I mean, Yoda sat within feet of arguably the most powerful dark side practitioner in history literally hundreds of times without having a single clue. A powerful dark side user most certainly could sneak up on a seasoned Jedi, especially one that maybe has been sitting on his ass in a forest hut for a while not exercising that particular muscle.

Plenty to criticize here but yet another Jedi being blind to danger isn't really one of them imo

Right but if palpatine wohlda pulled a red saber out in front of 8 Jedi, they might of noted it.


I mean seeing Maul for the first time raised quite a few questions…

But this dude, and Ki Adi Mundi forced cleared his own mind

this thread is too much of a beating to go back and find it, but I am about 99% positive someone called this 2 weeks ago when the goofy fuck was first introduced

Yup. Man I get tired of being right all the time.

Nah. Those guys were just guys who followed Kylo Ren, had dumb looking weapons, and had no Force powers. Massive waste of potential by JJ.

Yep.  Force "cloud" or whatever they call it.  They can minimize their force "footprint" down to basically zero.  They are of course completely unavailable to use any force abilities, but it's also camouflage.

Or idk, maybe the show just has bad writing, but I think there's a really neat story unfolding still

I wonder if they will keep the part of his lore that he was allowed to have like 6 wives due to his species having low birth rates.

Alright I'm just going to spoiler this whole post to be safe.  I think it's mostly worthless as I don't have faith that the storywriters have put something logical and consistent together, but it is fun nonetheless:

last minute made this one the best episode for me. Some continuity issues . I figured Disney would have an expert guy that would just review scripts and go " nah, can't do that"

Oh, and what's with the wookiee costume? ugh

$180 million. I just don't see it in the series

Filoni was Headland’s advisor on this so I don’t think he’s going to let there be continuity breaking stuff but maybe he will. Lucas bent continuity to his whims frequently

Always kind of annoyed me that in the games,  I could block/counter the force push, but the baddie shows up, and pushes Osha out of the way and then force pushes a group of masters and knights as if they were all unexpecting it.    It is literally what Mae did to some of them before.  

I can see what they were going for with Osha/Jord.  But the execution seems pretty off and it comes off threaded.

With the canon and George, I think he made it like Star Trek where they were separated from his original ideas but he tried to keep the continuity there when it was possible. At the end of the day, it was always George’s call.

With Ki-Adi-Mundi, he was in three films and was in the clone wars. I believe he was a part of an important Genonosis arc. Everything else was outside of George’s scope more than likely. They’re obviously going a step further with his line from TPM and having him there adds to the mystery right now.

Episode 4 was by far the best but in no way meaningfully redemptive.  Yord has to be the most unlikable Jedi character imaginable, with Vernestra nipping at his heels.  Even if the plot/writing were dramatically better, it would not be enough to overcome the terrible casting/acting.

E4 wasn’t bad. The writing was still atrocious but it was better than 1-3. I wonder if they filmed this series in episode and scene order which is uncommon. Sol’s delivery has steadily improved with each scene. I thought he was pretty wooden in E1 and his acting has just gotten better. The mop headed Jedi has not improved. I can’t believe he’s a working actor.

I still don’t understand where $180M was spent. The episode’s production value looked closer to Land of the Lost than Star Wars.

Yes to all of this. The Jedi are nerfed in this series. Up until now in any previous Star Wars setting when you had that many Jedi in one place they would wreck shop.

Instead, some goofy looking Kylo Ren cosplayer with a home made outfit just force blasts all the Jedi. The Wookie Jedi went down like he was passed out in a chair with an empty bottle of Jack Daniels in his hand.

The more I think about it, the more I think this is an accounting trick where they are saddling fees in to the costs of this production, such as the rights to buy Star Wars from LucasArts or the studio that Favreau built for Mando (even if they don't use it).   Maybe this is how they bloat the budget for the show, give the director the ability to brag she did a $180 million dollar series, but really only had a much smaller portion at her disposal.    Supposedly, the Wookie Jedi fight scene was cut to to funding according to one thing I read online.   So that doesn't match-up with the listed budget.

“I’m gonna need that blaster from you.”

“No.”

Or a safe place to dump paper expenses and cover for other bloated projects.

They did two separate rewrites.  The original budget was $75MM, which is still plenty of money.  Revenge of the Sith had a budget a tad over $100MM

Sith being (which I think is somehow their mom) is standing right next to Osha and all the Jedi could say was "stand down."  Like Sol, did you not sense her there?  The Force is not strong within these Jedi and Padawan.  The highlight of his skills so far was slicing a giant june bug in half.

Fucking dying at conservative media calling this woke and political and then praising Andor in the next sentence. 

It was about a resistance against a fascist government. How much more political can you get?

It was no different in TPM when Darth Maul is on Tatooine and Qui Gon doesn’t sense him until he almost runs down Anakin. It’s like spotting a rare creature that you’ve never laid eyes on. Also, dark side as we’ve seen in the prequels is a lot stronger than the Jedi. This is something none of them have experienced. Also, Sol may be clouded by what happened on Osha’s planet. And it’s not the mom but I feel the mom maybe the Sith master.
