Destiny

Embarrassingly bad and it disrespects the essence of what Star Wars is. I'm generally not hard to please and have loved many Disney Star Wars shows and movies that others have not. (Ahsoka, Solo, Book of Boba Fett to name a few that I enjoyed) However this is disgustingly bad and feels more like a fan fic. The fact this show has the highest budget of any Star Wars project is astonishing because it completely falls flat. The dialogue is bad, even for Star Wars standards, and the acting does it no favors. The only saving grace of this show is Master Sol and his terrific actor. He is the only interesting character that holds any ounce of my attention at any given moment.

There is so much wrong with this series but this episode is by far the worst of the lot. The Jedi are weak and pathetic, the twins aren't twins, the dialogue is horrible, the story makes no sense. How does Torbin go from being a Padawan to a master in six years? (He took the Barash vow and stopped speaking ten years before the present and he was supposedly a Master, and episode 3 took place 16 years before present where he was a Padawan). Is Sol so weak that he can't force catch both the girls? 4 Jedi let a force user punk Torbin and just watch and then act like nothing happened. How does Disney keep spending millions on garbage like this?

First off, I just want to say I am tired of defending the new star wars shows. I get that both boba fett & obi wan were tough watches for some people but the mandolorian and Andor were some of the best star wars i've seen in a good bit.

This on the other hand, this is tough to watch. I was okay with the first two episodes but this episode literally made me say outloud "What the heck is happening?" to which by the end of the episode I felt like I just wasted my time watching something Star Wars. Even just the thought of wasting my time on something in the star wars universe makes me extremely sad to think about. I absolutely love the world George Lucas made and I know that some shows and movies that have come out have been divisive and a let down but this show is on a complete other level. I feel that Kathleen Kennedy and here team are taking what was good about the universe (both canon and non canon alike) and destroying it. Disney is giving you basically unlimited amounts of money to make something great but you instead took what seems like a screenplay from some 10 year olds star wars fan fiction and made it into reality. I'm just tired, sad and upset at the way she and her team is handling this. There is so much good non-canon storytelling out there, stop trying to recreate the wheel and give the fans what they want.

I am going to try to give this show the benefit of the doubt but my expectations for the rest of this series has dropped to zero.

This episode advances/exposits the plot about as much as a few lines of dialogue would've. It fills in a few holes/questions from the previous two episodes, but we really didn't need *all* of the "Jedi come and find the sisters" story onscreen. Perhaps if the dialogue were especially interesting, or the characters interacted in an interesting way, then, yeah, sure, go ahead and give us an entire rundown of that day's events, but no, the characters haven't progressed much further that Mae (bad seed) and Osha (neutral seed). And once again, despite having Carrie Anne Moss there onscreen, she's underutilized.

This felt like the most un-Star Wars product released since Disney took over. Super bland characters, extremely predictable script, and poorly written dialogue. I don't have time to really go into the issues with this series' concept of the witches and the way this ridicules the importance of Anakin's genesis. Yes, magic exists in the Star Wars universe, no, it shouldn't look like this with only one Dathomirian and active force wielders who can impregnate people. This was such a special opportunity to create an epic story in a rare time period yet it feels like the director didn't even want to create a Star Wars show.
