Part III

Of canceling my Disney Plus account.

Admittedly, I was still entertained by the episode and I love the potential/premise of the show in general.

The problem? It's fatally flawed in execution and has failed to capitalize on even a bit of the potential that was there.

The acting was uneven, the plot had more holes than any cheese and the directing felt scattered and underwhelming.

With the budget they had, I would have hoped they could have done this show justice.

I'm entertained, but wildly disappointed at the same time.

Every Vader and kenobi moment is great.

But I'm starting to wonder who the show is really about. Because this feels like book of Fett where everyone steals the show away...not because they are good,....nope, you are hard left pulled in elsewhere from the shows namesake by the director to lesser content.

Seems more like a Reva and Leia show...which is highly disappointing.

Both characters are ok, but not main character level. Ir at least how it's been show thus far. And they have really long strained scenes to try and justify their purpose

Reva has zero intimidating aspects and seems to revolve around an off and on force sense

3rd episode with terribly bad chase scenes

Loved the Tala character.

Pacing is odd. We have seen 3 epic and We have only 3 episodes left and we have really gone no where so far. All these meeting points and chases are so contrived with no logic at all. Like Reva suddenly force trips on a secret tunnel and suddenly suddenly can walk to the end of the tunnel from the outside and knows where it is? Or Vader can track Ben down in between hills. But he can't continue to chase Ben after a fire in the way. Even with a new hike crew of troopers.

Funniest part was when my wife asked me if this was fan made, because the main Jedi is really good at acting. Granted, she doesn't follow SW at all, but it speaks to the quality and logic in the plot and script that is not present.

Unfortunately after the pretty good first episode, the quality of the show keeps going down so far, with questionable writing which however in some scenes, does redeem itself somewhat.

I believe this show would benefit from a slower pacing with less action or tension, as much of the latter feels kinda shoehorned in.

Almost Canon-breaking concepts introduced aside, it's still a decently enjoyable episode as Ewan McGregor is still a very good actor despite the script not being of the highest quality, ironically resembling the situation in the prequel trilogy.

5,5/10.

A real bizarre episode. Exactly for the wasted huge potential. The meeting between Obi Wan and Darth Vader has all the premises and rights to be memorable. It is not. The fight scenes are a sort of sketches and the moment of capture is enveiled not only in fire but in vulgar deja vu. Like the revenge.

The presence of Darth Vader in Mapuzo is absurde, absurde engrossed by the gratuit demonstration of force against locals. And the end... .

Not only Obi Wan Kenobe seems without energy but the makers of series . Like series about Jean Luc Picard, this series seems only an improvisation. Nothing to say, nothing to demonstrate .

We've all been afraid of that tall dark lord for decades, but I don't think anyone has ever been as afraid as Obi-Wan Kenobi was at the end of the last episode. That look of fear in his eyes was a sure indicator of what was to go down between them in this week's episode. And sure enough, this week we see Obi-Wan and Leia finding themselves on a planet none of them know where they have to escape Imperial stormtroopers and Darth Vader himself. This episode delivered all the feelings that I had expected to be feeling, although it takes time to get there.

So far, this show is presenting a consistent level of entertainment. The first two episodes did a great job of setting up the story, while this episode is great at setting up the conflict. Now the chess pieces are moving, and all characters are involved in this game. The relationship blossoming between Obi-Wan, and Leia is pure and sweet, and it adds a lot more weight to Leia's plea of help to Obi-Wan during the original "Star Wars." There's a bond developing between them, a bond that gives the message a new meaning. I will say, though, the episode used a lot of time on this principle, which was fine, but also a little draining. A lot happened in this episode, but a lot of it was overshadowed to develop the characters. Again, that is normally a good thing, but it feels like it was a little too much for this episode alone. However, it all leads up to a third act that delivers on the promise of last week's episodes. They're not wasting a lot of time on the conflict between Obi-Wan and Vader and it led to a moment in this episode that was heartbreaking, yet awesome in how one-sided it was. This Obi-Wan is not fighting at 100%, and therefore he's no match for a vengeful Vader. This is not the fight that we expected, and it's also not the final fight that we're getting, I'm sure of it. This was another good episode in what's looking to be a great show.

With "Part III," this show is finally fulfilling on the promise that they set up when it was announced, and so far, it's everything I wanted. There's a lot happening in this episode and it takes away from the small moments, but it still leads up to a very satisfying moment that's just the beginning.
