, the single most stupid thing is Obi Wan completely abandoning Luke. His mission, his purpose was to protect a boy who's power could be used by the Sith. So Obi Wan decides to bury his lightsabre & forgets how to use the force & works long hours miles away from Luke. I just don't get it.
I think the goal was to deconstruct Obi Wan from the get go and use this as a vehicle to highlight their "preferred" characters - partly for money prospects from merchandising and spin-offs and the other from a warped ideology that corrupts everything they touch.
It's sad how people keep defending this kind of quality like it was their own newborn child. They don't see how they're just gradually making movies and series worse by accepting shoddy work
When you live in the echo chamber that is currently in Hollywood, this is Oscar worthy material and anyone that doesn't get that is waaaayyyccisst or backwards
@@reek4062 reek...you have been tortured into believing that...be stronger...fight for better....and stop being a slave to stupidity. But if you truly believe what you have written...you are just wrong and weak and have no depth to your smooth brain.
Star Wars has been dead to me since The Last Jedi, so my only interest is in reviews like this dissecting the dumbassery of it all. Love ya, Robot Head. 👍
I said the same thing about the Rey trilogy... guess Disney refused to learn their lesson. They're too big to fail financially. They know they don't have to try, so I suppose why would they?
Well I mean, Vader was never supposed to be there anyways. Shitass nobody Reva that shouldn't even exist because the whole point of Order 66 was to erase ALL Jedi with only Obi-Wan and Yoda escaping so that Vader and Palpatine could solidify their power without any actual opposition, but is his helmet supposed to be squeezing his brain? Cuz there's no fucking way she finds out about Luke and he doesn't! I mean, that literally should have been his only thought "Now, why the fuck is my old master on MY old home planet?!" Like, did he really never think "Okay, Padme's dead, maybe what I was feeling wasn't her BEING alive but her GIVING life?"?! No.. Just no. And of course instead of making any of the other characters cool or interesting or likeable at all, they have all of these PoC and all differently oriented peoples just to mark a check on the makeup pallet they use on their asses.
I cannot get past the fact that Vadar can force stop an entire starship, but couldn't force-grab Obiwan out of the fire to prevent a slow moving Droid to pick him up and just walk away... Is this writer fucking demented?
Among everything mentioned here, a problem I had was there were ZERO stakes in this entire show. Any characters I cared about already had their stories continued or ended in the original trilogy. I couldn’t have cared less about Reva or any new character introduced in this show as the only way they could or would be important is by any spin off shows. I can’t even remember most of the characters names. The whole plot of this show was so poorly made. I would have taken an Obi-Wan trauma series were he’s struggling to cope with his past as he completes the training Yoda gave him at the end of Ep. 3. We could have seen Duchess Satine, younger Ashoka, younger Anakin, and clone wars stuff in flash backs. Which imo would have been amazing. Obi-Wan is so much more of a character than just teaching Anakin and Luke. And the Clone Wars did such a good job of showing that. Kenobi did not. His character was so one note and boring the entire time. I took more enjoyment in counting the amount of times he could have said ‘Hello there’ or some memey shit.
Yeah, I felt the same way that you did. The saddest part about Obi-Wan Kenobi is that even if its writing was any better and it did not make Kenobi a useless lump who had to be directed by a child Princess Leia, there would still be nothing at stake for any of the characters we already know from the prequel trilogy or the original trilogy. That sadly may have been why the Obi-Wan Kenobi writers or directors did not try; they never denied that making an interquel series about Obi-Wan Kenobi and the planet of Tatooine being chased and pursued by a new character who was a youngling Anakin failed to kill in the past, was a meaningless pursuit where putting any effort into the writing, directing, cinematography or even the budget would be totally pointless no matter what. Putting real thought or effort into this pointless production to make Obi-Wan Kenobi as useful as he used to be would have at least won this mini-series the nostalgia points it was aiming to get from people who wanted to see a new story about Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader one last time. Your idea of having an intentionally lower-stakes storyline in between the two trilogies where Obi-Wan completes his training with Yoda, and struggles to cope with his past with flashbacks of the Clone Wars sounds way better in my opinion.

