The first two episodes were entertaining enough, but a bit shit, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those conventions are a nice little earner for cast members who aren’t big stars. I know a couple of actors that go to them, especially the ones in the US. All expenses travel and accommodation and a nice wedge of cash for a meeting with fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pap Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Underwhelming so far 😭 Still. Got Andor to look forward to in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Boy Named Crow Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) Not really bothered with Star Wars, but the wife is right into it, so I've got more of an outsider's perspective, not a true believer at all. I'd say Obi-Wan Kanobi at least feels like part of the Star Wars story, where as Mandalorian felt forced, like it was trying too hard. We'll see how it goes, but so far I almost think I could enjoy it, unlike the Mandalorian and the last umpteen films that made me want to claw my eyes out.

Andor has real potential to be a good exploration on espionage during the rise of the Empire. Already supposed to have a 2nd series in development, guess it's endgame will be a lead in to the tremendous Rogue One. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dragon Reborn Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 It’s a bit shit seeing Obiwan so tepid. Hopefully he gets his Force confidence and mojo back in the next couple of episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughesie27 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) Enjoyed first 2 eps. Imagine the Third Sister will have a significant back story to justify her rage/focus on Obi. Agree that Leia looks too young but the wee girl is clearly a good actress so can forgive that. Edited May 30, 2022 by hughesie27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the context is that there are 3 Inquisitors chasing him down in the first 2 eps with one episode specifically having the entire city get a transmission offering a bounty for him. Using the force/demonstrating he is a Jedi is not the right move when stealth is the best option to avoid unnecessary attention. Ultimately a 3 on 1 lightsaber battle isn't going to end well for him.

I was meaning more his reluctance to even get involved in the first place and also him getting manhandled by the thugs and sluggishly trying to keep up with a 10yo. Compare that to him in the early films where he’s acrobatically flipping his way through different locations and destroying anything that crosses his path.

I think it's pretty clear that this is all part of his character development. He has spent 10 years resisting any confrontation, as alluded to by not challenging the short changing boss.

neilnunb Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Season finale Urgh. I'm not really sure how I felt about that. A bit of a mixed bag for me.

Cade Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Carrie Henn, Newt in Aliens, was 9 at the time of filming. Sarah Polley, Sally in Baron Munchausen, was 9 at the time of filming.

Cade Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 One reviewer put it this way: "Leia is supposed to be ten, and she's being played by an actress who's 9, but looks like she's 7 and runs like she's 3" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
