Easily the weakest episode so far, the plot armour was so thick I'm surprised you could see the heroes.
Thankfully it was a short episode because watching more of that badly written rubbish wouldn't have been fun.

Did she really say "I hope you like pain" to a ten year old?

I dub it: fetch quest filler. Yeah, probably should have just left Leia where she was to be killed by the Inquisitors. You monster! |

It looks like they spunked all the budget on Ewan Gregor and forgot about everything else.

I think this was my favourite episode so far.
Sure there were some plot holes and some very dodgy effects but it romped along well enough. Kind of felt like a level of a Kyle Katarn game.

Give me a Mysteries of the Sith TV show and I'll forgive making me watch Boba Fett.

Why don't lightsabres cut through shit anymore? I played some of Fallen Order. Apparently Disney mandated that sabers can cut through anything except humanoid figures. Animals, metal, but nothing human-shaped. |

Some really shoddy special effects this week Those tiny ships strafing the stormtroopers near the end were absolutely laughable. It was like someone stuck an Airfix model to the front of the camera |

I just watched the first two episodes last night...
...for a fan effort, it's quite well produced isn't it?
Bah. What a load of floppy shit this is. What's the actual point? This is worse than some of the MCU spinoff shite, and I already hold that in pretty low esteem. Fuck me. What a waste.

I donāt mind the lack of dismemberment, its not like thereās all that much of it in the movies in the first place Plus who know how many Imperials are two short people on each others shoulders in a big coat so the hits might be going in the gap between them |

Animals, metal, but nothing human-shaped. Huh. Very Xenoblade of you, Disney... I mean, obviously the real reason is "won't somebody please think of the children" but it's a funny coincidence  |

I'm surprised they haven't edited Episode 3 then.

I'm quite enjoying it.
When do we get Pod Racers.

NOW THIS IS PODRACING!
I think they should do a series on it, much like F1 Drive To Survive.

Lordy - Obi Wan with Leia under his coat was probably the worst thing I have seen in SW. Was it for laughs or was it serious?

That really was a terrible episode. I'm hoping they try and outdo the fight at the end of RotS in the final episode.

"Shall we throw in a line about Kenobi using the Force to help hide a kid under the greatcoat and it'd still be silly but a bit more plausible or just not bother?"
"Let's not bother."

I know thereās a case been made that Stormtroopers are largely a conscript army so might not be fully committed to space fascism but youād expect the ones in the ultimate secret fortress of doom might give enough of a shit to notice Kenobiās cunning coat ruse. I suppose as grimdark as the cinematography wants to be this series is still a sequel to Revenge of the Sith more than it is a precursor to A New Hope. I honestly did enjoy this episode more than the others though |

I can't quite put my finger on it but some of the shots from yesterday's episode looked stunningly cheap. Not the effects or anything, just the way it was shot.

Seriously. I can easily imagine some of you looking at the crayon artwork your eager, doe-eyed three year old hands you to you in great expectation only to remark, āWell, Constance, this line here, which I can only assume is meant to represent the back of the giraffe, is two degrees shy of the golden angle. I wish youād never been bornā This hasn't aged well after the 'small child hiding in Ben's trousers' scene. If only you'd waited 24 hours.  |
