Disney fired Michael Arndt when he asked for more time to write because they wanted to meet the 2015 deadline (return of investment for the shareholders after buying the whole thing), then Lucasfilms hired JJ to direct (rejected it the 1st time) and write it with Kasdan.
Then they moved the release date to December because JJ requested more time to take the job (he wanted one full year, May 2016).
Rey was called Kira at one point lol
Wasn’t george even giving them advice on the side but they just threw that all out the window to “reinvent the wheel” of the OT instead
Haven’t started this yet but after clone wars do y’all think its essential to watch clone wars? Or do they not reference it
still cant believe they had the audacity to pull f***in TRENCH COAT s***
hiding under a TRENCH COAT
like their teenagers in the 1940s sneaking into a movie
its INSULTING
it was so clearly supposed to be a joke but they really dropped the ball by not inserting a pessimistic line from Obi Wan along the lines of “you know this is never going to work”

s*** like that seems charming if placed in the OT but in 4k in 2022 with modern directing
its just confusingly stupid
its clear they arent treating SW with the same love as Marvel tbh. they got a safe film producer rather than a Feige who's actually very in touch with what people want. just watching this show you can tell they just hired writers to get the job done.
still looking forward to Acolyte though cause at least thats a blank slate and there's more room to play around with creatively
So what's the verdict on this show? Worth the watch?
Watch it so you can laugh your ass off at the stupidity
Fair enough. But a lot of people (even some itt) interpreted the scene way differently than you did.
Couple that with the fact that the writer of the show wrote that scene with the intent to present Vader as a vengeful and sadistic character, and it becomes apparent that the whole thing isn't as clear as you so boldly claim it is.
People who wanted to nitpick the show intrepreted it wrong. Everyone I know irl and plenty in this forum saw it as it was intended. Vader stood there and watched obi wan get away after trying to torture him, it was clear he was conflicted and dissapointed
You keep going back to the writer, but that means nothing
Good example is avengers endgame
The writer
And the directors all had different ideas on what happened to cap when he went back in time
At the end of the day the actors and directors have final say on the ideas being presented
STAR WARS IS KNOWN FOR BEING CAMPY LMAO. HAVEN'T YOU SEEN THAT ONE SCENE WHERE THE STORM TROOPER BANGS HIS HEAD?!?!?!?!?!?
That was actually just lazy filmmaking
The actor hit his head and they just never changed or Redid it
