Well, everything didn’t happen in the order laid out in the leak above, but overall it tracked very well.

Episode 1 was clunky. Terrible shaky cam and shots. Story was sup-par.

Episode 2 reminded me of the unproduced George Lucas Star Wars show, Underworld. Story was a little better. Cinematography was good.

I’d say the worst part so far is including Leia. She’s terribly written. Nobody seems to be able to catch her. She does and says the dumbest things.

Yup. Rogue One and Solo also seemed to take some aspects from that show after taking a look at the video from a few years back.

No big complaints, but Reva (actress) doesn’t work for me. Can’t put my finger on it. Just seems to be trying too hard to be bad. Doesn’t come across as intimidating nor menacing to me. Minor thing, enjoyed it overall.

The whole “rooftop acrobatics” was laughable. What the ■■■■ is this ? The Matrix ?

Haha…oh now i can’t wait to watch this later today!

Anyone notice the old, broke clone trooper in episode 2 ?

Now that, that was a good idea to include.

My only concern is how much time Leia and Obi Wan are spending together. In Episode IV, when Leia records her distress message she says, “General Kenobi, years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars. Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire.”

That sounds like she has never met him and has only heard of him from her father. Since they’re spending so much time together, don’t you think she’d just say, “Obi Wan, remember when you rescued me from kidnappers? We need your help again.”

Not sure how or if they’ll try to fix this. Maybe it’s not a big deal.

I enjoyed the show. Reva’s final actions on that freight dock were a big surprise!

Personally, I really enjoyed Leia. That’s a strong-willed kid. That’s literally what they act like every day.

From reading Leia’s books and manga, that’s pretty much her as a kid.

What I don’t get is how Leia evade’s Vader’s interest if Reva is aware of her relationship to Anakin and if Reva is also aware of Anakin’s new identity as Vader.

At any rate, I enjoyed Rupert Friend as Grand Inquisitor, Ewan did as great as expected. That glimpse of Hayden was chilling. Kumail’s character was a great bit of levity.

It was a nice touch. A sparingly used Easter egg that spoke volumes. It links it all back to the Empire phasing out clones as seen in Bad Batch.

She could be withholding information from him and reporting directly to Palpatine. Palpatine repaired Vader with inferior technology on purpose, and always seemed to take advantage of any power or information to keep Vader under his boot. Not sure if that’s what’s going on, but it would build on that complicated relationship we’ve seen in the comics.

True. So far we’re only aware that Reva, the grand inquisitor, Fifth Brother, and the other female inquisitor know of the Leia and Vader connection.



I think we’ll see a showdown between Reva and Vader.

At first I was like, oh this is how she knows “of” him…”you helped me when I was young, so I know you can help me now.”

But yes, the more they interact, the more that scene contradicts.

But here are my two hypothesis’s:

(1) she thinks he may not remember her as she was just a child and Jedi meet lots of interesting people in their journeys.

(2) Her mind was wiped.

And an far out idea just for fun:

(3) Maybe the adult Leia in E4 thru E9 is a clone!!!

Actually, I’m sure in the last episode Ben will realize Leia mentioning him as if they interacted at one time is a threat to keeping Luke hidden on Tatooine, and tell her “for your safety and mine, we must speak as if we never met each other from this day forth.)

Cheesey, but it will keep all us nerds at arms length.

An Obi Wan/Vader team-up to take down the Inquisitors, you say…

Probably just Vader in a fit of rage after realizing some of them have crossed him.

But, that would be cool.

“I sense something; a presence I have not felt since… we teamed up and kicked some treasonous Inquisitor ass”
