For several weeks I kept seeing a trailer for Kenobi as youtube ads. It featured this amazing quote by Reva: "Send the probes *DEW IT*...........now." Gave me serious "first take was only take" vibes.
I find you spot on with your assessment. the biggest problem is that disney has no interest in storytelling, each movie and show is just a woke cult manefesto of their beliefs and philosophy, such as it is. the complete lack of logic is because their beliefs and philosophies are that vapid and pointless based mostly on victimhood and hatred.
That's certainly true for anything that Kathleen Kennedy touches, but it's not sustainable. Lucasfilm will be forced to shutter and rebuild if they keep producing C grade junk.
@@DespotofAntrim My approach to Reva’s character would’ve been different. She would been this cunning, manipulative Inquisitor who tricks people into trusting her before stabbing them in the back like a scorpion. She would be very persuasive in language and mind games. Her character would fight similar to Palpatine, she would want revenge on Kenobi not because it had anything to do with Anakin but more because she had a close bond with Jedi Master Obi Wan Kenobi as a young ling during Pre Revenge Of The Sith, Prequel Era. She would’ve been a new young ling taken in The Jedi Order by Obi Wan Kenobi , they would bond over the years of her young age and as a result she would’ve formed an unconscious father daughter based attachment to him. During her time as a Youngling. She would often have nightmares about the temple with Jedi being slaughtered, corpses everywhere. Obi Wan would constantly tell her the same thing he told Anakin when he had bad dreams, “Dreams Pass In Time…” but that wasn’t enough for her. She began to have another bad dream that Obi Wan would die on his next mission assigned by The Jedi Council to capture General Grevious, The Jedi Hunter. Shot down by a canon while on pursuit she described to Obi Wan. He told her he would return after his mission and assure that not just are things fine but the war is almost over and all her nightmares can finally end. This was before he would go to finally say goodbye to Anakin and head to Utapau. She was mad that he didn’t really listen to her but believes he will come back to see her after his mission after all he always came back to see her after his missions. After that she experiences hell, Order 66 happens, she flees for her life with any surviving younglings during Anakin & The 501st slaughter. She ends up getting lost from the other younglings during the chaos and is once again a lone. She hides away in the temple and falls asleep in terror. When she wakes up she heres no killing. That’s when Palpatine appears behind her alone, she expects she’ll die but he doesn’t kill her. He takes her and puts her into his Inquisitor program where she meets the other inquisitors and Darth Vader. All the trauma and torture they put her through drives her mad as they teach her the ruthless ways of The Darkside traumatizing her even more and warping her mind. Her fear was being alone and having no one that cared about her so she spent years of her life believing Obi Wan Kenobi was dead by The Imperial reports, during the purge she foresaw in her dreams that Obi Wan kept telling her not to think about. She was traumatized by the information of his death and mad that he never really listen to her describe her dream to him as it might’ve saved his life. One day at sixteen she’s sent to hunt down her first Jedi survivor, she finds The Jedi easily but midway in her encounter with The Jedi comes across a hologram message The Jedi held onto from Obi Wan Kenobi warning all remaining Jedi not to come back to the temple, and wait because a new hope will emerge. She looses it. Obi Wan lied to her about returning to save her, and left her to die. Her mind then warps those thoughts with memories of being taught not to have attachments by The Jedi and realizes Obi Wan prioritized his mission as a Jedi over his promise to come back and rescue her. Out of rage she murders The Jedi. She starts to believe Obi Wan’s message to warn Jedi from heading to the temple meant that he was still life out there somewhere and somehow despite the evidence. She knew about Darth Vader’s endless search for Kenobi since he told all of the Inquisitors to leave any sign of Kenobi’s possible survival to him. She decided she now has a mission of her own. Find and capture Kenobi before Vader can. In her plan once she captures Obi Wan he will answer for lie he fed her before letting her go through all that suffering then she would gladly hand him over to Vader and The Empire. In my version she would be similar to Anakin in the sense that she didn’t like the no attachment rule and she hated the idea that she would have to become one with the force when she’s dead and there is no promise of revival. Life meant a lot to her. Despite not knowing her past that well like most Jedi she wouldn’t want to embrace the teachings of having to let go, the very thought of Kenobi’s death after the purge drove her to the Darkside when she first became an inquisitor so she’s a very emotional character. But at a young age her fear of loss would turn into hatred for those who leave her behind, when she finds out Kenobi is alive she’s excited only to realize that he never came back for her like he said he would and that he like every other Jedi has taught her not be attached to anyone meaning that she feels he purposefully left her behind because she didn’t matter to him as much as whatever mission he had to do. During her time as a Youngling she felt like The Order has neglected her because they weren’t as close to her as she was to them often seeing them as close family and beyond the practice of student and teacher. This would show that she was never interested in even being a Jedi, she just wanted a family. Her family gave her away to The Jedi and now from her point of view The Jedi aren’t the perfect family she wanted them to be. She feels like The Jedi & Kenobi owed her a better life because they took her in and all she has now is trauma and hatred due to being taken in. She’ll try to hunt down and catch Kenobi but her plans fail at every turn when Obi Wan Kenobi constantly outsmarts her and stops her plans no matter how complicated they get with not even The Empire receiving any proof of Kenobi’s whereabouts and believing she’s gone mad, she ends up trying to compete with Vader on the hunt for the possible survival of Kenobi as she knows he’s alive but with no evidence and her looking more crazy everyone including Vader starts to doubt her which officially makes her a rogue force user criminal who’s now being hunted down by Darth Vader & The Other Inquisitors for her failure to follow any order at all based on her fixation with Kenobi and her competing with Vader that even The Empire finds confusing. Palpatine also begins to deem her a problem so he also decides she has to die. Reva ends up disappearing into the outer rim where she believes she finally found Kenobi. Obi Wan encounters her on Tatooine after her searching leads her there they have an emotional duel where she demands answers for why he left her while trying to get Revenge only for Obi Wan Kenobi to defeat her in the duel due to his rational mind. He then has a heart based conversation with her about everything that happened and why he disappeared convincing her to leave Tatooine and start a new life under the criminal underworld still hiding from The Empire among bounty hunters. With her missing The search for her continues but Palpatine looses interest in her possible survival & Vader pissed at her disappearance because he wonders if there is a possibility that she may have been on to something but changes his mind after a talk with Palpatine and spending time at Padme’s graveyard in the rain.
