  • @Failedlegend

    the worst part is that despite all the "the force is female" BS, they gave the female lead NO agency, both characters she's playing just gets dragged around by other people the whole series and any time they do decide to do something on their own the story just forgets it happened (ie. Mae deciding to surrender to the Jedi)

      It's by design. They don't want you to enjoy stories with "minorities," they want it to suck to cause division. And they don't want us to have moving stories or music at all because we might be uplifted or inspired. It's not like people suddenly got uninspired and lost all talent, it's just that powerful people want the masses desolate. It must burn their ass that so many of us are still entertained by criticism vids.

    This show, Ahsoka, Kenobi, and BoBF were all supposed to be movies under the "A Star Wars Story" label. After Solos box office flop, Disney announced that they were stopping the ASWS series and focussing on Disney+. My guess is these shows were all half-baked movie scripts that have been stuffed with filler and cut into episodes. This one is the most egregious so far with all the awkward cuts and cliffhangers out of nowhere. I mean what was that ending scene in this episode? It's so amateur it hurts! $180 million for this?

    Very relevant comment about the shortcut. I heard Theravada Buddhists monk being asked if a person should take sedatives or antidepressants to suppress the desire (source of suffering) they always say no. That is a shortcut that defeats point of Buddhism.

      Yeah, it seems like they’re steering it towards green face. I suppose she’s going to be a secret member of the space witch club? I thought the real master was going to be horny face, but perhaps not…

      @thelmctodaythelmctoday4037 I think it will be her or the zabrak mother we never saw the corpse of in the flashback. Those are my two guesses. Honestly I agree the reveal will be just like smilo very underwhelming with no impact.

    Thanks Jeremy, this episode the dialogue was less stupid than in the last few, so I was starting to enjoy it, but then something was off with the character motivations. Thanks for finding and describing all the character-building and consistency sins!

    All the characters just waiver depending on what's needed for the scene. There's no build up, ever. It's not a twist if there's no setup.
