Review of Kenobi Show on Mickey+. PT1

Episode 1 8.5/10

If you haven’t watched all six episodes by now then go here & enjoy streaming. After that down below is spoiler free content.

Pros:
Ewan McGregor, Rubert Friend & Joel Edgerton. This opening a.k.a pilot episode is a fantasticoo start to the series when remove some of the bad parts like darth tantrum inquisitor messing around in the town & few others that is written below. Its well-paced (second one not so much) & gives semi well created sceneries in the planet that’s most known in this galaxy. Torn up strong & wise Jedi who isn’t much of a Jedi at this stage is working on some carcass ripping yard. Staying low to not get into Empire’s radar. Beautiful execution when these daily life steps are repeated few times.

Cons:
Reva comes across as an unnecessary “insert” a side character with paper thin development shoved further onto centre stage than is merited. Already on this pilot episode some scenes would’ve had more impact without her Darth Tantrum attitude messing up things. She scarcely has any depth like Ventress, Melisandre & even Serleena from MIB2 to name few. She’s a plank character just like Rey ‘Mary Sue’ Palpatine from 80% horrid Sequel Trilogy. Her attempt of showing threat doesn’t go far & on this opening episode it felt cringey & forced. Obi should’ve had more empathy with reply to lost young Jedi named ‘Nari‘ when asked for guidance. Obi offers no help other than to run & hide. Shame on ya.. Even he was avoiding Force connection to stay out of Dark Side’s touch, he should’ve helped Nari.

The chase scene where adults are clumsier than semi toddler is a disgrace telly work on this show that’s meant to set into rough era in the Galaxy. Short, but effective fix by Zebra3Girl is gold. On the one what we got, how can they trip over obstacles that are no problemo for youngling & why didn’t these bh’s have stun gun for contracts like this. Yes it can be used to younglings. I bet that Joby was the one who wrote this & unintentionally it comes as laughter scene. All it needs is cartoon ost ^^ Lets not forget the silly fact of treating sandy planet as joke no matter what universe it’s in. Obi-Wan went to dig up his Lightsabe presumably after 10 years. It was just Half meter or so under the sand surface 🙃 Most likely written by Joby or there’s another dumbo with same profession on that crew who don’t deserve to work with adult series. Those people forget that Tatooine’s constant sandstorms would’ve buried it wayy below the surface after a decade 💨🤔

Obi-Wan Kenobi ponders the next move on a remote good ol Tatooine.

Episode 2 7/10

Pros:
Ewan McGregor & Kumail Nanjiani. This gets lil bigger score than it should cause of well built background and props for the city in Planet Daiyu where Obi-Wan moves around. Planet that’s introduced for the first time. It brings me joy cause of more in depth sw & cp feels. Multicultural life in sw galaxy far away is always great to see & let eyes feast on it. Kumail is one of the highlights & he delivers bag of goodies as usual.

Cons:
Plot Armored semi pointless character thinks of takedown plan & again speaks alone behind the back of person who just gave orders in front of her. It showed that Reva is slightly whacko. Grand Inquisitor that i liked right after his first scene at EP01 got removed cause of dumb reasons.. 😦 GI would’ve seen that betrayal coming & prepare for it if written properly. Sadly Mickey Corporation’s crew for Kenobi came with bad excuse to sideline him so Missy Darth Tantrum a.k.a plot armored character can take the center stage from all Inquisitors 😦 Yes, at the end of the S01E06 (season finale if we get S02) it’s clear that Inquisitors could’ve been shown better way if done with passion. Instead we got identity politics shoved into our eyes 🤯

Grand Inquisitor showed his strength already at ep01 when was able to stop lightsaber strike with the ‘Force’. I would love all episodes 100x more if Grand Inquisitor had been part of them & it would increase rewatch value big time. EP02 has bad pacing at midway. Reva’s weird parkour scene is slow, bonkers & unnecessary. That’s also where bad pacing comes into picture. It’s a copy of introductory scene in the first “Matrix” where Trinity does same. Not much else bad to say about this mostly beautiful episode that’s set into nice scenery.

Talented & great on stage person Temuera Morrison played abandoned Clone Trooper.

