The wookie youngling survived! (Yes, they are starting to have a "way too many Jedi survived" issue)

Quote from: FunkMonk on May 27, 2022, 08:25:51 PMI wonder if in 20 years the sequel trilogy will become beloved. :hmm:

I grew up with the original trilogy, and they are beloved to me.

My kids grew up with the originals and prequels, and rate them all about equally good I think.

I think the better question is - in 20 years will the sequel trilogy be welcomed back in the fold.
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

Watched second episode of Kenobi.  The two cent thug summed up the episode well - "I can't believe you fell for it"

Yeah, exactly!  And by the way once Vader finds out that there is a connection with Kenobi, how does he not put two and two together?


This is what happens when you use the Prequels as source material.

Vader only appears at the end of the episode in a bacta tank.

The only one who saw Kenobi is the 3rd Sister, a glimpse of him.  Everyone else is dead. 

He'll make the connection, he'll investigate for sure.

The third sister made the connection between Kenobi and Leah and Kenobi bit on it.  The third sister knows Kenobi was there.  Her intention was to take Kenobi to Vader.

The actor playing the third sister is being attacked by vile online racist scum.

Third episode of Kenobi is sadly a clusterfuck.

Vader did not order the 3rd sister to kidnap Leia to get to Kenobi.  Vader would not be the kind to kidnap a child to get to Kenobi, and the Senator would not act, at this point in time, overtly against the Senate, unless they both knew for sure the Organa were still in contact with Kenobi.

If that was the case, Vader would go there with his 501st, arrest Organa, torture them both for the location of Kenobi.

The 3rd Sister acted independently to gain favor from Vader.  That's often how Sith works.  Vader just generally prefers brute force.

Why?  I thought she was very good in her role.

I think he might be missing the point that if the third sister can make the connection why can't Vader. Also you're missing the point that the third sister is highly motivated to please theatre so why wouldn't she telling him.

You really have to do a lot of mental gymnastics to make this plotline work at all.

The fact that they are racist scum might just be the explanation

Wrong skin colour AND gender, I assume.
