When a Delta Force Team is sorta ambushed in enemy territory, a rookie officer went all the way to make sure that encounter gets positive ending. They rely on a Air Force drone pilot who has eyes on the sky through fourty eight hour fight for survival ๐ค๐ผ The plot of “Land of Bad” is thin, but action scenes are solid. Rockets fired from air, shoulder, planes & choppers. There’s also MGs that blast away at times & even hand to hand combat ๐คผโโ๏ธ Previous review is here. It’s second of a two part review. First can be found from bottom or top right โ
Not bad jungle action time ^^
It’s nice to see Milo Ventimiglia and Ricky Whittle on a same movie. Ricky deserved to return after his good time at ‘American Gods‘ Telly show that got three seasons. It should’ve got one more to reach solid four ๐ Here viewers see two Hemsworth brothers together on screen and Liam not failing the lead part. Luke popped from telly show to movie after spent many years in Westworld, the one that was a success โ R.Crowe did the character work so well that i wonder if any other actor had reached the same height as Captain Eddie Grimm who is a drone operator. Eddie was wearing hawaiian shirt under the jacket that was open, this while at work ๐ค This wouldn’t be allowed while doing it. Eubank definitely knew how to deliver a quarter over hour and half boom boom in the jungle ๐๐ผ
Good ride after a slow’ish start.
The Land of Bad has pacing issue at least twice, not a biggie. This is a good action flicky to wind-down with at evening after day’s activites. I streamed via Amazon Prime Video by using Telly Application ๐๐บ I make the digital purchase via AppleTv store at end of this month as i want to support like that as well. Mostly because people did bad move by not going to it’s screening ๐ There’s one short scene not far from end that fits to totally unreal box. It doesn’t bother me because mind set to complete wind-down mode โ There’s some humour included at first segment and later. One of em happens when Eddie talks to Sgt. JJ Kinney to calm him after a tense combat ๐งโโ๏ธ Eddie says words that mock people who have full empathy level which of course means vegans. It’s oldie and to it’s defense i gotta say that naturally they let others know just as someone with severe food allergy would ๐ค Yes not literally the reason with every individual who doesn’t eat carcass pieces that had a face, but comparison is solid.
Lets say that two out of five people in a group going to restaurant are vegans โฎ Of course they let others know about it before eating at table or before go inside ๐ Later Eddie character goes to buy these tasty v products so it’s sorta baffling to see that Eubank added mockery talk into a scene where it didn’t fit & later same character is supporting those same people ๐ค I know it would be good for Russell to enjoy some of em. So about recommending this movie, well yes and leave the brain to real world off mode & enjoy ๐ต๐ฅช I give sorta generous 7/10 & to add it soon at couple websites. Let me know down below what you thought of this movie after streamed it at Prime Video library or at AppleTv if bought it ๐ฌ
Enjoy The Land of Bad @Amazon Prime Video or AppleTv Store.Wind-Down at evening after day’s Activities.
First Part is here โ This thrilling episode continues directly from cliffhangy moment where beautiful fourth ended. Almost whole twenty nine minutes i was close to edge of my -70’s style chair that can spin 360 ๐ I like it that Jecki was able to go so well against a bogey who did unusual combat style. None of the Jedi hadn’t experienced it for centuries. It was nice how she made the disarm & fought while dual wielding. Yord did a fine move before her when noticed Stranger’s gear advantage ๐ Knights of Ren ๐ถ can be heard during one Stranger’s scene. It’s about the group of warriors that got wasted with no head & tail in bad Sequel Trilogy ๐ Maybe he’s their founder or something. This episode of The Acolyte is stunning, from its lightsaber choreography to other beauty art โ
At least one new Lightsaber move combined with Force move is shown here. Stranger’s talk about Jedis sorta loonie stance & showing that his actions stem directly from them is el spot on ๐ Jedis believe that they alone may handle the Force & it’s powah ๐ For a long time i’ve disliked it & hope that now after le bad sequel trilogy there will be stories where also other folks use & can refer it as they please ๐ค๐ผ This deserves clean 8/10 & would be 8,5 with few changes & ten mins longer runtime. โ
The Acolyte: S01E06 “Teach / Corrupt“
Episode begins with Osha waking up in a small hideout set up by Stranger. The place is empty & she has a moment to wander around & take a look. Week before this lore in depth episode we got a violent el semi gory filled live act set into Galaxy Far, Far Away ๐ This one is mostly about conversation & looks into morality & priorities. It’s not a bad change at all as it fits well into pacing โ Every good viewer knows that no need to have two episodes of full action in a row. People had a week to recover from absolute banger episode ๐งโโ๏ธ This one shed more light into lore & even has goofy moment to balance things just lil bit in more darker tone Star Wars Live Act show โ Oh Master Sol why didn’t you travel straight into Coruscant ๐ I believe that here Stranger & Osha are on a planet Bal’demnic ๐ค It’s a significant piece of lore because it was once inhabited by Darth Tenebrous & his student, Darth Plagueis.