@@DespotofAntrim this wouldn’t even be the main plot, this was part of my fan treatments of what I would have done if I handled the Kenobi Show. I worked on this when the trailers first came out. The main plot would’ve been Obi Wan learning from , The Whills, Yoda, & Qui Gon on how to become a force ghost and how to keep Luke safe while finding the best way to prepare him for his journey as a Jedi. Through Obi Wan’s training with The Whills especially he wouldn’t just learn how to become a force ghost or how to handle Luke as he’s not sure when he’ll be ready for Training as a Jedi, but he’ll also be alerted by The Whills during his training about Reva’s mission to capture him and he’ll use the force with the assistance of The Whills to figure out various ways to defeat all her plans without leaving Tatooine. Obi Wan would have some doubts and opinions about The Whills instructions about how to move forward believing in ideas that he think would make the situation better but he would constantly be reminded that events must play out The Way The Whills have foreseen in order for him to accomplish his mission. The show would have three side plots, 1.) Spending time with Luke through bonding as well as keeping him safe. This would be where they form they’re relationship though it won’t be the closest one since Luke still doesn’t know too much about it him by Episode 4 besides him being an old hermit. 2.) Obi Wan thinking back to the past of his time as a Youngling and Padawan before The Phantom Menace. This would cover possible interesting unseen events about his life which would put most of the focus on him and further his character. They’re will also be flashbacks to events between episodes 1 , 2 & 3 to further his character dynamics with Anakin throughout the years before he turned. 3.) Meeting two young Runaway Jedi on Tatooine who he would bond with but worn to stay hidden from The Empire named Jett & Fern. Obi Wan would run into them and form a bond with them once they remember him but they want revenge against The Empire, & The Sith for what they’ve been through. Obi Wan tries to warn them to not to seek revenge as not just is it against The Jedi code but they’ll put they’re own lives at risk. Due to a disagreement on this matter they part ways which ends tragically as they leave Tatooine and head to Coruscant to kill Vader & The Emperor as revenge thinking they’ll prove Kenobi wrong. Darth Vader & his battalion kill them along with anyone else they rallied behind them in the journey along with any residents on Coruscant who choose to rebel against The Empire. Obi Wan senses this and it hits him hard as he starts to feel some level of doubt for him training Luke in the future but he holds strong. The Reva side plot would be built up over the course of three seasons for the show but the end of it would reserved for a season 3 series finale.
I know its basically wasted effort to correct you about your absurd anti-woke philosophy, but disney has no actual woke agenda. They simply suck at writing good stories, suffer from a complete lack of creativity and have zero clue about the franchise, which they try to cover up by pointless pandering.
I'm so used to giving a show or a movie a chance to make moments pay off, that something has to be really bad (Like Rings of Power bad) for me to stop watching. This lulled me into a slumber and the episodes were short. At this point watching, I was just so used to being disappointed, I didn't care enough to hate it. The existence of a second Vader/Kenobi fight, breaks the canon anyway.
I've been hounded by my mates for months to watch this. So I got hold of my sisters Disney login and gave it a go. About half way through the first episode I noticed my shoes were perhaps a bit too tight. Not wanting to loosen them I thought I'd wiggle my toes around a bit. It didn't work, so I started rocking my ankles from side to side. That kind of helped, but it still felt like they were too tight. I keep a bear-claw back-scratcher on my bookshelf so I decided to look at that for a bit, kind of wanting to use it, but not even sure I could be arsed to get up. Anyway I ended up taking my shoes off and falling asleep. I can't wait to watch episode 2.
I only got through it because it was like watching a train wreck in slow motion, I knew Star Wars was shit but I honestly could not believe that it had gotten THIS bad.
Ah Christ, this was funny, I was dying by the end. I can't wait for ep 2, I'm dying to hear about your irregular cornea internal hemorrhoid and the agony of jock itch. 😂
Kenobi was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. First we had the God awful Sequel Trilogy. Okay, maybe they can make some show that retcons some of the more nonsensical stuff and gives it more heft and meaning. If Clone Wars could do that for the Prequels, there's no reason the Sequels shouldn't be able to pull something like that off. Then I remembered Rey was a Mary Sue and every other character was about as interesting as a plank of wood. I got my hopes up when they revived Clone Wars for a 7th season. Yay! Aaaaaand it's only three 4-episode arcs, one of which is only there to promote a new show coming to Disney Plus. The Season 7 we got was alright, and I enjoyed the Siege of Mandalore finale, but goddamn there was so much more room to build on the universe. Not to mention they completely skipped Son of Dathomir so Maul's return makes no sense if you haven't read the comic. But it's whatever, at least the show has a semi-proper ending now. Then Kenobi was announced, and I was hyped af I didn't pay attention to any of the Twitter battles or any of that garbage because I figured it was just modern Disney being modern Disney (which it kinda was). I figured a Kenobi series would be a softball, a slam dunk for Disney! There are so many interesting themes to explore during Obi-wan's exile. We could explore how he deals with his failure of keeping Anakin in the Light, or how he finds new purpose as Luke's guardian. Hell they could even have Qui-Gon train him to become a Force Ghost, that's an element of the Force that's hardly been explored in the shows and movies. It could have shown a cool new side to both Obi-wan, Qui-Gon and the Force itself, and maybe explore some of the ideas that George never got to. This show would have been 10x better if it were more psychologically focused. Obi-wan would definitely have PTSD after Palpatine swindled him and Yoda with the Clone Wars and turned his own apprentice against him, and again it could have been an interesting take on Obi-wan's postwar life. Instead, we got Reva: A Star Wars Story (featuring Obi-wan Kenobi). The fact that they could miss such an amazing storytelling opportunity staring them in the face made me lose any and all hope regarding the live action side of things. I'm still looking forward to The Bad Batch because Dave Filoni and his crew are actually somewhat competent, but it's honestly not much of an improvement over the rest of Star Wars currently. As a wise man once said, "I don't count being competent as a real improvement. That is the bare minimum."
The problem is the same as The Terminator movies, once you start going over and over the same timeline again and again it just gets messier and messier and makes less and less sense each time. See also, the X-Men movies. I enjoy a film and TV critic who does not hold back. Thank you Mister Despot, I hope you will consider ruling over Australia. We could use a good laugh or two right about now.
when disney+ asked ''why no one is watching andor'' because it's their alleged attempt at crowd pleasing/following the criticism...my answer was simple: I unsubscribed after Obi was lobotomized and Boba was neutered.
