Did anyone else find ep 2 almost too dark (colourwise, not content)?
Other than being set at night I didn’t notice…time for a new tv?

My tv is about a year old, so I could probably just adjust my brightness settings - I just assumed the final season GoT cinematographer was working on this.

I think it’s your TV mate, could see everything fine. That GoT episode they could have saved millions and just streamed audio.

So…..
##spoiler
Gotta say I think on the whole it was really well done. Ewen played the part of a beaten down Obi Wan really well complete with being treated like a bitch by his work supervisor who wouldn’t have dared speak to him like that if he knew who he really was……Young Leia did a good job I thought ( very obvious when she was running on the rooftops that Obi Wan would have to save her with the force )…..
I was surprised that he used a gun though ? Even as far gone as he was I would have thought he’d find it far too uncivilised. The inquisitors should make good minor villains but it seems to be building to a confrontation with DV himself ? ( I could be wrong )
Does anyone reckon he knew he was too far out of practice ( ten years ) to take on the black woman in a duel ? I suspect that was the case……
Also that old woman took losing her hand better than any previous SW character ( and there’s been a few )
Roll on episode three !!!!!!!!

Ep 3 drops today and is then in a Wednesday release cycle from then on

Yeah, watched them both, one huge question but generally enjoyed, sets could be a bit better, his cave doesn’t look anywhere near real…good story though
Loved the recap, firmly set this as continuing on the films, summed up anakins story I thought
##spoiler
They can’t have killed of the grand inquisitor, he’s the main baddie of S1 of rebels which is about 5 years after thisalso don’t know how I feel about obiwan and leia…her message from a new hope kind of implied they didn’t know each other
##endspoiler
##spoiler
Actually, I think they have been very clever in retro-fitting this. In ANH Leia's message starts with the same words Organa said to Obi-Wan when he asked him to help rescue her. Like it was a code used as identification.
Agree on the Grand Inquisitor. It would screw up existing canon big time if he was dead. Third Sister (Reva) doesn't re-appear in Rebels though.
Also this show is currently only a year after the Solo movie end so there is potential for a cameo along the way from any of Han, Chewie, Lando, Maul or Qi'ra

very good point, i can live with thatit would be one thing to be retconning the prequels....but i cant see feloni reconning his own series (rebels), grand inquisitor has to to survive
i didn;t hate the solo movie and was kind of keen to see a crimson dawn centric sequel
i'm still keen to see a shot for shot remake of obiwan v maul...wont happen but would be cool

looks about right...id have put bad batch after clone wars

Part III has definitely been the best of the episodes so far.
##spoiler
We get the dual everyone was waiting for, and Darth Vader is a bad-arse.
##endspoiler##spoiler
Son was shocked at DV just killing villagers, snapping bystanders necks. Love it

I liked the way they went for a clunky saber fight too. OWK 10 years out of practice and DV in his mechanical form.
Leia is starting to annoy though. My tolerance for mouthy kids is low.

God that leia chase scene in the forest was fucking pathetic
EDIT: In fact every time she runs, it's like old people racing. They could've at leat chosen a child actress that could fucking run!
Yep, that was eye rolling stuff. But you are going to get what you get with kid actors.
On the plus side, she nailed this scene;

Is "devistating" a new word?
I have enjoyed the banter between Obi-Wan and Leia. I am assuming they are trying to show she is a bit more mature than her age, given her upbringing, and has the attitude we see as an adult. The quality of the dialogue has never been a strong point of the Star Wars universe.

Exactly. All the movies have had shit dialogue, they are base on b-movie serials after all.
Watching more of Vader as an evil unstoppable force is worth the other stuff. And EM's acting is brilliant.
I never considered that Obi Wan didn't realise Anakin was still alive until much later. A good moment.

I thought it was a bit early to already have them lightsabre fighting!
##endspoilerI like the 3rd sister, absolute nutter!

@Machpants ##spoiler
It works because its such a contrast to the last fight, with OWK running away. I think he'll get his connection to the force stronger with his old masters help to rescue Leia, and they will have an epic final battle. I'm here for it.
