You know something that pisses me off when people defend the Acolyte? When people use the argument of “Maybe not all Star Wars is meant to be for you!” That’s honestly a BS argument because if something that’s supposed to be a Star Wars product is not meant for all Star Wars fans then that should be an immediate red flag
Whoever thought it was a good idea to make Luke milk that blue milk producing beast from the groin as it moaned…..who am I kidding. Everyone working on this product (the people making the decisions ) were NOT Star Wars fans
9:50 Osha killing Sol was the sake of wish fulfillment. She stopped a man from mansplaining. Seriously. That's where Headland expected to get applause.
I'm kinda glad you pointed out Sabine's motivation. Honestly, she is in love with Ezra. Yet the show dosen't want to admit that is the case, which leads to a lot of confusion.
One thing I'd also like to add is that while it is fine for characters to change, make mistakes etc. None of the changes were believable or justified (i.e. there was no reason for them to change so much; Luke trying to kill his nephew instead of trying to save him like with his father was a dumb move from a story telling perspective). Truth is , none of the character changes were adequately explained. They just happened. Like Palpatine's return (which, I know, they explained it in the whole cloning thing but come on that movie sucked for a whole host of reasons, the cloning thing being one of them).
Disney / Lucasfilm if you want success let me pitch and hire me to write stories for movies. I have stories to out pace The Infinity Saga! Have Hope fans!
I'm starting to think that the only way to save Star Wars is to destroy, make it as worthless as possible, and rebuild it into what it was by real fans

It best for Star Wars to end too many bad shows and movies with an obsession making good guys (specifically male characters) lame and making villains sympathetic victims but it just dumb. I hate kylo ren/Ben solo he pretty much the reason why the og characters is ruin. I say NO MORE.
In Kennedyfilm’s hands, yes, best for Star Wars to take a long break. Agreed on all points. Awful films, series, character deconstructions, messaging… We’re suffering the worst era for the IP, and it might continue for many years. Thanks for your comment.
I think you are wrong about what you said here about the Kenobi show. 1. Kenobi’s depression - this is realistic because of his extreme isolation and suddenly incredibly boring life after having so much crazy adventure and a fulfilling job as a Jedi, and makes his character better. Social isolation is torture and literally does cause depression in case you forgot. He’s still human. His resilience is still there, he doesn’t turn to the darkside, doesn’t wallow in hate for those who ruined/stole his life, and doesn’t give up on his mission. I did not see a person who felt sorry for himself. Obi continues trying to communicate with Qui-Gon but doesn’t realize that he has unconsciously cut himself off from the Force, which happened to quite a few of the survivors of the Clone Wars and Order 66. The same thing also happened in the Mandalorian war in legends. War makes Jedi weaker in the Force, and causes some to cut off semi permanently or permanently, or turn to the darkside. The Force is extremely unbalanced and tainted with darkness at that point in time as well. The show is a masterclass in PTSD, depression and trauma, and the recovery is a chef’s kiss. It hits hard in the chest and I love all of it about Obi-Wan. That was perfect. “Stalking Lars homestead” lol that’s normal for Obi-Wan, that’s basically the same thing he does in legends continuity with some exceptions, and does not have a close personal relationship with Luke by the time of A New Hope. He is more like a friendly neighbor that Luke sees in passing, and Luke does not know anything about Obi-Wan other than he’s a nice guy but his uncle doesn’t like him and thinks he’s a crazy wizard. Sorry that they showed the actual monotony of what Obi-Wan’s life is like about 85% of the time even in legends continuity- it sucks, it’s boring, no one appreciates him, he doesn’t even have a rewarding relationship with Luke, and the environment prematurely ages him. Yeah we saw Obi-Wan go through all kinds of horrible stuff in the movies and clone wars show, but he was never alone and always had something challenging do to keep his brilliant mind busy. The Tatooine exile is a triple-whammy. In fact if we just see him breezing through it remaining his buoyant self, it would seem more like Order 66 and Anakin’s fall and unresolved guilt did not hurt him that badly. He was already my favorite character and this show just made me like him even more. 2. Reva’s violence - this criticism only comes from people who struggle with empathetic reasoning, don’t understand how the Force works or how the darkside is addictive and corrupts everything about you. Just look at how Dooku strayed from his original reason for joining the Sith - by the end of his life he is so twisted by the darkside that he does monstrous things to innocent civilians, when injustice against the common people is precisely why he chose that path in the first place. Reva is not morally ambiguous, she is evil. All the darksiders are evil, just in varying degrees. She becomes what she hates, just like Anakin did. This is a common theme in Star Wars where originally decent people who turn to the darkside never get what they want and often end up destroying the very reason they turn to the darkside in the first place. It’s a morality tale. Yes she does go over the top in her violence, because her first introduction to darksiders is: they are terrifying mindless savage monsters who slaughter children for no reason, that’s how a child would see it, and she is trying to fit in with the other darksiders. Her rationale is childlike and that’s realistic as well, extreme childhood trauma halting people’s emotional development happens all the time in the real world. She sees monsters and is trying to