Fuck no. That's as wrapped as a story can get.
They can absolutely do another season.
Just make the focus smaller. Local trouble on Tatooine. Show Luke and Biggs racing T-16 Skyhoppers.
End on a fun connection to ANH. Ewan with white hair, sitting in his hut, fondling his lightsaber. Off in the distance, a Tusken Raider bellows through the Jundland Wastes.
"Blast! I'm really getting too old for this sort of thing."

I enjoyed his boulder leap into the high ground, and then he used his offhand to land the decisive blow from above. Vader can't lift his arms over his head. Power move by Obi-Wan.
I don't think *think* we've seen that move from him before but there might be something similar in the duel with Maul. There was some fun choreography in there. [Reply]

MY EMOTIONS
Also love LOVE LOVE the way they used "hello there." They kept that powder dry the whole time :-).
Vader getting his helmet cut open on the opposite side where Ashoka got him in Rebels was pure poetry. Ashoka gets Vader's right side, Obi-Wan gets Vader's left side, emphasizing the master/student relationship between each party. (Obi to Anakin's left, Anakin to Ashoka's left).
In the end they both leave him and neither can get through to Anakin.
Only Luke, who stays with him until the end, no matter what, can fully unmask Vader.
Vader's lines really show you what a psychotic break Anakin has had. He's mentally ill. He's a victim.
Qui-Gon was perfect. Just the way Ewan said "Master Qui-Gon" and Liam said "Obi-Wan."
Exactly how they pronounced their lines in the Phantom Menace.
We need a season 2 with Obi-Wan absolutely wrecking the flora and fauna of Tatooine in defense of Luke.
"Your Uncle can hold off a Tusken raiding party with one blaster!"
GIMME
Yes, all above thoughts as well! Yes, GIMME :-) [Reply]

That reminds me, I thought the young actor they chose for Luke looked absolutely ridiculous. Not sure what I expected, but that was NOT it. He just kind of had a dumb look that bothered me. [Reply]

The character was not great. It nearly killed the show...there was nothing Reva brought to the table that one of the other Inquistors could not have done---Have the show start with the Grand Inquistor in the Jedi Archives, studying Kenobi's history....have him make the connection with Bail Organa and go from there.
Reva's whole motivation is the last episode was shit---I am going to avenge my youngling friends by killing a fucking child--are you kidding me?
It is pretty clear that Lucasfilm took a look at the characters in this story and realized that they were all already established, and that they had no "representation" in the show...so they scrambled around with rewrites and came up with Reva.
If Reva had died in Chapter 5 like she fucking should have (apparently getting sliced through by a lightsaber is just a fucking flesh wound now days)...then I might not be as critical of her story arc....but her reasonings and motivation in Chapter 6 make no sense, and honestly, I wanted Owen to nail her with his blaster like he does when Tusken Raiders come around.
Overall I liked the show, but Reva is right up there with Rose Ticco and those asshats in The Last Jedi--they bring nothing good into the Star Wars universe. [Reply]

Most kids have that dumb look.
They really wanted to show innocence, and blind optimism. It makes the realization of who his father is that much worse. [Reply]

This was my biggest problem with it as well. Made no sense at all.
Just like Vader leaving her alive made no sense at all. And of course Kenobi leaving Vader alive made no sense at all, except for the fact that he couldn't be killed without ruining the continuity of the show. But killing her off would have been fine. Would have made more sense if another inquisitor found the hologram and went to Tatooine, and Kenobi had greased him just as he was about to kill Luke.
Oh well. It had some stinky plot holes, but still I liked it. [Reply]
