This guy is NOT an artist... he is a tracer!
The artist from the comic must’ve gotten pointers from Butch Hartman.
Hey, tracers and photobashers are WAY more artistic than this garbage
"Now, this is podtracing!"
Yup.
He's already tracer
Every time I see a high profile IP comic with poor art I think "That artist never misses a deadline, clearly they are rock solid dependable.' Because, realistically, that is likely the only reason they have the job.
Yep, exactly! Doesn't matter that it's bad, only matters that it came out in time or not.
@@sporeham1674 Yep, same with the Sequel Trilogy.
Another reason could be nepotism
@@captaindak5119 It has everything to do with "nepotism"
It's called "we only hire talentless, left-wing hacks because we can't have any differing opinions around our propaganda factories"
@@captaindak5119 it's often who you know and not what you know
Dang, i didnt know wikihow makes star wars comics now
Of course it's part of the section titled "How to destroy the Star Wars franchise in less then 12 parsecs"
how to learn photoshop
A parsec is actually a unit of distance, not time. Therefore, your entire point is invalidated.
Just kidding.
This is so bad that I thought this was fake at first.
Oh, he was a LOT worse when he was doing art on Iron Man- and that was when the character was about as popular as ever thanks to the movies. Entire pages with no backgrounds were common.
Oh it’s fake all right and Toxic StarWars Fans would buy anything 😂😂😂.
Fakes are called that because they can be mistaken for the genuine products. This is just straight up bad lol
fr this shit looks AI generated
Thats an insult ti ai lmao
I’ve known this guys comics for years now… Amazed he gets jobs still.
I'm in the wrong business, then. If all it takes is just tracing over film cels, then where do I sign up?!
The people that run the Entertainment Industry HATES you.
No surprise, the entertainment industry specially in US and specially in the writing sector is full of nepotism
He must work for free or something
I genuinely think that these franchises are just given to nepobabies and nothing else
I think the fact that Star Wars approved this is way worse than the whole comic itself.
At least it’s not done by an Ai
I would have preffered if both Kenobi show and this comic were done by AI@@uria3679
A panel of Anakin saying "it's over" is the only worth this comic has
Anakin considering ropemaxxing after Mustafar :

There used to be things called “photonovels” which were just stills from the tv show or movie with comic book style word bubbles. This is that but somehow much less honest about its intentions.
I had a photo novel of Batman Forever, even it had extra comic book style exposition texts explaining plot elements. This is somehow that with extra steps, and also worse!
So he made it to look as identical as possible to the real thing?
My mum said she had a Grease one that she borrowed from her brothers friend but never returned. She says she has no idea what happened to it
You’re telling me, that all I need to be a comic artist is an ai snapchat filter?
They also did this with The Mandalorian comic, it was literally just the exact same as the show except in comic format.
Since when did they do this with The Mandalorian comic?
@@AshanBhatoa Google it.
@AshanBhatoa The comic is an exact copy of the show, look it up.
Yeah, I was excited when the Mandalorian comic came out until I saw that it was just a slavish retelling of the TV show. There’s absolutely no reason or need for that to exist. 🤷♂️
Came here to say this as well. Just screenshots arranged in comic panels
I remember this artist pulling the same schtick on the Marvel Alien comics. Straight up tracing toys in some instances. Weird that he keeps getting work, especially for Disney.
I remember that as well. What a waste of paper.
He's presumably incredibly reliable and cheap.
That's a different artist
I was going to say this bit I knew someone would have said it already. I had no idea who Larocca was until those Alien comics because I simply don't read anything from Marvel these days. His tracing of Neca figures (and just about everything in general) and inserting himself as the lead of the first arc coupled with the terrible story made those comics painful to read
He meets deadlines thats why.
Bro... Obi-Wan's face at 6:16 😂
Literally just about to post this. It's _unreal_ that this got published...
Wtf lol
It's just adding representation for the Chromosomally gifted.