On that celestial object, Plagueis murdered Tenebrous. Neither has never had a live-action appearance. It could be that Plagueis is set to be in S02 & talented crew behind this show is gonna fill the semi gaps in timeline โ Maybe Plagueis was in Brendok’s tragic location & did the nasty finisher shown at end of el beauty fourth episode ๐ค Not the one by Stranger ^^ Star Wars 95: No Zeltrons in 1985 is a Book & Year when Lightwhip was introduced first time in beautiful Star Wars Universe ๐ Pip’s reset also adds to list of no witnesses at Brendok. On this less boom time i enjoyed the creature design shown at coastline. Jung-jae kept hitting the spotlight again ๐ฅณ Sol’s painful time feels so real that i almost literally felt sorry for him. Itโs a well crafted act of emotion for a character โ Bueno 7,5/10 ^^
The Acolyte: S01E07 “Choice“
This begins with eye massaging on location set in Wales. Galaxy Far, Far Away place is on Planet Brendok where Indara, Torbin, Kelnacca & Sol are taking samples from flora & fauna when do a field research for the Jedi Order โ Here we get reveals for what really happened on Brendok all those years ago. โChoiceโ gives us the events from the Jedis point of view. It’s up to a viewer to decide who’s the baddie. Many thought Mae to be responsible, but not quite as the actual truth is more painful. Some of it is because of understandable mistake that any sentient being with emotions could do, yes even a Jedi ๐ค At evening the group is relaxing by the campfire, where Kelnacca prepared fried Nuna leg to everyone.
Those who don’t consume carcass pieces are in trouble when decline Wookiee’s meal offer ๐ฌ Master Sol seemed to enjoy a double dish after work. He told to Indara’s Padawan the reason for the studies on Brendok โ Theyโre looking for a vergence, which is a high concentration of the Force. It couldโve created life on the planet. It was mentioned in ๐ long ago. Later on is revealed what Torbin saw when Mother Aniseya went into his mind. She basically isolated thoughts & speaking to his fears, desire etc. โ That beautiful scene is lil spooky & well done. Aniseya didn’t mean harm by doing so & knowing this & clash later, it’s kinda no wonder why Torbin took the Brash Vow ๐ค Okey 7/10 ^^
The Acolyte: S01E08 “The Acolyte“
Here first scene continues where sixt ended. Osha had lil troubles with the Mask. Same way that’s mentioned in Star Wars book long time ago โ Earlier we thought Mae & Osha were the Vergence in the Force, but now knowing that they’re result of it. This means we still are a bit in the woods with this one. I guess more about it to be revealed on next season ๐ค๐ผ We also get more of eye candy here in S01 Finale in land & space. I look forward to su-mo when restream S01’s last two episodes at Disney+ ๐ I enjoy seeing hand-to-hand & kinda martial arts combat that’s not common in Galaxy Far, Far Away.
Also couple abilities got their first live act screentime during a well crafted encounter. One is where user could fire Force energy like a wave ๐ That is called Force Repulse, it can shove or knock down anyone within in close proximity. Few other things that i like in this: The grey hooded robe that Osha wears by the beach. One of many fine wardrobe picks on this season. General look of Jedi Temple, camera angles in several scenes & pacing not bad at all. Here good use of fourty five minutes runtime with a lot of eye candy treatments ๐ It also set up a lot of elements for beautiful season 2 ^^ Goosebumpy surprise & sorta two of em. Clear 8/10 & close to 8,5 if would’ve got gentle touch to smooth things. I’ll probably mention it at S01 spoily update by early – middle August ๐ The one where i talk more about this season.
