The fight scenes were quite impressive. I was not happy that Carrie Ann Moss was killed off right away. But overall a decent episode.
So disappointing. My expectations were already rock bottom. Bad acting, bad dialogue, predictable story, boring characters. Some of the costumes looked like comic con outfits. Couldn't even get the Neimoidian voices right. It genuinely felt like I was watching a Doctor Who episode at some points (and not a good one). Star Wars is officially dead and Disney killed it.
Very underwhelming and disappointing pilot episode.
I was totally hyped when I saw a new star wars serie was aired. But what a downer! I couldn't even finish the episode. It was that bad! The acting was excruciatingly bad! It felt more like I was watching a fanmade show! I thought the latest expendables movie was bad, but this was even worse!
The revival wasn’t bad, but it also wasn’t any where near as funny as the original. I wanted to love it, but it was very like every CBS sitcom, like" "Mike and Molly" for example.
The competence on display really reminds you that the best of the original series was a masterclass in ensemble cast work. Kelsey slips into the role like a pair of socks, as for the rest of the cast, I'm reserving my judgment until I’ve watched at least a few more episodes.
Definitely feels like they're just trying to replace characters like for like. I get that David is basically doing his best Niles impression, but something isn’t clicking here, so far he seems to have been written like Shelton from Big Bang Theory to me rather than Niles. Flipping the Martin/Frasier dynamic with Frasier/Freddie just feels like "been there, done that". I'm worried about Frasier not having anyone to snob around with, I felt that his and Niles' discussions about clothing, opera etc. were quite important. Alan doesn't seem to fill that slot, and neither does David.
The canned laughter is spoiling the funny bits. It's on almost every damn line. Do people really need to be told when to laugh?
I’m hoping that it gets funnier as the characters develop.
I'm not a writer, but I imagine writing the first episode of a sitcom is no easy undertaking, nevermind a revival of one 20 years after the first run finished.
I liked this episode, it had a lot of setting up to do, which it did well and whilst trying to inject the classic frasier moment of "frasier doesn't know what's going on in the other room".
It wasn't the tidiest episode, but I'll put that down to the cast settling in. The in-memoriam moments are very good and they don't shy away, but also don't go over the top.
I've high hopes for this revival, the 2nd episode is better, hopefully the trend remains :fingers_crossed:
I'm sorry to say it but this episode was weaker than the first two. The David character is ruining it. Most of the others can pass for real people even if they're goofy at times; David just seems like a cartoon.
It won't last past 10 episodes at this rate, laugh track every 1.5 seconds, cannot hold a candle to the original series.
It wasn't bad. not as good as the original run, but way better than last week's episode
By now I feel like it's visually extremely well made but the writing, plot development, villains, emotional points, characters motivations... are all extremely erratic and bland. What will now happen? A 2nd rescue to fill 1 episode, then 1 escape and pulling the strings in the finale? I'm honestly not that keen to know, given we already know what the characters' fate will be. What is this adding? I was interested in seeing more humanity from Ben, him mentoring Leia maybe, maybe see some of Luke's life at the farm meant as "giving beloved characters a more rounded persona, emotionally and in the small things and in what led them to become who we know".
I have the same impression I got with Spider-Man: No Way Home and The Book of Boba Fett : quite unnecessary plot, just playing on the nostalgia factor and love for the characters. I don't know if it's Disney's go-to in this period but personally if it's done this way I just prefer to treasure the memories
- Going to Freck cause he seems friendly from the distance. It seems Leia's only purpose by now is to put them into a supposedly dangerous situation to get the plot ahead for 5-10mins
- The whole ride on the "bus" with the stormtroopers...
- I liked the heartfelt conversation after the stormtroopers left, and honestly I'd have preferred much more such a tone. Less events-packed
- Obi-Wan bowing and accepting his fate and a possible shot seems forced, not trying to protect Leia I mean
- Feels like Ewan McGregor was not used anymore to his Obi-Wan/Alec Guinness voice: while they're hiding in the Path, he underlines "what is [this place]" like Guinness did, exact tone
- Again stormtroopers getting close and aggressively questioning someone just to let it go. Cheap tension, if used too often
- I don't know if it's acted on purpose but you can see that Obi-Wan moves like an older man, with less agility, a more shuffled running pace
- The main villain always having a sixth sense over how to discover where the good guys are hiding, or were hiding as when Reva does here discovering the hiding room and the tunnel (as she saw them last episode shooting on the roofs. Here even randomly by throwing away some object in a rage attack) - again feels cheap writing to have something happen and have a chase
- Obi-Wan getting force-choked? I've always wondered how during a lightsaber duel, one would protect himself/herself from such a technique
- And of course, the final
Wow. This is really bad. There is no Simpsons episode that comes anywhere close to being this bad. Woof.
Feels so surreal still to be seeing Bo Katan in this show and in such a big role, she definitely is the highlight of the episode as Din is pretty bland right now tbh
This is bad. So so bad. Stupid plot and really annoying versions of the characters from the movies. Young Leia is just stupid and so is many of the new ones. Why should I keep watching?
What bad action scenes they had. Deborah Chow this is the worst yet to be seen from you as a director.
At 39:25 was funny as hell stormtroopers just shooting and missing all their shots on one android is fucking hilarious!
I bet in the next episode little Leia will outrun the black Karen Inquisitor.
Terrible show.
I'm more eager and enthusiastic for the upcoming youtube essays on how bad this show is after it ends.
I feel like the show is somewhat improving but my favourite thing about this show is genuinely the end credits
Jesus. How many episodes is it going to take to resolve one battle - between two ships??
A very poor season start for SNL -- the colossal d-bag Ye gets an extra, i.e. third, performance and closes the show wearing a red MAGA cap. *YIKES*
I feel like an extra 25 or 30 minutes would have been better to draw out the drama a little more. Still, pretty good and I can't wait for season 2!
Wow what a utter load of rubbish that was. I actually skipped bits it was that unwatchable. I can let say that for many shows especially one I like !
Oh sure, lets leave the unstable "destroyed a toy dog" guy in charge of the drill pressure thing, it'll be fiiiine! Also, let's have him help the guy that argued with him earlier, he'll do his best to save him!
I know, I know, plot devices.
Awful pointless and stupid. in a series of great episodes this one made me want to give up the show. Why is all I can say, who cares this much about coach beard. God it was terrible. self indulgent crap
One of the least exciting pilots in the history of science fiction.
After the bad first season and an ok second season the third season start was surprisingly good. A little slow paced but I'm fine with it. Can't wait for the next episode(s).
A 20 minute episode is far more interesting and endearing than a whole trilogy of movies. I really hope this gets expanded into a full series!
The moment I realized LD was back in good form was when he started screaming slurs at Siri. This happens to me around 30% of the time I'm alone with a customer service robot.
I really hope this show gets better, because episode 1 was a travesty. The script is so generic it hurts. My wife and I called every plot point before it happened. The acting is laughable, there was no conviction in anyone except Carrie Anne Moss. Dialogue was embarrassing. This was an absolute shitshow. Disney once again shows us the quickest way to the bottom.
I felt bored and the acting felt lackluster. The overall plot just felt dull, like there was nothing there. And some of the sets/costuming looked so cheap, like something bought at an Anime con
This was super cringy...
At the same point I know they're playing off of my nostalgia for the previous show and I kind of want to see what will happen. I guess the cameos from the old crew will be the best thing from this... Same thing they wanted to achieve with Full House.
Nostalgia can't save it, not for me.
