This show is just so poorly written.



I thought you were going a different direction with the poorly written complaint. I thought all of Obi-Wan's dialogue in the desert area was odd. A few stick out. Him immediately freaking out as soon as they got to the rendezvous point was weird. He went from strolling along to yelling at Leia in an instant. Also, him messing up their lie by calling her Leia seemed very out of character. It made him look like an idiot when he's supposed to be a wise Jedi.

I was under the impression in A New Hope that Vader and Leia had met before.
they are aware of each other obviously by that time, as she is an important figure and his role has also grown.

But making it to where he is aware she is more than what she appeared to be in ANH, is Blasphemy.

well i can't put the whole show in my post, but yes i felt the same exact way about that scenario.


It just further shows how they are making Obi-Wan an idiot little bitch, and i can't stand it.

The last time we saw Obi-Wan of course he was sad about what just happened, and of course he was going to have a hard time accepting what happened, but if you recall, the literal last words we heard from him was excitement about hearing about Qui-gon. Yoda told him he had training for him, but i guess it takes him 10 years to figure this out.


why do they have to do this again? they made Luke a worthless recluse after his failure with Ben, even though that failure was so poorly written and unlike Luke.
Now they are doing the same thing with Obi-Wan. It's just stupid. Who the frick wants to see this? Why did Obi-Wan have to sit secluded self pity for 10 years ignoring Yoda and basically giving up on everything? I mean there's a way to show his sadness and lack of faith in overtaking the empire in a better way than what they are doing.

The Reva character just sucks. Acting abilities are just terrible. She is dry and lifeless and has zero depth. GI and Fifth Brother have been very good and captivating. I also agree it’s time for Obi Wan to get his shite together. They are trying to capitalize on the Baby Yoda phenomenon with Leia instead of storytelling and allowing things to organically happen.

Star Wars "fans". He has been in exile for 10 years with minimal contact with other people do you expect him to still be the same wise and great warrior we saw in the prequels/ Clone Wars? Looking way too much into an almost irrelevant moment in the show that you really shouldn't think twice about.

uh, yeah, i do expect him to still be able to use the force, and be stronger than he was the last time we saw him. That's typical of any jedi. Especially considering the fact that Yoda asked him to do something that he looked excited about last time we saw him, yet he just ignored and completely forgot about it.

What i don't expect is for Obi-Wan to give up being a jedi. He still has to teach Luke, and he literally says that in this pathetic show. How the frick you going to teach him anything when you're as useless as a youngling?

Kanan had the same sad feelings after Order 66, and granted Obi-Wan has it worst, but Kanan didn't go into solitude and quit using the force, even though he too needed to suppress his jedi powers in public so he wouldn't be noticed and caught.

It's ridiculous to expect me to believe that Obi-Wan has given up on the force for 10 years. He knows he still has a job to do, protect Luke and Leia, and eventually train them. You can't do that as a pathetic loser who forgot how to use the force. and you can't tell me he's not talked to Yoda once this entire time, and Yoda wouldn't have allowed him to fall into this stupidity.


Hell Yoda was in exile for longer, yet he lifted a fricking x-wing out of the swamp with ease when called upon.

The problem is a combination of Disney pushing political dribble but to a greater degree, being limited by the original trilogy. Episodes 4-6 didn’t take into account prequels and spin offs, so I say just go far it and tell whatever pops the fans!!!

Yea I agree. I think he has just been skeptical to use the force so far I guess out of fear of giving himself away. Only 3 episodes in tho, hoping the show can finish strong.

i know they didn't, but it's still possible to follow their story and timeline, and at a minimum, keep the characters the same. What they are doing to Obi-Wan here is completely out of character, which is exactly what they did with Luke.

I mean everyone knows the line "When I left you I was but the learner, but now I am the master."
That doesn't have to mean the last time they met was on Mustafar with Obi Wan cutting his legs off. It also doesn't have to mean it's true.
That's why i said they should have had Obi-Wan still prove to him he's the master, and block every single thing that Vader tried to do to him, b/c he's still the learner.
Even when they finally meet in A New Hope, Obi-Wan lets him kill him, again proving to him that he's still the master b/c he'll become more powerful in death.

Why change fundamentally who Obi-Wan is, just like they fundamentally changed who Luke was? It's just stupid, and it pisses the fans off.

Agreed. I just took it from ANH that they had some encounters before.

the mother fricker doesn't even know Darth Vader exists. He thought he was dead. Fear of giving himself away to who? that's fine if you don't want to use the force to defeat some dumb arse storm troopers b/c you know you can without it. But basically being useless against Vader was ridiculous. and their brief saber fight was pathetic.

Yeah this bit makes no sense to me. How does it take Kenobi 10 years to figure out Vader is alive?

to be fair, he was on a planet where he wouldn't be too noticed or sensed.

He knows Palpatine would want luke as a weapon. He was more afraid of the empire imo than anything else over the past decade.

I wish that it would have been Qui-Gon that confirmed Anakin lives to Obiwan through communication than reva.

Your rant is pathetic. You're just like any other pathetic pussy Star Wars fan that, when things don't go the way THEY think it should, then the show is shite and retcons what they had in their mind.

Log off and go touch some grass man. Jesus this is sad.