emulate them in order to get close enough to Vader to kill him in revenge for killing her personal friends and ruining her life (Maul’s rationale & obsession with Obi-Wan is also childlike & insane btw and he’s one of my favorite characters. Anakin’s worldview is childlike too). They don’t fall for Reva’s act because she’s not very good at it, and that’s okay. Also, Vader himself is a monster and excessively violent for stupid reasons to the point where Sidious has to tell him to stop killing Imperial officers for no good reason bc they will run out of skilled workers. He is extremely evil. Vader acts like that because he believes he is a monster for everything he has done to his loved ones. These are the monsters Reva sees, and in fact it’s what everyone should see who does not get all the insider details & explanations like we the audience does. Reva is a victim but that is actually keeping with Star Wars tradition. A lot of characters fall to the darkside because something terrible happened to them or they found themselves in a tough situation (this is actually why the Jedi Order, the institution and techniques including training from toddlerhood and banning attachment, are good and necessary to prevent more people falling to the darkside). Most of people’s favorite darkside characters are victims of some kind of circumstance, such as Maul who is the second most tragic character in Star Wars behind Obi-Wan (no, the most tragic character is not Anakin actually). In fact, she is not even unique among Order 66 child survivors, a bunch of them turned to the darkside in the lore. So your criticisms of the Kenobi show are exceptionally bad. There’s other things to criticize about the show but these two characters, no. And it really does look like fans are holding a double standard on Reva when there’s nothing unusual or even really new about her character. Your criticism about the sequels - I usually just pretend those movies don’t exist. They completely violate G-canon in a way that the Kenobi show does not. Acolyte - I didn’t watch it yet
My god, you need a life kid😂🤦🏻 and no, Reva is not a victim... She literally just uses that nonsense to victimize herself and justify her actions... Stop making excuses... Obi-Wan had optimism about Luke and the future because that's why he stuck around to keep an eye on Luke.. the whole depression excuse is lame... There are so many things wrong with your criticisms here
Now, I will be the first to say that Star Bores under KK has been abysmal! One or two series did show some promise, though sacking Gina Carano was really stupid! On the whole virtue signalling and entertainment doesn't mix!
I agree that Kenobi shouldn't have been depressed. His whole family died and he lost his friends, his brother, and his big lizard boi, and also has to watch over a child, aka the living reminder of his failures, but that's okay. No biggie.
Thank you for your comment. The sarcasm is strong with you. Unfortunately, you’ve confused your likely, real-world reaction to fictional events with Kenobi’s fictional reaction to fictional events. He was the quintessential Jedi Master: unflappable, sly, chivalrous, and-most importantly-committed to the will of the Force. As Qui Gon taught him, he trusted the Force to guide him. He faced incomparable trials and tribulations during The Clone Wars, but he always found his equilibrium thanks to his relationship with the Force. Did he EVER crack under pressure? Did he EVER lose his temper? Did he EVER despair when he faced the darkness, including Anakin’s fall and his own death? No! NEVER! NOT ONCE! He was a model of selfless detachment. On Mustafar, he displayed surprise, incredulity, sadness, and regret, but he did his duty. Afterward, his characteristic affability quickly returned. His beaming reaction to Yoda’s mention of Qui Gon on the Tantive IV and his thoughtful expression as he handed Luke to Owen and Beru on Tatooine indicate his state of mind. He found balance by coming to terms with his circumstances… by trusting the Force. When he appeared in Episode IV, he was even cooler than before. You’re projecting PTSD on him, but he’s a fictional character. ALL observable, on-screen evidence points to calm and collected. We don’t live in a faraway galaxy, commune with the Force, fight battles against droid armies and Sith lords, and lose our best friends to the Dark Side. Trust what Lucas showed us. The series’ premise was an uncharacteristic, off-screen pivot to despair, self-pity, rejection of the Force, etc. Sorry, I don’t buy it. Neither should you.
@ “Did he ever lose his temper?” I recall a certain quote from Darth Maul. “Your rage has unbalanced you, that is not the Jedi way.” Not to mention his mental breakdown after nearly murdering his brother. I think Obi wan is completely in the right to feel upset.
@ I recall the moment when Maul taunted Kenobi. As usual, Maul misread the situation. He’d been torturing Kenobi and wrongfully thought he could elicit anger with mention of Qui Gon’s death. If you recall, Kenobi didn’t react. The Jedi didn’t say a word. I witnessed no mental breakdown after Anakin’s fall. What do you mean?
@ Haha. Screaming is an exaggeration. I’ll accept yelling. Yes, Kenobi showed emotion on Mustafar, but, as I pointed out, he regained his renowned composure by the time he reached the Tantive IV. A “mental breakdown” would last longer than one day, no? The series would have us believe Kenobi hit the skids for years. Not so.

Disney Star wars sucks George Lucas Star wars is good it has potholes what is still better then Disney Star wars
The sequels tore down the original characters to lift their newer characters and it was the worst piece of sabatoge media I've ever seen!
One thing I'd also like to add is that while it is fine for characters to change, make mistakes etc. None of the changes were believable or justified (i.e. there was no reason for them to change so much; Luke trying to kill his nephew instead of trying to save him like with his father was a dumb move from a story telling perspective).
