Just watch it. Kenobi is shown to be by far the most effective Jedi tactician and one of the few without his head entirely up his own ass.Ninja-Jedi? Lol. I hate that shit.
Obi-Wan was already great in the prequels.
I’m going to watch Clone Wars and Rebels even though, frankly, the pre-empire stuff doesn’t interest me as much.
I am going to have to rewatch the prequels though.
Probably in order as you suggest.
He does get clowned by Dooku pretty hard in both Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.Obi-Wan had one of the best performances in the entire prequel trilogy. You’re crazy.
When you compare Ep 2 and Ep 3 Jedi to Obi-Wan he is, hands down, the best. If he is more badass in the cartoon, cool, but he already was the best.
He was.No reason not to assume Dooku wasn’t a master swordsman and force user. He was a Sith Lord, no?
As much as I loved the last two episodes, I thought it was kinda telling how they shifted the focus away from the title character. Compared to those two Mando-centric ones, the Boba episodes have been flat, and boring.Unrelated to the current discussion but Boba Fett better actually be a badass in tomorrows episode or I’m gonna be a bit disappointed.
Clone Wars goes out of its way to show that nobody is right in the war.What does it say about the Jedi Order when a single man (Palpatine) fabricates a 10+ year crisis, instigates a war, and involves the Jedi order to fight against a side who fundamentally did nothing wrong?
Will the Clone Wars answer my questions?
He was.
But you'll see what I mean when you watch the movies again. The Obi-Wan we see against Dooku looks utterly worthless next to the Obi-Wan who beats Vader in the very same movie, even though Vader easily decapitates Dooku.
How embarrassing for the Jedi.
It was the best Rodriguez ep at least. I enjoyed it well enough.Boba Fett finale was alright.
I don't think we need to see Robert Rodriguez direct any future episodes. If I were to rank this season's episodes, the four he didn't direct would be the top four.
I thought the big battle scene dragged and got a bit silly but yeah, it was much better than episode 1 or episode 3.It was the best Rodriguez ep at least. I enjoyed it well enough.
Yeah I think that's the point tho. Even Mace Windu said it in one of the movies - We are keepers of the peace, not soldiers. But then they started getting embroiled into political bullshit, worrying about how the Order would look if they opposed the government, etc etc. They were no longer servants of the Force, they were servants of the current regime, be that Republic or not. And then their insistence on avoiding attachment and being human really fucked em too.
High Republic era Jedi were different. They sometimes didn't even follow the Jedi Order itself, they went their own way and specifically served the Force.
The Jedi we see in the Prequels (and Clone Wars) are a shadow of what they used to be. The only ones that really saw that were people like Qui-Gon Jinn, Quinlan Voss (who lost his way anyway), Bariss Offee, and Ahsoka. Only Ahsoka didn't see it until way later. That's why she's refusing to train Grogster, or even really stick around for Luke's school.
In the end, I think that's why Luke's school failed. He tried to stick to the ways of the Jedi during the fall of the republic. Too strict.
edit: And this is why I actually like that Yoda basically called it bullshit and destroyed Luke's little library. EVEN THEN - Dumbass Rei kept those books. So even any Jedi that come from her are gonna be retarded.
