KENOBI!!! OMG

Just watched the first episode and was pretty underwhelmed, I’ll be honest. Pretty subpar acting, except for Ewan McGregor. I expected better. And why is John Williams’ score completely excluded? Would have made a big difference.

Very true to her personality in the first two films.

No. I am not going to hear this slam on Carrie Fisher.

I find this kid extraordinarily irritating and you are always aware she is ACT-ING! Disney transported it's patented brand of kid sass over to this production and it's annoying. I will give her that speech to her cousin. That was good. But, she's supposed to be 10. She looks like a 6 year old.

I don't know. I am just not wowed so far. The storyline is kind of meh.

One thing that bugs me about this show: Luke and Leia are supposed to be 10 and in “A New Hope” they are probably early to mid-20s at most. Yet Ewan McGregor definitely does not look like he’s 10 years away from Alec Guinness. He looks a lot younger. Yes I know this is splitting hairs, but I can’t get over it. The director should have aged Ewan McGregor a bit more.

^^Forgot to mention Indira Varma, who I have loved since Rome. I was excited to see her and hope she gets more of a role than Leia's babysitter.

I read there was all this online hate against Moses Ingram, playing Reva. I think she plays that role well. It's just not much of a role IMO.

I blame the director. The character comes off as a typical, cliched bad guy. No nuance or complexity to make it even slightly interesting.

Ewan McGregor was definitely the best actor, like head and shoulders above everyone else to an almost distracting degree. But then again I feel like the SW films, especially the original trilogy and eps. I-III weren’t really known for acting.

There are pics of Alec Guinness in his 50s and he looked much younger than he did in Episode 4. A person can age a lot in a decade.

DP. Didn't think it was a slam on Carrie Fisher - I thought it was accurate.

I don't think that kid Leia is a brat but she's very princess-y - as was Carrie Fisher. And I think the child actor looks around 7 but she's actually 9/10, so just a kid who is little. Carrie Fisher was a very small person, too, fwiw, she was 5'1".

Each episode is better. The third episode has been the best so far.

One problem for me is that I can’t turn off the damn motion smoothing (aka “soap opera effect”) so I feel like a member of the film crew watching the actors read their lines. It’s really distracting. Anyone know how to fix this? Or is it impossible with new shows?

I know, it’s like they threw him into a Hallmark movie or something. The actors around him are that bad.

The latest sequel trilogy had some of the worst overacting of all time. This show is a lot better than that and they’ve learned from their mistakes.
