"I notice your lightsaber is blue, much like a certain harvest"

I was actually amazed when he said that, it’s such an interesting little tidbit. A real gem in the rough of great facts.

So weird, the thing I wanna say is always the first comment. The distortion and combination of both their voices, as they like crossfaded and glitched while the suit malfunctioned, _sick_ idea. As was the usage of the same exact SFX from Return of the Jedi, when his breathing got all fucked up at the end. And his eye / face through the helmet looked good, it didn't look fake and shitty at all. Ewan McGregor's performance in the entire finale episode was so emotional and great, it really like made me want the prequels to be better so I could watch them again lol.

I stood up and cheered when he said that so amazing, the emotion behind it 😭

He definitely said that

It subverted my expectations!

It was clearly hinted at plenty of times

I was hoping for a Mando cameo

@@darkcornersuk I'm just glad that John Krasinski finally made a cameo as The Master Office Man

Sadly no Mephisto. But did you guys notice the cameo of none other than the force ghost of Morbius?

Well not many people are that powerful enough to disrupt Vader's breathing

@@jonathanpabon4477 yeah thats the sort of lame excuse I tried to come up with

Well, canonically before this show.... Vader could used the Force to breath normally when his helping apparatus was broken.

@@danielvezina5521 yes he can for short periods of time but he has to focus on it and it would hinder his other force powers.

@@joshuagiehll3737 I think that in the comics Vader is far more powerful after a New Hope so it would make a bit of sense to be weaker than normal.

I agree. I thought the fight choreography was pretty damn good in this show. Better than anything we got in the sequels. I’ll give credit to Ewan and Haden for buckling down and actually taking the time to learn something complex.

And they consistently used the force to push/pull/manipulate the fight as well, which has been tragically underutilised until now

I still think there's so much more room for creative use of the lightsabers. Turning them on and off mid-swing, using the force to pull someone into the blade... there's so many cool ways to fight and all we get are standard sword fights with some twirly shit thrown in from time to time.

@@milojones9241 fr. The Vader vs reva duel and the final duel at the end were amazing

@@hollandscottthomas seeing a Jedi/Sith glide through someones attempted block by switching it off and on again just before contact would be amazingly slick and something i've always wanted to see. Would fit right in with a more Samurai influenced show/movie if they ever get round to it. Its definitely a move a one handed Mace Windu might come up with...

Not to mention Leia getting abducted and saved TWICE in a six episode show.

also too many characters getting stabbed in the stomach by lightsabers and not dying Qui Gon would've loved such a plot armour

The longer you use a lightsaber the more arrogant you become.

@@Nuggetlord6969 absolutely. Why did this show look cheaper than even Mandalorian and BOBF? It's so weird

Totally agree, I’m so over the Star Wars/MCU D+ content and finally started binging the boys, it’s like curing a bad hangover

@@user-gh5sd2nm5y wtf? If anything this looked better than both of those shows

I fully agree man they look strange, the light is very bright too, bounces off everything and with that constant camera shaking gives the show a fan made look

Rebels even explicitly says "yeah lightsabers stick to each other"

You want the main reason? It's Disney, they don't want bloody wounds.

I think the sequels sabers Slamming into each other and knocking the users back slightly looked great but here it looks like they're just using pool noodles

Absolutely agreed. I had to watch the majority of the series on my phone and the lighting was either too dark or the lightsabers made my eyes strain and hurt.

Seriously he put it into such good worsing

they managed to use the lightsabers as light sources REALLY well in The Force Awakens (I think because they have enough ambient light in the environment to make them not the ONLY light source), but in this show it really did blow out and oversaturate everything (specifically Ewan McGregor's face).

Yeah James was spot on with this and so are you. It definitely isn’t just him. They really just look like big LED batons (although I think the blue colour ones are worse looking in this respect than the red ones) and when they smack into each other they even bounce and rattle the way a big baton would. They look like they have a substantial weight to them, as opposed to feeling like swords made of light

I think another big reason they look kind of weird is because the lightsabers in this show are significantly thicker than they are in all the other star wars movies. I think that adds to the light baton feel.

Stop lying we all know it was Chris Pratt, since he's in everything now.

