Star Wars

Sweet action for kids 'n' cretins. Marjoram and capers.

We watched the first episodes of Obi-wan Kenobi this evening. Pretty meh, but it does maintain the Star Wars tradition of annoying child characters/actors.

MacGregor seems less wooden than in the movies.

Without Lucas’ hand at the tiller, it’s hard to generate such oak from an actor.

Im a fan for sure but how are the "storm troopers" such ineffectual fighters. Its like they took the worst possible fighters/marksmen etc. So awful at what they do.

Further to this, what's the point of their armour? Has it ever been shown to stop anything?

Nope. They shoot and it gets deflected back and down they go.

Stormtrooper armor prevents but bites and potential malaria outbreaks on the death star, duh
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Isn't it a little early for you to be that drunk?

We finished watching Obi-Wan Kenobi this evening. My takeaway from Revenge of the Sith was that Obi-Wan could have done a great deed with a mercy killing at the end, so he should feel great guilt for what he didn't do. Yeah, guess what asshead doesn't do when he gets another chance? Obi-Wan is the secret villain of Star Wars.

Right? Same fucking mistake twice. I want to say there's nobody but my own kids that I wouldn't cut down with a 2nd chance. But I also realize they need to shoe horn shit in to the established canon.
