So if I’m Anakin and I’m making my new super villain suit I think the top of my list would be making the suit fireproof, just sayin😆

I just watched the 1st 2 episodes and like the previous Disney Star Wars offerings I did enjoy very much so far. (I’m a casual Star Wars fans - enjoy the movies and shows but don’t read the books or comics).

What has bothered me and continues to bother me during these shows is there is one character per show that just annoys the hell out of me. The Mandalorian and Boba Fett had Pelli Motto - just poor acting, poor character; poor lines. And for this show my focus is on this “3rd sister”. I’m just not feeling it. I don’t know if it’s her lines; her acting; the scowls when acting… but my gosh … something is annoying there and not very good at giving a feeling of dread & fear about the character

Episode 3 was better. Young Leia is still annoying and pointless. Third Sister isnt much better. I dont care about the Inquisitors.

But really, the fans just want scenes with Darth Vader and Obi Wan. Thats all

Looking forward to it! (when I get the chance to finally watch). Maybe during “work” today :wink:

Inquisitors should just be absolute terror invoking bad asses. Fear with just a simple glance. The loud, over the top, let me see your war face, business doesn’t work for them.

I think of characters like the Yul Brunner’s cowboy in Westworld, Robert Patrick’s (or even Arnolds Terminator), Rebecca Ferguson’s Rose the Hat in Doctor Sleep, Angelina as Maleficent (when she’s bad), Michael Biehn’s Johnny Ringo. Many examples out there.

Just a few examples of really intimidating bad asses that accomplished it by the less is more deal.

Remember when we first met Vader way back when…good lord he was intimidating. These inquisitors should be the same way. They seem like a bunch of clowns to me.

Yea the 3rd Sister is HORRIBLE in every aspect of the show but now I feel bad b/c the actor has received so much hateful backlash already.

I honestly didn’t even know about the backlash.
But I figured I wasn’t the only one who felt this way.

Yea Moses Ingram is the actresses name. There’s been a bunch of articles on it at this point. Ewan McGregor even made a video to address it.

I’m not really seeing the problem with the Third Sister that people are voicing. She’s supposed to be a lackey of the Grand Inquisitor who is in turn a lackey of Vader and the Emperor. They all strive to be menacing and fearsome, but obviously none hold a candle to Vader. She’s supposed to be brash, forceful, and impulsive. She’s doing all of that.

If what I think is going to happen plays out- she gets offed by either the Grand Inquisitor or Vader- she will have fulfilled the narrative role perfectly. An Icarus character who’s ambition leads them far too close to calamity and they do not survive. Frankly, with her knowledge of Leia’s relationship to Anakin, and her knowledge that Vader is Anakin, I don’t think she can be allowed to survive just based on the logic of continuity and storytelling.

She reminds me of tediously ambitious and overbearing law students and colleagues in the legal field. The type you roll your eyes at because you know there is something so much worse waiting for them than what they are dishing out.

100% agree and I think there is a zero percent chance she survives.

I spent way too much time on this

I think it’s valid you don’t like the character because the characteristics of the character, but to say the actor is bad because you don’t like the character is kind of missing the point. Some characters are characters we are not supposed to like.

Then you know you’re doing it right.

Just got the email for the Ewan McGregor CGC signing… $325 is better than some, but still a little salty for me.