Thanks for the "Leia is the daughter of a freaking imperial senator and the Empire should actually help get her back home" part, i felt like this point had not been emphasized enough !
Well, for all he knows, they could be in on it. Hunted by elite force from the empire, but the normal troops are decent? Really? Think for a second, ofc he wouldn't hand her over.
Your Star Wars content always hits the nail on the head about Disney and never ceases to make me laugh. Good job man. It’s a shame of what Disney has done….. if only they let hardcore fans who knew what was best take control.
I wouldn't even say hardcore fans are the best choice, they are often to tunneled on things from the past. It just takes decent writers that don't butcher source material but still may bring in a bit of fresh air packaded as a coherent story.
@@jellygoo Just a competent writer would be great. A competent writer who is just a casual fan but understands they have to research what parts of the mythos they are lacking, would have worked. But no, I guess the writer whose previously movies flopped and/or got about 20% rotten (and whose next project is a Transformers movie) is good enough.
Disney has done a great job for once. We all keep watching Star Wars, so Disney is clearly doing something right. The hardcore fans don't know what's best for Star Wars; they'll just write their own terrible fanfics.
@@jellygoo that makes no sense 💀 things from the “past” any hardcore fan that has done research of Star Wars an knows the content could fix the sequels an write a good story that actually makes sense
"It would draw attention...but mysteriously no attention once she becomes a Senator herself." This entire plot doesn't make sense at all because Leia should always have been fully shielded from her own abilities, heritage. Meeting Obi Wan and the Inquisitors and being involved in this story just throws all of that off.
"But she zayz hiz nammmeeeeeee, they must have met be4" basic consumer says not realizing the plethora of more sensical options to why she knows his name, aka BAIL FUCKING TOLD HER WHEN THEY FUNDED THE REBELLION
Isn't it amazing the original trilogy set up so much lore and didn't even cash in on it immediately or even go into detail, other projects could pick it up later and explain it, make a new part of the story.
So what youre saying is you didnt think the already established character who was first shown in a series based after this series was gonna die? Lol for real though my buddy is a little cuck over the disney stuff and even he was like "yeah that was pretty dumb if you seen just one episode of rebels."
-Fans want to see Hayden Christensen as Vader! And Obi-Wan vs Vader duel! And Qui-Gon Jinn's ghost! And connection between Revenge of the Sith and New Hope. -Okay, let's do this. But what about the plot for whole series? -Don't care, Leia kindapped or something, lol.
Hilarious isn't it. Had Obiwan decided not to help Bail, the Grand Inquisitor would've returned Leia and Reva would be locked up for disrupting the peace
I don't get how Disney has managed to screw up every Star Wars work they've done. Why would any person with some brain cells research the writers before hiring them, right
@@xvor_tex8577 Mandalorian has the flaw that it eventually leads back to the sequel trilogy, and it does kind of meander a bit. Not horrible, but it’s not exactly impressive, either. Rogue One I agree was good, but ironically I feel like it would have been better served by a mini-series so the deaths of the main cast have a stronger impact.
Its because creatives no longer inhabit Hollywood, just activists and shill hack millionaires. The sooner people stop giving their monthly gibs to Disney+, Netflix, Peacock, etc, and start giving money to fragmented niche and independent creators on Patreon, UA-cam, elsewhere, the sooner people will see the return of actual story telling, script writing, and good media.
@@xvor_tex8577 I might be in the minority on this but rogue one sucked imo, and mando season 1 was good but season 2 was pretty meh, side quest after side quest until Luke shows up at the end to save the show
The thing about Leia is, they clearly didn't hide the fact that she was adopted (which makes sense since the mother was never pregnant), but instead relied on the fact that no-one would ever know who her real parents are. Since Vader assumes they all died with Padme, and no-one else knew that Anakin was the Dad, there's literally NO reason for anyone in the galaxy to ever connect the dots.
The Book of Boba Fett was bad but Obi-Wan Kenobi was even worse. Think about it; Boba Fett was a somewhat one-dimensional (unless you count EU/Legends) character while Obi-wan was someone we saw grow across several films and a 7 season cartoon series. If I were to compare the damage that was done to the characters by Disney's mishandling to bicycle accidents I'd say TBoBF is the equivalent of falling off your bike and skinning your elbows/knees while Obi-Wan Kenobi is getting rammed by a Semi-truck.
In keeping with that analogy, Boba Fett was a rinky-dink bike that fell off a cliff and rolled to the bottom covered with rocks and dents. Obi-Wan was the souped up hot-rod of a car that slammed into a semi truck. And maybe you can repair the hood, fix the broken glass, make it look nice - but the engine got a crack, and it’s slowly leaking life away.
@@vullord666 If Lord Doomcock's rumors are to be believed, the Ahsoka series will turn the sequel era into a alternate timeline. I really hope it's true.
At the end of the day, I feel like Reva was completely unnecessary to the story. You could have cut her out entirely and had Vader been the one doing everything she was doing. The focus should have been on those two the entire time and If this was just a movie and we had way more Ewan and Hayden I think the praise would be unreal, Ewan and Hayden did amazing and I'm just grateful that they returned and for their performances.
Wait - You mean to suggest that a character that has never appeared or been referenced in any other film, and whose only behavior is a series of contrived missteps to further the weak plot of this mini-series, is completely unnecessary to the story other than to help pad out the villain diversity roster? No way.
@@Anax100 When you see John Boyega's role in the sequels, it's easy to understand who's actually a racist. They put token black actors in their films and have them poorly written, dismissed or killed at the first occasion, and they still get to be called progressive because they hired black actors. Don't get me wrong, everyone is tragically underused, but still.
This was brilliant. Can’t wait to see your review on the finale….you know, where the main hero, err I mean antagonist, survives a lightsaber through the guts, crawls who knows how far to find a ship, flies to Tatooine, walk around the streets to look for Ben,fights off two civilians, runs after Luke, then carries him back!
Thank the force that some people can see this for what it is: garbage. I'm amazed at how many people not just defend this series, but actively stamp down genuine criticism as 'toxic fandom'.
That is a hell of a point. Imagine being able to reach a level of incompetence like Kathleen Kennedy where almost everything you touch is hated, and destroys a franchise and makes people hate the product - yet still have a job, so much so, that people actually defend you to still have that job. I wonder if such a thing would happen if they happened to be the "wrong gender"?
Princess Leia's ability to evade grown, healthy and capable men, all while running painfully slow, was like some running gag. Which would be fine if looking absolutely ridiculous was the original intent...
Yet think of all the people in all the meetings that scene had to go through from concept to shooting to get green lit in the final product! I blame the education system!
When Disney took over I was hopeful we would get some content that could almost rival the original trilogy. Now I think we’d be very lucky if we got anything half as good as attack of the clones
Leia running is the funniest thing I've seen on Disney+ All the adult actors moving at half speed to not catch a 10 year old girl. All they had to do was film it differently, or cut to a different scene. This show is so low effort it's unreal.
I live perpetually in the emotional sadness Padme had watching the fall of democracy...just with the writing of star wars. Fuck man I genuinely miss George and I'll take another Phantom pls at this point.
@@reek4062 then you may need to work on your analytic skills. It is a film that could be lauded as the greatest of all time compared to what episode 9 was.
@@reek4062 naw you just wrong bro phantom at least had some of the most legit iconic scenes and duels in Star Wars....im not sure i can even remember anything from Rise of Skywalker
It feels like with each dis+ series the folks at Lucasfilm try there best to optimize the production further and further. And by 'optimize' I mean they reduce the production time as quickly as possible so they can move onto the next dis+ show they need to rush out to meet quotas. There's no passion in the writing of these shows, the plot just feels like a basic outline with a few undeveloped ideas that was only put to screen out of obligation. If I didn't know any better I'd think the script was literally spewed out of an AI that they just fed a bunch of previous star wars material into. Its got all the basic Disney tropes like they just parameters, a lot of scenes feel like they were poorly ripped off from previous Star Wars material, and the writing has a comical lack of thought put into it that it. Yah either an AI or a person with all the imagination of a AI scribbled out this script in one draft and the team put it to screen with all the enthusiasm of an eighth grade book report, content in the knowledge that the actually quality of the material is comically irrelevant as long as Dis+ metrics are good and the normies on twitter clap... what a waste...
I know what you mean. The sad thing is that I think this story could have been really interesting. I have always wondered how Leia knew Obi and what kind of badass training he was getting up to on Tatooine but no. Instead we're given this. I would have loved to see a story where Leia first finds out about the rebels and decided to join like in her late teens or something. But no. *sigh* so much wasted potential
Here's the great part about Star Wars: Being able to watch it over and over again and still love it. The OT and prequels deliver on this front, even if the prequel dialogue is alittle hard to sit through. However Disney Star Wars is something that's 1 and done. You watch it, consume, then forget it. I haven't watched the sequels again since the theater, and neither will I be watching Kenobi or BoBF again.
This is something I have noticed too. Have watched the OT and prequels more times than I can count…the sequels though. Only saw TFA in the theatre and only watched the last two ‘fan fic’ disasters online out of some kind of perverse desire similar to watching videos of car crashes. Never watched them again. Occasionally scroll past them on Disney and even once started watching the last one once but only lasted 5 mins. Don’t plan to ever watch them again…
I've watched 1-6 alot throughout the years, episode 1 only a few times, but 2-6 alot. I watched the first 2 of the sequels once and never again. They were bad enough that I skipped 9. I only use some dumb scenes from 9 as jokes in my videos, but that's about it. Never seen it, and don't ever plan on it.
The writing of the Obi-Wan was so bad, it prompted me to put together this, “Ten Basic Requirements for a competent Story”(Obi-Wan series writers fail at all ten!) 1. Have a Story to tell. A beginning, middle & end. 2. Follow a story structure that works, such as "Once upon a time there was ___. Every day, ___. One day ___. Because of that, ___. Because of that, ___. Until finally ___." 3. Follow the Law of Noncontradiction. 4. Write interesting, memorable and relatable characters. 5. Keep character consistency. 6. Honor cause and effect. 7. Detail the rules of your universe and Obey the established rules of the universe the story takes place in. 8. Set up & then pay off. 9. Subversion, make the subversion as logical and rewarding, if not more, than what you are subverting from. 10. Write a good ending, ideally something you may not see coming, but ultimately feels inevitable.
I just discovered your channel last week. I love all your videos brother, you hit the nail on the head every single time. I was a kid when the OT was being released in the theaters. People our age lived through the formative years of Lucas’ SW. We’ve seen it at its best. Keep up the great work my friend 👍
Reva is just.....the worst. She is one of the horrendous actors I’ve ever seen. I know the acting has never really been a high point of Star Wars, but at least it was entertaining. Obi Wan was just bad on every level. Fight choreography, plot, directing, acting. It was such a mess.
It’s true, it’s almost like they’re trolling us, daring people to be critical of her performance so they can all call us racist. Acting aside too, she’s so short! That’s why Gal Gadot was cast as Wonder Woman because she’s like 5’11. A 5’5/5’6 woman who has to then stand next to the likes of Darth Vader is not going to come across intimidating, even if she’s the best actor in the world (which she clearly isn’t).
And the lines she's given are really bad. And whatever direction she was given was insane, too. I laugh every time I see her screaming "Tell me where the Jedi is!" because she awkwardly puts the emphasis on the word "is".
@@infinitelybanta That's exactly what it is, they did the same shite with TLJ where they used Kelly as a human shield against genuine criticism. It's hilarious how everytime they write a token character they're hilariously badly written, and gotta remove them from chinese posters to make that extra money right
Would that quote mean that obi wan was saying it's more skill than getting lucky or was he saying that Experiencing lucky or incredible coincidences are infact a result of trusting The Force Which leads to him being in the right places at the right times
Disney employees look so uncanny and android-like, I thought the screenwriter and actor in the first 15 seconds had deepfakes for a joke, but no, that's what they look like.
It's crazy how such a big company like Disney can have writers so bad at writing a Star Wars story/plotline. Literally almost any fanboy of Star Wars that you can pick off the streets could write a better story that the ones that Disney has writing. Just goes to show how incompetent the management is at Disney.
Kenobi came out and millions of minds and souls were snapped out of existence! These writers accomplished what no one has done before: they made Star Wars irrelevant!
My daughters who have loved Star wars since they were kids and I only showed them the original stuff and the expanded universe until lately. they also happen to be two young black ladies. The first thing they said when they looked at Rivas character is why did they make another stereotypical black woman? Can't Hollywood write a black woman to be anything but an angry sassy b****. As a man married to a black woman with two black daughters the last thing you want to do is accuse a black woman of being angry or sassy.
Its also funny how they never make a black character the protagonist, or even a support character. Best example would be how they completely fucked up fins character, even tho he carried the entire sequel trilogy, and they decide to not go anywhere with his arc. Its probably not that they are woke or racist, but the fact they dont give a shit and only want to make money ;-;
I felt the same way about Leia. Another stereotypical little girl who knows everything and bosses everyone around and no one ever knocks down a peg for being a spoiled little brat who constantly gets them into trouble
@@SlightlyInactive once u saw what they did with Finn about 20 minutes in the second so called sequel I was out. Not because he was black, but although he was clearly force sensitive, and both He and Rey could have been Force wielders, but no Rey no training knew how to call a light saber never before using force telekinesis, and Finn was a joke on a hospital bed floor.
