yeah I don’t get the hate. It was an 8 year old girl that got the part. Are we expecting even good acting from an 8-10 year old?
Want to talk about bad casting decisions, let’s talk about one of the all time worst, Anakin. Not made by Kathleen Kennedy but the esteemed founder of this whole universe. [Reply]
I feel like Obi wan is going to have to wipe Leias memory of him to protect her. Given how she talks to him in A New Hope, it’s far less formal from a person who you likely remember saving your life when you were young. I’m looking forward to when he actually shows up though, I feel they made him look too weak in this episode, and expecting him to come back now, with a serious burn injury, and be able to beat Vader is a bit too far fetched. It’s been fun so far, looking forward to the last three episodes. [Reply]

Bacta + a couple weeks training. No big deal. [Reply]

Maybe he doesn't come back to defeat Vader. Could be that Obi Wan rescues Leia and returns her to Alderan, then goes back into hiding to keep watch over Luke.
Spoiler!
In Episode IV "A New Hope" Obi Wan loses to Vader in a lightsaber duel.
Bet during their second duel it's more even and Reva ends up redeeming and sacrificing herself so that Obi Wan can get away. If they go that route the reception to it will be...... Interesting. [Reply]

I don't think there is any need to spoiler that. :-)
With all the additions to the story since 1977 (particularly Kenobi dispatching Maul like he was cutting through a paper bag), I think it's fair to assume that he probably could have defeated Vader, but instead deliberately sacrificed himself to create enough of a distraction to allow Luke and Leia to escape.

We'd talked about that earlier, and I think I sort of understand the perspective others have a lot more now. Does some of your dislike stem from the fact they've, for lack of a better way to put it, torn Obi Wan down in order to prop her up? Sort of like Rey and Luke from TLJ? [Reply]
