First and foremost. I stand firm on my opinion that you like all of Star Wars in it’s entirety or you’re not a Star Wars fan. These comments are atrocious. The writing was wonderful and sentimental, they couldn’t have a grand revelations or changes because they have to keep within canon confines, the fight scenes were great you just expected more from ageing characters and actors, the dialogue was sentimental and wonderful, and the parallels between the fight in rebels was intentional perhaps to create a similar level of emotional resonance between Ashoka and Obi Wan, maybe use your brains damn.
I loved this series, it gave me just enough new insight to be engaging and fresh but kept true to the bones of the show. It was good to see Obi Wan struggle with his connection to the force over the shows run, and it was so magical having Leia, playing her theme at the end wrecked me and brought me right back to Carrie, the intentional fan service of “Hello There” was perfect, and you really went out there and got Liam Neeson. I appreciated every second of this show and I am so grateful it was made.
That being said. This works perfectly as it is, additional seasons would be unnecessary in my opinion.
This episode was uncomfortable for a multitude of reasons. I mean we can talk about how Ru chose to deal with Scarlet's past actions until the day I die. Frankly Ru, while qualified to comment on the offensiveness of blackface, is in no way licensed to speak for all people of colour let alone First Nations people. Basically I applaud her for giving Scarlet the chance to make amends, learn, and grow, but she should have been removed from the competition, especially because the photos are not the first time she's engaged in blackface. The work room scene was honestly the best part of the episode because the queens aren't letting her get away with this "I was young" crap, you are ten, it was wrong always, let alone five minutes ago when you did it.
But that aside, I am so mad at this American perspective of vulgarity. One, some of the American queens have gotten a pass on similarly vulgar things. But Ru, you're married to an Australian, you've clearly met at least one Australian. We Australian's have a more vulgar sense of humour by nature. So you wanting the queens to brand a quote "yeast spread" unquote, because you can't say the V word without paying for the name rights, and you expected these Australian queens to not equate "yeast" with vulgarity. I am sorry but this is bullshit. Australian humour at its finest. Etcetera deserves better. This is in no way as bad as Canada in terms of judging, but this episode was just really questionable. The judges need to take a hard look at themselves here.
That lip sync, despite one of my favourites leaving, was honestly sensational and Maxi really did the damn thing.