I honestly think Andor is shit, I gave up on episode 5, the characters are utterly boring and lifeless, it's pretentious, joyless content, not entertainment or art.
My issue is we need to make female characters feel normal or natural, most modern wokesters would rather give us subpar or blunt characters with one single trait that just represents today’s social topics instead of actual characters. When Mara Jade was made she was just an interesting character. Luke, Han or Leia weren’t beaten down just to build her up. Same for Ahsoka at least when Lucas ran Star Wars.
What Hollywood doesn't seem to get is that you can't make good production companies work for you if your ultimatum is "you have to have so many of X" working for your company to work with Disney so these good production crews don't get hired and they are the ones that made movies like blade runner, Terminator 2, The matrix, or the original crew that made the first three Star wars films yes they're still alive not working in Hollywood anymore
They get it, but they're pathological. They've sworn their very souls to the evil ideology of "current year" and couldn't stop themselves even if they tried.
Am i the only one who laughed at loud at the little girl running away from grown men on foot and somehow they just cant catch her? Makes perfect sense. After all, just because your legs are longer and you have many times the muscle mass and are only life two feet, definitely doesn't mean most green men can catch a six year old. Wtf.
This entire limited series is just Obi Wan 's hallucination after smoking those death sticks out of boredom at Tatooine. This is really Trainspotting in Space . There never was Reva or some silly Grand Inquisitor. There never was a Vader vs Kenobi confrontation until the events of a New Hope.
Reva surviving is an easy one. Shes not a human, didnt you know? Her alien species has no internal organs or spine that could be pierced by a light saber. How else do you think she survived being ran through twice? and the grand inquisitor species is the exact same way. super lucky for them, right?!
It’s actually hard to believe how Disney so utterly & completely destroyed this franchise, shoehorning in all these new characters that no one wants to see. If you want to introduce new characters into a franchise then you do it slowly, have all the new characters just have minor parts in these shows and let people slowly get used to them while still focusing the story on the characters we love. But no, they shove all these new characters down our throats and kill off or sideline the characters we actually want to see. I was done with Star Wars after the Last Jedi, and I’ll never again watch anything so long as they own the franchise.
"... Like an uninvited guest that just won't fuck off!" I couldn't have put it better m'self. I've been enjoying some more of your videos as well as this one. New subscriber for you here.
In the top 5 worse shows of 2022 no doubt. This was nothing but a shit failed cash grab by Disney that nailed another nail into the Star Wars coffin. More than half the fans are already out the door, and I can't imagine the damage this show have done to the IP.
You should do a ranking all the star wars movies and tv shows video, please watch star wars visions and star wars resistance, they are so bad that it is just amazing content to hear you complain about them, I subscribed because of it! Keep up the good work! I agree with you on this to some extent, I respect your opinions on this, I thought the show was mid and that the first half of the show was very uneventful.
The whole series was me waiting for things to happen, something to pay off. Only thing i actually liked a bit was when Vader pushed obi into that fire. The rest bored the hell out of me... But i couldn't stop because i was so damn sure there would be some kind of payoff or cool moment, anytime now. But nope. I'm actually amazed how the actual F you can F up something this bad. This pc bs is cancer.
Perfect review. I couldn't even finish it. An embarrassment. Diversity over development. Lucasfilm and its current fanbase should be ashamed. Lol great thumbnail!
Your videos make me laugh all the time man. My dad got me into star wars and I've been a fan since I was a little kid, it's my favorite franchise of all time because of the magic it brings and it got me into writing stories and into martial arts. I hate how crappy the series has become and I wish it could just die now because of how bad it is. Love The Videos though, constant entertainment man, you got my subscription :)
I was thinking about it recently and I'm going to have to do a retrospective on this train wreck at some point, it is honestly one of the worst things I have ever seen. It actually boggles the mind just how fucking bad it really is.
Judging from how bad the cinematography, editing, acting, props, production design, choreography, lighting, contrast and camera work were, I would guess that this was indeed directed entirely by the diversity hire Chow.
@@DespotofAntrim In that case, brilliant chess move by Favreau. I work for the government and I do that to women wanting to compete at my level, and when they fail...humility! Who am I kidding, another excuse emerges but their reputation is irrevocably damaged
There's one upside to this show though, it has the best scene in history when Obi Wan spent more time disabling that laser fence over the road than it would have taken to walk around it. Which also makes the placement of the fence and lack of more fencing connected to it as unrealistic and stupid as the rest of Star Wars since 1983. For the reddit virgin zombies: It could also be driven around, so it was not a vehicle block.
The whole series was clumsy - bad acting, the sets looked cheap and the story was badly scripted. Grown adults chasing Leia was absolutely laughable. Reva was the worst character because she was extremely annoying. The only bit I liked was Vader’s line admitting to Kenobi, he killed Anakin Skywalker. That’s it. 0.1/10
Why did she jump from a roof to a wall back to the same roof ? I hope I missed something that made that make sense, the shake cam is absolutely insane, it's like a bad fourth wall break like someone is filming it in real time in the world lol
The drinker made a complete fool of himself by insisting that some ridiculous woke/feminist agenda exists in Hollywood, failing to see that writers simply try to hide their incompetence by pandering.
You were being very kind limiting your list to only 10 things. This series was awful. We wanted Obi-Wan, but Disney gave us the Reva show. Who asked for this?
