    I wonder if Reva’s obsession with Obi-wan is more personal than just wanting acceptance and praise.

    Bail likely knew the importance of the "radio-silence"-rule. Any comm traffic to Obi-wan or Yoda could be traced. Whether or not Bail knew Vader was alive was inconsequential to keeping the twins safe. Heck, the less Bail saw of Vader, the better. The running theory is Vader only came out when needed. His appearance was more mythical with the Inquisitors doing most of the hunting while Vader only came out against the tougher Jedi or when they failed. The Imperial Army only saw him when they needed "motivation" or a matters of importance to Vader or the Emperor. I would imagine Vader spent more time in the Bacta tank than we thought, especially during the first years after ROTS. The surviving Jedi went to ground after Order 66. Cal Kestis (Junk guild scavanger), Obi-wan (meat processing plant), Kanan Jarrus (cargo hauling/smuggling), they all likely took meaningless jobs and kept a low-profile. Forged chain-codes, no Holonet presence, no name to property, etc.

    I guess something has to pass between the seasons of Bad Batch. Gotta keep 'dem animators employed.

    So it's set around the same time time as Obi-Wan.

    Considering Obi-Wan and Boba Fett both filmed in late 2020 and location filming was..heavily restricted. I think they made good with what they had. Obi-Wan doesn't need expansive landscape shots for a guy who's supposed to be maintaining a low profile. Spoilerish comments on Ep 1&2

    Bumping the thread since the Bad Batch panel will be on Sunday, May 29 and Season 2 trailer will likely be posted afterwards.

    Star Wars Celebration 2022 started today. 🤷‍♂️ * The Mandalorian season 3 trailer should be posted soon; premieres Feb 2023. https://twitter.com/themandalorian/status/1529898551748087808 * A new series, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew TV series will be coming to Disney+ in 2023 as well. Those at the keynote were also presented with theme to Obi-Wan Kenobi, which most of us will hear later.

    Genevieve O’Reilly (Mon Mothma) is in this series. Guess we're that close to the Senate.

    Notes for Season 2: Get rid of useless B-plots. They have to tie into the main story or else you're wasting time. There are other ways to make filler eps. Useless B-plots are not one of them. CGI needs to be a wee-bit more consistent. The Sangheili started looking like they were built like Brutes in the pilot ep, then fine afterwards. Weapons... * Fix the armor or CG it so that the Spartans are holding the rifles more center-line. It's really awkward when they try to shoulder the rifles cuz the suits are impeding them. * On the topic of weapon props... PAINT YOUR PROPS!!!! * Bloody hell...RELOAD. Show them reloading!!!!! Spartans carry more ammo!!!

    Interesting watch list from Disney+ UK... The Satine-arcs and the episodes where Obi-wan faked his death.

    The season finale ended the season on a better foot but the entire season as a whole was "OK" (Not bad, but not good). The whole-B-plot dragged the season down. It had no effect on the season finale, making me seriously question its purpose for being in the show.

    Nice of them to incorporate the X-Wing/TIE Fighter/X-Wing vs TIE Fighter/Squadrons power allocation. Now flip it and show a TIE pilot's perspective. You won't need to animate faces.

    Episode 8: 👎 I have to agree the writing on this show is all over the place. This episode was just 🤨😵 Not B-plot-boring but just bizarre.

    Christopher Walken Joins Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya in ‘Dune: Part Two’ (Hollywood Reporter)

    Fast forwarded through all of it looking for the A-plot in about 5 seconds. Nada. See ya next week.

    The only thing I'll say to the casting is, shouldn't Robert April be older?

    Just to add... Moon Knight touches on the supernatural, which is something they haven't touched on, so this is probably intro piece. It's part of the MCU but hasn't gotten around to affecting the rest of the MCU, at large. Depending on how well it fairs, will decide if Moon Knight will pop up elsewhere. Maybe in Mahershala Ali's upcoming Blade-film would be a good place to tie them in to the larger MCU.

    Good interlude/story episode. Perfect. I can skip this episode then and take a week off. See ya in 2 weeks. Maybe in S2. I am waiting for the rocket launcher, which I know they made a prop for.
  19. azrael
    Yes. ☝️. 'Till then... Mod Note: Our patience with this topic is very thin and we have been through this several times over the near 2 decades MW has been around. Should the peanut gallery come out, we have no qualms locking this thread and keeping it that way for another decade.

    I was going to say, there's nowhere in any multiverse that junk mail DOESN'T exist. 😭 Extended warranty on fold drives, Windermerian princes who will offer you large amounts of fold quartz, some General Galaxy banking subsidiary who will offer 0% APR (Terms and Conditions apply).

    Sounds like it's official. Florence Pugh and Austin Butler have been cast as Princess Irulan and Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, respectively. Production apparently has started with principal filming starting in July.

    Episode 5 A-story. Progress! And some 'good olde Master Chief action. B-story. Madrigal is beyond boring now. Glass the planet so we never have to see it again.

    I kinda like the approach they took to Bruce and his mission; being more obsessed with vengeance, more about being Batman than being Bruce Wayne and keeping up appearances at this stage of being Batman. He's just beginning to realize the things his family tried to do to help the city so they should focus on expanding that. For the next movie, I would like them to start introducing the billionaire playboy philanthropist who uses the Wayne Foundation to better the lives of Gotham. As I mentioned above, the next movie should have this Bruce start streamlining the Bat-suit into more of something closer to the modern depiction of the Bat-suit. Fatter ears for a start (to incorporate the radio into his cowl).

    Wandavision is definitely hard to get started with. It doesn't make much sense until we get closer to the modern sitcom-ascetic. You're watching a lady who's working out her depression and grief through this town she took over. You're looking essentially inside her head in this show. It doesn't make any sense. But that's the point. Unfortunately, it is a pre-req for Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness so you might want to brush up on the events of the series before watching that flick.

    The A-story (Master Chief) was a lead-up story so I'll let that one go. The Madrigal girl B-story is un-interesting. If they did away with it, I wouldn't notice it since it's that boring. In the game timeline, the Covenant glassed Madrigal. That would redeem that storyline now.