Who tha fuq is that? 😂
Anakin got that Jedimaxxing chin
When I was in elementary, our school had a comic of ROTJ that was legit just screen caps of the movie with speech bubbles thrown on top. This feels even more lazy than that.
Well, ironically the Grand Inquisitor looked better in the comic than in the show, lol. The makeup for the Grand Inquisitor in Kenobi was just absolutely insulting to fans, especially because P’auans have been portrayed in live-action before. Someone at Disney’s billion dollar makeup department said “let’s just throw white paint and a bald cap on a guy and call it a day.” Such trash.
Funny, I never felt slighted at all. I was just pleased to see the character in live action.
I think they intentionally tried to make the Grand Inquisitor less interesting because otherwise he'd overshadow Reva and the audience would want the story to be about him instead.
@@christianyaerger1751 it should have been about him instead haha
There's been a lot of competition for shitest star wars comic
Disney giving Star Wars back to Marvel was the absolute worst decision.
Dark Horse comics made some of the very best SW content with amazing original artists like Douglas Wheatley, Dustin Weaver, Bong Dazo, Brian Ching, Agustin Alessio, etc.
When does the competition end lol
Ironic because this is a lack of competition, Disney owns Star Wars and Marvel so got their own asset to make the comic with the lowest effort
What I would pay to see just one Star Wars comic by Brian Ching again...
@@thedatatreader Right? Or Dustin Weaver? Imagine having designed your first two SW figures while in your mid 20's....
This is sad the comics were what really got me into the EU. And there were always the occasional comic of movie scenes or tv scenes but generally in the comics the writer and artist would try and do things slightly different to add more context or maybe a slight pre or post additional scene. This is just the show and a bed reduction of it. There is no reason to get this comic and watch the show choose one you don’t need the other.
@@saberiandream316you clearly have read many nucanon comics and know what you're talking about
Also "our stories".🤣🤣🤣
"There's gotta be a talented artist there. You can't be a major comic book artist, I think, otherwise." Oh you sweet summer child. Just look up the Squirrel Girl comics.
greg land worse
Yeah a comic series from 2015
Salvador Larroca had his drawns in some comics from the main Star Wars line of Marvel Comics in 2016 and 2017, until in 2018 all the comics from chapter 26 to 55 were given to him to be drawn... his art is HORRIBLE. I remember being excited to read some new chapter of Star Wars that had come out, imagining what adventure would be told in those pages, and then being super discouraged and sad to see that that story had been drawn by Salvador. His design is TERRIBLE, he tries to draw the characters in a realistic way, to make them look like the real actors and real people, but the way he executes it is horrible. The realistic way he draws the characters is strange, Han solo numerous times had his face swollen as if he had been attacked by a swarm of bees, making him look like anything but Harrison Ford. And to make matters worse, the color also helped to make it look bad. Several times the characters' eyes had the same color as their SKIN, with you not knowing how to differentiate between skin and eyes. This guy's bizarre way of drawing ended up completely ruining the story, even if the plot was good. I remember being very anxious and excited to read the Citadel of Screams arc, only to discover that 2 of the 5 chapters in that arc were drawing by him. The Citadel of Screams has a very good story, but this guy's bizarre art simply ruins it and makes everything ugly. And one of the things that bothered me the most is the fact that none of the ships, I repeat, none of the ships were designed by him, ALL OF THEM without exception were 3D models that he just fixed the angle and threw onto the panel. All the backgrounds were also just scanned and thrown in there. Vader's first phase of comics (2015 to 2016) was completely drawn by him, which made it not so good, but I was happy to see that he had only drawn a few comics from the main Star Wars line... Until 2018 when Marvel simply decided to hand over ALL THE CHAPTERS TO HIM. That pissed me off, but luckily he improved a lot at that time, and his drawns became acceptable. He began to draw the characters in a more consistent way, the ships and backgrounds were no longer 3D and scanned scenes, and the colors were also well placed and executed. Still, if i am reading a comic, i *want* to look like a comic, i want the characters to have a cartoonish visual, i want the ships to have a comic style, goddammit, I want a comic to be a comic, I want it to be drawn and have a cartoon look, not a realistic scaneed shit with 3d models. The first 6 chapters of the main Star Wars line, designed by John Cassaday, also tried to look like the real actors, but they were DESIGNED, not scanned or made to be realistic.Thank God the art for the last arc, Destination Hoth, was not his, but rather Phil Noto's, a great illustrator who had already worked on Poe Dameron's comics. I thought that after 2018 Larroca's performance would improve, but apparently it just declined more and more.
