SPOILER Official Obi-Wan Disney+ Series - Discussion

Going to google, looks like they were the Black Sun people that Maul and Savage went after when they were working with Death Watch.

 

The entire plot of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series is Jules' speech from Pulp Fiction

"Ezekiel 25:17

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and goodwill shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know My name is the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon thee"

 

Pardon me for interrupting the discussion of lightsaber colors and death symbols for a brief little take:

I'm not 100% positive of this but, based upon repeat viewings, I believe the last 'hero shot' of Obi-wan heading off into the sunset(s) is looking at Beggar's Canyon.

 

Ah okay. So yes it is the first then!

The cartoons don't count (bite me)

 

So... Ned-B and Bumblebee. Are they related?

Both are mute and share the same surname, although according to the Aurebesh writing on Ned-B's chest, his designation is Ned-W.

 

I know a lot has been said and written about Hayden Christianson's appearances -- or specifically, lack of them -- in the Obi-wan show. FWIW, I believe THIS ONE SHOT is worth whatever they paid him (and more) for his work. This camera shot is destined to be an iconic one.

 

Has someone watched Obi-Wan Kenobi "Patterson Cut"?

A fan released a cut of 2 hours and a half movie. I started yestarday (with 45 min left) and honestly, must say works far better as a movie.

The following lines contains spoilers from Obi Wan Kenobi show, just in case.




A lot of silly moments are not in it and we can clearly appreciate the importance of the editing process in shows and movies. Is not perfect cause there a couple of subtle cuts, but in general there are some really very good decisions. There are a lot of original shots and scenes that tells a lot and the editor has made the decision to eliminate redundant elements (there are a lot) and the story moves forward wisely.
Although, of course, some of the weakest moments and directing parts, bad dialogs and bad actings, that could not be removed for obvious reasons, are there. And yes, are more noticeable.

You have to excuse me, cause although is great to see all characters there, but we (ok, I can, a personal opinion, and nothing to do with her persona, as Pernilla August is very bad too in TPM) can clearly appreciate Moses Ingram is quite bad in her role. She tries so hard but she has a completly unnatural acting in OW. I have rewatched her moments in Queen's Gambit and other roles and she acts completly different and far better than in OW show. And little Leia is so cute and all that but her acting is not very natural either and is so distracting.

But yes, there are much fewer scenes with leia (there is not the sensation of OW and Leia taking a long vacation adventure together which is quite good and better for R2 message), and Reva (as a lot of of other characters, not only her) has less screentime.
There is no chase in the woods (brilliantly finished), Anchorehead scenes are fewer, there is no awkard dialogs on the truckspeeder with stormtroopers, no absurd dialogs with Roken and Haja, the cape scape is precipitated but it's far better looking and 1000 times less silly, and sometimes the music is more noticed everywhere.

In general terms I prefer this cut. Maybe in the future i will only watch this version. Who knows.

PD laser fence scene is still there, but shorter XD

 

I was wondering when someone would try to reverse engineer the screenplay. A story for a movie gets artificially expanded to work as a miniseries, then gets cut back down to feature length again by a fan editor. Read/write culture is so interesting.

That, or it's some weird Wampa-sushi shop.​

Once in a blue milk colored moon, some things are worth breaking your own rules for....

Best 10 minutes the show produced, streamlined.​

 

I've not been too involved in discussions lately. However, here's a piece I've written for TheGamer :

Be honoured if you guys were to check it out. After all, you have to listen to me babble on here!

Actually, I should've asked your opinions on it anonymously! Slipper slope, though.

 

Good piece, man. Congratulations

 

This is glorious!

 

I enjoyed each episode as it was at the time. I also senses that an uninterrupted feature length version would play very well and find that idea desirable. I don't intend to watch a fan edit though. I'd prefer it if LFL turned it into one. But why would they? Even if they agreed that a feature length version was viable, I don't think they would effectively render the series, and the work done by people to present it that way, obsolete or redundant. Unless it was perhaps for a physical release, an exclusive deal for another platform perhaps. Or a limited theatrical special release. Only the last of those seems in any way likely though.

 

At the end I guess is all about feelings.
My opinion is ST had more continuous, connected, and coherent work with the saga than OW or TBOBF.

Like RO or Solo more than PT, to take another exemple.

When the saga fails in little details of connections is where it seems weaker.