I was surprised not to see other UA-camrs picking up on that Reva's "Obi-waan, come out to plaaaay" style "Warriors" reference. It was so out of place, a Friday 13th gimmick, with the "horror inducing" Reva hunting down helpless Obi that is hiding behind a cupboard. It was creepy, but not in the intended or a good way.
I began to regret letting my free Disney+ subscription lapse - which was obtained from purchasing a Verizon phone plan in 2019 - once I saw Obi-Wan was getting his own series. Thankfully, your video proved what I knew in my heart of hearts to be true; this would not be a Rogue One-level exception to the travesty that is Disney-owned Star Wars, but a further dumbing-down of the characters and stories we already know and love.
thanks for saving me frm this, I was heart broken after TLJ but now I will go to my grave laughing my head off at the staggering incompetance of turning a precious IP into something comedic, these people get paid to do this, my mind is blown.
I've seen so many Star Wars content creators praise this show for how it handles the Star Wars storyline. I just can't understand why these incredibly well versed fans of the franchise, who've read dozens of comics, books, watched all the TV shows, and all the movies, who've grown up in the era of George Lucas, still consider this garbage actually a good story. Because although there are SOME good scenes within this show in the later half of the season, the lazy writing, dumb choices that characters make, and plot holes the size of the death star, outweigh all of the somewhat good scenes combined. Just because a show has some good scenes, doesn't make it a good show.
Just watch the Red Letter Media episode on it - after getting mentally raped by how bad Picard was, they more or less were just relived to watch Obi Wan as "something stupid but better than Picard". It's the least common denominator coupled with Stockholm Syndrome, I've had friends who unironically say well Rise of Skywalker was alright but Last Jedi was terrible, but then think Obi Wan was "decent" as well as Boba Fett - the longer man lives breathing, eating, and sleeping in shit, he has no concept of how better and different things could be in the ocean or mountains.
@@kudjo24 Your comment is very correct when all we get is garbage the one time we get something not complete absolute garbage everyone thinks its the best.
@@kudjo24Red Letter Media has no business complaining about Disney Star Wars; they are the ones who paved the way through with all their garbage prequel "reviews" which paved the way for George Lucas to sell his company to Disney. As far as I'm concerned Disney Star Wars is their reward due to all those who gave George such garbage from 2009 to 2012 because of the propaganda in those garbage "reviews".
For a while now Disney has treated Star Wars fans like the family of a kidnapped child, putting out bad products and expecting praise or threatening to end any potential future for the things we used to love. I like Ewan as obi wan but I won’t just watch something because it has a character I like and doing so just incentivises this attitude from Disney that writing comes after spectacle
It really amazes me how they continue to screw up the most seemingly easy things, Book of Boba could’ve had us get more story development and screen time for Boba but instead we got Mandalorian season 3.5. And now with Kenobi they somehow messed up the most easy opportunity of fan service in a while with horrible writing
Honestly this is wat happens when you try to make star wars the MCU and make like 4 shows a year. Evevrythings gonna be mid as there's no time for improvement
you gotta applaud how huge they went on my boy Larry Kenobi. The guy was like the best strategian, always clever with his plans, they just managed to make Obi-Wan a bum in fear who had never experience in anything, basically the whole show Obi-Wan is just crying: OH NO LEAVE ME, DONT ASK ME ANYTHING, I M NOT THE SAME ANYMORE, 10 YEARS HAVE PASSED, I FORGOT EVERYTHING. NOW I AM A STUPID SAND BUM WHO ONLY KNOWS HOW TO WORK ON A MEAT FARM. Oh boy, you certainly couldn't hit me harder then that with what you've done to my favorite character. he cannot even catch a 10 year old, ooops, I forgot, nobody in this show outruns a 10 year old. Gotta love disney's strong female characters. And remember that scene where Kenobi and Leia have to invent a legend to tell the stormtroopers? Of course its Leia, because Obi-Wan didn't go through countless undercover missions during the clone wars and can barely say two words. FUCKING DISGUSTING.
@@afemboy1863 Unfortunately one halfway decent episode can’t make up for an entire season of utter stupidity. Every single episode was plagued with bad writing, bad setups and virtually 0 payoffs. The scene where the girl officer just slaps two stormtroopers and they drop dead is beyond one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen from a movie/show and I never thought I would say that about anything having to do with Star Wars.
@@afemboy1863 1 episode of obi wan randomly becoming an earthbender doesn't change what the entire show did. I'm not as disgusted as this guy because I really don't take Disney wars seriously. But the last episode doesn't change the rest of the show, it just made it a bit more ridiculous.
You've made my day once again! Your content is far more enjoyable than this show itself. I haven't liked a UA-cam channel so much ever since the glory days of AVGN. Keep on doing the great job, mate!
9:30 one thing the films have never been very clear on is that Jedi are heavily trained in a form of martial arts called Echani, but apart from that I agree with everything you said about this show, it’s whole plot is moved forwards by “convenience” and I still can’t get over the fact that the writers openly admitted they’d never seen a Star Wars movie nor the clone wars, and had no idea Anakin was Darth Vader
@@eddysandland58 unfortunately yes the writers have admitted they had to constantly talk to pablo Hidalgo because they’d never seen a Star Wars film and called it a “good day” when they realised they could use Vader and Anakin in the same shown
For clarification, what the writers weren't aware of was whether or not Obi-Wan knew Anakin was Darth Vader at the end of ROTS. Not that writers didn't know Anakin and Vader were the same.
@@eddysandland58 Yeah, Joby admitted in an interview that he had to ask to Pablo Hidalgo if Kenobi knew by this point that Anakins' Sith name was Vader. Indirectly, that means he admitted he's either never seen ROTS or it's been so long, he's forgotten it, because it's as clear as day in that movie that Kenobi knew this. I mean...I've done more research writing freakin' fan fiction before. It's pathetic.
I can see the writers now .... "So what happens when Reva catches up to them on the roof?" ..... then they didn't write the part where Reva catches up with them on the roof. Crisis averted..... who says writing is hard?
Honestly, I think the robot bounty hunter just disappearing for 5 minutes is worse...like he was literally up on the roof shooting at them, and then he's just not there anymore with no acknowledgement from the scene, until he pops up again in the alley
You were right the whole time. Disney hates SW with a passion and it's doing its best to destroy it. It's clear since they violate their own canon and make characters behave way differently than they would actually do, making one of the most badass and powerful jedi knights, and THE master of soresu (y' know, the best defense technique) less than a shadow of his former self amd giving up everything he has lived for (which utterly contradicts old Ben Kenobi). Just to spite in Lucas's name and fuck the franchise beyond redemption.
It’s crazy if you go through UA-cam you see those polls talking about what did you think of episode 1, 2, 3 etc and everyone says 5 out of 5. It’s unbelievable
And even meeting Leia ruins The Last Hope. And it is insane how Reva can read minds sometimes but not others. But the insane suspension of disbelief required to but into any of this show is so great…
Disney has turned the star wars' universe into a franchise with more plot armor and contrivance than the fast and furious franchise. I swear they throw actual feces on the wall and whatever sticks becomes a show.
Have you come to destroy me obi wan? You came here after me..? But i will do what i must! *he then proceeds to NOT do what he must, not killing vader* 9/10 ign
well if you know star wars then u should know that vader is alive in the originals, so why the fuck would kenobi killed him, Lazy Disney did the same thing that happened in Revenge of the sith, Kenobi literally said '' i would do what i must'' in revenge of the sith, when he beat Anakin did he came down and chopped his head off lol , NO CAUSE VADER IS SUPPOSED TO LIVE, same thing here just with the same dialogue, I swear if there was internet in the prequels do you know how much hate hayden and Lucas were going to get.
Disney have said since the beginning that they will make content for the old star wars fan (F**k the prequels kinda thing). Mission accomplished if you ask me. The prequels were lambasted for being too complex, political, having long drawn out character development, too boring between the stupid childish action and new CGI tech. Disney listened and now don't bother with explanations, continuity or any development whatsoever. Just rehash old places, characters and stories and make a meme-able Kobra Kai like nostalgia trip without depth. Just 'Good' vs 'Evil' with no in between and 'Good' always wins no matter what. Be careful what you wish for is the lesson here...I love the originals and love the prequels more because they developed from what I had already fallen for. My love stopped after Force Awakens. I enjoy these videos more than I enjoy the new stuff. so thank you, keep it up
I guess some people going into the prequel trilogy, just wanted a soulless rehash of the original trilogy. To quote another under appreciated Lucas masterpiece (the one involving a crystal skull) "Be careful. You might just get exactly what you wish for."
Just in: the Reeeva spinoff show will be about Reva going around the galaxy kidnapping and torturing the kids of anyone who ever had a small link to Obi-Wan
The only good thing about this series were the scenes with Vader and Obi-Wan, (except that stopped by fire shit at the end of episode 3). But how much screen time did they get together? About 10-15 minutes over a total 6 hours across the series. The training scene at the Jedi temple saved the bizarre plot of episode 5. And the final fight scene between them is one of the most franchise-defining scenes we’ve had in years. Instead of more of this, we got a boring escort mission, full of plot holes and retcons to Lucas’s work, and some stupid, half-assed, nonsensical redemption story of reva. Why can’t people catch leia when she is WELL within arms-reach. Why won’t they use TIE fighters at all in this series? Was there a gas shortage?
Like the prequalified, too many scenes of people just standing around. Like the sequels, really slow chase scenes, people standing around rather than running with alarms going off, and nobody ever seems prepared for anything.
The most important part of a production is writing.... For a mega block bust in a lucrative brand such as Starwars... You pick who as your writer????? WTF???? That's like taking some no name dude from your company softball team and starting him in the world series. Uh... Yeah, no wonder you failed. But then again. Most of these writers don't write anything. The Disney executives write the script on napkins and the writers just say "yes boss!" It's like the general manager decides to pitch. It's embarrassing
I have to agree, the volume looks amazing in Mando, why does certain scenes look like it so obviously has a screen in the background in Kenobi? Like Vader pulling the ship looks so bad lol
Completely agree. The direction and cinematography was terrible. Amateurish shot choices & bland lighting made even worse by dark, muddy color grading. I've legitimately seen independent films that have been better shot, better lit and with more expansive sci fi worlds made mostly by teams of less than a dozen people, sometimes as few as 2 or 3. And that's with basically zero budget. Disney should be embarrassed.
@@SangheiliSpecOp yeah! Also, I am so tired of Tatooine man (sorry if I butchered the spelling), why can't we move on from that desert lmao. I realise it's probably the cheapest place for Disney to film stuff since it doesn't need to be terribly detailed, but bruv, how many stuff can we actually cram into this one planet before it starts getting ridiculous and breaking the story? Even now, when Luke was a kid there were apparently sith warriors 15 min from his house screaming about hunting down the Jedi. I feel like, if he was already going to the city regularly, wouldn't the locals be talking about the day when a black girl with a red saber cut someone's arm off, or at least debate with Owen about how he almost got murdered (like "Yo, you okay man? That must've been traumatic."). Or Luke just forgetting the day a weird girl with a bright weapon storming his house, melting down all the furniture somehow (he apparently doesn't ask questions about how the Tuscan lads could've done such a thing), or when he got force pulled into a rock. Or why did Reva use the saber to light the way prior (even though it was illogical and just gave away her position and let Owen and his gal ambush her), but when it would've arguably made more sense to turn it on so that she can get some light while searching for Luke she just doesn't turn it on cause Luke must not see a saber cannonically? I'm sorry, this rant's long , I'm not even mad at the series, just disappointed yet not surprised. So many plotholes in every single episode
Another thing that really grinds my gears is the first confrontation between Vader and Obi. Vader picks him up using the force, making a big show about dragging him through the flames. But then when the flames intensify and he can't get past him... Vader suddenly can't levitate him anymore? What?!
Disney is trying to make the most money possible with the least amount spent on actors and directors... "So 5k for a whole show... perfect your hired as director"
Question: if you’re Vader and you know that Organa is in contact with Kenobi, wouldn’t the logical thing to do next is to pay Organa a little visit? If you answered yes then congratulations, you just destroyed the entire plot line of the OT. Because if Vader ever did that then he would find out Kenobi is hiding out on Tatooine and probably find out about Luke.
To think you’re only on the second episode so far. Man I’m here for it though when you journey further into the various levels of hell this show keeps falling into. I really tried to give this one a shot after Bobafat made me question the franchise again. Best part of the show was when I turned off D+.
I heard that the original script was for a feature film and was about two hours long. Riva originally died but they rewrote that so she could be in season two.
I hope everyone is well on the planet of crazy. Thanks for all the comments and views. I really appreciate it. But this show! It’s hard to imagine a plot more stupid then the one we are getting in the Obi-Wan Kenobi show. And the more you watch it the worse it gets. But do you agree? And of course, if you enjoyed the video (how could you not) hit the “Like”. Subscribing and sharing the video is always a big help. And of course the bell. Cheers Everyone!
It's a cash grab but I can't expect much from a movie franchise sidelined into series shows with cheap fight scenes.
You know my favorite video of yours, the last Jedi bombers video, I just want to say, the bomber would be good as a gunboat in a fleet, just replace the bombs with anti fighter concussion missles and it would be perfect anti fighter ship in any fleet ( just have it stick with the slower capital ships and carriers