Sorry for the big text, but i really HATE Salvador Larroca's desing.
Going over his initial Vader run in my head, I can literally only imagine how much better it would have been with a more talented artist. This was how we got introduced to Doctor Aphra, Triple Zero, and Beetee-One. Some style would’ve been incredible, especially when his action scenes are pretty sterile and stiff. Seriously, compare his work on the Vader Down crossover to whoever was doing the mainline Star Wars comics at the time. Vader looks INSANE in the other style, because it’s actually got STYLE. And you can still tell who everybody is perfectly fine. Props to the guy who gave us the “all I am surrounded by is fear… and dead men” moment, because the art is phenomenal. But then you jump back to Larroca, and it’s really jarring when he tries to have characters fight. There’s no sense of motion besides some little lines.
@@a_fine_edition2746 exactly exactly. I agree with every word you said
"There's got to be a talented artist there, you can't be a major comic book artist otherwise."
Rob Liefeld says 'Hi."
No, he doesn't. Sure, Rob is infamous, but you can't say he doesn't know how to draw. He's lacking in anatomy, but he makes it up with dynamic poses, good epic shading, recognizable style and overall interesting characters. Besides, it was a different time, when he started publishing. You couldn't just press Alt-Z, move bad parts a bit to fix a composition, use smudge tool, etc. and etc. Traditional drawing is a lot harder than digital and Liefeld did his best at it. That's precisely why he's still in the industry.
His comics are not even slightly comparable to this traced dogshit.
I remember in the early 2000s he had a good run on x-treme x-men. I can’t believe this is the same person. I am shocked.
The next step for them, sell blank pages but have "cool" cover 😂
@@averdadeeumaso4003 well the covers are usually done by different people, so they're often the highlight in Larocca comics nowadays.
@@averdadeeumaso4003just flip the blank pages while you watch the show! It’s the same thing really lol
6:14 I notice that a lot of modern shows especially syfy tend to be poorly lit. I remember the old days that were well lit. Usually in the Star Trek general.
Easier to hide bad sfx in dark lighting I imagine
@@zandern7315 It is, that's why a lot of the creature effects in 80s movies were dramatically and darkly lit - to cover the shortcomings and make it more menacing. Brightly lit with shots holding on the effects - it doesn't hold up. Gotta keep it to the shadows and let your brain fill in the rest.
I’m actually excited for the Thrawn Alliances book being turned into a comic because there are lot of scenes that would look good visually and actually give us something worth adding
And people thought “from the tales of obi-wan kenobi” comic was bad. At least that was about Obi Wan looking out for Luke
It also had a realistic art style but I really liked it if you haven’t read it yet I would defo recommend
People didn't like those? I thought their art were soulful for being photorealism-leaning
So many canon comics are great and overlooked - shame Larocca’s absolutely CRAP gets all the attention because of how bad it is
@@saberiandream316 WUT? Canon books and comics sell well, it's always been a niche, even during Legends. Your comment has nothing to do with what subOp said.
@@saberiandream316 You mean whole EU, a few hunded books, and they donts sell well either, only Thrawn Trilogy sell very good and it was mostly ony Heir of Empire. books and comics was always a niche. And High Republic sell well, II phase was little letdown, but still sell more books thatn legends reeditions many people skip it in awiting for phase 3. And thats just High Republic, other comics like Vader, Aphra, Bounty Hunters also sell very good.
