This show lost something this season and I'm so sad.
The shot where Anakin walks into the smoke during the clone wars and that blink and miss Anakin-Vader-Anakin transition was a thing of beauty :sob::sob::sob:
Hell yes. If you liked this episode, go watch all of Rebels right now.
Probably best episode that there will be for this show.
I was starting to see some kind of plot in the first 2 episodes, I really did. But now I really see this show is going nowhere. its just a weird fetish playground for the weekend to act like a complete creep. At first I thought he was meant to be creepy, but you can tell HE THINKS HE'S COOL.... and its cringe.
Also that Epstein joke - I grew up on some EDGY humor and even I thought that was just in horrid taste.
There is no plot.....
Its just weird torture p*rn.
The Weekend is just weird.
Now I cope and say "hmmm maybe when every episode is out i'll see the whole picture and can maybe the show will be good in context" but I HIGHLY doubt it at this point.
The Empire is Nestle.
(Five.)
This one rang true for me. Heaps of style, punchy pacing and interesting characters
Science Saru returns for the final short in the collection, and it's a doozy. Akakiri is another one focused almost entirely on atmosphere, and like the other ones it's baked with mythology and grand ideas. I like this one a lot for two reasons - the first being that it's clearly set during the days of the Old Republic during the Great Sith Wars, which allows for a more unique setting then the rest of the shorts. And the second being is it's art style, which Saru uses to perfection here. It's probably the most different looking of the shorts but it's got it's own strange beauty to it, being more like something out of Devilman Crybaby in terms of aesthetic which is absolutely my kind of art style.
This is a story about a man falling to darkness, and what causes said man to turn to said darkness. Is it fate? Destiny? Or is it simply one's own internal struggles and pain that force them to make the wrong choice. The ending of this is really powerful and culminates in such a way where you really don't see it coming until it's right in front of you - the final shot is haunting in a way that the rest of the shorts just aren't. Loved, loved this one.
I wish this one was a movie. There is a lot here and the runtime is hamstringing the this story as it doesn't have the time to really dive into depths of its questioning of evil.
You know, these Japan planets would work just fine in canon, as Filoni's shows have had at least two of them before... uh, the furry less so...
Deserved a longer episode as these ideas, plot, and characters needed more time to build up and simmer.
Apart from the mystery behind the elderly man, this story could feasibly fit into the pre-Prequel canon. That is to say, it doesn't require any suspension of disbelief; this feels like regular old Star Wars, through and through.
I especially like the relationship between the master and the padawan. It reminds me of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, but if Qui-Gon were a bit less hardheaded. The dialogue about Jedi wisdom was great, something we see far less frequently in the Disney-era Star Wars, so that was a welcome addition. All in all, it's a solid Star Wars story.
So, nobody will point out that the voice of TO-B1 is actually the voice of Goku in japanese?
Astro Boy but Astro Boy wants to be a Jedi and is also played by Nozawa Masako. Genious.
This was as good an episode as the show is when it's at its best. They handled the time jump well and in contrast to last season this premiere sets a clear direction for what's to come next and makes the show's themes and plot progression a lot tighter. Something that majorly flawed last season.
The finale of this episode was so funny in the irony, great come back, Virginia's Son is like Captain 'Murica before the drugs, and her Daughter really have a fetish for older guys lol, in which I think they should explorer but I doubt a little because of her age.
Bill and Virginia begin to have feelings for each other, but they both are lying to each other.about it.
Poor Margaret, she needs a hug. And the sexual revolution of the 70s.
Acting? Bad.
Writing:? Bad.
Directing? Bad.
I really enjoyed The Mandolorian and even parts of Boba Fett, but this latest effort from Disney is dumb, poorly made, and worst of all, boring. I really cannot believe how bad this is.
My confusion is if Leia and Obiwon did this big journey at the age she’s at. Then why in Star Wars - A New Hope is the hologram Leia send to Obiwon seeming like she never met him other than hearing of him through her father?
Clearly Leia old enough to recall all these events for her future self
