​@@johnaylward2015 Picard has ruined them lol

People are most likely to join cults when they are at their most emotionally vulnerable part of their lives. It appears Star Trek: Picard brought Mike and Rich to that point.

This is so accurate

He is right.

Thing is they had like over a decade worth of actual good characterization for Maul and shown history between him and Obi Wan beyond phantom menace in the cartoons. That showdown was actually extremely tastefully done, the way they called back to the samurai stuff that inspired a lot of OT starwars and made it totally character driven. I genuinely love that showdown, some of the best Star Wars ever done. Shame Rebels didn't sustain that quality.

There were moments where it felt like Jay just didn't know what to say because he was caught in this conversation with his two friends that had clearly been off their space dementia meds and were almost unrecognizable in their own starved-for-sanity addled minds, sharing in their adjacent psychosis. It was sad, really. They're still fairly young, but they clearly need to be put into some sort of mentally deteriorated assisted living facility. It's just too much for Jay to care for them on his own.

Jay IMO seems to have a better eye for art and a bigger concern for actual directing and style of something. Obi-wan might be one of the worst directed shows I've ever seen. Stuff like the sets and CGI all are solid, the acting is fine, and even the story isn't terrible, but goddamn I've never seen directing sink a show the way it has here. The action scenes are directed as Jay says clunky and awkward. There are some cool moments in this that should end up being a lot more fun but end up looking like a cheap ass fan film because it seems to be shot by an 80 year old with palsy.

*Star Trek: Picard

@@megatom5 The choreography and action editing to me is the worst part of it all, for disney a billion dollar corporation you’d think even for a Disney plus show they’d have those things up to standard but goddamn, with things like the fight at the last episode it’s so awkward, non impactful with the saber hits and maneuvers, and you could even see beats in the choreography where they both have an open shot to stab each other but just don’t.

@@megatom5 that Leia chase scene is one of the worst chase scenes I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Like laughably bad, I couldn’t believe that flew by a bunch of exec at a billion dollar company. I would disagree on the writing to a certain degree. The writing is pretty bad, but that’s because the show is structured like a feature length movie. Ep 1 feels like Act 1, the last ep feels like Act 3. Everything else in between is filler, legit eps 2-5 are the exact same. Obi goes to planet, he gets chased by inquisitors, he escapes, reva gets bashed for failing. And also it’s just weird this is the story they decided to tell for a obi wan Kenobi show, him helping Leia get home instead of something I don’t, more focused on Obi and Vader and the past you know, not this rescue mission.

@@thesexyshark1646 I think the writing is abysmal without regards to structure. Just what occurs and how characters act and react is impossibly stupid, the trenchcoat scene is the epitome of the shite-tower. Every character is 'selectively dumb' when the writers want them to be, Leia is apparently a savant at cold-reading/ employing force powers willy-nilly. A 10 year old does not outrun 3 grown adults in a relatively open forest, let alone three adults prepared for the child and seeking to capture her. Reva's entire character is Kylo 2.0 "she's angry", multiple people survive impaling with a PLASMA SWORD that emits enough heat to melt blast doors. Trash writing, with no understanding or appreciation of the lore, that actively makes the characters less capable simply because the writers are not interested in cohesive story, they just want to hit certain beats and move it down the production line.

I've said it for years disney just got really good at convincing people where the bar should be. Its just easier for them that way and they have been doing it for longer than you would think.

Are we sure you are okay? Did you ever hear about the original trilogy? It was cheap by comparison and the action was slow and awkward by comparison. But it still has far more charm. That is obviously the point they are making

@@bilbobaggins9451 the same way mandalorian was credited for returning to the style of the OT. It has to do with filming everything on set pretty much, and not relying so heavily on CGI which made the prequels into a childish shit show, and sequels and Rogue One into a clusterfuck of rushed crap being thrown on the screen in a desperate attempt to create anything of substance (Rise of Skywalker being so rushed in the pacing its a prime example of how not to do world building. You have to give the world and lore a chance to breathe)

@@bilbobaggins9451 dude after seeing the lava fight on mustafar I wanted to rip my eyes out. That childish cgi video game bullshit is so pathetic. Obi Wan get major props for SIMPLIFYING, thats the key right there. Just build real sets and make simple scenes, its astonishing how much better it automatically becomes by just following these simple rules. Does every stage look perfect? Of course not. But by God the relief of something simple in this world after the cgi fuckfest that was prequels and sequels, its like I could finally take a dump after a week of constipation, thats how I would describe it.