I cannot believe every single comment isn't about this. Almost as good as the "He's still out there!" Edit.... gosh, I forget which video that was from but the editing was 👌

I think its to connect it to A New Hope where Obi-Wan calls him darth throuhout their fight. I assume that was still before Lucas had the idea that Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker would be the same person so Darth was a first name at the time and not a title.

wrong

@@ethanbeam6975 Thanks for that insight. Really helps put things into perspective.

Also the changing of lighting from the sabres. When you first see Anakin through the helmet crack, the lighting is more blue/neutral. Then as he speaks and says his evil stuff the red lightsabre lighting takes over which was cool af to me.

I actually felt bad for him. It was super sad. You can feel the vulnerability of Darth vadar. Now imagine if the entire show had this quality of writing..

Breaks canon though.

@@burn8325 Who fucking cares

@@burn8325 How?

Yeah picturing Alec Guinness flying around with the helicopter saber is hilarious 😂

"It's freakin' sick actually" had me rolling for like 10 minutes lol

That was hilarious 😂😂

"Speaking of which, I have something for you. Your father's light saber. It's a more elegant weapon, for a more civilized age. But that one's a little trash to be honest, this one is way more dope. It has two blades and spins really fast. Sometimes I twirl it around for hours, just staring at it. It's pretty sick. This is the one I used back when I was young and had luscious hair, much like yours, but it also sucks compared to the spinny one."

Yeah, that's something that's touched upon in the Vader comics I believe. Palpatine purposely kept the Inquisitors training on the down-low, so that they wouldn't become too powerful. After all, they were just throwaway lackeys that were just there to do the more expansive work, while leaving the big hitters to Vader. Palpatine didn't want them learning too much about the ways of the Dark Side, or else he might have an Inquisitor uprising on his hands. This is basically what happened to Ventress in the Clone Wars; Palpatine ordered Dooku to destroy Ventress, as she was "becoming to powerful," as Palpatine had said.

But she could tell everyone he is Anakin Skywalker...?

why did she go for Luke after?

@@alexjames2264 She could also tell the whole galaxy about a young Luke and Obi-Wan on Tatooinee now too lol. She's like a walking database of Star Wars secrets; and with that, I feel like her character was played on too closely with the legacy characters for my liking.

@@rudrank819 revenge on anakin? like he cares for a random child. he doesnt know he's his son yet

Yeah it makes Qui Gon look like a punk

The girl kinda should have died right then and there. But fucking plot kept her alive.

Fair point, they could have had Reva slowly dying from her wound. I thought maybe she'd be bleeding out as the Luke chase went on, but then I remembered light sabers would probably cauterize the wound.

Agreed. In other IPs, yes, not noticing the score is probably a good thing for most people. In Star Wars, the music has been so prominent and well done that not having it make its presence felt was a bit odd. At least it wasn't actively bad, I guess.

That's been a problem with a lot of the recent Star Wars works. Obviously no one can match John Williams, but the score was a huge part of what made Star Wars special, and the scores in the spinoff movies and Disney+ shows just aren't memorable at all.

Yes!

I’m guessing that they didn’t want to fork over the money to pay John Williams any royalties for using his music too much. Then they passed all those savings along to the VFX crew to de-age Mark Hamill back to a 10 year old kid.

I think you're totally right. I noticed they were quite indecisive in their score. Some of it was totally original whilst also having throwbacks to Williams original. I think that was the problem: they were stuck between originality and tradition, so neither really shined.

I can see that..I more just felt they made a point to have obi wan call him Darth to make older obi wan in the original calling him Darth made sense since originally it was said as if Darth was Vaders first name

There's more to it then just that. The whole reason why Anakin turned to the dark is because Qui Gon died, when he was supposed to be the one training Anakin and becoming the father figure that Obi wan could never be. Obi wan knew this,and because of this he always thought it was his fault because he thought he was never good enough, or failed Anakin because he couldn't be what Anakin needed. Him finally calling Darth Vader Darth and not Anakin is him finally accepting that he can't save Anakin anymore, and leaving the past behind to help protect the one who could save him, Luke Skywalker

That and it's consistent with Episode 4's dialogue "Only a master of evil, Darth."

