Destiny

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.

Unironically one of the worst things I've ever had the misfortune of sitting through. People complain about the sequels, but this is an entirely different level. At least the sequels have enjoyable scenes, likeable characters, and aren't pure nonsense. This is just pure nonsense. It feels like it was pulled off a 12 year old's Tumblr fan-fiction.

When the witches start singing together I almost shut it off. It was so cringey that I actually felt regret, Real regret. Like why did I waste my time watching this? I could have been washing dishes. I could have been shaving, How did I get to this low of a point in my life that I sat through this?

Through the years I've been the biggest Star Wars supporter. Almost to the point where I would go out of my way to find the good in everything they release. To be quite frank, I just sounded dumb. I try my best to make sense of The Rise of Skywalker. I'm that kind of Star Wars fan. But I think this might be the episode that has finally done it for me. I think I'm done. I've watched a lot of bad Star Wars and it seems to be getting worse yearly but this might be the worst that I've ever seen. I've tried my best in my head to make sense of it, but sometimes the answer is that it just absolutely sucks. We've reached the point where they don't even try to hide, their agendas. I hate being the person to say this, I really really hate it but it's obvious. When I look back into the past, I will remember this episode as the reason I have stopped watching Star Wars. I'm one person and it doesn't matter what I say, but I'm just expressing my feelings here in this review. I've officially lost faith in them. I am done giving any of my time and money to new stuff. Time and time again they have disappointed me. It's obvious they don't care about their fan base and are content catering to a small group of blue haired individuals. Well.... I hope it was worth it because your product is dying... heck it's on life support. Time to execute order 66 on the shows creator and Lucas film president. Wow this was just a horrible 40 minutes that I'll never get back. I feel dirty hating it this much but it's just that bad.

I'll keep it short as the other reviews have done a good job on iterating through all of the awful things going on with this show.

But ultimately, it's just boring... there's so much they could have done with such a fun IP, but they're just writing such... meh... shows

Everything feels so forced, it's like the actors are stressing so hard to get their big break from a Star Wars show that so much just feels so unnatural.

Episode 1 and 2 felt like we were off to a good start, but this just feels like filler. I'm hoping the series can turn itself around since right now it feels like it's completely nosedived and it's going to be hard to try to carry on watching.