@@bilbobaggins9451 what exactly do you mean by stagecraft? The sets in Obi Wan were rather inspired by the original trilogy I would say.

Fair point. But dont forget that between Episodes 3 and 4 the Emperor and Imperials power is growing. In Ep 4 you hear that the Emperor has dissolved the council permanently.

isn't this show something like 200 million dollars?

Yeah exactly. I feel like the Mike/Rich Trek reviews are full of the "correct" response because they are heavily invested in Trek, and we're watching that crumble in real time. But their investment in Star Wars died a long time ago, and so they're just shrugging. I wish this breakdown was more along the lines of their recent Trek work. They don't even remember enough Star Wars lore to point out the large holes in the Kenobi plot. With Picard, they'd point out things that broke Trek lore in perfect deadpan, but with this, it's just all a big meh. And that's fair, I can't demand that they re-invest to break it down like they do Trek, but I was hoping for a little more of that in this review.

@@nhagan001 - There is like 25 million dollars per episode.

@@broco1163 - Yeah, they clearly don't care about Star Wars enough to make a serious critique, I feel like Jay tried to bring up technical aspects but Rich and Mike kept shuting him down while valuing the cheap nature of the show. I always found kind of hypocritical how Mike and Rich get to be massive Star Trek nerds and memorize thousands of episodes yet dismiss any lore or continuity detail from Star Wars. Granted, they are clearly bigger fans of Star Trek and they are not obliged to have the same dedication for Star Wars, but it bugs me how sometimes they have these ideas for how Star Wars could be better not knowing those ideas have been executed a long time ago in better Star Wars media they are not willing to look into. Their need for Obi Wan to gain a consistent and interesting personality was done years ago in TCW, making him a responsible paternal figure with a charmingly sassy attitude, theyveven had him having his own romantic subplot; back in then they didn't need to recycle the Old-Man formula to make something interesting. They also keep making fun of Darth Maul yet they do not know how he's practically an entire different character in the animated shows, they even had a Samurai style battle (similar to their requests as for how a lightsaber duel should be) as his final confrontation with Obi Wan, in a moment with a level of tension and dept the Obi Wan show can only dream of.

@@Jean-Paul-Lane-Valley Oh jesus christ! There is no excuse for that!

Yeah I thought the same. He was just gonna surrender to three stormtroopers when he has a lightsaber and can literally control minds with suggestion. They couldn’t afford an AT-ST at least ?

I will say there is an aspect to the show that Obi-wan's powers are coming back to him more and more with each episode, so I dunno if that is supposed to be part of that or not, but I noticed it too.

Ha I was looking for this comment. Yeah, it was actually a really good scene.

It's fine. It's basically just a congratulatory little thing for Star Wars fans who spent far too long watching the Qui-Gon vs Maul duel and committed its choreography to memory. As for what it actually adds to the characters? Well, it's a big fat nothing. Thankfully the "duel" is over in less than two seconds.

Darth Maul's entire arc throughout Clone Wars and his smaller part in Rebels is unironically actually some of the best Star Wars content that's ever been done. The Clone Wars series finale was extremely good - though I would skip Rebels and just watch the brief character moments from Obi-wan and Maul to Darth Vader and Ahsoka.

@@mphylo2296 It adds a lot for both characters actually. For Kenobi his commitment to being a Jedi and comforting the man who killed everything he loved twice. For Maul the ending of his arc and the death of his character.

OT Vader will always be great

It was a good line but one wonders why, if that's the case, Vader didn't force-crush the planet after Luke destroyed the Death Star

​@Danderson-pr4vj My takeaway from that line was that the power of the Force is the power to control the minds of people, which is ultimately far more important for a ruler than blunt instruments of violence. The Death Star can kill as a means to an end, terrorizing the populace into passivity, but that's just a roundabout means of reaching the same goal. The Empire as presented in the original film seemed to have to rely on things like that specifically because it didn't have enough people like Vader using the power of "ancient religions", and that was what he was telling the military off for.