@@thomasholland5487 Ngl I prefer the cartoon Star Wars series to the live action ones
For your question about how does Reva know Obi WAN’s relationship with Bale Organa, I found the answer. In a deleted scene from the show, we see Reva’s room in the Inquisitorium. In it, we can see a blue-ray copy of Revenge of the Sith on a shelf.
Glad I could help
And am I the only one who noticed Jimmy Smits wasn't actually playing the role of Bail Organa?

"scared of reva" has gotta be the funniest thing.
kylo and reva are literally personifications of how to make poor villains without any teeth. apparently, kids throwing tantrums is supposed to be scary.
It's not as scary as it is annoying huh
REva can't kill PoCs, only whites. That's why Paj33t isn't scared of her.
Kylo was at least saved by Adam Driver's acting, but Moses Ingram is nowhere near him. When his acting actually looks like a traumatized psycho, her acting looks like a bully kid running around acting like she's the boss
kylo was terrible and weak, but he comes off as the king of villains compared to Reva
It’s not scary like Vader.
It’s threatening.
So, they wrote a story about a character called Reva, who is a murderous physchopath that gets redemption because she's misunderstood, and called the show obiwan to sell it.
Exactly
I mean, hardly anyone except SW diehards would watch a show called Star Wars: Reva, so they went with a recognizable brand instead. Like all soul-less corporations do.
@Char Aznable Yeah, they actually do something like that
Very little though, some cool moments but there’s too much bad writing to balance it out
^^
Apparently the original script was pretty good. Reva was a side character meant to haunt Obi wan because of his past failure to stop the emperors plans who would redeem herself but still die. The focus was on Obi Wan.
But I assume that someone higher up (KK) wanted this female BIPOC to have a bigger role and even a spin off. So she couldn’t die and had to be more likable. But of course they left her as the villain so they were screwed.
I love the idea of Reva furiously parkouring in circles for 10 minutes straight
Hilarious!
Take out the EVa from her name and replace it with Y...what do we get...rey 2.0😂😂😂
It keeps getting worse and worse the more I think about it. Virtually every single aspect of this series was a failure. It is not the actors fault they were given garbage to work with. This failure sits squarely with the writers and production company.
The only good part was Obi Wan and Vader's duel. It feels like they had one solid idea, then put up a bunch of window dressing around it to make a series.
I admire your positivity, because I lost respect for actors decades ago. The show is irrefutably garbage. The actors read the used toilet paper that was the script, signed the deal, and then that cowardly scumbag Ewam McGarbage actively participated on twitter calling the fans of his own show toxic, bigoted, and all this other anti LGBT+-APX buzzwords.
I get where you are coming from, but imagine someone came to you and said they’ll give you a million to play Captain Hodor from The Last Jedi. Would you do it? Very likely, but you would understand everyone HATES that character and you would know you chose the money over principle.
That said. I agree with you except the actors helped make this garbage. If Ewam said no, we wouldn’t have yet another dog shit SW plot.
At this point, Star Wars has 2.5 good movies (sorry, I always hated the Ewoks), 8 extra garbage movies, and 3 garbage shows. We have a 2.5/16 ratio of good to terrible. So about 84% of Star Wars has been bad. I didn’t even count the video games like the pay-to-play scams from EA’s Battlefront.
Star Wars is long dead, but at least the hate is keeping us together around the campfire in union. Pass the blue alien tiddy milk please 🥛 😃
I have been wondering lately if Neil Breen's secret plot to take over all the screenwriting in Hollywood himself has secretly been completed. I picture him shirtless and locked in a tiny room in LA writing all this garbage.

