TV-9D9 / Re: Kenobi (Disney+) - (SPOILERS possible

Like he couldn’t have snuffed out those flames using the Force? I think that ending could have been scripted a little more effectively.

This was so stupid to me. Like, Vader puts the flames out with the Force... then 30 seconds later he can't do it a second time? Just stands there when he could have done a Lightsaber throw or something?

The only thing stupider was that shot of Obi-Wan running away from Vader, to the side behind the hill. Then they cut to Obi-Wan running back to the same spot like he forgot his cell phone, but they pretend it's a different area. I'm pretty sure they didn't even bother moving the camera or changing the background

Ugh, I guess I am the only one who REALLY did not like last night’s episode. I feel like there are two things at odds with each other going on in this show. One, the internal plots and characters and events, but more importantly how all of this activity dovetails with the rest of the movies.

They are doing an ok job with #1 but #2 is really starting to bother me. I won’t go more into it than that for now, but man, so much revisionist stuff happening.

You are not the only one. I'll delve into more spoilery thoughts later, but while I thought the episode was better than 2, it still left me wondering what the writing staff was thinking. It really felt like a first draft script at times.

And are the tax breaks really that much that Disney will forego creativity in favor of shooting in what is obviously California?

Are there any new parts on this Vader? It looks like a repack of the 40AC/2017 #45 Vader to me, but I can't remember little tiny details about the costumes anymore.

I'd be willing to bet money that this mysterious, lost planet winds up being Tatooine  ::)

I had less than zero expectations for this series after the disaster that was Book of Boba Fett, and the first two episode don't suck, but still get a resounding "meh" from me.

Calling it now, the Nightsister is one of the younglings from the beginning, who is somehow obsessed with Kenobi for not saving her or something lame.

The bounty hunters chasing Leia through the forest might be more embarrassing than that Mos Espa speeder chase in Book of Boba Fett. I had to pause it for a few minutes so I could laugh when that green alien ran into the tree branch.

I don't want to sound like a total negative nancy, so here are some things I liked: the meeting with Ben and Owen, the veteran hobo 501st Clone, Kumail being a fake Jedi for money, Flea getting non-RHCP work

$40 for a new headsculpt?

I spotted at least 10 Droids 3POs at a Walmart yesterday afternoon. This was near St. Louis. ???

Which city?

Granite City, IL (I've been here for work all week)

There's a LOT of cool stuff coming out soon, like the 20th Anniversary Legends. The Spider-Man 60th Anniversary figures from a few weeks back are awesome too, but I'm passing on most of them for space reasons.

Something weird must be going on because I saw the Target exclusive TVC Droids card 3PO at Walmart yesterday. And there were at least 10 on the pegs, so it wasn't like someone made a return with a swapped barcode.

I wound up canceling my preorder on the Merrick/Erso due to a variety of personal reasons, but Target was putting holds on my card for these for a few weeks too, which I thought was odd if these aren't ready to ship.

I recently traded for a Plo Koon figure, which arrived yesterday. Just need to track down Kit Fisto and a Geonosis Battle Droid and I'll be done with the red/black numbered line

I'll get Sev and the Comic Leia, maybe Vader and the Stormtrooper dude... and based on the emails I get from online stores, it's probably worth waiting to get everything in some sort of $40 bundle a few months after release.

I was in a small town in Florida for work last night and stopped by the Walmart and found the entire Archive wave with Revan, Leia, etc. I grabbed one 501st Clone and left the rest since I already have everything (or just don’t want the Kenobi). May pick up Leia for cheap later on but I already have 2 other versions of that figure and wonder if the new face paint apps are worth it on their own.

Hasbro Pulse delivered my 90s Retro Spidey Wave 2 a few days ago, but I haven't had a chance to even open the box yet. Excited for the new Symbiote Spidey!

I know a few people who are holding out for Hammerhead to make mafia goons... and it may be smart. I've seen what appears to be solid cases of Hammerhead at two different Targets and a Walmart.

I'm in for the Republic Commando. I'll have to order in-store since Gamestop's website won't allow me to preorder anything for whatever reason.