I stopped watching it after 4 episodes. I couldn't handle it anymore. Bad acting and badly told stories and action sequences that insult your intelligence
My approach to Reva’s character would’ve been different. She would been this cunning, manipulative Inquisitor who tricks people into trusting her before stabbing them in the back like a scorpion. She would be very persuasive in language and mind games. Her character would fight similar to Palpatine, she would want revenge on Kenobi not because it had anything to do with Anakin but more because she had a close bond with Jedi Master Obi Wan Kenobi as a young ling during Pre Revenge Of The Sith, Prequel Era. She would’ve been a new young ling taken in The Jedi Order by Obi Wan Kenobi , they would bond over the years of her young age and as a result she would’ve formed an unconscious father daughter based attachment to him. During her time as a Youngling. She would often have nightmares about the temple with Jedi being slaughtered, corpses everywhere. Obi Wan would constantly tell her the same thing he told Anakin when he had bad dreams, “Dreams Pass In Time…” but that wasn’t enough for her. She began to have another bad dream that Obi Wan would die on his next mission assigned by The Jedi Council to capture General Grevious, The Jedi Hunter. Shot down by a canon while on pursuit she described to Obi Wan. He told her he would return after his mission and assure that not just are things fine but the war is almost over and all her nightmares can finally end. This was before he would go to finally say goodbye to Anakin and head to Utapau. She was mad that he didn’t really listen to her but believes he will come back to see her after his mission after all he always came back to see her after his missions. After that she experiences hell, Order 66 happens, she flees for her life with any surviving younglings during Anakin & The 501st slaughter. She ends up getting lost from the other younglings during the chaos and is once again a lone. She hides away in the temple and falls asleep in terror. When she wakes up she heres no killing. That’s when Palpatine appears behind her alone, she expects she’ll die but he doesn’t kill her. He takes her and puts her into his Inquisitor program where she meets the other inquisitors and Darth Vader. All the trauma and torture they put her through drives her mad as they teach her the ruthless ways of The Darkside traumatizing her even more and warping her mind. Her fear was being alone and having no one that cared about her so she spent years of her life believing Obi Wan Kenobi was dead by The Imperial reports, during the purge she foresaw in her dreams that Obi Wan kept telling her not to think about. She was traumatized by the information of his death and mad that he never really listen to her describe her dream to him as it might’ve saved his life. One day at sixteen she’s sent to hunt down her first Jedi survivor, she finds The Jedi easily but midway in her encounter with The Jedi comes across a hologram message The Jedi held onto from Obi Wan Kenobi warning all remaining Jedi not to come back to the temple, and wait because a new hope will emerge. She looses it. Obi Wan lied to her about returning to save her, and left her to die. Her mind then warps those thoughts with memories of being taught not to have attachments by The Jedi and realizes Obi Wan prioritized his mission as a Jedi over his promise to come back and rescue her. Out of rage she murders The Jedi. She starts to believe Obi Wan’s message to warn Jedi from heading to the temple meant that he was still life out there somewhere and somehow despite the evidence. She knew about Darth Vader’s endless search for Kenobi since he told all of the Inquisitors to leave any sign of Kenobi’s possible survival to him. She decided she now has a mission of her own. Find and capture Kenobi before Vader can. In her plan once she captures Obi Wan he will answer for lie he fed her before letting her go through all that suffering then she would gladly hand him over to Vader and The Empire. In my version she would be similar to Anakin in the sense that she didn’t like the no attachment rule and she hated the idea that she would have to become one with the force when she’s dead and there is no promise of revival. Life meant a lot to her. Despite not knowing her past that well like most Jedi she wouldn’t want to embrace the teachings of having to let go, the very thought of Kenobi’s death after the purge drove her to the Darkside when she first became an inquisitor so she’s a very emotional character. But at a young age her fear of loss would turn into hatred for those who leave her behind, when she finds out Kenobi is alive she’s excited only to realize that he never came back for her like he said he would and that he like every other Jedi has taught her not be attached to anyone meaning that she feels he purposefully left her behind because she didn’t matter to him as much as whatever mission he had to do. During her time as a Youngling she felt like The Order has neglected her because they weren’t as close to her as she was to them often seeing them as close family and beyond the practice of student and teacher. This would show that she was never interested in even being a Jedi, she just wanted a family. Her family gave her away to The Jedi and now from her point of view The Jedi aren’t the perfect family she wanted them to be. She feels like The Jedi & Kenobi owed her a better life because they took her in and all she has now is trauma and hatred due to being taken in. She’ll try to hunt down and catch Kenobi but her plans fail at every turn when Obi Wan Kenobi constantly outsmarts her and stops her plans no matter how complicated they get with not even The Empire receiving any proof of Kenobi’s whereabouts and believing she’s gone mad, she ends up trying to compete with Vader on the hunt for the possible survival of Kenobi as she knows he’s alive but with no evidence and her looking more crazy everyone including Vader starts to doubt her which officially makes her a rogue force user criminal who’s now being hunted down by Darth Vader & The Other Inquisitors for her failure to follow any order at all based on her fixation with Kenobi and her competing with Vader that even The Empire finds confusing. Palpatine also begins to deem her a problem so he also decides she has to die. Reva ends up disappearing into the outer rim where she believes she finally found Kenobi. Obi Wan encounters her on Tatooine after her searching leads her there they have an emotional duel where she demands answers for why he left her while trying to get Revenge only for Obi Wan Kenobi to defeat her in the duel due to his rational mind. He then has a heart based conversation with her about everything that happened and why he disappeared convincing her to leave Tatooine and start a new life under the criminal underworld still hiding from The Empire among bounty hunters. With her missing The search for her continues but Palpatine looses interest in her possible survival & Vader pissed at her disappearance because he wonders if there is a possibility that she may have been on to something but changes his mind after a talk with Palpatine and spending time at Padme’s graveyard in the rain.

same bad acting as giancarlo esposito. hes just weirdly calm or shouts constantly the same as that actor. no one can fight darth vader and have a chance.
I honestly can't get enough of angry fanboys raging over Disney Star Wars. I mean, you are the ones who drove George Lucas away from his own creation. You happy now? 😂
I think the $5 billion Disney paid him had a lot more to do with him leaving his creation than the opinions of internet people. You can fellate Disney all you want, if won't stop their inevitable and glorious collapse.
@@DespotofAntrim Yeah. That´s probably why he donated most of it lol Besides, I would be all for a "glorious collapse" of Disney Star Wars, but I´m not holding my breath. It probably won´t matter,anyway, because I don´t think anybody else (besides Lucas, who won´t come back at his age) could capture the Star Wars magic.

The show has no heart. It's like ordering a pie and discovering it has no filling.
Agreed! Very well put. When I finished this series one of my initial thoughts was: 'Well that was... pointless.'
For several weeks I kept seeing a trailer for Kenobi as youtube ads. It featured this amazing quote by Reva: "Send the probes *DEW IT*...........now." Gave me serious "first take was only take" vibes.
She was something else.
I mean we're using digital cameras here and Data cartridges aren't cheap oh wait they are
I find you spot on with your assessment. the biggest problem is that disney has no interest in storytelling, each movie and show is just a woke cult manefesto of their beliefs and philosophy, such as it is. the complete lack of logic is because their beliefs and philosophies are that vapid and pointless based mostly on victimhood and hatred.

