    I believe Generation tech is 100% correct with all his ideas with why the finale is wrong. But to be honest it’s a child’s show so in there eyes they know nothing different but for us adults it’s what we do :) we just love picking out the mistakes. Check out this video below. My favourite point from him is why did the dome need to be blown up in the air. This meant the remains and the shrapnel had more of a damage radius as it is higher up therefore, probably killing more people than just blowing up on the ground would. Meaning more civilians probably died due to the vast explosion radius. Check out the video below. Share your thoughts and everything wrong with the finale and battle of Lothal.

    If this can live in a asteroid within a asteroid belt with no known food source and can survive in vacuum of space...

    With this weird creature living inside it (with no known food source)....

    Then a hyper space, space whale is not too far fetched.

    It appeared in my youtube list yesterday, but I avoided it, y'know, it's clear from the title that they are going to cry like b complaining about this, this and that. I like some of their videos, I really do, but just a very small number. Nothing comparing to SW Explained :cool:

    What is it with star wars fans' obsession with things they don't like or believe are wrong?

    I have to disagree. 95% of YouTube vloggers are not critics. They're vloggers. Their opinion is as good as yours or mine and they have a right to post their opinions. They just choose to voice it in a way that shows up in my YouTube feed. Honestly, I get tired of all the negativity because its not what they wanted. Nine times out of ten, fans who vlog on any fandom look at things through their emotional lens, voice their opinion as fact and take anyone else's opinion as wrong. In other words, they can't be objective. A good, real critic can make that distinction.

    I find very little interesting in many of those videos.

    I see what your saying to be honest I quite agree with you to some extent. However the points he does say make sense. I understand it is all opinion based. It’s not allways negative though he did a everything correct with the Rebels finale. He was just stating what he thought was slightly odd or not quite correct. People should be able to voice there own opinions and ideas. It’s true with what you said about the emotional side of things so it can be quite forced and selfish to a point. I think his points are valid and some do make sense. Now I look over this and to be honest I’m not sure if I agree with all of his points.

    And I can absolutely respect your opinion.

    Honestly, I haven't watched the video. But when you suggest this person is a critic as a job? With a video title like that? Yeah, sorry, that's where I disagree.

    Problem with that is the entire 'exposure' of the 'critic' (an outdated term, IMO - 'commentators' is better) is reliant on YT algorithms and clicky-content. It's why CinemaSins, RLM, and plenty of others end up with polarizing and ultimately salty - as in 'taken with an entire bucket of salt' opinions (although RLM is more clear in their curmudgeon-ness, lol) They mix honest commentary and analysis with overreach to make it more clickable. Sure, some of them are clear about their approaches, and the audience can better 'curate' what we choose to pay attention to according to how we as fans approach different works, but more often then not their approach gets muddled by clickbait and algorithm requirements. If he wanted a nuanced and honest conversation, he wouldn't make two (2) videos for two (2) clicks.

    "Once you start down the clickbait path, forever will it dominate your destiny." (this should be a t-shirt, or emoji shirt)

    I think it's the culture of negativity that bothers me.

    It this was a "Review" of the episode, that would be fine. But a video specifically created to highlight perceived flaws just seems pessimistic to me. That's the kind of person that, a few years ago, would've been singled out as "not fun at parties". Now, people eat it up on YouTube, and it's made everyone think that they're a critic, regardless of the fact that while everyone is obviously entitled to their opinion, film criticism is actually far more nuanced than "me like/me not like".

    Based on the reviews he makes, it is almost like he watched it muted. If you listened to the dialog, all of his issue were handled. For Example.. Thrawn bombarded the city because he needed Ezra to surrender to him, per the Emperor's wishes. Firing a turbo laser into the command center and killing him would have put old Sheev off a bit I would think. His goal was to take Ezra to the reconstructed temple section onboard the destroyer so the Emperor could trick him into opening the portal... That is just one example where listening is beneficial.

    Right, that's another big problem with this culture of negativity- overreaching. People are so excited to point out their perceived flaws for some reason that they don't stop to bother and fact check themselves.

    You saw this with the "Why do the bombs fall at the beginning of TLJ" crowd. They didn't even consider that since there was gravity in the bomber the simple law of inertia would've made them fall, nor did they bother doing any research since aside from Newton's laws LFL also accounted for this by making the bombs magnetized. Plus, it's not like we knew the gravity anyway, since they were relatively close to the planet.

    People rush into stuff like this and look like fools.

    I have not watched the video, but did Hera not say that the dome was "above the sea" when it exploded?

    I do seem to remember that I was a little confused about Hera's statement, because I did not recall seeing a sea on Lothal in any of the previous episodes (I am not saying that there cannot be a sea on Lothal; I am only saying that I noticed the statement, because I could not recall there being a sea on Lothal).

    I do enjoy watching Cinema Sins and Red Letter Media, because they are funny and sometimes hit on some truths. However, many of the other video channels are just humorless and boring.

    I like some of this guy's videos, but I'm not the biggest fan of this series. At the end of the day, Star Wars is first and foremost entertainment. Of course everything isn't going to be strategically sound, but if it progresses the narrative then that's what is more important.

    That guy has such a great name too ;)

    It's fun to nitpick and obsess over the things you love, at least media wise. Don't do this to your partners :S

    I agree with this a ton. I think part of it is their over attachment to their ideas, thinking they are right. There was a terrible reddit thread where a dude listed like 100 plot holes in TLJ and offered potential fixes. An example was:

    46) Holdo's purple hair. Fix: Don't do that.

    I certainly have opinions too. I just don't like to think they are better or more correct than other peoples.
