    Well that episode certainly paid off and then some. It had some of the most gorgeous setting I’ve seen in all of Star Wars, the fact that we’re only 25% through the show is wild. Definitely the best SW show they’ve put out

    - Kessel was mentioned in a series of “random” events across the galaxy. I’m thinking they are referring to Han Solo’s famous 12 parsec Kessel run. The timelines should match. It made me smile.

    Yep, the timelines match, referenced also was a conflict we see in season 1 of Rebels as well. Like the guy at the end says, it’s just getting started

    I don’t mind the slower pace, it seems to be going in threes, as today’s episode was more character-focused while still pushing the plot forward, but I bet that the next one will be the “big one” like how episode 3 was for the first three episodes

     

    It’s also longer than the other SW shows (besides Mando), at 12 episodes + another 12 in development. Gives them more time to flesh the story out than they would in 6 episodes like Kenobi and BOBF

    Looks pretty interesting, feels like the more “gritty” vibe from Rogue One is present here. They clearly have high hopes since they’ve already started season 2 before the first even released

    Allegedly in the video (I’m sure it’s true but I sure am not watching) he aims his gun at a white worker, sees he’s white, and says “sorry” to him. He then proceeds to kill more black people. 
     

    Absolute scum, I know it’s “good” that he was arrested but it would’ve been no loss if he was dead now

    I think it's a stretch to say Star Wars is "languishing". People like to reminisce on the EU (former canon before Disney), but that had even crazier and more bizarre things that were getting out of control. For example, there was an evil clone of Luke Skywalker named "Luuke", Chewbacca being crushed by a moon saving Han and Leia's son Anakin who dies later on, driving their other son Jacen to the dark side, only to be killed by his twin sister Jaina. Even better, Palpatine being cloned, a plot point about Rise of Skywalker many hate, happened numerous times in the EU.

    Say what you will about Disney's handling on Star Wars, but the continuity is concise and flows much better than the EU, which felt like wild fan fiction that you'd read on a 15 year old's blog.

    Yeah, the sequels are controversial, no doubt about that, but even if you hate every single one, they all had fantastic moments. Rogue One I see is regarded as the best Disney-Star Wars movie, and Solo, despite its issues during production, is a fun movie. The show argument made is a bit weaker to me, especially since there's more cming after Kenobi, as Mandalorian is wildly successful, maybe even more so than the sequels. In addition, The Clone Wars Season 7 was HUGE for fans who grew up on it (like me) and Bad Batch was also a nice little treat, even if it focused too much on world building at the cost of storytelling. Book of Boba Fett gets too much hate, as people wanted the vengeful, murderous Boba Fett from the EU (yep, he came back then too), rather than the one we got who gets more of a "human" characteristic. 

    Obi-Wan will be wildly successful just because its been wanted by people for YEARS, Obi-Wan is one of the most popular Jedi in all of Star Wars, I can't see a show focusing on him doing too badly.

    Plus I'm a sucker for seeing how things changed post-Revenge of the Sith and pre-A New Hope

    And I admit, I had no idea what "Moon Knight" was before this. Hell, I'm not so sure I do now!

    This show has me very interested in the comics for Moon Knight, seems like a good place to start

    I thought the finale was pretty solid. I was a bit worried they wouldn’t be able to tie things together neatly, but I think they did a good job with it! 

    There IS a credits scene, that I believe serves as a tease to a second season

    It looks like they are introducing Jake Lockley the 3rd and final personality. 

     

    At the start of Ep 5, people pointed out that his voice with “Dr. Harrow” sounded different from Marc’s or Steven’s, so looks like we’ll see him in the finale?

    Episode 5 was incredibly dark, but a lot of things were explained. Not at all what I expected but I loved it. Can't wait to see how it all ends, I'd love to see a second season of this, might even get into the comics