We deserve the TROS comic adaptation bc even if the art was bad at least that promised us more context for the story with deleted scenes being included.
Thats the Animation filter in Apple's Final Cut Pro video editing program. They literally sliced shots out with a 2009 filter plugin that does poor animation from film!
Just look up “Salvador Lorocca traces” and you’ll see just how much he does this. He’s been doing it for years.
The Mandalorian comic adaptation is similar in that it doesn't add anything new and is just each episode recreated as a comic.
I expect the same from the upcoming Ahsoka comic adaptation.
The film comic adaptations are generally better at this though with some deleted scenes and original stuff added.
Ah yes Salvador’s “artwork”.. I haven’t read a SW comic in years since I gave them up but his artwork from the original 2015 run of the main SW comic still haunts my dreams.
This is an example of a phrase spoken during the sequel trilogy flop: "If Disney isn't giving a shit, why did you think others would?"
Ever since 2017 it really feels like we’ve uncovered new depths of depression and depravity in this fanbase…
Not just since then - it's been happening from the get-go with Disney. NOTHING they've made has been even remotely good.
@@KamenRiderGumo that's objectively not true lol
@@KamenRiderGumoOh yeah and let me guess every single piece of legends material is peak fiction no matter what right? Like I get it Disney has done a lot of bad but lying just for some likes on a comment that won’t even be seen by more than like 10 people is sad.
@@DrUmar-gu4kpthe worst of Legends was bad, but the best of Legends outshines anything Disney created.
I'm still amazed people go so far out of their way to virtue signal their support for all the crap Disney puts out. Especially for just a handful of likes
The biggest mistake Star Wars fans ever made was crying about the force awakens. If JJ got to plan / direct all three sequel films, we may be living in a much better timeline.
I said it since 2015. For the exception of few short miniseries the new MARVEL comics are a total hack job with STAR WARS slapped over it. I gave up on it a long time ago. Dark Horse celebrated diverse art directions pushing the limits of what a comic book is. This is lazy job to make extra buck off the IP
8:54
I'm not as familiar with Marvel's OT run, but Dark Horse's run on the Prequels is at least as good as their Republic line (what Filoni's Clone Wars show was created to copy and then replace). Revenge of the Sith is clearly rushed (the duel between Grievous and Obi-Wan, for instance, has significantly different dialogue and is only two pages), but Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones look fantastic, and there's no tracing evident anywhere.
Can we all just agree that the Kenobi novel by John Jackson Miller is the only Obi-Wan story we needed between Revenge of The Sith and A New Hope.
Heck yeah
Amen 💯
Disney continues to prove how all of their content is nothing but lazy, generic fanfiction
I have a book called "Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader." It was okay. The underlying premise was better than a Kenobi story.
I haven't read it but you're probably right.
Thats because Disney knows that part of the fan base will buy any crap just because it yas "Star Wars" printed on it.
The sad part is fans defending any and all of the crap because it's content
I have to wonder if some sort of deadline or crunch pressure is what made this comic so derivative and lazy.
I could only imagine doing something so creatively bankrupt if it were all I could do to feed my (hypothetical) family
This guy has been doing it for years
No, it's just lack of talent or doing it on porpuse
it probably is related to that.
I've been talking a lot to people about why Larroca still gets gigs even after fans reaction to his Vader and Star Wars comics, and we think it's just that he is fast and cheap. So when you are producing something like this Kenobi comic, which really is just a cashgrab adaptation of a show that's not that popular in the first place, you hire someone cheap to maximize profits.
Now why Larroca as an artist is fine with being associated with comics like this? it's probably not a bad way to pay the bills.
he would get jobs because he does it fast. Look at Marvel in the 70s and 60s.
