I watched Kenobi episode 1 so you don't have to.
Starts kind of strong with a bit of clusterfuck of a retelling of obi-wans journey. If you didn't watch the prequels you wouldn't know what the fuck was going on but i liked it. Then we get to see part of order 66 that is coregraphed to hell. Clone trooper are portrayed as being as retarded as stormtroopers and the Jedi act more like they are in a dance battle then a fight for their lives. But still the costumes look ok and the sets atleast doens't look so cheap that they will fall apart.
After that scene we jump 10 years to the present and get introduced to our big bads.
Wtf. Is all I have to say the leader looks nothing like an Pauan. They are not even a similiar colour or facial shape just obviously a human with some makeup. I can't even tell what clusterfuck of a race the second chuckle fuck is and the third is of course ma stronk black female. The costumes look like some cheap shit you would see in a low budget fan film most of it is spray painted plastic, but they couldn't even be bothered to make it worn. The armor dosen't really flatter their bodyshapes either they are suposed to look like intimidating warriors and instead look like the breakroom of a cosplay competion.
The trio in clown makeup go in to some random backwater bar in Tatooine and the bartender knows what they are and what they do. They then do a long speech about how the jedi can't help but to help and how he knows they are hiding him. Actually ok dialouge, ends with one of them attemtping to take the bartenders life but the jedi saves him with the force. But we already have some problems here. How would these people know what an inqusitor or jedi are? Most people on Tatoine are busy just trying to survive and most of them are not gonna give a fuck about poltics or space wizards. Besides I don't think a Jedi could last 10 years revealing their identity to people as there is bound to be a nice fat check for whoever turns them in. Scene ends with the jedi escaping and the head honcho repremanding the stronk black woman for being reckless.
Tweleve minutes in to the show we are taken to what looks to be a Krayt dragon skeleton in the dessert where we are giving a nice panning shot until the camera zooms in and we see our BOI Kenobi working as a butcher. It shows his inner jedi almost dead as he does nothing to stop one of his coworkers being bullied. Then Kenobi travles to anchorhead after his shif is finished he then uses and eopi to travle to his cave. We then get nice little scene of Kenobi in his cave talking to a visiting jawa. The jawa sells him a model of that little ship luke uses to shot womprats, Kenobi also gets news of the other jedi we saw at the bar. Scene cuts and we are seeing Kenobi watch over luke and sneak in to leave him the toy. The jedi from the bar has survived and he has stalked Obi-wan trough the desserts to Lukes home. He recognized him in Anchorhead and asks him for advice. Kenobi tells him to fuck off, give up and burry his saber the guy refuses to do so and asked what happend to the once great jedi. So far so good. Nothing offensivly bad!
I spoke to soon as a the new scene is on Aldreean with young Leia. Im not a fan of this portrayal of Leia showing her as some wild rulebreaker. She runs of from her obligations and goes to climb trees instead. Her mother finds her and reprimands the child Leia claps back. I can only hope that they are actually setting up some kind of character arc and its not just gonna be #GIRLBOSS for the entire show.
We cut back to Kenobi who's in Anchorhead just back from another shift where he meets up with Owen who is upset at his breech of privacy and tells Kenobi to stay away while Obi-wan wants to train the boy. In the middle of their argument they get interrupted by inqusitors who do some wierd ass bad cop good cop rutine, they cause a scene in the middle of the square. The guy who looks like a dying chinese man promises a reward while the black woman is a total psycho cutting of hands of random people who question her authority. She singles out Owen and yells at him and says she will kill him and his family unless the jedi reveals himself. The dying chinese man reprimands her and she reveals that the reason shes such a bitch is cause she wants that BKC.
We then get another child Leia scene where we get some more CLAP BACKS when she spouts of at her cousin. She tells him to not be rude to droids and that he's not gonna make an orginal decion in her life. The cousin tells her that shes not a real Organa. Cut to bails office where Bail reasures her that she is and tells her to aplogize, she runs off in to the woods again and here we go! The scene that this very thread have been meming about where a 10 year old child almost outruns 3 hardened space pirates. The pirates abuct her and it cuts in to Obi-wan getting contacted by Bail pleading with her to rescue her as they can't send anyone else cause nobody knows of Leia, Obi-wan refuses. They then show that all of this is really a trap setup by our black kween. Another day passes and Obi-wan is just off another shift in anchorage and they show the Jedi from the intro scen strung up to one of the overpasses. It looks kind of funny actually. I guess this was suposed to be the point where he changes his mind.
Kenobi gets back to his cave and Bail is there he tells Obi-wan he must rescue her and be the old Kenobi he used to know. He then goes out in to the dessert to dig for something pan shot and it show a box with his and Anakin's lightsaber.