How to spot a narcissist writer: Character destroys things I don't care about, but character spares something I do care about = redeemed character. The true redemption arc would be a willing submission to justice, some expression of remorse, and then change demonstrated over time. The power of her arc would have been expecting justice but receiving mercy, then living differently. Narcissists can't ever admit fault, though, so we have the "I can't hurt someone who I empathize with, so I'm a good person" plot instead.
How to spot insecure manbabies: They whine aboot 'wokeness', diversity and stupid canon.
Wow that reminds me of The Last of Us 2
Amen, brother.
You just called George Lucas a narcissist writer. Anakin Skywalker or Darth Vader murdered many people we didn't care about but spared one that we did care about and is considered redeemed. Vader never submitted to justice (don't say his death counts, he was granted immortality), expressed remorse past apologizing nearly killing his son despite murdering thousands in the past 25 years, or demonstrated change over time. He simply decided to save his son said sorry bruh and died yet that is seen as the greatest redemption arc of all time. and it is. you don't understand the intricacies of it however you just remember liking it as a kid. I'm not saying Obi-wan is perfect, but you seem to not be able to look past a minor flaw unless you had a pre-determined outlook on the person or plot.

All of the details mentioned are absolutely spot on.

Because this series, is The Last Jedi of the prequel era.

I’m just shocked that they managed to make a show about Kenobi and Vader boring..
Gotta applaud them for that as it takes skill to fuck up this bad
If it was actually about them maybe. It was more about Reva and her backstory and evidently a springboard for her own series
This will really go down in history for being so fucking mediocre it hurts
I said the same thing about the Rey trilogy... guess Disney refused to learn their lesson.
They're too big to fail financially. They know they don't have to try, so I suppose why would they?
We all know that they put Obi wan's name as a title because no one would gave a shit about a tv show about Reva.
Well I mean, Vader was never supposed to be there anyways. Shitass nobody Reva that shouldn't even exist because the whole point of Order 66 was to erase ALL Jedi with only Obi-Wan and Yoda escaping so that Vader and Palpatine could solidify their power without any actual opposition, but is his helmet supposed to be squeezing his brain? Cuz there's no fucking way she finds out about Luke and he doesn't! I mean, that literally should have been his only thought "Now, why the fuck is my old master on MY old home planet?!" Like, did he really never think "Okay, Padme's dead, maybe what I was feeling wasn't her BEING alive but her GIVING life?"?! No.. Just no. And of course instead of making any of the other characters cool or interesting or likeable at all, they have all of these PoC and all differently oriented peoples just to mark a check on the makeup pallet they use on their asses.

I cannot get past the fact that Vadar can force stop an entire starship, but couldn't force-grab Obiwan out of the fire to prevent a slow moving Droid to pick him up and just walk away...
Is this writer fucking demented?
Obi-wan has a mind more heavy than that of a starship, always thinking about that high ground.
He also couldn't do the same to the falcon in ep V
He forgor 💀
Especially after he both started and put out the exact same fire 10 seconds prior
He didn’t want to kill Obi-Wan then.
Among everything mentioned here, a problem I had was there were ZERO stakes in this entire show. Any characters I cared about already had their stories continued or ended in the original trilogy. I couldn’t have cared less about Reva or any new character introduced in this show as the only way they could or would be important is by any spin off shows. I can’t even remember most of the characters names.
The whole plot of this show was so poorly made. I would have taken an Obi-Wan trauma series were he’s struggling to cope with his past as he completes the training Yoda gave him at the end of Ep. 3. We could have seen Duchess Satine, younger Ashoka, younger Anakin, and clone wars stuff in flash backs. Which imo would have been amazing. Obi-Wan is so much more of a character than just teaching Anakin and Luke. And the Clone Wars did such a good job of showing that. Kenobi did not. His character was so one note and boring the entire time. I took more enjoyment in counting the amount of times he could have said ‘Hello there’ or some memey shit.
You're so fucking right
absolutely agree, it seems disney hates the clone wars era and is obsessed with ruining loved characters for no reason
The funniest part is: most of the characters ended up where they started.
Yeah, I felt the same way that you did. The saddest part about Obi-Wan Kenobi is that even if its writing was any better and it did not make Kenobi a useless lump who had to be directed by a child Princess Leia, there would still be nothing at stake for any of the characters we already know from the prequel trilogy or the original trilogy. That sadly may have been why the Obi-Wan Kenobi writers or directors did not try; they never denied that making an interquel series about Obi-Wan Kenobi and the planet of Tatooine being chased and pursued by a new character who was a youngling Anakin failed to kill in the past, was a meaningless pursuit where putting any effort into the writing, directing, cinematography or even the budget would be totally pointless no matter what.
Putting real thought or effort into this pointless production to make Obi-Wan Kenobi as useful as he used to be would have at least won this mini-series the nostalgia points it was aiming to get from people who wanted to see a new story about Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader one last time. Your idea of having an intentionally lower-stakes storyline in between the two trilogies where Obi-Wan completes his training with Yoda, and struggles to cope with his past with flashbacks of the Clone Wars sounds way better in my opinion.

The thing about Leia is, they clearly didn't hide the fact that she was adopted (which makes sense since the mother was never pregnant), but instead relied on the fact that no-one would ever know who her real parents are. Since Vader assumes they all died with Padme, and no-one else knew that Anakin was the Dad, there's literally NO reason for anyone in the galaxy to ever connect the dots.
The Book of Boba Fett was bad but Obi-Wan Kenobi was even worse. Think about it; Boba Fett was a somewhat one-dimensional (unless you count EU/Legends) character while Obi-wan was someone we saw grow across several films and a 7 season cartoon series. If I were to compare the damage that was done to the characters by Disney's mishandling to bicycle accidents I'd say TBoBF is the equivalent of falling off your bike and skinning your elbows/knees while Obi-Wan Kenobi is getting rammed by a Semi-truck.
A semi-truck burning so bright it melts the eyes of bystanders
Obiwan doesn’t get ruined at all though.
Kenobi was fine. The show does a better job treating Obi-Wan as a character than the prequels did.
In keeping with that analogy, Boba Fett was a rinky-dink bike that fell off a cliff and rolled to the bottom covered with rocks and dents. Obi-Wan was the souped up hot-rod of a car that slammed into a semi truck. And maybe you can repair the hood, fix the broken glass, make it look nice - but the engine got a crack, and it’s slowly leaking life away.

