Browsing this thread and the one in OOTV and it made me recall this wonderful short from almost 25 years ago. Really worth a watch for all you SW fans who made not have seen it by now. Probably better writing than anything else in SW recently.



Highly doubt Disney would ever do a series like this, but if they did, I'd watch it.

I kinda wanted Qui-Gon's ghost to show up at the end, pull open his robe to show the saber wound, and just say "what the ****, people".

Its almost like there is a huge market of people who saw the OG film as kids in 77 and as adults would love a SW film aimed at adults, but which was nakedly exploitative of nostalgia.

Also some of these adults spend huge sums on merchandise, nerds with jobs etc.

Just sayin Disney, one time.

Glad this is still getting some love. Minorest brush with fame...I went to HS with the guy that made this

ETA:
I very much dislike how the mouse continues to force writers to shoehorn new material into a framework that has a fixed beginning and a fixed end. With that said, I thought the Obi-Wan/Vader interaction was entertaining, if nonsensical. The last fight was way too dark (in the literal sense, not the literary sense).

I did not like the Obi-Wan/Leia interaction based on their relationship (or lack thereof) in Ep 4. Like some bizarro Force mind-wipe to make her forget the trauma or something would have been dumb but would at least serve to explain how she was not at least as moved as Luke was after Obi-Wan sacrificing himself.

This whole "you should have killed me when you had the chance" thing should become a meme

For people who liked the Obi Wan-Vader duel, did you watch Rebels? The half-mask thing was directly ripped off from there, and it was done better the first time.

I also thought Obi Wan suddenly becoming ultra strong in the force, to the point of going Vader mode and lifting 50 boulders at the same time and throwing them at Vader??? Was really stupid.

Hate to say it because the actress is getting a lot of undeserved (racist) hate, but the whole Reva thing just did not work and the show needed a LOT less Leia.

Honestly thought it was all really bad. And for context, I liked Mando and BoBF.

The whole think reeked of what would have been a very decent 2 hour movie, that was turned into a series for commercial reasons.

Reva and Leia clearly additions to the original script to flesh the time out.

It was dumb but it looked cool. I put my time into watching it so will take what I will from it.

Also is not rebels a cartoon? I doubt it looked as cool in a cartoon.

Its one of those shows/films/content where as the ephemera of the CGI set piece wears off, you realise more and more how terrible it was.

The really cynical fans (and even I'm not that bad) say that Obi-Wan being able to do that is just Disney's attempt to prove that it wasn't stupid that Rey was able to do the same thing in TLJ or whatever. And also things like his having this big adventure with Leia was put in to explain why the hell she would eventually name her kid Ben.

man that takes me back

Kenobi was great. F the haters.

That was what 3 lightsaber impalements--2 with same person, once as a little kid--and everyone's survived and walking around. Obi-Wan in a pit of fire hair still looks good.

Nothing should surprise me after Darth Maul came back I guess. It does make me appreciate the Snoke death you can tell they really didn't want to leave that door open

I like this one too

QFT. I just finished the series last night, it was worth the watch. I enjoyed it enough to hope for a second season (but don't see how they could write that in and remain cannon)

Gotta get back to Book of Fett, though. Never finished that one.

If you're fond of the Mandalorian then you definitely want to see BOBF through, since there are basically two full-on Mandalorian episodes (one of them exceptionally strong) in that season.

Not sure how I feel about an 20th century earth weapon at 0:06.

They’re called slugthrowers, bro. Did you think the Tusken Raiders were using blaster rifles?

I’m interested…yet another show where we know exactly what the end fate is for the main protagonist, but still looks good. I’m all for them doing more stories in the SW universe non Jedi/Skywalker centric.

Yeah I was always bullish on Andor since they announced it way back when. Seems like a lot of people complained because he wasn't super fleshed out in R1 and therefore didn't "deserve his own show", but I think it might just be a poor naming choice, I think people would have been fine with, say, a show called Rebel Scum that just happened to feature him prominently.

The trailers hint at it finally being a fairly dark, adult show that doesn't pull a lot of punches. But we'll see about that, it is Disney after all.

Just imagine how much less believable it is that everyone knows English.

Did not realise they were using actual kalashnikov's.

All I’m saying is that projectile-based, “normal” looking guns have been a part of the established lore since the very first movie.

The guns of the tuskan raiders dont look "normal" they look very well suited to there time and place and fit in with the semiotic and the aesthetic of the raiders, which is what you expect from Star Wars and has always been a strength of its world building.

Which is why its jarring to just see a gun pulled lazily straight from the props silo that could be used in any contemporary action flick etc.

It's no biggy and its not going to stop me watching etc, but to me it stood out.

Not really much to see here.
