Also, was it just me or did they sort of write into the story that Reva was the one that gave Darth Vader the idea to later hide a homing beacon in the Millennium Falcon so it would lead to the rebel base in A New Hope? [Reply]

Excellent point.
I get turned around on the timeline often enough that I just kind of took it as a ripoff of an old idea by the writers.
But it didn't occur to me to consider it a throughput of sorts. I miss most of that stuff, though.
Because again - I'm still confused by whiffle bat sabers and the fact that they don't have a cross guard?. Shouldn't they have one of those? Or wouldn't LOTS of these guys have their hands chopped off?
{shrug} Space Wizards. I'll leave the physics and the Easter eggs to Clay. [Reply]

I'm confused...
I get it. Space wizards. Not that kind of movie, bruv. But c'mon - this seems like some internal consistency that would be awfully easy to put in place. Like when somebody's hand gets chopped off and instantly cauterizes, why does getting hit in the leg not take THAT off? Just fix the glitch here guys. And I don't truly care which direction you go - just make it some sort of bludgeoning device if production costs mandate. But don't make it a plasma cutter when you want it to be and a whiffle bat when you don't.
Storm troopers get hit with a blaster bolt and are dead, it took Obi-wan two strikes with his light saber to kill two different troopers.
I noticed it last night as well and it had me scratching my head a bit. But, whatever, at least we have gotten to the point in the show where he is actually using it. [Reply]

Heh. That might be the only time in Star Wars history that stormtrooper armor was effective.
Still, nothing is as bad as them getting wiped out by rock throwing teddy bears. :-) [Reply]
So I enjoyed it. I too was a bit taken out of it by Obi-Wan hacking away at dudes, but I did enjoy him finding his sealegs and thrashing them later on. I won't lie, I was dorking out.
I thought pre-teen Leia was good in this one. Particularly with Reva, but also in the shoot out. She was believable and added to the story. I also don't hate Reva as much as most.
It's not perfect and it is none too deep, but I'm having a good time. [Reply]
I guess this might be a stupid question but here it goes.
I was under the impression from A New Hope that Leia didn't really know Obi-Wan other then through name. How are they going to fix this? Or am I erroneous?
And to build on that if Obi-Wan is going to put himself in grave danger rescuing Leia not once, but twice, isn't that going to send off signals to Darth Vader the importance of Leia?
Fill me in folks.
I am enjoying this show. Episode 4 having Obi-Wan rediscover some of his Jedi skills was cool. [Reply]
If I'm 10 years old and 20 odd years later after not having spoken w/ a person who helped me so many years ago, I may have foggy enough memories of the whole thing to begin that conversation more formally before getting a little less informal as it progressed.
I mean yeah, at first blush I would say she sounds like someone in her message that never met Obi Wan. But that doesn't HAVE to be the only reading of it either. [Reply]