Many questions & story pathways are in the wild now after mostly El Bueno S01. The Wait for S02 begins. Thanks to Headland, Kogonada, Culpepper & others who brought this eye & ear massage season to us ๐
About things: S01 would be el perfecto if it got ten episodes, no matter what duration when pre end credits. What Is A Vergence? It is a space where the Force is strong & flows freely, allowing it to be manipulated or used by beings skilled with Force. It’s also been called a “Force Nexus” as it can be a meeting place between strong channels of the Force that give those around them even more power & access to it โ The final move at lightsaber duel in ruined fortress is a nice tribute to samurai roots mentioned by George back in the days ๐ I hope that Master Torbin left his knowledge to databank in Jedi Holocrons. He was clearly very strong with Jedi mindpowah ๐ค
The Acolyte’s stunt crew should be hired to work also on other live act shows. Sol wasnโt wrong with thoughts he had about the incident in Fort used by Witches. The whole conflict started by Witch’s mind when invaded the padawanโs body without consent. I wish good time to everyone when stream this nice Star Wars Telly show at Disney+ & relax well in Galaxy Far, Far Away ๐งโโ๏ธ๐ต๐ฅช๐ I’ll add that spoily update when time is ready. Be kind to others & always help elder when see that requires assist ^^
Filming of S01 went through in London & at Shinfield Studios inย Berkshireย ^^ The on location filming was done in Wales & Portugal. On location sets look amazing ^^ This beautiful Telly show’s era takes place a century before the events ofย Star Wars: Episode Iย The Phantom Menace โ It’s sorta focused on the rising ofย dark side powersย in the final daysย of theย High Republic Era. It introduces a respectedย Jediย Master who is investigating a series of crimes. He meets a formerย Padawanย of his & not long after it they encounter evil at work ๐ฌ Here is my first Live Act Star Wars review. Give it a read after done reading this The Acolyte S01 PT1 review ๐ Enjoy streaming this at Disney+ & trip to Galaxy Far, Far Away after done reading the review ๐ต๐ฅช๐ช
S01E01 “Lost / Found“
This Live Act Star Wars adventure begins with gorgeous scenery of a foggy planet Ueda. Character played by talented Amandla Stenberg walking towards a bar. There Jedi Master Indara who is played by Carrie- Anne Moss is attacked by a woman who uses daggers at fights โ Later on The bartender identifies Osha Aniseya, a former Jedi Padawan, as the killer. It’s because she’s a twin of a character who fought at first scene. Osha works as a meknek, the profession that includes hazard work outside of starships. She denies committing the crime when arrested by Jedi Knight Yord Fandar & his Padawan Tasi Lowa. I noticed that Amandla Stenberg has the ability to play twin role very well with a soft touch. Mae & Osha characters played by Amandla connect feels lil bit similar to the Force Dyad ๐ค I’d say the pilot a.k.a opener episode gets 6.5/10 & would be 7 if the distraction at noodles joint scene not be so faulty. This & more episodes streaming in Disney+ ๐ Highlight: Droid ship goodies & facehuggah in Galaxy Far, Far Away โ
S01E02 “Revenge / Justice“
Quite soon after i launched the relaxing with this one i noticed that pace in general is much better than at opening episode ๐ง On this episode the viewer spends more time following Mae character. That allows viewer to learn more about what drives her & what she plans to do. The mystery of what happened in the past still a closed book โ The episode opens with what looks like an easy kill for Mae, as she finds her next target, Master Torbin meditating in a room, floating in place. He’s been doing it for a long time & with great Jedi power as soon after it is shown. This fan’s eyes & ears got a nice treat because of temple’s atmosphere, life on the street, people passing by & so on ๐คค One of the good moments is also when Jecki talks to Osha on a ship & slight smile before great Jedi Master Sol walks into room =) Another el bueno display of vibrant Star Wars Universe in Live Act production ๐ The end scene is pure goodiness. S01E02 gets 7/10 & would be seven & half if first escape scene be more clear. Highlight: Sol’s movements at end & life around the temple โ
S01E03 “Destiny”
On a planet Brendok sixteen years earlier, a younger Verosha Aniseya (“Osha”) is meditating in a forest grove beneath a bunta tree. She admires a butterfly-like insect. Her sister Mae-ho Aniseya (“Mae”) finds her meditating โ When Osha says the bunta tree is beautiful, Mae replies that the tree is dangerous. Osha responds that only its fruit is dangerous. Mae uses her Force Powers to suspend the insect until Osha tells her to let the creature go. On this scene i like the colourful setting in Galaxy Far, Far Away & well done with kids being as they are ๐ Later, the sisters & Zabrak Mother Koril enter a mountain fortress populated by ladies of various species. The two sisters want some biscuits called as spice creams (not the illegal spice as that’s different), but Koril denies it as punishment because they left the fortress. All good though because other lady known as Mum Aniseya told them that biscuit munch time lil after ๐ฅณ This place is a home for Witches that are sorta familiar sight in Galaxy Far, Far Away. Seeing other than Dathomir Witches & how they performed things was a welcome experience ๐ Do they have any connection to ones that live in Dathomir, hmm that be nice to know ๐ค
I guess this is explained in High Republic books that i’ll buy later this year from Amazon Co Uk. Chanting & song during the ritual is what Witches usually do on here it’s done quite well โ Everyone who have seen their work in movies & telly shows through decades knows that it’s like this ๐ The scene where they display the use of Force for children is nice. There’s even a realism part where kids just being well -kids. This Witch group calls the Force as ‘Thread‘ & nothing wrong with it because for decade+ it’s known that Force sensitive beings interpret it differently โ I like the wardrobe & small details on bodies. Live Act Zabrak after couple decades & Jodie Turner’s performance, ah award worthy ๐ง The incident scene is also quite good & especially when knowing that this style of storytelling is el bueno when done right & here it is so ๐ It was shown from Osha’s POV. On S01E05 or S01E06 we’ll get to see more of what happened in Brendok. Story for S01 is still mostly inside the wraps ๐ค S01E03 gets 7/10 ๐ Highlight: On Location Sets, Lighting & Makeup work โ
Did S01E03 break lore ? No it didn’t. Way too many people suffer with subjectivity in Star Wars lore talks & so on.