Bullshit
Of course we do, the best way for us to get better content is by not being tolerant and accepting this junk.
Star wars deserves better writing in general, only thing I’ve been invested is Andor. Looking forward to season two and then shelving Star Wars in my memory
Andor doesn't jangle a lightsaber in your face every 30 seconds though so it's "not real star wars" according to self-proclaimed "real star wars fans"
The art style is too real like it's trying to look as close to the show as visually possible instead of making it look unique closer to the dark horse look
Even Marvel's best art never looked as good as Dark Horse
Believe it or not, this isn't the only time Disney did this sort of shot-by-shot retelling of something we already saw on screen. I personally have a copy of The 40th Anniversary A New Hope Cinestory Comic that does the exact same thing, except it LITERALLY is copy-and-pasting shots from A New Hope (Not just someone tracing screenshots from the film into comic book form; but ACTUALLY takes shots from the film itself, and puts those shots directly into the book), while adding speech bubbles, and onomanapeias (Hope I'm spelling that correctly) here-and-there. Yes, this exists! And it happened for A New Hope's 40th Anniversary, aka 2017, which was a full 7 years ago, back when The Last Jedi Premiered in Theaters! They've been doing this for a long time.
That's better than tracing, at least it's being honest?
That's existed for a while. It's literally in the name mate.
The Mandalorian comics are the same shot for shot exact dialogue as well 😔
Given the quality of other comics produced in the Disney cannon this is beyond shocking.
You will get your slop, and you will like it.
-Disney, probably.
I remember being somewhat happy with getting a Kenobi comic book adaptation (I thought maybe by changing the pace and shots of certain events I would enjoy the story more). But then I saw "Art by Larroca"... *Sigh*
This is the shape of things to come, or at least it's what Disney wants us to accept. The next step after this crap is to go all-AI art for a comic so they don't have to pay an artist (or only have to pay for the speech bubbles & other text, if the AI can't handle that well enough), but that depends on what laws or regulations get passed in the mean time.
What if it turned out that AI-generated scripts and artwork were really awesome? Then what? 🤔
Jesus, this guy makes Greg Land look diligent.
It honestly looks like they ran some frames from the show and ran them through an ai animation processor then resized/cut to fit in the comic pictures
It’s sad that this is prevalent on so many mediums. Even most murals nowadays are done with a google image search blueprint followed by a projected image on the wall thats traced. -Just lazy on the artist’s behalf 🤦♂️ and they at times get paid thousands
It's taken this long for people to realize that Star Wars comics went downhill straight after Marvel took over from Dark Horse.
To think we started this off with Freaking PEPE LARRAZ and his beautiful art for the Kannan Comics to this complete Dumpster Fire of a book is really depressing
The reason why guys like this get so much work is because many consumers *do* buy and accept it without complaint. Think of all those people who blindly hype up video games that are so clearly cash grabs. You'll be insulted and called a hater by pointing out how a game will bomb because it's a cash grab. The same thing applies here. I'm sure we've all seen some form of this argument...
"Well it's better to have something than nothing. You're just a hater."
"You only hate it because it's terrible!" 🤡
Disney has been doing this will all their comics based off the Streaming Shows. The mandalorian comics are the same. No changes no extra info or elaboration of incoherent plot points
What's the point of making them??? Like what
@@user-yq9im9dk9zMoney or the belief that somehow they will make money off of them
Sal Larocca’s 90s work was great.
Man... so on point! The recent SW comics have been eyesores to read. Gone are the days of Dark Horse creativity and expanded universe story lines. What a sad time for Star Wars across all mediums; movies, shows, games, toy lines, and even the comics. Thank you Disney for systematically destroying the once golden franchise.
Corporate Hollywood poisons everything they touch. R.I.P. Star wars
and here i thought the show gave me ptsd in writing now art is ruined too.
Thrawn would be disgusted.
I laughed at that shot of Reva in the thumbnail harder and for longer than I should have. She looks so derpy.