At the end of the day, I feel like Reva was completely unnecessary to the story. You could have cut her out entirely and had Vader been the one doing everything she was doing. The focus should have been on those two the entire time and If this was just a movie and we had way more Ewan and Hayden I think the praise would be unreal, Ewan and Hayden did amazing and I'm just grateful that they returned and for their performances.
But if they did that then they couldn’t force a Reva-led spin off series that no one is asking for.
Wait -
You mean to suggest that a character that has never appeared or been referenced in any other film, and whose only behavior is a series of contrived missteps to further the weak plot of this mini-series, is completely unnecessary to the story other than to help pad out the villain diversity roster? No way.

At least if you want to show rather than tell, how smart they are.
JUST IMAGINE a star wars with the writers of Breaking Bad or Fargo. I mean geez, it's not rocket science.
The Jedi Parkour scene was the dumbest shit I've ever seen in Star Wars.
She jumped forward while doing a backflip. It's horrible. 😒
@@eggsbenedict2251 well that's called a gainer its a real flip you can do but the wires she was wearing made it loon horrible

Yet think of all the people in all the meetings that scene had to go through from concept to shooting to get green lit in the final product! I blame the education system!

When Disney took over I was hopeful we would get some content that could almost rival the original trilogy. Now I think we’d be very lucky if we got anything half as good as attack of the clones

It feels like with each dis+ series the folks at Lucasfilm try there best to optimize the production further and further. And by 'optimize' I mean they reduce the production time as quickly as possible so they can move onto the next dis+ show they need to rush out to meet quotas. There's no passion in the writing of these shows, the plot just feels like a basic outline with a few undeveloped ideas that was only put to screen out of obligation. If I didn't know any better I'd think the script was literally spewed out of an AI that they just fed a bunch of previous star wars material into. Its got all the basic Disney tropes like they just parameters, a lot of scenes feel like they were poorly ripped off from previous Star Wars material, and the writing has a comical lack of thought put into it that it. Yah either an AI or a person with all the imagination of a AI scribbled out this script in one draft and the team put it to screen with all the enthusiasm of an eighth grade book report, content in the knowledge that the actually quality of the material is comically irrelevant as long as Dis+ metrics are good and the normies on twitter clap... what a waste...
I know what you mean. The sad thing is that I think this story could have been really interesting. I have always wondered how Leia knew Obi and what kind of badass training he was getting up to on Tatooine but no. Instead we're given this. I would have loved to see a story where Leia first finds out about the rebels and decided to join like in her late teens or something. But no. *sigh* so much wasted potential
The Obi Wan series was delayed because of reshoots, they worked hard on it
Couldn’t have said it better
@@lucasoheyze4597
Reva's Rooftop Ramble implies the opposite.
Of course you insecure manchildren are complaining Kenobi didn't confirm all your fan theories.
Here's the great part about Star Wars:
Being able to watch it over and over again and still love it. The OT and prequels deliver on this front, even if the prequel dialogue is alittle hard to sit through.
However Disney Star Wars is something that's 1 and done. You watch it, consume, then forget it. I haven't watched the sequels again since the theater, and neither will I be watching Kenobi or BoBF again.
This is something I have noticed too. Have watched the OT and prequels more times than I can count…the sequels though. Only saw TFA in the theatre and only watched the last two ‘fan fic’ disasters online out of some kind of perverse desire similar to watching videos of car crashes. Never watched them again. Occasionally scroll past them on Disney and even once started watching the last one once but only lasted 5 mins. Don’t plan to ever watch them again…
I've watched 1-6 alot throughout the years, episode 1 only a few times, but 2-6 alot. I watched the first 2 of the sequels once and never again. They were bad enough that I skipped 9. I only use some dumb scenes from 9 as jokes in my videos, but that's about it. Never seen it, and don't ever plan on it.
Even Temuera Morrison hates what was done with Boba Fett.
Does everyone over look clone wars or just haven’t seen it? As a whole, it’s by far and away the best piece of Star Wars media out there
@@clay___doh Of course I've seen clone wars. 6 times through. Its amazing!
Talk about the directing, the shaky camera was killing me lol
The writing of the Obi-Wan was so bad, it prompted me to put together this,
“Ten Basic Requirements for a competent Story”(Obi-Wan series writers fail at all ten!)
1. Have a Story to tell. A beginning, middle & end.
2. Follow a story structure that works, such as "Once upon a time there was ___. Every day, ___. One day ___. Because of that, ___. Because of that, ___. Until finally ___."
3. Follow the Law of Noncontradiction.
4. Write interesting, memorable and relatable characters.
5. Keep character consistency.
6. Honor cause and effect.
7. Detail the rules of your universe and Obey the established rules of the universe the story takes place in.
8. Set up & then pay off.
9. Subversion, make the subversion as logical and rewarding, if not more, than what you are subverting from.
10. Write a good ending, ideally something you may not see coming, but ultimately feels inevitable.
Kenobi succeeded in all 10 points, so be satisfied.

