At least that means there's something salvageable from it.

It's hard to make it any worse.

I think there is good ideas exist in that show but they are more logical mistakes than good ideas and this kills entire serie.

This video already looks bad, don't want to imagine how bad it looks in the real scene, they really fuck up every star wars movie and series

Yeahhhhh sure it is

I think "terrible" is a bit heavy handed.

@@BaronSupremacy I think it's spot on. I lost interest after every episode, to the point I spent days or weeks between getting around to watching the next. It was just that uncompelling.

@@Espartanica I will say I think that’s because we know the fate of all of these characters. Obi wan, Vader, Leia, Luke - there’s nothing really on the line for the characters we deeply care about. The other characters didn’t give us much to care about and a reason to want to see what happens for them because we know we don’t see them later on. That makes it incredibly difficult to create something compelling.

@@BaronSupremacy Star Wars is literally built on a foundation of prequels. Episodes 1-3 came before 4-6, and Clone Wars is a fan favorite despite taking place between 2 and 3. Pretty much all Star Wars shows take place between events of the movies.

I also just didn’t care about the characters at all that lady who died in this scene I don’t even know who the hell she is and we’re supposed to cry from her death after we saw her for 2 episodes.

Watch the opening scene to New Hope

Fuck let’s just watch A New Hope. It’s explained that the stormtrooper’s miss Luke and the gang on purpose because they would show the Empire where the rebel base is if they escape. Honestly very impressive how many times they miss considering their trying too. So much so they’ve convinced people for years they can’t shoot at all.

And even if you still believe stormtroopers are bad shots, why would Disney make the empire so cartoonishly evil and Incompetent but in the same breath their trying to make us care about how bad news the Empire is? It seems self defeating and very contradicting.

For real. They have made them a huge punching bag and joke across a number of their productions for years and years now. I know there is an explanation for the poor aim on the deathstar, but I don't mind a few relatively subtle jabs written into things concerning that. Just keep it subtle and not frequent. I didn't mind the scout troopers during the season 1 finale of Mandalorian. That was done relatively well...though I do wish 1 had sucky aim and the other actually hit their target. But it isn't outright saying stormtroopers have bad aim. It was just two guys that normally patrol on speeder bikes that can't hit something at range with their holdout blaster pistol. But I wish they would stop making it an actual thing. Especially when we get the scenes like the TV shows where you have swarms of bad guys that can't even shoot the good guys who are clumped up like fish in a barrel. Atleast with the Mandalorian and Boba Fett they will show the stormtroopers actually hitting something with some regularity. But then all they can ever hit are the areas specifically covered by armor to the point of ridiculousness.

@@kennygraham4067 Hey I whole hardly agree as with you said about the scout troopers. I think the reason the scene works so well was because it it was obvious that it was being played off as a joke and that those troopers were shown to be incompetent compared to the storm troopers in the same episode that we’re an actual threat.

I've tried my best to make it as believable as possible. I'm amazed that one rebel dying in this first sequence is a dude getting shot point blank. Looks so silly, I've threw out all this rumble that happened there next to the computers.

Agree

If they were pros, they knew. They're just underpaid amateurs. And it's primarily the directors' fault.

Feels like editors just took it with grain of salt and then finished off the scraps, call if a wrap. instead of actually inspecting scenes. I mean not everything is or will be a good success, George Lucas is also getting on in his years (no secret), that may have something to do with it. Still doing great overall considering. Darth Vader Scene least for me was probably the Highlight of 2022, everything about that scene was so clever and so well done. that was absolutely BRILLIANT, gives me shivers even now.

Well she could've thrown the grenade before so doesn't really make sense

That's what I thought to myself as well. We get that shaky cam in the very first scene, during a Jedi training, clones enter the room and the camera goes nuts. I saw this and was like "oh, not good". There is so much money and planning involved with SW projects and stuff like this makes it look just unprofessional and cheap. I just don't get it, it's disappointing.

@@spikul Yes, EXACTLY!! The moment I saw that scene, I almost immediately was let down by just how shaky it all was. I enjoyed the actual scene itself, but man those shaky cams nearly ruined it for me just like how all the other fights felt almost ruined by them too, including the big final fight. There was just so much sweet action and beautiful choreography, all almost entirely wasted by the intense shakiness of their filming. Ughhh >:(

@@Vandicoup I thought the backlash of late Bourne movies and Taken sequels left it's mark in the movie industry and people will stay away from over cutting and shaky cams that are suppose to add tension but they do the very opposite.

​@@spikul Indeed. It really does have the exact opposite effect and ends up making many people feel dizzy and nauseous, even, from what I've heard from other comments! Also, I just saw this one comment underneath another similar Kenobi edit that mentioned how the shaky cam was actually digitally added in post, apparently?? I asked him exactly how he knew this, waiting for a response from him at the moment, but yeah. Do you think so as well? That's insane if that's the case. I'd love them to release the original, unaltered version at some point on Disney+, just like how we never got the original, unaltered version of any of the OT movies on home video, lol. They could do it like how they have one of the many "versions" that they offer on Disney+, just like how they offer different versions of their movies, like Doctor Strange 2 in like IMAX, Letterbox and such, if you've noticed that lil' feature over there, hehe. I think it'd be cool if they offered a "non-shaky cam" version for content like the Kenobi series too lol.

​@@Vandicoup I can see some of these shots getting shaky cam added in the post to link them to a shot before or after. I think a lot of shots are just shot with nartural cam shake and you can see that because of the way things blur out really. There is proper paralax happening in the wider shots, lights blur in a proper way. Hard to explain really but since I've done my fair share of shaky cam in post I think I'm able to tell apart the digital way and just a camera man doing their thing. Plus from what I see the're pushing hard on capturing as much stuff as possible in camera, even lightsabers actually glow nowadays on set, so I assume it was a choice to go with shaky cam on set so they'll get an authentic looking shot. I highly doubt they'll release any other version soon and definetelly not a "shaky cam free" one. Idk what they filmed it with but movies that are shown in IMAX formats are shot to be shown in IMAX theathers, Kenobi is a 6hr series set to release on D+, plus they did some screenings here and there on conventions and such but those versions does not look any different. I think we're left with what we got.

Motherf"cr thought spinning would be a good trick

The only guy actually making sense in the scene. Aggressively pushing forward knowing it would be harder to dodge his blasts at such close range

oooo fan edit? sounds interesting. Are you turning the show into one film or just editing each episode? Im curious to know because I love fan edits.

@@MrMoleHole I turned the show into a movie. It’s been out on my Discord server for a few months now.

@@DewitNow That sounds really cool 😎 this show def needed to be a movie when you think about it

The show is good I personally like it

In the actual show, there’s a minute where the stormtroopers gather in the room and stand a few feet away from the defending rebels. There is a wide shot showing that everyone is missing each other at point blank range, with no cover either.

There's a lot of shit in this show that makes no sense at all.