He told her he would return after his mission and assure that not just are things fine but the war is almost over and all her nightmares can finally end. This was before he would go to finally say goodbye to Anakin and head to Utapau. She was mad that he didn’t really listen to her but believes he will come back to see her after his mission after all he always came back to see her after his missions.
After that she experiences hell, Order 66 happens, she flees for her life with any surviving younglings during Anakin & The 501st slaughter. She ends up getting lost from the other younglings during the chaos and is once again a lone. She hides away in the temple and falls asleep in terror. When she wakes up she heres no killing. That’s when Palpatine appears behind her alone, she expects she’ll die but he doesn’t kill her. He takes her and puts her into his Inquisitor program where she meets the other inquisitors and Darth Vader.
All the trauma and torture they put her through drives her mad as they teach her the ruthless ways of The Darkside traumatizing her even more and warping her mind. Her fear was being alone and having no one that cared about her so she spent years of her life believing Obi Wan Kenobi was dead by The Imperial reports, during the purge she foresaw in her dreams that Obi Wan kept telling her not to think about.
She was traumatized by the information of his death and mad that he never really listen to her describe her dream to him as it might’ve saved his life. One day at sixteen she’s sent to hunt down her first Jedi survivor, she finds The Jedi easily but midway in her encounter with The Jedi comes across a hologram message The Jedi held onto from Obi Wan Kenobi warning all remaining Jedi not to come back to the temple, and wait because a new hope will emerge. She looses it. Obi Wan lied to her about returning to save her, and left her to die. Her mind then warps those thoughts with memories of being taught not to have attachments by The Jedi and realizes Obi Wan prioritized his mission as a Jedi over his promise to come back and rescue her. Out of rage she murders The Jedi.
She starts to believe Obi Wan’s message to warn Jedi from heading to the temple meant that he was still life out there somewhere and somehow despite the evidence. She knew about Darth Vader’s endless search for Kenobi since he told all of the Inquisitors to leave any sign of Kenobi’s possible survival to him.
She decided she now has a mission of her own. Find and capture Kenobi before Vader can.
In her plan once she captures Obi Wan he will answer for lie he fed her before letting her go through all that suffering then she would gladly hand him over to Vader and The Empire.
In my version she would be similar to Anakin in the sense that she didn’t like the no attachment rule and she hated the idea that she would have to become one with the force when she’s dead and there is no promise of revival. Life meant a lot to her. Despite not knowing her past that well like most Jedi she wouldn’t want to embrace the teachings of having to let go, the very thought of Kenobi’s death after the purge drove her to the Darkside when she first became an inquisitor so she’s a very emotional character.
But at a young age her fear of loss would turn into hatred for those who leave her behind, when she finds out Kenobi is alive she’s excited only to realize that he never came back for her like he said he would and that he like every other Jedi has taught her not be attached to anyone meaning that she feels he purposefully left her behind because she didn’t matter to him as much as whatever mission he had to do. During her time as a Youngling she felt like The Order has neglected her because they weren’t as close to her as she was to them often seeing them as close family and beyond the practice of student and teacher. This would show that she was never interested in even being a Jedi, she just wanted a family. Her family gave her away to The Jedi and now from her point of view The Jedi aren’t the perfect family she wanted them to be.
She feels like The Jedi & Kenobi owed her a better life because they took her in and all she has now is trauma and hatred due to being taken in.
She’ll try to hunt down and catch Kenobi but her plans fail at every turn when Obi Wan Kenobi constantly outsmarts her and stops her plans no matter how complicated they get with not even The Empire receiving any proof of Kenobi’s whereabouts and believing she’s gone mad, she ends up trying to compete with Vader on the hunt for the possible survival of Kenobi as she knows he’s alive but with no evidence and her looking more crazy everyone including Vader starts to doubt her which officially makes her a rogue force user criminal who’s now being hunted down by Darth Vader & The Other Inquisitors for her failure to follow any order at all based on her fixation with Kenobi and her competing with Vader that even The Empire finds confusing. Palpatine also begins to deem her a problem so he also decides she has to die.
Reva ends up disappearing into the outer rim where she believes she finally found Kenobi. Obi Wan encounters her on Tatooine after her searching leads her there they have an emotional duel where she demands answers for why he left her while trying to get Revenge only for Obi Wan Kenobi to defeat her in the duel due to his rational mind. He then has a heart based conversation with her about everything that happened and why he disappeared convincing her to leave Tatooine and start a new life under the criminal underworld still hiding from The Empire among bounty hunters. With her missing The search for her continues but Palpatine looses interest in her possible survival & Vader pissed at her disappearance because he wonders if there is a possibility that she may have been on to something but changes his mind after a talk with Palpatine and spending time at Padme’s graveyard in the rain.
@@DespotofAntrim this wouldn’t even be the main plot, this was part of my fan treatments of what I would have done if I handled the Kenobi Show. I worked on this when the trailers first came out. The main plot would’ve been Obi Wan learning from , The Whills, Yoda, & Qui Gon on how to become a force ghost and how to keep Luke safe while finding the best way to prepare him for his journey as a Jedi. Through Obi Wan’s training with The Whills especially he wouldn’t just learn how to become a force ghost or how to handle Luke as he’s not sure when he’ll be ready for Training as a Jedi, but he’ll also be alerted by The Whills during his training about Reva’s mission to capture him and he’ll use the force with the assistance of The Whills to figure out various ways to defeat all her plans without leaving Tatooine. Obi Wan would have some doubts and opinions about The Whills instructions about how to move forward believing in ideas that he think would make the situation better but he would constantly be reminded that events must play out The Way The Whills have foreseen in order for him to accomplish his mission. The show would have three side plots,
1.) Spending time with Luke through bonding as well as keeping him safe. This would be where they form they’re relationship though it won’t be the closest one since Luke still doesn’t know too much about it him by Episode 4 besides him being an old hermit.
2.) Obi Wan thinking back to the past of his time as a Youngling and Padawan before The Phantom Menace. This would cover possible interesting unseen events about his life which would put most of the focus on him and further his character.
They’re will also be flashbacks to events between episodes 1 , 2 & 3 to further his character dynamics with Anakin throughout the years before he turned.