Keep up the great work my friend 👍
Cheers Anthony, thanks 👍
Reva is just.....the worst. She is one of the horrendous actors I’ve ever seen.
I know the acting has never really been a high point of Star Wars, but at least it was entertaining. Obi Wan was just bad on every level. Fight choreography, plot, directing, acting. It was such a mess.
It’s true, it’s almost like they’re trolling us, daring people to be critical of her performance so they can all call us racist.
Acting aside too, she’s so short! That’s why Gal Gadot was cast as Wonder Woman because she’s like 5’11. A 5’5/5’6 woman who has to then stand next to the likes of Darth Vader is not going to come across intimidating, even if she’s the best actor in the world (which she clearly isn’t).
@@infinitelybanta DeWanda Wise would've made Reva so much more badass
@@kuhanblock9380 She’s a 💩 character. Denzel in drag wouldn’t make it better
And the lines she's given are really bad. And whatever direction she was given was insane, too.
I laugh every time I see her screaming "Tell me where the Jedi is!" because she awkwardly puts the emphasis on the word "is".
@@infinitelybanta That's exactly what it is, they did the same shite with TLJ where they used Kelly as a human shield against genuine criticism.
It's hilarious how everytime they write a token character they're hilariously badly written, and gotta remove them from chinese posters to make that extra money right
“Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made”
The Grand Inquisitor was the best part of the show IMO. Cool character, glad they showed what he's been up to before Rebels.
I was really surprised when I actually liked him. The actor was killing it
Fuck, man. That „Local Rapist“-line had me roaring with laughter … while I listened to this with my earphones in public. Good one. 😂
“In my experience, there’s no such thing as ‘luck.'” -Obi-Wan Kenobi
Another bit of George Lucas's writing that now means nothing. Thanks Kathleen Kennedy!
Would that quote mean that obi wan was saying it's more skill than getting lucky or was he saying that Experiencing lucky or incredible coincidences are infact a result of trusting The Force Which leads to him being in the right places at the right times
Disney employees look so uncanny and android-like, I thought the screenwriter and actor in the first 15 seconds had deepfakes for a joke, but no, that's what they look like.
It's crazy how such a big company like Disney can have writers so bad at writing a Star Wars story/plotline. Literally almost any fanboy of Star Wars that you can pick off the streets could write a better story that the ones that Disney has writing. Just goes to show how incompetent the management is at Disney.
It's a great show. I love how canvas can block the exit and stop the Jedi hunters even though they could have just walked around it.
Amazing writing
Kenobi came out and millions of minds and souls were snapped out of existence! These writers accomplished what no one has done before: they made Star Wars irrelevant!
My daughters who have loved Star wars since they were kids and I only showed them the original stuff and the expanded universe until lately. they also happen to be two young black ladies. The first thing they said when they looked at Rivas character is why did they make another stereotypical black woman? Can't Hollywood write a black woman to be anything but an angry sassy b****. As a man married to a black woman with two black daughters the last thing you want to do is accuse a black woman of being angry or sassy.
Its also funny how they never make a black character the protagonist, or even a support character. Best example would be how they completely fucked up fins character, even tho he carried the entire sequel trilogy, and they decide to not go anywhere with his arc. Its probably not that they are woke or racist, but the fact they dont give a shit and only want to make money ;-;
I felt the same way about Leia. Another stereotypical little girl who knows everything and bosses everyone around and no one ever knocks down a peg for being a spoiled little brat who constantly gets them into trouble
@@SlightlyInactive once u saw what they did with Finn about 20 minutes in the second so called sequel I was out. Not because he was black, but although he was clearly force sensitive, and both He and Rey could have been Force wielders, but no Rey no training knew how to call a light saber never before using force telekinesis, and Finn was a joke on a hospital bed floor.
@@RastaganTheGreen the kids get everything without mistakes and no one has taught them, nor do they show any humility.
I feel bad for your daughters.
Both Inquisitor and Reva were stabbed by Reva's lightsaber and lived.
Seems woman's lightsaber is about 40% less effective than that of a man.
I was surprised not to see other UA-camrs picking up on that Reva's "Obi-waan, come out to plaaaay" style "Warriors" reference. It was so out of place, a Friday 13th gimmick, with the "horror inducing" Reva hunting down helpless Obi that is hiding behind a cupboard.
It was creepy, but not in the intended or a good way.
I began to regret letting my free Disney+ subscription lapse - which was obtained from purchasing a Verizon phone plan in 2019 - once I saw Obi-Wan was getting his own series.
Thankfully, your video proved what I knew in my heart of hearts to be true; this would not be a Rogue One-level exception to the travesty that is Disney-owned Star Wars, but a further dumbing-down of the characters and stories we already know and love.
thanks for saving me frm this, I was heart broken after TLJ but now I will go to my grave laughing my head off at the staggering incompetance of turning a precious IP into something comedic, these people get paid to do this, my mind is blown.
Legit thought about how much fun robot head is going to have with this show when I was watching it
My plan is working 👍
I've seen so many Star Wars content creators praise this show for how it handles the Star Wars storyline. I just can't understand why these incredibly well versed fans of the franchise, who've read dozens of comics, books, watched all the TV shows, and all the movies, who've grown up in the era of George Lucas, still consider this garbage actually a good story. Because although there are SOME good scenes within this show in the later half of the season, the lazy writing, dumb choices that characters make, and plot holes the size of the death star, outweigh all of the somewhat good scenes combined.
Just because a show has some good scenes, doesn't make it a good show.
Ive wondered the same thing. Cognitive dissonance has to be a major factor.
Just watch the Red Letter Media episode on it - after getting mentally raped by how bad Picard was, they more or less were just relived to watch Obi Wan as "something stupid but better than Picard". It's the least common denominator coupled with Stockholm Syndrome, I've had friends who unironically say well Rise of Skywalker was alright but Last Jedi was terrible, but then think Obi Wan was "decent" as well as Boba Fett - the longer man lives breathing, eating, and sleeping in shit, he has no concept of how better and different things could be in the ocean or mountains.
@@kudjo24 Your comment is very correct when all we get is garbage the one time we get something not complete absolute garbage everyone thinks its the best.
@@kudjo24Red Letter Media has no business complaining about Disney Star Wars; they are the ones who paved the way through with all their garbage prequel "reviews" which paved the way for George Lucas to sell his company to Disney.
As far as I'm concerned Disney Star Wars is their reward due to all those who gave George such garbage from 2009 to 2012 because of the propaganda in those garbage "reviews".
The Kenobi series, like the sequels trilogy had few good ideas and scenes here and there, but there were not enough to save the big picture.
Plotline: Kenobi abandons his primary mission of guarding Luke in order to go on a wild goose chase for Bail Organa, lmao.
presenting yourself to Reva as a jedi is like, flashing a gun at a cop while smokeing crack with your genitals hanging out, its not going to end well.
All while wearing either an SS uniform or a KKK hood and robe.
For a while now Disney has treated Star Wars fans like the family of a kidnapped child, putting out bad products and expecting praise or threatening to end any potential future for the things we used to love.
I like Ewan as obi wan but I won’t just watch something because it has a character I like and doing so just incentivises this attitude from Disney that writing comes after spectacle
“be a bedroom hero” and “don’t be a victim of being bad at sex” are just what i needed to hear today
It really amazes me how they continue to screw up the most seemingly easy things, Book of Boba could’ve had us get more story development and screen time for Boba but instead we got Mandalorian season 3.5. And now with Kenobi they somehow messed up the most easy opportunity of fan service in a while with horrible writing
Because no George Lucas, no Star Wars. Everyone just needs to accept this.
Honestly this is wat happens when you try to make star wars the MCU and make like 4 shows a year. Evevrythings gonna be mid as there's no time for improvement
@@Acujeremy I knew this for years. Glad to see that everyone agrees with me.
i was kinda enthralled over youre quick plot change voice over. actually soo much better than the real story.
My fave part too 🤣
you gotta applaud how huge they went on my boy Larry Kenobi. The guy was like the best strategian, always clever with his plans, they just managed to make Obi-Wan a bum in fear who had never experience in anything, basically the whole show Obi-Wan is just crying: OH NO LEAVE ME, DONT ASK ME ANYTHING, I M NOT THE SAME ANYMORE, 10 YEARS HAVE PASSED, I FORGOT EVERYTHING. NOW I AM A STUPID SAND BUM WHO ONLY KNOWS HOW TO WORK ON A MEAT FARM. Oh boy, you certainly couldn't hit me harder then that with what you've done to my favorite character. he cannot even catch a 10 year old, ooops, I forgot, nobody in this show outruns a 10 year old. Gotta love disney's strong female characters.
And remember that scene where Kenobi and Leia have to invent a legend to tell the stormtroopers? Of course its Leia, because Obi-Wan didn't go through countless undercover missions during the clone wars and can barely say two words. FUCKING DISGUSTING.
Would you like to buy some drugs larry?
Did you watch the final episode my friend?
@@afemboy1863 Unfortunately one halfway decent episode can’t make up for an entire season of utter stupidity. Every single episode was plagued with bad writing, bad setups and virtually 0 payoffs. The scene where the girl officer just slaps two stormtroopers and they drop dead is beyond one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen from a movie/show and I never thought I would say that about anything having to do with Star Wars.
@@afemboy1863 1 episode of obi wan randomly becoming an earthbender doesn't change what the entire show did. I'm not as disgusted as this guy because I really don't take Disney wars seriously. But the last episode doesn't change the rest of the show, it just made it a bit more ridiculous.
I think he goes by Bonjo now, but point taken nonetheless.
You've made my day once again! Your content is far more enjoyable than this show itself. I haven't liked a UA-cam channel so much ever since the glory days of AVGN. Keep on doing the great job, mate!