S01E04 “Day“
This beautiful episode was shot in three places. On Location Sets were used in Wales & Portugal & rest shot in London Studios ๐ง Here The Acolyte show brings us back to the present day storytelling. One of the nice things shown here is how human like the thoughts & such on this world can feel despite being in a galaxy far, far away. No i don’t mean that our reality be transfered there & then reason to complain. After short glimpse to Kelnacca’s home in Koshar we enter into Jedi Temple in Coruscant. There Osha watches Jecki during a training session before says thanks for helping her find Mae. During nice talk they have, Osha says that she’ll also share stories about their master when time is ready โ This is first time in Live Act Star Wars since Episode 2: Attack of the Clones when we see more than two Jedi team up together ๐
The group come to a place in a Khofar forest where alien vibe creatures are attached to trees. One of them wakes up when Osha touches it. Osha shouts Master Sol’s name & things happen ๐ฌ This makes for a welcome creepies moment in Star Wars Galaxy ๐ง It’s nice to see on this El Beauty episode that Derek Arnold took over the work from Silas Carson as the younger Ki-Adi-Mundi. He’s a puppeteer & actor, his biography includes many roles in Star Wars. Those include work in movies like Le Sigh Awakens a.k.a Semi New Hope by J.J.A. & Rogue One. โ Why didn’t more bugs wake up & attack the group. Yordโs Padawan, Tasi Lowa hmm sheโs been absent since her brief appearance in series opener episode ๐ค I hope we see hat Zygerrian Jedi later. S01E04 would get 7,5 if more than one buggy had woken up & that create bigger danger. ๐ I guess they come to disturb the encounter at next episode because of noise & light. I’ll stream S01E05 soon via D+ at 1am. Restream maybe at sunday. Highlights: Good short talks with characters, Bayrn species briefly shown at spaceport scene & one other. The beauty of On Location Sets & the floating down part close to end โ
Did S01E04 break lore with that appearance ? No not at all ๐
Wrapping up: First half of S01 gives the captivating Star Wars feeling ๐ฏ% Nice visuals, ear massage audio, on location sets, wardrobe & dialogues not bad at all โ Yord is cool Jedi Knight who closely follows rules & likes to keep Jedi robe in fine condition. Sol is a nice Jedi Master with good intentions. Jecki seems like a smart young Jedi who wants to live a good life in the path she has chosen. Carrie should’ve stayed around longer in present day. Many scenes where Indara investigates with Sol would’ve been welcome ๐ค It’s not a deal breaker though โ Lee Jung dedicated his time for the character & learned more London language, respect ^^ The way he speaks at certain volume & situations, le perfecto. I hope that Ewan welcomes him into Star Wars Family if hasn’t yet. Talented Amandla got it from Hayden ๐ After 4x episodes The Acolyte is 7/10 ^^ I’ll add at web soon.