3.) Meeting two young Runaway Jedi on Tatooine who he would bond with but worn to stay hidden from The Empire named Jett & Fern. Obi Wan would run into them and form a bond with them once they remember him but they want revenge against The Empire, & The Sith for what they’ve been through.
Obi Wan tries to warn them to not to seek revenge as not just is it against The Jedi code but they’ll put they’re own lives at risk. Due to a disagreement on this matter they part ways which ends tragically as they leave Tatooine and head to Coruscant to kill Vader & The Emperor as revenge thinking they’ll prove Kenobi wrong. Darth Vader & his battalion kill them along with anyone else they rallied behind them in the journey along with any residents on Coruscant who choose to rebel against The Empire. Obi Wan senses this and it hits him hard as he starts to feel some level of doubt for him training Luke in the future but he holds strong.
The Reva side plot would be built up over the course of three seasons for the show but the end of it would reserved for a season 3 series finale.
I know its basically wasted effort to correct you about your absurd anti-woke philosophy, but disney has no actual woke agenda. They simply suck at writing good stories, suffer from a complete lack of creativity and have zero clue about the franchise, which they try to cover up by pointless pandering.
"I'm trying to watch this show and she just never phucks off" LMAO
I'm so used to giving a show or a movie a chance to make moments pay off, that something has to be really bad (Like Rings of Power bad) for me to stop watching. This lulled me into a slumber and the episodes were short. At this point watching, I was just so used to being disappointed, I didn't care enough to hate it. The existence of a second Vader/Kenobi fight, breaks the canon anyway.
The first episode shit the bed for me when the 8 year old girl out-ran the three hairy arsed blokes over 200 meters. 🤣🤣
I actually couldn't believe how bad this show was, I honestly thought they would have learned from TLJ failure but...
The scene where Reva was doing flying leaps over the rooftops just to show how AWESOME she is... That was serious cringe.
If cringe is the shits, that was pure diarrhea.
I don't watch anything Disney but that was spectacular. Loved every minute
Gee, I wonder why the male characters had no agency while invincible females did all the decision making?
The dance fight scene between Vader and Reaver had me rolling on the floor laughing 😂
I've been hounded by my mates for months to watch this. So I got hold of my sisters Disney login and gave it a go. About half way through the first episode I noticed my shoes were perhaps a bit too tight. Not wanting to loosen them I thought I'd wiggle my toes around a bit. It didn't work, so I started rocking my ankles from side to side. That kind of helped, but it still felt like they were too tight. I keep a bear-claw back-scratcher on my bookshelf so I decided to look at that for a bit, kind of wanting to use it, but not even sure I could be arsed to get up. Anyway I ended up taking my shoes off and falling asleep. I can't wait to watch episode 2.
I only got through it because it was like watching a train wreck in slow motion, I knew Star Wars was shit but I honestly could not believe that it had gotten THIS bad.
@@DespotofAntrim it’s saddening how much Star Wars has fallen from grace because of Kathleen Kenedy’s and her woke ideology way of leading
Ah Christ, this was funny, I was dying by the end. I can't wait for ep 2, I'm dying to hear about your irregular cornea internal hemorrhoid and the agony of jock itch. 😂
Reva was by far the worst part of the show, to add insult to injury the actress accused people not a fan of her character of racism, GG on that.
5:39 *TEN YEARS OLD?* She looks and acts like five!
The absolute balls they had to use Star Wars Jesus, a man and character that’s beloved by all to make what they did…
You misspelled gall. The absolute GALL...
Kenobi was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. First we had the God awful Sequel Trilogy. Okay, maybe they can make some show that retcons some of the more nonsensical stuff and gives it more heft and meaning. If Clone Wars could do that for the Prequels, there's no reason the Sequels shouldn't be able to pull something like that off. Then I remembered Rey was a Mary Sue and every other character was about as interesting as a plank of wood.
I got my hopes up when they revived Clone Wars for a 7th season. Yay! Aaaaaand it's only three 4-episode arcs, one of which is only there to promote a new show coming to Disney Plus. The Season 7 we got was alright, and I enjoyed the Siege of Mandalore finale, but goddamn there was so much more room to build on the universe. Not to mention they completely skipped Son of Dathomir so Maul's return makes no sense if you haven't read the comic. But it's whatever, at least the show has a semi-proper ending now.
Then Kenobi was announced, and I was hyped af I didn't pay attention to any of the Twitter battles or any of that garbage because I figured it was just modern Disney being modern Disney (which it kinda was). I figured a Kenobi series would be a softball, a slam dunk for Disney! There are so many interesting themes to explore during Obi-wan's exile.
We could explore how he deals with his failure of keeping Anakin in the Light, or how he finds new purpose as Luke's guardian. Hell they could even have Qui-Gon train him to become a Force Ghost, that's an element of the Force that's hardly been explored in the shows and movies. It could have shown a cool new side to both Obi-wan, Qui-Gon and the Force itself, and maybe explore some of the ideas that George never got to. This show would have been 10x better if it were more psychologically focused. Obi-wan would definitely have PTSD after Palpatine swindled him and Yoda with the Clone Wars and turned his own apprentice against him, and again it could have been an interesting take on Obi-wan's postwar life.
Instead, we got Reva: A Star Wars Story (featuring Obi-wan Kenobi). The fact that they could miss such an amazing storytelling opportunity staring them in the face made me lose any and all hope regarding the live action side of things. I'm still looking forward to The Bad Batch because Dave Filoni and his crew are actually somewhat competent, but it's honestly not much of an improvement over the rest of Star Wars currently. As a wise man once said, "I don't count being competent as a real improvement. That is the bare minimum."
The problem is the same as The Terminator movies, once you start going over and over the same timeline again and again it just gets messier and messier and makes less and less sense each time. See also, the X-Men movies. I enjoy a film and TV critic who does not hold back. Thank you Mister Despot, I hope you will consider ruling over Australia. We could use a good laugh or two right about now.
rouge one Vader would have eaten this girl up in 2 seconds flat. As he should.
I see in her performance something of the trap that Morfydd Clark falls into: strong independent woman = overacted angry face
Yes, both have the cringy exaggerated angry face, but I have to say Clark is nowhere near as bad as the Reva actress, she was something else.
@@DespotofAntrim i dont know, that angry galadreil face is a thing of nightmares if you ask me!
when disney+ asked ''why no one is watching andor'' because it's their alleged attempt at crowd pleasing/following the criticism...my answer was simple: I unsubscribed after Obi was lobotomized and Boba was neutered.
