From what I’ve read I think it’s ten years or so ?

Right, see you fellas here tomorrow for my thoughts…..

[Bovidae]

I've just watched both episodes, but I won't spoil it. A nice little cameo in there too.

[Nepia]

Wasn't a good start, the "recap" was from the prequels. Luckily I only had a soft cushion nearby so I didn't damage my TV.

Good first episode, trying to decide whether to watch the second now or save it for the weekend.

[ACT Crusader]

Loved them both, but I’m a tragic.

[Kiwiwomble]

Yeah, watched them both, one huge question but generally enjoyed, sets could be a bit better, his cave doesn’t look anywhere near real…good story though

Loved the recap, firmly set this as continuing on the films, summed up anakins story I thought

##spoiler
They can’t have killed of the grand inquisitor, he’s the main baddie of S1 of rebels which is about 5 years after this

also don’t know how I feel about obiwan and leia…her message from a new hope kind of implied they didn’t know each other

So…..

##spoiler

Gotta say I think on the whole it was really well done. Ewen played the part of a beaten down Obi Wan really well complete with being treated like a bitch by his work supervisor who wouldn’t have dared speak to him like that if he knew who he really was……Young Leia did a good job I thought ( very obvious when she was running on the rooftops that Obi Wan would have to save her with the force )…..

I was surprised that he used a gun though ? Even as far gone as he was I would have thought he’d find it far too uncivilised. The inquisitors should make good minor villains but it seems to be building to a confrontation with DV himself ? ( I could be wrong )

Does anyone reckon he knew he was too far out of practice ( ten years ) to take on the black woman in a duel ? I suspect that was the case……

Also that old woman took losing her hand better than any previous SW character ( and there’s been a few )

Roll on episode three !!!!!!!!

Did anyone else find ep 2 almost too dark (colourwise, not content)?

Other than being set at night I didn’t notice…time for a new tv?

My tv is about a year old, so I could probably just adjust my brightness settings - I just assumed the final season GoT cinematographer was working on this.

I think it’s your TV mate, could see everything fine. That GoT episode they could have saved millions and just streamed audio.

Actually, I think they have been very clever in retro-fitting this. In ANH Leia's message starts with the same words Organa said to Obi-Wan when he asked him to help rescue her. Like it was a code used as identification.
Agree on the Grand Inquisitor. It would screw up existing canon big time if he was dead. Third Sister (Reva) doesn't re-appear in Rebels though.
Also this show is currently only a year after the Solo movie end so there is potential for a cameo along the way from any of Han, Chewie, Lando, Maul or Qi'ra

very good point, i can live with that

it would be one thing to be retconning the prequels....but i cant see feloni reconning his own series (rebels), grand inquisitor has to to survive

i didn;t hate the solo movie and was kind of keen to see a crimson dawn centric sequel

i'm still keen to see a shot for shot remake of obiwan v maul...wont happen but would be cool

[Kiwiwomble]

looks about right...id have put bad batch after clone wars

[Bovidae]

Part III has definitely been the best of the episodes so far.

##spoiler
We get the dual everyone was waiting for, and Darth Vader is a bad-arse.