Pros: Ewan McGregor & Indira Varma. Beautiful reference / stolen encounter display at one of the rooms with Stormtroopers. Which one did it better, Starkiller or Obi-Wan ^^ That choreography was good, but also flawed. Now at Mickey’s SW the Lightsaber actually bounces off from Stormtrooper’s armor before goes through on next attempt ๐ฎ Sad to see that Boba’s Gaffi Stick seems to be stronger as it didn’t perform so weakly when he put down bogies in Mandalorian S02. Cons: Perfect moment for Clone Wars flashbacks while Obi is in the bacta recovery, But naah.. Obi-Wan used the Force to swiftly dry up his outfit (wasn’t shown) after got into the base. Didn’t wear the armor of the knocked stormtrooper. It’s the ‘SW THING TO DO‘, but nah lets not do it Now to think of it, it couldn’t have been done cause of the uber cringey scene at end of the episode. Obi-Wan walks through sec checkpoint while Leia is under the massive trench coat.. ๐ Which one did it better: Austin Powers or Obi-Wan ? Tala does gentle head slap & down goes stormtrooper. ๐ง Darth Tantrum Inquisitor calls Obi-Wan as Kenobi to Leia & not Ben as Obi spoke to Leia. Now Leia knows this is Obi-Wan Kenobi. So it ruined the “help me Obi-Wan Kenobi” you helped my father in the Clone Wars.. ‘I forgot that you helped me when i was a kid.’ <– ๐
‘Is this a staring contest‘ ? <-Words from youngling at interrogation room. Reva didn’t think to check if kiddo is Force Sensitive.. Only replies ‘You’re Strong‘ <– ๐ค ๐ She couldn’t mind read ten year old, but did to adult earlier on EP02. No reaction to it ๐คฆโโ๏ธ We’re somehow supposed to believe that she’s competent enough in ‘The Force‘ as a 10-year old to (easily) block mind reading from a trained Inquisitor. Then takes 9x years for her to have the ability to sense things with ‘The Force‘ like she does in “Return of the Jedi“. Since Tie-Fighters shown in the hangar, they should have been used. Staying idle= They shouldn’t have been shown in the first place. Opening shot of the Fortress without the TIE-Fighters would’ve been fine. But no because lack of focus.
T-47’s are 2 person vehicles. One was destroyed, leaving1x vehicle for 4 people. How did they make it happen ? Magic โค 2 Inquisitors are in the hangar, Reva is the only one that does something (not useful) while the other (Fifth Brother) stands there & yells. I’d rather watch a slow paced spinoff of Tera Sinube than Darth Tantrum toy woman doing unuseful moves. Fortress Inquisitorius defenses should have detected the rebel ship once in orbit. On the Rebels telly show ‘Fifth Brother‘ puls the ‘Phantom’ ship & therefore stopped it from leaving the base. He doesn’t try anything at Kenobi S01E04 except yells as mentioned ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Yes this is badly timed filler episode that has lots of goofiness.
Shame on apologists for saying that Vader let Obi go on purpose at EP03 because Obi was so weak that Vader felt cheated. Well, seems like he’s pretty interested in capturing him at end of EP04, doesn’t it? The real Darth Vader would’ve Force Choked her while she’s in the air. Yes she placed the tracker into Lola, but Vader could’ve given that job to GI, Fifth Brother or Fourth Sister. This tracker getaway from being killed is รผber dumb. Mainly because Revan, mean ‘Reva’ would’ve needed to make sure that Fifth Brother with ‘Raiden Fan Hat’ or Fourth Sistah won’t be there to stop them from escaping. Vader was clearly angered after Obi escaped. Still he let Reva live & bowed to her like “i underestimated you“, ‘Hug‘ ?
In one scene Obi can barely move a 1 inch piece of metal with the ‘Force’ then 5mins later he is able to stop huge pressurised water flow into corridor. Vader had same in Fallen Order game. Obi did it all while fighting ST’s with other hand. Not to forget that in SW they use Transparasteel. Not glass.. Thereโs something oddly cheap about the ‘escape from Fortress Inquisitorius‘. Seen in an awkward sequence involving Reva deflecting blaster shots while clearly not in eyeline with T-47. When looking at The Mandalorian & cinematic quality of the Andor trailer, it stings to see ‘Kenobi‘ occasionally feel like a b-tier show. Should be same & higher. Most waited SW Telly show has 33min filler episode.. Why? EP04 is a missed opportunity. It would fit into mid of 8-10x eps long S01, not to one with 6x 30-42min each.
Obi-Wan talks with Roken & his allies about approach plan into Fortress Inquisitorius.
Comparison of SWEU & Cinema Darth Vader vs occasional Mickey’s Vader: Golden OT: Admiral: “Lord Vader, the fleet has moved out of light speed & we‘re preparing to a-“ Darth Vader: “You’ve failed me for the last time Admiral” (force choked to Death) Kenobi show up to EP06: Darth Tantrum: “I do what I please & if you don’t like it, Not my Problem.” Darth Vader: “Yes Ma’am, let me know if you need anything & enjoy.”