No joke, I thought this was Greg Land at first glance.
Not enough porn tracing to be Land.
Reminds me of the “cinemagic” comics they tried selling back in the aughts. Just screenshots of the cartoons compiled in a manga-sized paper back. I bought one for Kim Possible because I liked to draw fan art and often didn’t have internet (and tv wasn’t streaming on demand yet) , but even then I was still disappointed at Disney for making something so lazy.
I was told as a kid that tracing wouldn't get me anywhere! Lies!!!!!
Revas face in the thumbnail is begging to be turned into a wojak lol
Come back Rob Liefeld. All is forgiven!
"Star Wars fans deserve better than this garbage"
No, that's exactly what they deserve for spending years passively accepting the shit that Disney produced.
The real fans who don't deserve this.
Reminds me of the old Photo Novels from the 60s and 70s. Our library had lots of Star Trek TOS photo novels. But they weren't pretending to be artwork
Man, putting the shots from Kenobi against the comic panels really highlights just how bad the lighting in Kenobi is.
From the thumbnail I thought you were just talking about the Kenobi show itself, and I still agreed lol
So when we get live-action adaptations of beloved comics, games or books they refuse to keep what was already established. But when disney has to have a live action show adapted into a comic, it is a literal 1 for 1 copy paste of what weve seen on the show. What the actual hell.
Whoever thought this is a good idea needs to be fired and never hired in the industry ever again.
This really shows that disney has a really loose grip on enforcing quality lol, assuming they even do that in the first place.
This guys "art" has been one of the main reasons I just never bothered reading the new comics
There were book a long time ago with pictures and text of what the characters were saying, usually romance novels. The cells were black and white photographs of the actors, not drawing. This comic reminds me of that.
As long as fans pay for it... yeah, we kinda do deserve it.
Yoda commenting on this comic: "Rotten in the Force, something smells".
I've been a Star wars fan my entire life and I no longer am. The reason Disney has ruined Star wars all they do is pander to a political group that isn't their fans and releases subpar over priced products with lazy writing.
I sware to god to this day as a 21 year old, that trailer at 8:34 for Star Wars The Old Republic is the most badass thing I have ever seen in my entire goddamn life.
the sad thing is, a competent artist can use "tracing" (ie finding your basic forms and compositional shapes) and still bring style and expressiveness to a drawing. Or at least develop a system for interpreting the source images with where you make marks on someone's face to define them. but this is just sad to look at.
In the times where you cant quite find a frame that matches perfectly its entirely possible that the original artist traced only the faces (and maybe hands, the difficult stuff) and then hand drew their bodies which is why they don't match 1:1
I haven't watched you in so long but it's wild to see you be this close to 1m
God damn I miss the ol Dark Horse days.
This is the entire embodiment of what is wrong with Disney Star Wars.......
Bro this art makes Greg Land look as original as Giger.
That's because Salvador Larroca is a hack...
How can anyone be surprised? This is what Disney has done ever since they sat down and had Jar Jar Abrams copy Episode IV. Sometimes Shot by shot.
The most irritating thing for me is that these comic adaptations are wholly unnecessary. Why do we need an entire retelling of Mando? Or the Obi-Wan show? Hell, they just announced an Ahsoka adaptation is coming (at least the cover actually looks great, but I’m not optimistic). My question is who are these for? Just… watch the shows, if you really want to see the story. These comics are literally slapping weird out-of-place shots onto a page from the same series you can already watch. There’s literally less to engage with. I guess some people might see that as a blessing though, depending on how much they dislike something, but at that point why bother engaging with it at all? What’s the point of sinking so much wasted time and effort into churning these adaptations out, instead of dedicating it to working on something original for the Star Wars comic medium?
When there's no competition, companies get lazy and greedy.....
I remember getting a star wars comic with an action figure. It was just covering empire strikes back, but the art was unique. So I read it way more than it probably deserved.