Episode 3 7.5/10

Pros:
Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christensen & Indira Varma. Leia & Obi traveling at back of hovering work transport vehicle has good moments like when Obi tells Leia that wish he would be her father. Nice acting by Ewan & Vivien. Loader droid holding the wrench (or hammer, don’t recall now), while enemy troopers inside is genius addition ❤ Also those many markings on wall left by jedis & other people of high value. I like them even half dumb to add into building that’s deep in zone controlled by enemy faction. Vader’s throne room in the wide shot, actually resembles his mask. Pretty nice detail added by someone ✍️

Cons:
Few Stormtroopers ask a ride from the driver to their outpost. They hop in to back of the vehicle where Obi & Leia are sitting. Obi & Leia survive the background questions. They replied to Obi-Wan that they have long way to go, but just about minute later they stop cause of the Empire outpost is nearby.. 😀 Better way would’ve been to let them go all the way to sec checkpoint where Obi had a blaster fight. There to use his Lightsaber for the first time on Kenobi show. Then force pull that Stormtrooper who he shot with blaster on the version that we got. He felt down to lazeer gate & was split in half.

So yeah bodies cut in half & limbs being cut means that Star Wars definitely not meant ‘only‘ for kids as still many weird people say. Darth Vader making illogical civ kills on his way towards the tunnel building. No that wasn’t logical way to pull Jedi (Obi-Wan) into the open even knowing what GI said at EP01. That first arrival of Darth Vader on the show would’ve been BUENO moment to use some golden Legacy OST. Didn’t happen 😦 How did Tala get out of the tunnel system without passing Reva? How did Reva get to the end of the tunnel to meet Leia without passing Leia who was already in the tunnel & on her way to the end? How did the loader droid know to suddenly leave the scrap shop and go save Kenobi? Dumb refugees & Jedis for writing recognisable things to walls at building that leads to tunnel. It’s set in Empire controlled planet. Small fire stopped Vader & didn’t clear it at second time. Maybe Vader ran out of Force energy level so soon 😮

Obi-Wan’s first encounter with Darth Vader after disconnected from the ‘Force’ for ten years.

Two weeks of Crazy cool DC Telly time.

^^ For this & next week since foreveer when comes to beautiful DC Comics shown at Telly in Live act. format. Specif. means that three on same week ❤ DC’s Stargirl had Season two premiere ep. yesterday & new season one ep. for Superman & Lois as well. DC’s Titans S03 premiere ep. comes tomorrow Aug 12th. Not long to go when S&L goes to break & gets ready to prod. S02. Lil sad face in mid of these great times cause of knowing that first three eps. of DC’s Titans drop on premiere day :/ Personally wanted to see whole season to arrive ep. per week cause then season would ‘last longer‘. That way to have couple more weekdays when looking for the evening with good munchies & new ep. Gotta go with this scheduling that suits chose to use & no complaints cause it got third season. Soon to send DC’s Titans fourth season request email to Hbo Max & WB at least three times a month until it’s confirmed. Hope that we see my fav. crossover wish that’s Stargirl – S&L 🎉 If not this then DC’s Titans to do second with Doom Patrol. If only Stephen Amell’s Green Arrow would still be around & to have many scenes together with Stargirl & S&L crew. Sadly that fine series had crappy characters brought in when ‘New Team Arrow‘ members arrived & few seasons later writers did wrong to Oliver Queen’s storyline.

S.Amell did gent’s move on two comic-con events when he gave the bow to young fan who was a cancer survivor. I wish good luck & happy times on his new Heels series 🖖 Second hope is that AT&T / WB would buy Stargirl completely to their HBO Max & HBO Nordic streaming platform. Yeah HBO Nordic is gonna merge with H.Max. Hope it happens soon cause it’s supposed to by Q4 this year. That’s based on announcement early this year. Everyone enjoy this DC Content during Q4 this year & remember to keep sub active on Hbo Max & Hbo Nordic (Nordic for Scandinavian fans) & share good word about DC’s Telly series 👏 HBO Streaming library is available also on some other continents with other name like HBO Go. I have HBO Nordic & happy to keep sub without axing it 🙇‍♂️ Watching content with relaxed pace & happy to know that merge is gonna happen when time is ready. HBO Max is going global sooner than later & that’s good cause then there’s less hassle with diff. names. I think whole Europe has it by Q1 next year.

Bit of background for week’s fine series:

DC’s Titans S03 tease image

DC’s Titans: Third season prem. ep. arrives 12.8 at Hbo Max ❤ When i first heard the theme song for this beauty series i was dazed into good feels state. Following since second day of pilot ep. arrived. DC Comics’ younger superheroes & vigilantes have so far shined through across slightly uneven, but entertaining two seasons. Robin (Brenton Thwaites), Rachel Roth (Teagan Croft), Wonder Girl (Conor Leslie), Starfire (Anna Diop), Beast Boy (Ryan Potter), Jason Todd (Curran Walters) & Superboy (Joshua Orpin) are main characters adventures so far. Not to forget Dove & Hank played by Minka Kelly & Alan Richardson. S01E09 that’s about their story is one of my fav. eps. so far. DC’s Titans is a darkly toned show where our heroes’ morals are often compromised & their talks at times aren’t something you should hear at elem.school.