I honestly think Andor is shit, I gave up on episode 5, the characters are utterly boring and lifeless, it's pretentious, joyless content, not entertainment or art.
@@DespotofAntrim I agree. I stopped watching midway episode 8. It was boring af.
@@DespotofAntrim to be fair, art is subjective
My issue is we need to make female characters feel normal or natural, most modern wokesters would rather give us subpar or blunt characters with one single trait that just represents today’s social topics instead of actual characters.
When Mara Jade was made she was just an interesting character. Luke, Han or Leia weren’t beaten down just to build her up.
Same for Ahsoka at least when Lucas ran Star Wars.
What Hollywood doesn't seem to get is that you can't make good production companies work for you if your ultimatum is "you have to have so many of X" working for your company to work with Disney so these good production crews don't get hired and they are the ones that made movies like blade runner, Terminator 2, The matrix, or the original crew that made the first three Star wars films yes they're still alive not working in Hollywood anymore
They get it, but they're pathological. They've sworn their very souls to the evil ideology of "current year" and couldn't stop themselves even if they tried.
Am i the only one who laughed at loud at the little girl running away from grown men on foot and somehow they just cant catch her? Makes perfect sense. After all, just because your legs are longer and you have many times the muscle mass and are only life two feet, definitely doesn't mean most green men can catch a six year old. Wtf.
Fantastic video as usual. I love your honest, and accurate, takes. You deserve more views!
Great stuff! Just found the channel, I love your perspectives
Thank you! I was a bit green green around the gills when I made this video but I'm working hard to improve. Glad you enjoyed it!
Obe Wan was meant to be on Tatooine looking over/protecting Luke. Leaving g with Leia was a dissertation of his responsibilities...
Yes. Complete dereliction of duty.
This entire limited series is just Obi Wan 's hallucination after smoking those death sticks out of boredom at Tatooine. This is really Trainspotting in Space .
There never was Reva or some silly Grand Inquisitor. There never was a Vader vs Kenobi confrontation until the events of a New Hope.
They love putting in certain spoken lines etc to keep the simple minded clapping seals happy.
I know it's utterly pathetic.
Star Wars died when George Lucas sold it to Disney bottom line anything Disney does with this franchise is pointless rest in peace Star Wars
Star Wars has been artistically dead since the takeover, Andor's hard flop has confirmed it as commercially dead.
New subscriber. Wonderful and well researched. Thank you for creating and posting your videos. I have been enjoying them very much.
Thanks for the sub! Glad you are enjoying the videos.
Reva surviving is an easy one. Shes not a human, didnt you know? Her alien species has no internal organs or spine that could be pierced by a light saber. How else do you think she survived being ran through twice?
and the grand inquisitor species is the exact same way. super lucky for them, right?!
It’s actually hard to believe how Disney so utterly & completely destroyed this franchise, shoehorning in all these new characters that no one wants to see. If you want to introduce new characters into a franchise then you do it slowly, have all the new characters just have minor parts in these shows and let people slowly get used to them while still focusing the story on the characters we love.
But no, they shove all these new characters down our throats and kill off or sideline the characters we actually want to see. I was done with Star Wars after the Last Jedi, and I’ll never again watch anything so long as they own the franchise.
Officially, I'm the 1000 viewer 😅, great channel, greetings from Colombia.
Thank you! When I made this video I never thought it would get 1000 views, amazing. I dated a Colombian girl once, but have unfortunately never been.
Lemme guess ... what could it be? ... Hold on, I'm think'n ...
Agree most wholeheartedly.
"... Like an uninvited guest that just won't fuck off!" I couldn't have put it better m'self. I've been enjoying some more of your videos as well as this one. New subscriber for you here.
Thanks for the sub! And thank you for noticing that line, the whole 'Reva thing' was quite an experience, and that line encapsulates it for me.
In the top 5 worse shows of 2022 no doubt. This was nothing but a shit failed cash grab by Disney that nailed another nail into the Star Wars coffin. More than half the fans are already out the door, and I can't imagine the damage this show have done to the IP.
You should do a ranking all the star wars movies and tv shows video, please watch star wars visions and star wars resistance, they are so bad that it is just amazing content to hear you complain about them, I subscribed because of it! Keep up the good work! I agree with you on this to some extent, I respect your opinions on this, I thought the show was mid and that the first half of the show was very uneventful.
Thanks for the suggestion. I have made a note to watch those.
Don’t sugar coat it…tell us how you really feel!!!
The whole series was me waiting for things to happen, something to pay off.
Only thing i actually liked a bit was when Vader pushed obi into that fire.
The rest bored the hell out of me... But i couldn't stop because i was so damn sure there would be some kind of payoff or cool moment, anytime now. But nope.
I'm actually amazed how the actual F you can F up something this bad.
This pc bs is cancer.
Only Kathleen Kennedy aka Darth Karen could've done this much damage to Star Wars
I love your channel. Superb breakdowns and hilarious!
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying the videos.
Perfect review. I couldn't even finish it. An embarrassment. Diversity over development. Lucasfilm and its current fanbase should be ashamed. Lol great thumbnail!
3:50 I agree it looked like a dance but I think that showed how Reva wasn't shit next to Vader more than anything else.
Your videos make me laugh all the time man. My dad got me into star wars and I've been a fan since I was a little kid, it's my favorite franchise of all time because of the magic it brings and it got me into writing stories and into martial arts. I hate how crappy the series has become and I wish it could just die now because of how bad it is. Love The Videos though, constant entertainment man, you got my subscription :)
Very intelligent interpretation. This show was stale to the core. It’s a poisoned well of writing.
I was thinking about it recently and I'm going to have to do a retrospective on this train wreck at some point, it is honestly one of the worst things I have ever seen. It actually boggles the mind just how fucking bad it really is.
The script was terrible. Reva was annoying as Fark
Deborah Chow didn't have Jon Favreau doing everything for her but letting her say "action" and then being listed as the director.
Judging from how bad the cinematography, editing, acting, props, production design, choreography, lighting, contrast and camera work were, I would guess that this was indeed directed entirely by the diversity hire Chow.