SO TRUE

Huh? Parts of it ARE decent, it's an uneven mixed-quality show.

There actually are some decent bits though. For instance, the first episode showing Obiwan working on that meat line was pretty cool and him stealing bits of meat for his mount was endearing.

Mike and Rich already shared this attitude about Star Wars before _Picard_ though. The dynamic between their three opinions was exactly the same in their _Solo_ review. Mike and Rich thought it was “super okay” as just a small-scale adventure in the SW universe while Jay wasn’t as hot on it.

If you watch the Solo half in the bag, Rich and Mike were already slipping to the dark side

Jay has no sentimentality for anything other than body horror sex pervert movies and so the only thing he can be ruined by nostalgia on is, like, a David Lynch snuff film.

I'm glad one of my favorite book series had a very bad movie version already made. it's got the stink of box-office failure to keep it safe.

Go on, speak their names. I'm interested now

They gave the franchise treatment to Evil Dead but the show actually turned out pretty fun. I think the issue is that Disney thinks it can't have fun, like they're trying to make a series of Wikipedia entries instead of entertainment.

@@dominicroe2261 - Nice try, Hollywood.

@@punishedbarca761 - For every Evil Dead or Fury road there's a dozen Rise Of Skywalker's and Jurassic World III's. It can still happen but I prefer to keep expectations rock bottom and be pleasantly surprised.

Absolutely this 💯.

Mike and Rich seem to be reaching and mainly focusing on the fact it looks ridiculous and cheap like parts of the OT did. But it's way past the point where the show needs to look cheap. There's a difference between over the top action and completely goofy execution and terrible effects. I completely agree with Jay. The opening scene made me laugh hysterically. But I also admit I don't like Star Wars so I just stopped watching it, it's not for me and that's fine and people are free to enjoy it.

I don't think rich is a fan of anything besides the OT. I don't really care about rlms opinion on star wars AFTER the prequel content (episode 7 and on.. I shit you not I forgot it's name. Never thought that would happen with star wars)

"Humongous" Star Wars fans but they never heard of people being frozen in Carbonite? CMON!! It was in Empire Strikes back and even in the Mandalorian ffs!

@@glOckcOma but that amber stuff is not carbonite.

To be fair, Mike always seems to be the one who liked the things most people hate.

Same. Jay is the only one who made sense in this review. You can't sit there after watching the fucking trenchcoat scene in episode 4 and say Kenobi has a passing grade. They don't genuinely like Kenobi. They probably just like it ironically because it's memeworthy levels of bad, and that's probably okay? I would still rather have a good show than an ironically-likeable bad show.

They're comparing it to two things: Star Trek Picard and the Prequels, two things they have been traumatized by. They acknowledged that the show looks cheap and is genuinely bad, they just didn't care since in their minds they're thinking 'at least it was better than Picard/Prequels.' Funny enough, Kenobi made me like Stranger Things again, because the acting, writing, and cinematography of that show's season 4 was a night and day difference compared to D+ shows like Kenobi, Boba Fett, or Moonknight.

@@AmericanZergling I feel profoundly bad for Deborah Chow, I've said this in a few comment sections but I don't think she was the right person to helm this project, and frankly I get the sense she may have felt that way too. This show famously struggled to pin a director, and if you look at Chow's work she's not really had a big hit and her only very notable work was on the Mandalorian- where most of the directors were completely hand held by Filoni (Taika Waititi directed one of the episodes and it literally had NONE of his flair or vision as a director). On top of that, there's articles of her saying she didn't have much investment in Star Wars prior to working on the Mandalorian, and for this project had to go to Filoni to get answers to lore questions (who is working on multiple other projects)... so, she clearly didn't have someone super familiar with the lore on her writing staff is the implication I take away from that. So with that context, we have a fairly fresh faced director trying to direct one of the most anticipated projects by a fanbase for a canon she's only just starting to truly develop a passion for, so with that I really don't blame her for putting out a rather mediocre show with frustrating elements, I truly believe the cards were stacked against her and with everything considered did a fantastic job at least making a show with sub texts and not a complete trainwreck like Picard. Does that mean I like Kenobi? Oh god no, the first 2 episodes made my skin crawl with how painful story elements were like young Leia and the Inquisitors feeling more like Monty Phython skit rather than intimidating villains (I did love how corny the Inquisitor's subtextual analysis of the Jedi archetype in the very first scene, I call it corny due to the acting/dialogue but it's a genuinely excellent bit of writing as it contextualises Obi-Wan's struggle within the episode), and how the Reva was treated like a joke by the other characters -I thought the actress was a great, bold choice to focus it on a new character, I just wish they had given her a more compelling character who was perceived as badass within the show, like Asajj Ventress.

