Part V

It's truly sad when you see the wasted potential of this show and this episode is the very reminder of that. Don't get me wrong it still has some of the big issues and you can still feel how bad some of those actors are doing but this episode is the first one that actually focuses on the most important thing which is Vader and Kenobi and their emotional conflicts. Overall, though brought down at times by the problems we already saw in the previous episodes, this episode actually felt like it was related to its source material, it was enjoyable and the best one so far.

Terrible writing and action scenes are still in evidence.

At least this showed a little better structure of the story with the cutaway scenes.

Leia is still annoying. Vader is under used and underused. Moses is is just shouty.

So far I've enjoyed the series, not loved it, each episode has been good, with some ok episodes and one or two great ones. This one was brilliant. The pacing, fighting and others was fantastic, its almost like like it was made by different people.

I don't want to spoil anything, but Darth Vader has never been more bada** than he has in this episode. Brutal, smart, cunning and everything we've hoped for. My only issue was how short it was.

I hope the final episode is just as good, better even... and please be much longer.

Did you feel similar sentiment of wall e, and toy story, where there it is. Disney should have let Andrew Stanton write the whole thing.

Should petition Stanton to write a new show "Darth Vader" where he mindlessly chops off jedis.

I love Star Wars. LOVE STAR WARS. I'm doing my best to love this, and there are elements that are incredible, but there are weak points in the writing/CGI (and some acting) that are hurting the story.

While many others have referenced that the twist was inevitable, it was also too late. This is only a 6-part show. The slow and uneven pace is hurting the positives this show has going for it, creating an emptiness and even a bit of redundancy (how many times can Leia be captured etc). Plus the fight between Reva and Vader was like watching a youngling train, with Vader barely trying, which would have been great if they weren't acting like it was an intense fight...? Just feels like the whole show is a little misguided, like maybe they could have used a few more script edits before going to film.

I want to love it. I sort of like it. I wish it was better than episodes I-III instead of right in line with them.