This reminds me of a scene from an older movie called Love, Actually. "Imagine your husband bought a gold necklace, and come Christmas gave it to somebody else... Would you wait around to find out if it's just a necklace, or if it's sex and a necklace, or if, worst of all, it's a necklace and love? Would you stay, knowing life would always be a little bit worse? Or would you cut and run?
Harry: Oh, God. I am so in the wrong. The classic fool!
Karen: [voice breaking] Yes, but you've also made a fool out of me, and you've made the life I lead foolish, too!
This is where we are as Star Wars fans. This is a loveless relationship we're staying in out of nostalgia for when it was better. We'll always have the original and prequel trilogies and the EU but this has become a cynical cash grabbing franchise.
Major comic book artists that work for the big US comic book companies don't need to be talented artists nowadays. Nowadays, how the person identifies and their politics are far more important for those companies than the ability to create art. That's why many talented artist become independent and many people around the world are abandoning places like Marvel and DC, and are turning to things like manga. In 2020-2021, the entire US comic book industry was outsold by a single manga series, Kimetsu no Yaiba (aka "Demon Slayer").
I wish Star Wars was sold to Japanese company. Like wtf George, you literally made Samurais in space, why would you give that to Americans.
@@user-yq9im9dk9z Fun fact. The original Star Wars movie was based on a 1958 Japanese movie called The Hidden Fortress.
These are exactly like all those knock off toys you see at the dollar store.
Marvel still engages phenomenal artists like Lucas Werneck and Pepe Larraz, but for some reason they also keep hacks like Greg Land (famous for porn tracing, back with original X-Men) and Salvador Larroca employed sullying their own medium. I stopped buying the Star Wars issues until Larroca moved on, but it's hard to vote with my wallet now that I just get it all on Marvel Unlimited.
Kinda fitting that the comic for kenobi is phoned in considering how bad the show was, I can’t judge the acting as I have only seen like 3 clips, if I’ve seen more than 15 minutes ied be extremely surprised but as I knew I wouldn’t enjoy and would likely spend most of my time complaining to myself I chose not to actually watch it thou one of the clips I saw was Vader going ape on the ship then toying with his victim to show just how wide the gap in skill and power was between them (we so need a GOOD! Vader film with a great director and a fantastic script… I know but I can dream) the limited amount I’ve seen really wasn’t enough to judge the acting on but the rest of the show is a wide open target and oh boy was that a mess but that’s all been said before.
This comic screams lazy cash grab trying to exploit the fans.
Not to be that guy, but how can you honestly say it’s a bad show if you only saw 3 clips?
Watch it yourself and then make up your opinion. The negative voices are the loudest online. It doesn’t mean something actually is as bad as it may sound.
Again, make up your own opinion. Entertainment is subjective.
The Obi Wan show is not canon. Obi Wan would never stop using the force, and wouldn’t allow himself to not be in peak physical condition. He was responsible for training what he knew could be the last possible hope for the galaxy. And he’d know Vader was alive
Complete waste of an opportunity to create a better Imperial assault on the smugglers' hideout.
Reminds me of those old Scholastic Ninjago mini books where they straight up take frames from the tv show and make the story from said show into a book
At least the frames weren't ugly or altered though.
Somehow, he made Hayden look even older. What an incredible talent 😂
The Kenobi series comic is cheaper than the show it was based after lol.
Star Wars Visionaries is one of my favorite comic series because it was a love project from passionate artists who drew their comics because they genuinely wanted to, not just because they were being payed to. I just wish that modern artists had more creative passion for their work.
I really wish I could just take your videos and show them directly to Disney. You speak the truth and what all of us are thinking and I know I really appreciate it!
Laroca's been in comics a long time, like 20 to 25 years. His early work was on various x-men boks. He did a good job.
Idk how you can submit a draft of this and your editor doesn’t look at you and go.
“What the fuck is this?”