@@LSB44446 that’s what my mind went to first

That and it legitimises Obi Wan telling Luke that Darth Vader killed his father. Which is true, from a certain point of view.

@@user-zu5kw6es6g I don’t know why are you bringing that up there’s nothing to do with his comment

I really hope they're done and can just stop making this garbage.

@@TerribleFire Sorry my mate they’re gonna keep going until everyone stop giving them money, or in other terms when pigs fly.

The final episode of season two is gonna have Obi-Wan standing next to the force ghost of Qui Gon while wearing a little party hat & eating an ice cream cone, with residue smeared all in his beard. He's gonna turn to Qui- Gon, and tell him that he had more fun than he could've possibly imagined. Qui Gon will nod, knowingly, and tell him "There's plenty more where that comes from" before fading away. Obi-Wan will get the same wry smile he gets before his death in A New Hope, immediately before cutting to the end credits: "Created by George Lucas."

Their first fight at the quarry had me thinking how flash blind they'd make you when your eyes are adjusted for the dark - like you're holding your flashlight backwards.

I mean to be fair, the final episode literally took place at night, with barely any light on the planet. When Anakin and Dooku fight in the dark in Ep 2 it looks the same way.

That show is exactly what they described too. A detective solving crimes with the help of a ghost. And it sort of was in the 70s (1970). I can't believe how accurate the description was xD

They even rebooted it with Bob Mortimer and Jim Moir/Vic Reeves in the lead roles

Same, so glad they didn’t!

I would have actually loved that for the memes since the show had already jumped over the shark for me personally

I literally was like “oh god is he gonna say it” lmao ngl it would’ve been hilarious

It really feels like they’re both attacking each other with plastic bats as opposed to energy based light swords. Actually no it feels like they’re fighting with toy lightsabers.

@@gimmibox lol it was for Batman V Superman Caravan of Garbage but I think Ben edited that one. They're both really great editors

Hello, there!

General Simmons!

Hum... no? Why do you need him to say that directly for it to make sense? Obi-Wan could have multiple reasons to told that to Luke, maybe he didn't want to traumatize the kid, maybe he thought Luke wound't believe the truth, or be scared by it, maybe Luke knowing this would try to contact his father instead of fighting against him and in doing that would end falling to the dark side. This line doesn't care any weight to Obi-Wan choice with Luke, it just matters for Vader and Obi-Wan. Also think about the background of Obi-Wan at that time, he was in hiding and lying about his past for 19 years straight, the way he talks to Luke and the words he uses, all of them are mostly half truths as a way to protect Luke for now, thats why he says "I don't seem to remember ever owning a droid" for R2 because yes he was not the owner of R2, R2 was property of Padme it was just borrowed to Anakin and Obi-Wan, at the same time he was trying to see what Luke was up to, he wouldn't jump immediately into adventure with this kid that he is protecting for 19 years, after he sees how the situation is dire then he proceds to explain to Luke the most important context. The writing in Star Wars is way better than people give credit for, and for this reason we are getting a barrage of mediocre to bad (with very few exception of good) "expanded universe" material.

Pls give one example of a well thought out moment. I’m serious because imo literally everything was stupid

@@wingthomaux the final duel. Reva vs Vader duel. There’s plenty of others

@@oXRaptorzXo they look good, but don’t make much sense to me. Reva wastes her entire plan and life for a stupid attack on Vader. Obi is way too overpowered in the final duel and both didn’t actually try to kill each other wich stupid

@@wingthomaux no matter how reva approached that she would’ve died. But she didn’t see it that way. She thought she would actually win. Obi isn’t overpowered. What he does (seen IN SHOW) is draw upon the true light side. The Jedi way imo isn’t the light side, because it blocks out emotion. Kenobi here draws on positive emotions like love. Vader was clearly trying to kill Kenobi. Kenobi was also trying to kill Vader, but couldn’t bring himself to do it when the time came