Episode 5 6.5/10
Pros: Ewan McGregor & Hayden Christensen. It’s great to see that Obi-Wanโs Lightsaber in the flashback scene is the old one that he lost in AOTC. This attention to detail by someone got a praise from me ^^ “Your need for victory Anakin, it blinds you..” ๐ช Anakin’s Eyes totally expressive at that moment, distress & sort of frustration on his mind ๐ณ Wiuh so so good to see Anakin & Obi-Wan together like back in the days โค Hayden likes the behind-the-back blade twirl & done well ^^ Obi-Wan circled while one-handed is how he engages Count Dooku at the end of SW:EP02 when he blocks his lightning ๐ Cons: Maybe this time he really ran out of Force Juice / Energy Level & that’s why didn’t try to Force pull the ship that appeared from behind the wrecked one. Vader to have such powah doesn’t make sense when it’s done outside SWEU. No, it wasn’t good reference to what ‘Starkiller‘ did to bigger ship & redirected it. *Chewie Giggidy face.* Now we come back to silly part of Reva knowing that Darth Vader is Anakin Skywalker ๐ฎ Part of canon is that the Emperor & Vader hunted down everyone who knew it. They definitely wouldn’t have let one become an Inquisitor.
It’s satisfying to see Vader toying with Reva without breaking a sweat & no need for own Lightsaber Included blocking the strikes with force & ordering the flow of “combat” with ‘dance‘ moves.. Then came the sad fact that he & GI left the job undone. At Mickey’s SW not even the Lightsabers are competent enough as they can’t kill body of weak species when torso gets hit. Savedwhen the plot demands it. Shame for Qui-Gon & some Jedis who got hit by LS into same spot. They were without same plot armor. 100x less interesting character had it ๐ Mickey’s Corporation even managed to indirectly ruin his death. Now even humies can survive from Lightsaber stab. Twice that is if the first time was a stab ๐
Flashback scene from pre ROTS days. One of the highlights on EP05. My heart’s SW chamber needed this.
Episode 6 8/10
Pros: Ewan McGregor & Hayden Christensen. We actually get someLegacy OST to massage our ears. It was brief joy joy & better late than never. This series or show finale is emotionally driven, beautiful mostly 90% canon preserving artwork. Good one even it’s literally dark for most of runtime. This eats full point from rating. Sadly it’s a way to save production work & expenses on many cases. I was hoping to see Obi to do Force Jump after cleared the rocks above him. Moments later cheered when Obi turned into supah saiyan mode & channeledprecious skill from youngling days ๐ช Then made the beautiful leap strike which cracked the helmet.
It’s a sort of a copy (cracked other side) from Ah-Soka vs Vader in animated Clone Wars show, but no matter. When Vader said โYou didnโt kill Anakin, I didโ the goosebumbsieez took over. The light on Anakin’s face changes while he talks,๐ต until he says the kill part, it turns ๐ด Hayden & Ewan delivered the goodies during the “meet up” at moon ๐ฏ Switch between JOJ’s & Hayden’s voice is brilliant. I’ll definitely rewatch this encounter many times via Mickey+ I can forgive the silly brief moment when Obi has goofy grip on Lightsaber. I felt the man tears approaching when he mentioned the ‘lost friend‘ ๐ฅบ Cons: Once Vader is few meters away from the shuttle he says: โHave you come to destroy me?โ <- I thought he was chasing Obi-Wan & Obi decided to go there to see what’s cooking so that future rebels get to safety. I would’ve suggested line: โSo Obi-Wan this is where you want to die..โ Kenobi flying away after his win? <- Send few Tie Fighters or use the Star Destroyer nearby / in orbit. Guess those ‘thought requiring‘ moves would’ve been too much cause of runtime addition & more ๐ Then again, if Mickey’s crew acknowledges that they exist, then they have to write intelligent stories to explain how things happen. How did Reva leave the base when no ships remained after refugees left first & then Vader with GI ? Mickey’s Magic again ๐ง How did aunt Beruknow that Reva “The Iron Torso” comes to farmstead during the dark ๐จโ๐ซ
Not to forget the fact that Obi-Wan fought Vader at the same time as Reva was at farmstead, but when Obi had defeated Vader he managed to travel to Tatooine in minutes. He made it on time to confront Reva & forgive her all with lil pep talk. It makes no sense since travelling a grid in the SW galaxy takes hours. Noticed how night-time on that area when Obi landed & on planet approach scene he lands to area with daytime ๐ How could Owen miss his first shot on Reva. She was literally standing still. Maybe he went through the Stormtrooper training program ๐ฅด Pst: He didn’t know that wife had weapons hidden at downstairs. Planet with hostile creatures & raiders looting at least once a month i assume. Even knowing these he’s so crap shot that misses still target ๐ณ Lill after when he waits Reva on a ledge, he doesn’t shoot at all & that gave edge to character who magically traveled to Tatooine.
