The final duel was pretty epic to be fair, in giving fans a good Vader vs Obi-Wan fight, unlike their first encounter in this and the old man Death Star duel in A New Hope and not to be confused with Anakin vs Obi-Wan in the prequel. The same way they gave fans their Luke moment in Mando.
So much to tie up in the final 15 or so mins, some of it felt rushed. The final scene with Leia also felt like they finally just said fuck it and wiped their arses on A New Hope script all together, but maybe it didnāt? Need to watch it again. Ended with a strong tease on a second series already in the works too.
I felt like it ended as a closed story.
Or did I miss something?
It was a good episode. Just a bit tough to see on a bright day like today.

Going off with Qui Gon Jinn, like they were off on more adventures and learning, haha. It also wrapped it up so that he didnāt really need to be on Tatooine as much any more and could go to different places as well.
I enjoyed it. Yep, problems for sure but Obi Wan vs Vader was cool and overall had some alright moments.
The whole Reva vs Luke story line was meh. Why even bother, unless you just want an Aunt Beru is Badass show to spin off from this 
The Vader vs Obi Wan was cheesy until it wasnāt. They definitely managed to fix most of the canon after a few things fucked it up in earlier episodes.
Finally watched the finale. Overall I think the series was fine. Didnāt add anything really but didnāt take anything away. And I really enjoyed the Obi Wan and Vader battle in the last episode.
With a character like Obi Wan itās always gonna be hard to live up to expectation, and I feel the only way it could of is if it had been set Clone Wars era. But we have the clone wars tv show so is it all that necessary?
Something I hate to admit is that I donāt find myself getting giddy over Star Wars these days. The last trilogy really killed that for me. Especially Rise of Skywalker. For all the shit the prequels get at least their was a rough plan, and they added to the overall story. The final trilogy went nowhere and did nothing and there were so many plot holes and bad ideas itās a joke.
Anywho back to OWK - it was fine. Thatās it.

Yeah, this. A good watch.
And of those newer films, you are right. TFA was fun but Rogue One was really the only good oneā¦

Rogue One was great. Solo - alright - but I went in with low expectations. Anything within the āskywalker sagaā was fucked by JJ and KK and thatās why Rogue One stands out. Same universe, same goings on around it, but from a different point of view with new characters.
Jon Fav and Dave Filloni have saved it a bit recently with Mando and BOBF.

I enjoy Solo far more that I should and Iāve liked it more on repeat viewings. Really regretted not going to the cinema to see it, but the release wasnāt that long after that horrible one in the middle of the last three
The next new Star Wars TV series is based around Rouge One, āAndorā (Captain Cassian Andor from Rouge One), so there is still time for Disney to mess it up yet!

Just watched the first 3 episodes of Andor. Perfect so far. First expletive Iāve heard in Star Wars that wasnāt in Huttese.
ā¦Remember This Is The Spoilers Thread, So Expect Spoilersā¦
Iād been hearing how Andor was going to be the first Star Wars project aimed at an older audience but yeah, it still felt like they had forgotten to edit it out. It was great seeing the out of shape commanders and soldiers with no battle experience, as theyād got used to smoothly controlling everything with no residence anymore, with low level corruption in how people in power cared more about their cushy lives and keeping their secret bars/brothels open than solving the killings of their own troops.
Too much to condense from three episodes.
Andor being taken from his idilic world to that cold, dirty, lived in modern environment, is giving it a nice back story to the back story (I think heāll go back to his roots to hide at some point, but Iām usually wrong).
The droids look great, the ships looked great, the costumes looked great. The acting was some of the best in Star Wars. Looking forward to watching moreā¦
personally found the first episode enjoyable so i hope its not going to be bad
Iām hoping they explain that too? Bad judgment call too have some sort of lightsaber weapon in there (as this is the no Jedi or lightsaber series) or some tech only that ship had? Like how only Mandalorianās seem to use Beskar, itās not like The Empire couldnāt of just took a load of it, if it wanted.
First three were solid but I felt like there was a lot packed in there. I might actually rewatch before carrying onā¦
Pre-lightsaber? As in they donāt exist yet? They are forming the rebellion that get the plans to blow up the Death Star remember? Kyber crystals and lightsabers have been around for a very, very long time. Itās just that Obi Wan and Yoda are in hiding at this point, so you wonāt see any Jedi but Darth Vader is running around with one.

Skipping the spoilers here to say Iāve just rewatched Rogue One for the first time since seeing it in the cinema and itās still banging. Best Star Wars movie for me, largely as it doesnāt have annoying kid-friendly gimmicks like JarJar Binks or C3PO.

Watched the first two episodes of Andor last night and will watch the third this evening. I thought the first episode was great, but the second one didnāt really do anything for me.