@@oXRaptorzXo they could atleast make her try something semi smart, but running at him screaming was just a stupid moment for me. Well, that’s the new Disney interpretation of the force. Good feelings - light side, bad feelings - dark side, but that’s not how it works in real Star Wars. The Jedi and other light side fellas go with the force, they let themselves guide by the force and this only works when you get to a clear state of mind, essentially not thinking at all, but only feeling the force and letting it flow through you. Dark siders want to control the force with brute strength, guys like Dooku still do it in a calm way, but usually they use emotions and THEIR OWN instinct. So it’s basically about letting faith control your actions or thinking what’s right by yourself and trying to force faith. ”trust in the force“ is a key message in the OT. Disney have reinvented the force like you described, they don’t understand or don’t care about Lucas’s vision and make it into a simple good guy, bad guy thing and everybody is just emotional and does what they want. Rey would never ever be considered a Jedi, she just screams around, does what she wants and forces the reality around her to do her bidding. If anything she is more sith than Jedi. For Kenobi it seemed like his love for the Skywalker kids gave him the strength to do what he did and that’s not at all in line with key Star Wars principles. It should have been about him trusting the force again, after probably feeling betrayed after everything and letting himself guide by the force, he should have been able to GET AWAY, overpowering an opponent like he did here was NEVER the ways of the Jedi or light side. Nevertheless subjectively and especially because the concept of the force like I described is no longer relevant, Obi should have tried to kill Vader, he wanted to do it on Mustafar, even thought he succeeded, and was completely convinced about Vader having to die in the OT. It shows that the writers didn’t really have a good reason to make this show other than money, there is no story to tell here, Reva is the only new thing added and they should just have given her a standalone series about inquisitors and her secret plot against Vader, but intelligent not lazy and stupid like in this show.

Damn. You beat me to it. Deleting my comment :)

I only came to the comments to see if someone had posted the name of this show as I had forgotten it. Cheers good job well done

Vic & Bob remade it in the late 90s too I think.

@@ninebangtrojan4669 aye that's the version of the show I remember vaguely from back in the day

I love that title

Completely. I was raging they didn’t put it in. Apparently he has his crystal in a bag on the toy, but it’s so stupid they fumbled the bag so hard.

Along with John Cena, John Wick, half the cast of The Avengers along with Starkiller and Jacen Solo. Would be funny to pull in Mace Windu as well so he can meet Nick Fury. Might as well since we're obviously dealing with fanfiction writing here.

I think the show is actually pretty good when you binge it It’s good anyways but binging it really helps

I love these new sabers, they have a really photographed feel where it makes sense the beam would be varying levels of blown out

I think the directors just like the free mood lighting honestly

Yeah it's weird, it almost looks a little cheap now... and it's not a big deal/there's no way around it, but you can see Hayden's non-CG lightsaber in the reflection of his helmet lol

It's because they don't add the extra CG to the sabres. I believe the sequel movies did so it wasn't as jarring. If they just added an effect so the edges aren't as defined like a solid object, it would look good.

@@ANGELOFDARKification if they were flickering more it’d look a lot better. I love the amount of light that pours out of them tho

@@Cvmpbell Same. I do think the blue lightsabre needs to be a lighter shade of blue though.

I'm an '86 baby and this fight hit everything I wanted. It felt like 10 minutes long. But ticked all my boxes and I loved it.

long lightsaber duels are super stupid I don't know why you want them when they are completely contrary to the original purpose of the original series' duels go watch some kurosawa

Thank goodness I’m not going crazy. Have the exact same feeling

The director was a terrible choice and the editing was very bad. The second episode where Reva finds Leia in the tunnels, I was like how did she not see Tala in the same tunnel?? It made no sense. Then Reva had plot armor to survive two stabbings, when one alone killed Qui Gon. It was a pointless series only created to introduce Reva, one of the worst written characters in the universe. To go from torturing Leia in one scene then to trying to fight Vader, to trying to kill Luke to bringing him home - she was worthless. It's Disney's inability to let villains be villains anymore. They ruined Boba Fett the same way. Gotta redeem everyone.

wasn't just bad star wars, this series was bad television- period.

Careful, you can’t feel like this or go against the Disney WhiteKnighters cause then you’re a “hater” and a “toxic fan”

I think to me, it just lacked heart. Like it felt passionless across the board (except in set design).

Yeah, California as well. We hates the quarter hostages - we hates them!

You're making this up.

Ah you beat me to it, they also remade it in the 2000's with Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, it's fine.

