Man, most of my timeline was goofing on this thing when the first two episodes dropped precisely because of the filmmaking. The split isn't fawning adulation / virulent racists. There's people who legit don't like it.

Anyone else think Reva and Obi-Wan are gonna end up fucking?
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I'm all caught up. Watched both tonight. It was ok. I left feeling that I'd wish they put more into one big movie on the big screen. Some of the effects looked a little too fake. Ewan is great though. It's worth watching because of him.

He really cut that meat better than any other actor could. 5 times. Or 6. Or whatever it was.

That meat was one of the things that looked terribly fake to me

Just because you guys haven’t seen the abuse online that’s she’s been getting, means it isn’t happening?

How nice for you. Lucky you.

3rd episode is awesome
Spoiler: show
Didn’t expect a showdown so early
Vader is the balls
Reeva and the fifth brother fighting for power is gold
Vader playing the inquisitors off against each other is smart
Not sure exactly how ObiWan got away when Vader showed he could put the flames out 30 seconds before
Reeva finding Leia takes it up a notch

Good episode. Still some trite prequel-ass dialogue like “you should have killed me when you had the chance”

That was 100% pure rebels episode. And I loved it.

That’s the scariest onscreen Vader we’ve ever seen. And I’m wondering how they were allowed do that.

The fire he created seemed pretty tame; Obi Wan took forever to cook.

No it is not.

You made the claim that nobody is complaining about script/performance/shots/etc. just the race of the actor. Jorge is refuting the former, which doesn’t saying anything about the latter.

As I already said. You cranks here are the only people I’ve seen make really any complaints.
Some legit some just stupid.
You havent been the racist assholes and I wasn’t suggesting that to be clear.
I’m in a lot of other sw forums and that has been happening and worse.

I’d rather get Star Wars opinions from a Pearl Jam message board anyway; less overreactive bias. What’s the Star Wars fandom’s take on Backspacer?

That hooded figure he sees on the hill, that disappears?

Looking at the the screen grabs, it looks like Anakin?
