I like to think Thrawn's art voodoo is total bullshit that he just affects as a way to seem even smarter, which...I guess requires him to be even smarter.

Nothing seems to have any narrative weight or heft to this show. The heroes and villains just shuffle between episode to episode with no consequences because the series demands 2 more episodes. Obi's burns? Relevant for the 20 second opening then back to business. Maybe it's better expressed as zero dramatic stakes. Tala beats up an imperial guard no less than like 10 feet away from three people stationed at a computer and everything just shuffles along.

It's the forgone conclusion of being a prequel. Nothing can happen to Obi-Wan, nothing can happen to Leia, nothing can happen to Vader. The story is trapped in a box.

I feel like part of the problem is that the choose the wrong characters. Nobody complains that we "know" what happens in any kind of real world historical movie. Band of Brothers isn't cheapened by going in knowing the Allies win the war. Inglorious Basterds isn't "trapped in a box" just because we know Hitler dies in a theater. Rambo isn't bad because we know that ex-soldiers led a proletarian revolution against the police in what would become the Oregon Free State.

Arc Hammer posted:I've seen clips of Thrawn in rebels and apparently they added a bit of restrained sociopathy to his character? He had a bit of banal cruelty in the OG books but it was more that he was using the tools of a sadistic and uncaring Empire to his advantage rather than taking pleasure in their application. Meanwhile animated Thrawn has some anger issues and he makes a saboteur execute himself. To be 'fair' he did that to stop anyone else from sabotaging their equipment. It wasn't cruelty for its own sake. Still one of the most hosed up moments in the show that didn't involve Sabine planting bombs around a poor innocent shuttle droid, though.

Were the Jedi trapped in amber meant to be specific recognisable characters? That whole scene had the 'pandering to deep lore nerds' smell to it.

I know I said Kenobi leading Tiny Leia out in a trenchcoat was the worst disguise in the history of the world, but I think I know how they could have fixed it. He should have put Leia on his shoulders and made her wear the imperial hat for the full two-kids-in-a-trenchcoat look.  It would have been the greatest scene in Star Wars history.

I can't think of a way to justify that other than they wrote it last minute, Just stick her in a crate and carry it out or something, I know storm troopers have bad vision but they must have passed a few security checkpoints on the way out.

It's really weird to me that as the daughter of the Space President or whatever, Leia hasn't been given like, a five-minute primer on, 'here's how you act/behave to help your security detail to protect you'. There's really not a code word or phrase that, in the event of a kidnapping/them being separated, an actual rescuer sent by her father would have be able to say to confirm their identity to her? She's the future head of state, ffs. Similarly, they're not ditching/destroying literally everything they took from the Imperial Base, including clothing? I guess this does tie into, 'Thrawn is basically competent, so by Star Wars standards he's a mega-genius', thing.

The disguise thing didn’t really bother me, because j don’t think it was intended to really fool anyone. Nobody was really paying attention due to the distraction caused by the Rebel operative.