@@DespotofAntrim In that case, brilliant chess move by Favreau. I work for the government and I do that to women wanting to compete at my level, and when they fail...humility! Who am I kidding, another excuse emerges but their reputation is irrevocably damaged
There's one upside to this show though, it has the best scene in history when Obi Wan spent more time disabling that laser fence over the road than it would have taken to walk around it. Which also makes the placement of the fence and lack of more fencing connected to it as unrealistic and stupid as the rest of Star Wars since 1983. For the reddit virgin zombies: It could also be driven around, so it was not a vehicle block.
The whole series was clumsy - bad acting, the sets looked cheap and the story was badly scripted. Grown adults chasing Leia was absolutely laughable. Reva was the worst character because she was extremely annoying. The only bit I liked was Vader’s line admitting to Kenobi, he killed Anakin Skywalker. That’s it. 0.1/10
Why did she jump from a roof to a wall back to the same roof ? I hope I missed something that made that make sense, the shake cam is absolutely insane, it's like a bad fourth wall break like someone is filming it in real time in the world lol
Despot, your analysis of topics is excellent, and just as good as the critical drinker. Well done.
The drinker made a complete fool of himself by insisting that some ridiculous woke/feminist agenda exists in Hollywood, failing to see that writers simply try to hide their incompetence by pandering.
Baby Leia is that 8-year-old niece that every leftie supposedly had, that shook her fist at Trump.
And performed neo-Freudian psychological analysis on toxic teenage boys.
How on earth did you narrow it down to ten ?
"Like sh*t to a blanket.. "
Notice how Obi Wan is blue and Vader is red? Democrats are “good” and republicans are “bad” 🤨
Oh phuck off. You been mad since 1977?😂
You were being very kind limiting your list to only 10 things.
This series was awful.
We wanted Obi-Wan, but Disney gave us the Reva show. Who asked for this?
I stopped watching it after 4 episodes. I couldn't handle it anymore. Bad acting and badly told stories and action sequences that insult your intelligence
I was done with the show by then but kept watching out of horrified curiosity to see just how bad it could get. It got worse.
There is a new fan edit coming out soon that addresses the issues you have mentioned
Disney time after time f up Star Wars I hope they sale it to someone who cares about it.
Terrific video. One of despots best.
I'm from the future... It will be Emmy nominated! 😂
Counted 10 reva's on the thumbnail
pls make 20 min videos, these are fine but too short.
I'm currently working on a video that is over 30 minutes, though I worry that might be pushing it.
Can't argue with that.
My approach to Reva’s character would’ve been different.
She would been this cunning, manipulative Inquisitor who tricks people into trusting her before stabbing them in the back like a scorpion. She would be very persuasive in language and mind games. Her character would fight similar to Palpatine, she would want revenge on Kenobi not because it had anything to do with Anakin but more because she had a close bond with Jedi Master Obi Wan Kenobi as a young ling during Pre Revenge Of The Sith, Prequel Era. She would’ve been a new young ling taken in The Jedi Order by Obi Wan Kenobi , they would bond over the years of her young age and as a result she would’ve formed an unconscious father daughter based attachment to him. During her time as a Youngling. She would often have nightmares about the temple with Jedi being slaughtered, corpses everywhere. Obi Wan would constantly tell her the same thing he told Anakin when he had bad dreams, “Dreams Pass In Time…” but that wasn’t enough for her.
She began to have another bad dream that Obi Wan would die on his next mission assigned by The Jedi Council to capture General Grevious, The Jedi Hunter. Shot down by a canon while on pursuit she described to Obi Wan. He told her he would return after his mission and assure that not just are things fine but the war is almost over and all her nightmares can finally end. This was before he would go to finally say goodbye to Anakin and head to Utapau. She was mad that he didn’t really listen to her but believes he will come back to see her after his mission after all he always came back to see her after his missions.
After that she experiences hell, Order 66 happens, she flees for her life with any surviving younglings during Anakin & The 501st slaughter. She ends up getting lost from the other younglings during the chaos and is once again a lone. She hides away in the temple and falls asleep in terror. When she wakes up she heres no killing.

Due to a disagreement on this matter they part ways which ends tragically as they leave Tatooine and head to Coruscant to kill Vader & The Emperor as revenge thinking they’ll prove Kenobi wrong. Darth Vader & his battalion kill them along with anyone else they rallied behind them in the journey along with any residents on Coruscant who choose to rebel against The Empire. Obi Wan senses this and it hits him hard as he starts to feel some level of doubt for him training Luke in the future but he holds strong.
The Reva side plot would be built up over the course of three seasons for the show but the end of it would reserved for a season 3 series finale.
sw ended in 83 with rotj, end of story. idk y anyone has trouble understanding that
_"hello there"_
Now hear hear!
It really was terrible. Absurd that anyone would have enjoyed this show; I think the people who claim to are lying.
same bad acting as giancarlo esposito. hes just weirdly calm or shouts constantly the same as that actor. no one can fight darth vader and have a chance.
Esposito wasn't great in Mando, I have to say, but he was considerably better than that shrieking idiot they brought in to play Reva.
Y know I thought the show was oretty good when I watched it but after watching this video im like "was it really that bad"
Yes, yes it was
I REALLY feel bad for Ewan McGregor
As much as I like him,both as an actor and a person, this show...... didn't do him any favors
I suspect he wanted to show fans the Obi-Wan we know and Disney just didn't have room for it after their laundry list of cultural Marxism.
Worse than the Christmas special lol
this show was so awful man..
I know that the actress of reva was bad but just because they cast a black person doesn’t mean it’s only for diversity
Uh huh. She's just LOVELY & so talented- an immediate ICON. 😂😂😂😂
Iam black...and I know its mostly for diversity and nothing else.
I honestly can't get enough of angry fanboys raging over Disney Star Wars.
I mean, you are the ones who drove George Lucas away from his own creation.
You happy now? 😂
I think the $5 billion Disney paid him had a lot more to do with him leaving his creation than the opinions of internet people. You can fellate Disney all you want, if won't stop their inevitable and glorious collapse.
@@DespotofAntrim Yeah. That´s probably why he donated most of it lol
Besides, I would be all for a "glorious collapse" of Disney Star Wars, but I´m not holding my breath. It probably won´t matter,anyway, because I don´t think anybody else (besides Lucas, who won´t come back at his age) could capture the Star Wars magic.
Guess who works for Disney? 😂
It was ok 👌
Agreed.
Get on EFAP, you'll fit right in
