It feels like Disney is still scared just like Lucasfilm was to really explore that universe and tell some stories about people and things removed from the big galactic wars. Like from what I’ve seen even the mandalorian still keeps treading the same waters. They had a blank slate to work with but nope we gotta put the force back in there, obi wan, luke, han, a dude that looks like boba fett, baby yoda, etc.

Mando Season 1’s best aspect was that they kept the references to one liners and visual stuff. Season 2 where they introduce all the tie in content gets pretty bad pretty fast.

Me this morning: Oh cool the Obi Wan trailer dropped! It’s light on details but looks kinda hype, also EWAN BAYBEEEEE!

Me reading this thread: well I guess I’ll go fuck myself then :what-the-hell:

spoiler

I do seriously hope it doesn’t suck though, I’d never forgive Disney for making a truly bad Obi-Wan show

I do wonder if they’ll ever make something so blatantly terrible that it actually makes me stop watching Star Wars. If Rise of Skywalker didn’t do it I’m honestly not sure what will.

OMG THAT’S DUEL OF THE FATES I RECOGNIZE THIS MUSIC :xi-pog: :che-poggers: GIVE ME SHOOTY BLASTY YUMMY YUM YUMS

Fr I wish we got a six hour “Obi Wan wanders the desert and contemplates life” series where there’s no action, just some conversation and long shots of sand, but alas we’re condemned to more shiny slop with a million lightsabers popping off on an “irrelevant backwater.”

I, for one, would watch the hell out of Terrance Malik’s Obi-Wan Kenobi

Half of the runtime is just a long shot of a supernova and other space explosions followed by interactions between a rancor and a pack of wild banthas

I would absolutely prefer a small, quiet Obi Wan series, but this looks better than I expected.

Which means it will be dogshit, lmao, did ya’ll see the book of boba fett? holy fuck was that bad.

It looks way too big. Why are we off world? Who the fuck are these red lightsaber folks running around? Anybody heard of the Rule of Two?!

Thankfully I have not—Rise of Skywalker killed my interest in this universe so completely that I doubt I’ll ever come back.

I’d be entirely okay with not spending another entire show on Tatooine. That place is boring as shit and I’m sick of it

My guess is that Obi Wan stays on the move, or decides to start moving, because he doesn’t want to draw Imperials to Luke’s location. Then when the hunt for Jedi dies down he can retire to Tatooine without having to worry about it.

Also those guys are literally the Spanish Imperial Inquisition.

Me, circa 2009: “Man an Obi-Wan spin-off show would be kinda neat”

I’ve always had the theory that Obi Wan was out trying to stop the empire and Luke actually just ran into a nutcase hermit named Old Ben. Same with Yoda, he never went to live in a swamp. Also turning into a blue ghost isn’t a Jewish thing. The real Obi-Wan meets Luke later and they’re both really confused but glad it worked out anyway

Why would that be a Jewish thing? I thought the Jedi were Space Buddhists.

Breadtube if it didn’t suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It’s open submission unless there’s something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it’s currently in.