Why didn’t at least Beruchase Reva with speeder once she went to run after Luke. Owen couldn’t cause of his bad knee. Should have left fear behind. Owen & Beru should’ve set crossfire ambush, not both to stay on same side. Mickey’s crew explaining episode or movie content won’t be done as that would require effort & time consuming things like script editing & redrafting ๐ค They weren’t hired for this. As far as Mickey showrunners are concerned, if something isn’t on screen, it doesn’t exist. Two points taken cause there was no need to show Reva going into Tatooine faster than made any sense. Yes, she found the holo recording with Owen’s name & it happened only because Bail was so dumb to mention it ๐คฆโโ๏ธ He could’ve sent the message without saying it & Obi knowing what he means. High importance subject & he acts like has amoeba’s brain ๐ข Of course Obi was dumb earlier when gave it to scammer & he dropped it.
Obi-Wan goes into Soresu when gets ready to face his ex apprentice on another Duel. Location was nameless moon near base that future rebels used.
Finalizing thoughts, rants, praise here & there.
The ost is mostly dull & generic through the season. In Rebels animated series it uplifted episodes to be a lot better & same for Clone Wars esp. last few on S07 โจ๐ถ Joby Harold who’s one of the Kenobi writers said publicly that he hasn’t seen ROTS. He also said that didnt know Obi Wan knew Anakin being Darth Vader ๐ฎ He joined to write the most hyped show of this decade, but doesnt look into material source ๐โโ๏ธ He went to consult with clown Pablo Hidalgo. “Red LS crystals are faulty” Why: Didn’t kill Plot Armored Reva who’s species is human. GI’s survival was expected cause he’s a Pau’an species. No fear of infection & have two stomachs. Their average lifespan is 700years. Mostly pointless character Reva (why name her so close to greatest Jedi) got stabbed (or slashed & stabbed) & all good, walks in sunshine ๐คฏ Lightsaber can even go through Parasteel Doors (element used in SW Universe) & no doubt it would destroy entrails of sentient being. Doesn’t kill youngling who got hit.. Youngling strike not shown by end of S01E06. She only told at Path’s base that she hid under the youngling corpses. Okey, did Anakin just blindly swing younglings at temple & plot armored Reva survived cause of it ?
Obi could’ve finished Vader before OT events took place, but he didnt. So every sentient being killed by Vader after duel in nameless moon is partially his fault. Alderaan & more if include SWEU content. Not those after Mustafar duel because he thought Anakin dies when he made the mistake about high ground. The entire OT is down to Obi-Wan letting Vader go for no apparent reason. If he let him live because it’s Luke’s job to take him down then that was very blind decision cause of The Empire. Even Kenobi the looong waited show & it’s possibly only S01 was a 65% letdown, i’ll keep Mickey+ subenabled cause of waiting for ‘Andor‘ pilot episode to air on late August ๐ Ewan saved a lot of points for it.
Yes there’s almost two months ‘empty‘ time after Kenobi’s season 1 finale ๐ฆ Season word as i dream of S02 rumor to come true. Also waiting for Willow’s return as telly series, Mandalorian S03 Feb. next year & mostly wait for Ah-Soka on same year. Now hoping for Quinlan Voss on Kenobi’s possible S02 or on Ah-Soka series. Then not to get killed cause he’s entertaining Jedi ๐ My ‘true‘ Star Wars joy content so far up to this day 28.6.6022 (2022 by oldest storybook timeline) is movies 1-6, Rogue One, Legends books & comics that i’ve read. I’ve bought many as EBook. Here’s a fine ear massage since we didn’t get legacy tracks (two isn’t enough) through the six episodes. Enjoy content, share opinion about them at web as that helps the industry & others. Support & lets ask for telly deities to ensure that Ah-Soka, Skeleton Crew & Andor to be memorable adventures. Rumor is that Millie Bobby Brown makes her debut into galaxy far away on Skeleton Crew. It also has talented Jude Law among others. We’ll channel good vibes for future content.