@@ShirDeutch I'm certainly not... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eLV3f8aZ2JadZZ8.html

There was a part in the duel where I said aloud, "you know there is a theme for them fighting right? You can use that." I feel Fallen Order respects the original score really well. You have a piece to help portray almost every emotion.

I know this isn't Williams' fault, since I highly doubt he's a gamer, but someone pointed out that the theme sounds like the PS4 Spider-Man theme and I couldn't unhear it.

The music was forgetful at best

I wouldn’t even tell you what the new theme is. Is it the music in the title? I wouldn’t know because it’s lame and quiet

Just imagine that the second time the lightsaber went perfectly into the hole that was left in her abdomen from the first time, and she was just faking being injured so they would leave her to die. It explains away so much that otherwise makes no sense XD

come on man, by now it’s clearly just the writers saying “dark side y’all” i can live w it.

Reva was stabbed in the side. Qui-gon was stabbed through the gut and still lived for like 10min after.

She also displeased Vader twice and was allowed to live.

George Lucas always said Dark Siders uze the force to try to preserve their mortal life as long as they can Darth Plagueis style, because they cannot become a force ghost after their death. And Force Ghosts are "more powerful than you can possibly imagine". That's why he did what he did with Maul in Clone Wars. Qui-Gon got stabbed in a similar area, but he also wasn't killed. He survived as a force ghost. Reva was a dark side user at the time and thus used everything to cling to her mortal life like Vader.

I think that’s a problem throughout Disney Star Wars- really with the exception of Mando/Grogu and Rogue One all the characters they’ve introduced (non-legacy characters) are just underdeveloped and I don’t care about them. The lack of care they put into supporting casts is pretty disappointing, especially in cases like Finn’s

@@BichaeldeAngelo honestly Finn should have had a way bigger role. But that’s what happens when there is no overarching story. Leaving the directors to throw tangents at the previous films work.

@@danny87573 Finn was totally and utterly wasted, and so was Po…honestly so was Luke, Leia and the rest of the cast if we’re being honest

That’s not a plot hole. Leia is force sensitive. Anakin literally has visions of the future, Rey touches a lightsaber and she sees real life visions of the past. Leia could have padmes face burnt into her memory through a force vision.

Good call. Plot hole or not, that was good writing.

@@willtorres7250 It's because Disney knows how to capture moments and spectacle but not much else. If you're here for the moments then you probably enjoy Kenobi a lot because it has some good ones.

I have a pre-Special Edition Star Wars Encyclopedia so I love sharing that fact!

His brother should be Ben and they can use a deepfaked alec guinness. Obi-Wan would train him as a Jedi who also beats vader and calls him darth. Then they could use Obi-Wan in new sequel material when Ewan gets old!

@@spaceghostcqc2137 That wouldn't make any sense with anything we've seen thus far.

@@billwenham yeah, I think that it’s pretty awesome that they at one point brothers and didn’t even know it. Like I said I seriously think they some what hinted at it in the episode that Obi-Wan talks about having a brother. I wonder if they didn’t want to keep it because it would be too much of a coincidence that the man that just so happens to be raising Luke is his brother. Then that would make Vader his brother by marriage, and Luke his nephew by marriage also. Like I said they probably thought that it would be too much of a coincidence but it would put a whole new dynamic to the connection between Obi-Wan, Luke, Vader, and Owen. But I feel like how the force works that the force could’ve put all of that together. But I could be tripping also 😂.

@@billwenham nope, it's a pretty out-there theory lol

that was one of the few scenes that had good music though. I don’t get fixation of Star Wars fans to just throw a prequel track on any emotional scene even if it wasn’t made or edited for it

That's my favorite ACDC song

Also imperial march when he was walking down that street snapping people necks earlier on- idk why they where so restrained with past music. I guess whoever produced the music for this one wanted to try some funky shit or wanted to show off their own songs. Like the music was decent but you cant not use the big bad music when the big bad does the bad things.

​@@BagelBoi4000 That scene was meant to portray Obi Wans intense panic and fear and the score fit that perfectly. Having Imperial March blaring would not have fit at all.

@@RobBomford I also think they wanted to wait until that last episode with Vader in his castle to have it play for the first time for full effect. Like even after that emotional confrontation with Obi-Wan, he is still fully Darth Vader.