@@Dyljim Fair enough with the director. I can believe the idea that she wasn't much of a Star Wars fan but also wasn't going to refuse an opportunity from Disney. Focusing on other characters wasn't my problem with Reva, it was that I could predict most of her story from the get-go. She was the youngling from the opening, she was ambitious, would rise to the top to replace the head inquisitor, and would likely be left open for another show of her own. The only twist I liked was that they kept the Inquisitor alive, which I guess I could've predicted if I ever cared to watch Rebels. What really bothered me in this show was how they treat the Empire. First, Stormtroopers have somehow become even less threatening than Battledroids. I don't know how or why they did it, but they did. Instead of addressing the joke that Stormtroopers are bad shots or have ineffective armor, Lucasfilm just decided to double down on it. Second, when the spy officer said to address her as 'sir' was pretty cringe. Does anyone at Lucasfilm know anybody in the military. Even (especially) an admin could tell you that female officers are called 'ma'am'. They beat this into you at bootcamp and it's annoying whenever Hollywood thinks that somehow calling a woman 'sir' is empowering or something. Finally, formations. Formation warfare stopped being effective in the American Civil War. When fighting with automatic weapons the best approach is to utilize smaller, tactical squads and room control. So when Stormtroopers are standing rank in file in a battle scene it just looks retarded. That's my rant. Other than that I agree with Jay, the show just looks and feels cheap and bad.

Please remember that Mike unironically defended movies like Battleship. He loves garbage, and that's okay.

It's also about family, and that's what's so powerful about it.

It’s all so tiresome.

SO powerful.

I feel like the jedi robe thing has come full circle and they've cornered the costume department to make Obi-Wan look like Obi-Wan but not in Jedi robes but suitable for Tattooine. It's a trap.

Yeah, figured Obi-Wan originally dressed like that was because he was a hermit with no money, not that it was his uniform.

So true 😅

"Me personally, I really liked this episode!

Especially @7:22

VERY COOL!

Dude.....so accurate.

I think the post traumatic stress of Picard season 2 is what caused this strange, aberrant behavior

Just goes to show they managed to make 25 million look as cheap as a Telenovela with a worse story and execution.

hollywood is a scam.

Must be going to the actors

At this point the writing in teresa was better lmao its an early 2000s mexican novela

Thats the entire philosophy of Nietzsche

*cue John Mellencamp 🎶 Ain't that America, something to see baby 🎶

I like RLM, but IMO they sometimes get a bit too cynical about new stuff. Like, the original movies were great, but at the end of the day, Star Wars, Marvel, DC, and others are just popcorn flicks. There can be recurring themes and small character building moments, but none of them are gonna win tons of awards. So when new content isn't the second coming of Christ, you don't need to be mad or upset about it, and you can even enjoy it anyway. And I think after seeing how bad it can be, Mike and Rich have taken a more measured and optimistic approach to media that I think is much healther.

@@philbattiste9649 I like Mike and Rich’s arc. they’re definitely becoming more chill and less overly cynical. like sometimes people can be such cynics that it’s sad and almost toxic. A review should point out the positives as well as the negatives to something, and i’ve found that often youtube reviews enjoy being just overly hateful for the sake of being overly hateful as it’s what their audience expects from them

@@philbattiste9649 But the original Star Wars were groundbreaking. I assume you weren’t around in the 70s but equating the original trilogy to marvel is a bit of a reach.