Jedi Master Obi-Wan has a rejuvenating evening in Tatooine. Maybe gets visit from Qui-Gon, Yoda, Siri Tachi & Kit Fisto.
Lil about my Cruelty Free-Eating path in recent-times & new plans.
My fav. drink with good fruit is Pear Juice that doesn’t have added crap white sugar. That’s my go to drink at other times than after food & waking up. Cleaned water when wake up & later on the day with warm meal. Long time passion to eating fruits with their natural sugar โค I prefer fruits few times a week 110% more than ready made fruity meals that have added sugar or others. Found tasty buckwheat cereals early this year & since april have baked low sodium glut free bread with buckwheat & rice flour ๐ Happy that after couple fails they’ve turned out good. Some fine nutritious ingredients in meat substitute foodies are pea prot, shroomies or just shroomie prot, tasty seaweed for patties & more. If you decide to include seaweed to your diet then recom. to skip hijiki seaweed cause it has big amount of arsenic. Usually seaweed is without it so no need to worry about that. These are healthy & nutritious food from planet itself. There’s many more goodies on vegan foodie path that doesn’t include only Soy. There’s many almost mind numbing tasty, healthy & nutritious carcass meat substitutes on these days โค Patties, sausages etc. ๐
I didn’t turn into semi cruelty free-eating path by any one’s recommendation. Atm. i follow pescatarian foodie path so that’s why semi word there. I’ll go to full cruelty free-eating by end of this year & have eaten tasty fishy substitute product that also has good nutrit. values โค Ditching carcass eating naturally is good for those sentient beings without voice & the planet. It’s also a good nutritional path for humans to stop adding dead flesh into their shell that they maintain from birth up to day when it turns into content suitable for composts. This recommended by those with truly compassionate mind & also put up the pieces together by myself. With adding together mean the fact that human species don’t need to consume rotting flesh of other sentient beings to survive & it’s mind boggling how millions of people don’t see it ๐ฆ
Big corps. on murder industry been doing ‘fight back‘ operation for year or two now. It’s done by increasing dairy farm commercials that are built in a way that they brainwash children to think how it’s all sunshine & no sentient beings are hurt They’re tricked to think that those carcass pieces appear to their plate from farms with no bloodshed. Some good Finnish Plant Based products: Meaat, GaryRenegade, Voner Owners of Meaat Plant Based foodies announced that they’ll reduce sodium content from their products by end of this year so that’s great. Flavor remains just as good cause of herbs etc. I kinda don’t like their name cause it reminds of butchering, but kinda not. Gary Renegade produces so far my fav. Veg Sausage called ‘Pornaisten Palkki‘ that’s main ingr. is Broad Bean. Vรถner has Seitan which isn’t glut. free cause it’s made out of wheat so i eat it only on s.moments.
Veg Casserole with Veg minced Meat that has Pea Protein. I also added: Herbs, Broccoli, R.B.Pepper, lil bit of Black Beans & covered with Veg Kremel Cheese โค
Telly entertainment shines from Aug to early next Year
Many telly series return for new season on this month & also one or two long waited movies coming to cinema & streaming platform. If not mistaken atm. the Suicide Squad helmed by James Gunn is released on both Hbo Max & in cinemas. Hopefully it has good revenue & at least doubles the prod. costs so Dcu Cinema productions is even more ensured. So on that front is gonna be busiest & most exciting month so far on this year. Kinda shame that so many make their return during same month cause then it also means that all or some drop out about same time until their possible return on next year. Foundation series Pilot ep. arrives at end of Sept. I haven’t looked into it, but hope season one to include at least ten eps. & that it gets good support at Apple+ platform.
So this is good as then quaranteed for many to have entertainment up to end of the year if not longer. Before year the Book of Boba Fett‘s pilot ep. arrives. Not to forget Q1 next year as then ST:SNW comes to fill our minds with no doubt beauty pilot ep. Many series i support by watching through Streaming App. on Telly. Always with relaxed pace & currently subbed to Hbo Nordic (merges later to Hbo Max), A.P.V. via Amazon.co.uk & Mickey+ owned by Mickey’s corp. Always when i shop at Amazon Store in Uk or Germany (.de) then i use smile. at front of addr. & then small amount of โฌ goes to charity org. that i’ve chosen. Brief look into what telly offers through last five months of this year ๐คณ๐ I wish good prosperous August to everyone. Remember to recycle, Reduce single plastic use & then use Fabric Bags for Groceries & in General โค Ask stores to replaces plastic containers, fruits & vegs that are packed with plastic to be packed bio friendly instead. Few easy steaps to help nature & sentient beings.