They come out while bones endurance is put to test & blood is splattered. First season is kinda best of the two as we meet the main players, learn their back stories and follow an intriguing mystery involving Rachel. Though in my view season two has it’s beautiful highlights & storytelling that keep you tightly seated. Thwaites is the show’s anchor – & the closest thing the group has to a leader. On the journeys his murky decision making is influenced by a troubled past. DC’s Titans is more like Arrow than shows like The Flash or Black Lightning the fine series that should’ve been more grittier & get renewal to fourth season. Big dream with DC’s Titans is to have Swamp Thing saved by HBO Max or Amazon Prime Video & then crossover eps. 🤞 Hope that people keep sending email about it to both of them. Watch Swamp Thing here & take a look at important petitons page with other useful info 👌

DC’s Stargirl


DC’s Stargirl: Cause of the ‘Crisis on Infinite Earths‘ crossover, it’s known that Stargirl takes place on Earth-2 in the DC live-action multiverse – World that was destroyed in the final season of Arrow & reborn on new form in the last chapter of Crisis. You don’t need to know any of that backstory to enjoy the Stargirl premiere, but still i recommend to watch Arrow series with relaxed pace & enjoy the stories ❤ Courtney Whitmore ‘Stargirl‘ is played by Brec Bassinger & her stepdad – Pat Dugan is played by Luke Wilson. Since early on – the series really thrives on the strong chemistry between the two leads & the awkward, but likeable family bond they share ✨ With seeing so many superhero stories revolving around a character grieving for their dead parents, it was refreshing to get a show centered on a father/daughter relationship. Stargirl does it well as it goes without scenes that put a slower gear on when not needed.

Mike Dugan character played by Trae Romano brings out some cheesy dialogue on first season, but good thing is that they don’t go overboard when know how to focus. S01 offers fine villains like ‘Icicle & Brainwave‘ that are well delivered into live act series. Second season had it’s premiere yesterday 10.8. on The CW & today 11.8 ep. is also available on HBO Max, HBO Nordic & maybe HBO Go ❤ On press event held at end of july the series creator Geoff Johns said that the dark tone will immediately play out in the season two premiere ep. He didn’t go into details, but teased that the opening brings frightening moments to everyone. Today on late evening accompanied with good veg munchies i’ll watch S02E01 on HBO Nordic via 📺 app. I’m not going deeper into series & can say that it’s a lot of fun through ten eps. & i recommend it to anyone 🙌

Superman & Lois


Superman & Lois: Is developed for The CW by Todd Helbing, Greg Berlanti. Directed by Lee Toland Krieger, James Bamford & Rachel Talalay. On this beautiful ‘Man of Steel‘ series the filming crew uses true anamorphic lenses that’s mandatory in order to achieve the ‘epic & mysterious’ look that’s characterized by Zack Snyder’s superhero films 🎥 When watched pilot ep. on HBO Nordic via telly’s app. i was in ‘awe’ state thanks to that & just cause of good writing, fine acting & more 🏆 On S&L, Superman is a now well-established hero who at start is investigating breeches in nuclear power plants with Lois’ father, Gen. Sam Lane (Dylan Walsh). Clark & Lois have been married for a long time, raising twin sons -Jordan (Alex Garfin) & Jonathan (Jordan Elsass)- Jonathan is about to launch his sporty adventures as QB in Metropolis high school.

Jordan has had his issues growing up – he’s often distant & acted out when was younger. He was diagnosed with social anxiety disorder.  Clark feels a bit down at end of many days cause not being able to be there for his kids. Esp. for Jordan to whom he’s been unable to connect with during his anxiety troubled early that should be spent with other ways. The villain story on s01 that’s still going for couple eps. threw a welcome surprise with a small curve & alliance was made. I cheered when saw Angus Macfadyen show up. I strongly recom. S&L (HBO Nordic) to everyone & those who worry about overload with teen angst drama won’t need to think about it. Watch on The CW app. (US only) if you’re on it’s geo range & if not then stream on HBO Max, Nordic or HBO Go & share good word o/