You're absolutely right, Robot Head is a master of pointing out the stupidity of Disney Star Wars.
This is a way better than the show itself. 🤣
9:30 one thing the films have never been very clear on is that Jedi are heavily trained in a form of martial arts called Echani, but apart from that I agree with everything you said about this show, it’s whole plot is moved forwards by “convenience” and I still can’t get over the fact that the writers openly admitted they’d never seen a Star Wars movie nor the clone wars, and had no idea Anakin was Darth Vader
You can’t make this up.
FIA, SERIOUSLY The Writers have admitted what you've written above? WOW! HOW or WHY do they get Hired 🤔? No Wonder it's Shite! Thanks
@@eddysandland58 unfortunately yes the writers have admitted they had to constantly talk to pablo Hidalgo because they’d never seen a Star Wars film and called it a “good day” when they realised they could use Vader and Anakin in the same shown
For clarification, what the writers weren't aware of was whether or not Obi-Wan knew Anakin was Darth Vader at the end of ROTS. Not that writers didn't know Anakin and Vader were the same.
@@eddysandland58 Yeah, Joby admitted in an interview that he had to ask to Pablo Hidalgo if Kenobi knew by this point that Anakins' Sith name was Vader. Indirectly, that means he admitted he's either never seen ROTS or it's been so long, he's forgotten it, because it's as clear as day in that movie that Kenobi knew this. I mean...I've done more research writing freakin' fan fiction before. It's pathetic.
I can see the writers now .... "So what happens when Reva catches up to them on the roof?" ..... then they didn't write the part where Reva catches up with them on the roof.
Crisis averted..... who says writing is hard?
Honestly, I think the robot bounty hunter just disappearing for 5 minutes is worse...like he was literally up on the roof shooting at them, and then he's just not there anymore with no acknowledgement from the scene, until he pops up again in the alley
I love how Vader can sense life force from across the galaxy but just stabs Reva and leaves her a few foot away from
Him.
Disney has a great record of taking genuinely interesting concepts and then fumbling them so fucking hard
I'm so early Disney hasn't shadowed banned this video yet.
You were right the whole time. Disney hates SW with a passion and it's doing its best to destroy it. It's clear since they violate their own canon and make characters behave way differently than they would actually do, making one of the most badass and powerful jedi knights, and THE master of soresu (y' know, the best defense technique) less than a shadow of his former self amd giving up everything he has lived for (which utterly contradicts old Ben Kenobi). Just to spite in Lucas's name and fuck the franchise beyond redemption.
Disney somehow gets Obi-Wan better than George Lucas did
Yes please do more of these they're way more entertaining than the actual show
It’s crazy if you go through UA-cam you see those polls talking about what did you think of episode 1, 2, 3 etc and everyone says 5 out of 5. It’s unbelievable
And even meeting Leia ruins The Last Hope. And it is insane how Reva can read minds sometimes but not others. But the insane suspension of disbelief required to but into any of this show is so great…
*A New Hope
Disney has turned the star wars' universe into a franchise with more plot armor and contrivance than the fast and furious franchise. I swear they throw actual feces on the wall and whatever sticks becomes a show.
the prequels already did that
Have you come to destroy me obi wan?
You came here after me..? But i will do what i must!
*he then proceeds to NOT do what he must, not killing vader*
9/10 ign
Something tells me that the writers of Kenobi were fans of They Laugh At Us: Part 2.
well if you know star wars then u should know that vader is alive in the originals, so why the fuck would kenobi killed him,
Lazy Disney did the same thing that happened in Revenge of the sith, Kenobi literally said '' i would do what i must'' in revenge of the sith, when he beat Anakin did he came down and chopped his head off lol , NO CAUSE VADER IS SUPPOSED TO LIVE, same thing here just with the same dialogue, I swear if there was internet in the prequels do you know how much hate hayden and Lucas were going to get.
Disney have said since the beginning that they will make content for the old star wars fan (F**k the prequels kinda thing). Mission accomplished if you ask me. The prequels were lambasted for being too complex, political, having long drawn out character development, too boring between the stupid childish action and new CGI tech. Disney listened and now don't bother with explanations, continuity or any development whatsoever. Just rehash old places, characters and stories and make a meme-able Kobra Kai like nostalgia trip without depth. Just 'Good' vs 'Evil' with no in between and 'Good' always wins no matter what. Be careful what you wish for is the lesson here...I love the originals and love the prequels more because they developed from what I had already fallen for. My love stopped after Force Awakens. I enjoy these videos more than I enjoy the new stuff. so thank you, keep it up
I guess some people going into the prequel trilogy, just wanted a soulless rehash of the original trilogy.
To quote another under appreciated Lucas masterpiece (the one involving a crystal skull)
"Be careful. You might just get exactly what you wish for."
As with Ruin Johnson, Joby was instructed by KK to rewrite the script with minimum capability
Just in: the Reeeva spinoff show will be about Reva going around the galaxy kidnapping and torturing the kids of anyone who ever had a small link to Obi-Wan
you deserve at least 1mil subscribers for this brilliant analysis
The only good thing about this series were the scenes with Vader and Obi-Wan, (except that stopped by fire shit at the end of episode 3). But how much screen time did they get together? About 10-15 minutes over a total 6 hours across the series. The training scene at the Jedi temple saved the bizarre plot of episode 5. And the final fight scene between them is one of the most franchise-defining scenes we’ve had in years. Instead of more of this, we got a boring escort mission, full of plot holes and retcons to Lucas’s work, and some stupid, half-assed, nonsensical redemption story of reva. Why can’t people catch leia when she is WELL within arms-reach. Why won’t they use TIE fighters at all in this series? Was there a gas shortage?
I loved seeing Vader go full beast mode. but that's about it.
Like the prequalified, too many scenes of people just standing around.
Like the sequels, really slow chase scenes, people standing around rather than running with alarms going off, and nobody ever seems prepared for anything.
The most important part of a production is writing....
For a mega block bust in a lucrative brand such as Starwars... You pick who as your writer????? WTF????
That's like taking some no name dude from your company softball team and starting him in the world series.
Uh... Yeah, no wonder you failed.
But then again.
Most of these writers don't write anything.
The Disney executives write the script on napkins and the writers just say "yes boss!"
It's like the general manager decides to pitch. It's embarrassing
DISNEY WARS is not Star Wars. PERIOD! To hell with Disney.
DING DING DING!!!
Sadly, I agree. Dreadful writing. Poor directorial choices. They even made _the Volume_ look terrible. Bland and dark. . .Or was it dark and bland?
Why were the lightsabers so damn bright anyway? Everything was so dark but the sabers had maximum saturation on them. It looked appalling and cheap
@@markoboizys2940 Agreed. The directorial choices made it look rather cheap overall.
I have to agree, the volume looks amazing in Mando, why does certain scenes look like it so obviously has a screen in the background in Kenobi? Like Vader pulling the ship looks so bad lol
Completely agree. The direction and cinematography was terrible. Amateurish shot choices & bland lighting made even worse by dark, muddy color grading. I've legitimately seen independent films that have been better shot, better lit and with more expansive sci fi worlds made mostly by teams of less than a dozen people, sometimes as few as 2 or 3. And that's with basically zero budget. Disney should be embarrassed.
@@SangheiliSpecOp yeah! Also, I am so tired of Tatooine man (sorry if I butchered the spelling), why can't we move on from that desert lmao. I realise it's probably the cheapest place for Disney to film stuff since it doesn't need to be terribly detailed, but bruv, how many stuff can we actually cram into this one planet before it starts getting ridiculous and breaking the story? Even now, when Luke was a kid there were apparently sith warriors 15 min from his house screaming about hunting down the Jedi. I feel like, if he was already going to the city regularly, wouldn't the locals be talking about the day when a black girl with a red saber cut someone's arm off, or at least debate with Owen about how he almost got murdered (like "Yo, you okay man? That must've been traumatic."). Or Luke just forgetting the day a weird girl with a bright weapon storming his house, melting down all the furniture somehow (he apparently doesn't ask questions about how the Tuscan lads could've done such a thing), or when he got force pulled into a rock. Or why did Reva use the saber to light the way prior (even though it was illogical and just gave away her position and let Owen and his gal ambush her), but when it would've arguably made more sense to turn it on so that she can get some light while searching for Luke she just doesn't turn it on cause Luke must not see a saber cannonically? I'm sorry, this rant's long , I'm not even mad at the series, just disappointed yet not surprised. So many plotholes in every single episode
Another thing that really grinds my gears is the first confrontation between Vader and Obi. Vader picks him up using the force, making a big show about dragging him through the flames. But then when the flames intensify and he can't get past him... Vader suddenly can't levitate him anymore? What?!
Disney is trying to make the most money possible with the least amount spent on actors and directors...
"So 5k for a whole show... perfect your hired as director"
Maybe it's marginally better than Boba. But it's like "What's better? Shit or shit?" Like, is neither an option?
Question: if you’re Vader and you know that Organa is in contact with Kenobi, wouldn’t the logical thing to do next is to pay Organa a little visit? If you answered yes then congratulations, you just destroyed the entire plot line of the OT. Because if Vader ever did that then he would find out Kenobi is hiding out on Tatooine and probably find out about Luke.
To think you’re only on the second episode so far. Man I’m here for it though when you journey further into the various levels of hell this show keeps falling into. I really tried to give this one a shot after Bobafat made me question the franchise again. Best part of the show was when I turned off D+.
I heard that the original script was for a feature film and was about two hours long. Riva originally died but they rewrote that so she could be in season two.
It's like not even the writers care about plot consistency anymore. Maybe they're focused on other things.
First ep Princess gets kidnapped, last episode Princess rescued, NOTHING CHANGED. POINTLESS.
