My Problem with Star Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi - Part 3 - STILL disappointing

Hello and welcome back to a new video. So

I just finished watching part 3 of the new

Star Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi series, and I had

a few things to say about it. So for the

first 2 episodes, I have to say I wasn't

really impressed. The pacing was just a

bit sluggish and it felt a bit slow, and

none of the new characters were very

interesting. I didn't really like the new

villains either, and I didn't really like

the way they portrayed Obi-Wan Kenobi. I

know he lost the war and everything and

he's supposed to be down and depressed,

But I feel like they made him too cowardly

and too weak, and it's just kind of

frustrating to watch him now. But with

that being said, I have to say that I kind

of enjoyed the 3rd episode, Part 3. I felt

like it was a slight improvement over the

first 2 episodes, although there were a

few things that I found a bit weird about

it. So first of all, I want to talk about

what I liked about Part 3. I don't know if

anyone else agrees with this, but I'm kind

of feeling Game of Thrones vibes from this

new episode, and I don't think that's a

bad thing. I just feel like Disney has

taken some inspiration from Game of

Thrones for some of the scenes in this

episode. And even though usually I would

advocate originality and I think it would

be a bad thing to copy other franchises,

but Disney has just done such a bad job at

making Star Wars cool again that I

actually think it's not a bad idea if they

decided to take some inspirations from a

more superior series like Game of Thrones

that did the whole brutal fighting scenes

and grittiness really, really well.

They've done something with the

stormtroopers in this episode that feels

very Game of Thrones-y. I think it's the

way they've made the armor look

battle-worn and gritty and dirty. I think

they've done a good job at making the

stormtroopers seem like actual soldiers in

this episode instead of just cannon fodder

that they're usually portrayed as in the

Star Wars franchise. I really enjoyed the

scene with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Leia sitting

in the back of that transport vehicle and

those 4 stormtroopers get in the back. I

really enjoyed the conversations and the

banter they have between Obi-Wan Kenobi

and themselves. It just kind of made them

seem more believable as enemy soldiers

that were supposed to be feared. And this

kind of brings me back to my Game of

Thrones comparison. This scene really

reminded me of the scene in Game of

Thrones when the Hound and Arya go into

that inn to eat some chicken, and then the

king's soldiers also walk in and start

questioning the Hound, and then they They

have that really amazing fight inside of

the inn, which was really brutal and

gritty. And even though Leia was still

kind of annoying the way she kept speaking

and then nearly blowing their cover, I

thought the scene was pretty cool. And I

was really hoping for Obi-Wan to have like

a really gritty, brutal fight, fistfight

on the back of the transport. I think they

really missed an opportunity to make this

really gritty and brutal, intense

fistfight on the back of the transport,

but instead they waited for the transport

to stop moving, and then they just had a

pretty boring blaster shootout. Although I

have to say, I was really surprised at the

end of the shootout when Obi-Wan shoots

that last stormtrooper up on the tower,

and then he falls onto the laser barricade

and he gets cut in half. And I was really

pleasantly surprised. I was just so happy

to see this level of violence in Star

Wars. I just couldn't believe they cut the

stormtrooper's body right in half just

like that. So vividly and visually. It was

pretty refreshing to see, although it was

kind of ridiculous at the end of the fight

how Obi-Wan starts trying to disable the

laser barricade when they could have

easily just walked around it. I'm assuming

they disabled the laser barricade because

they were going to try and use the

transport vehicle, but as soon as he

disables the laser barricade, they carry

on running straight ahead as if they

weren't going to go back into the vehicle.

I also feel like Obi-Wan Kenobi really

looks and sounds a lot like Jaime

Lannister from Game of Thrones when he

gets captured starts growing a beard. I

even think Obi-Wan Kenobi sounds a lot

like Jaime Lannister with that very

posh-sounding English accent that Ewan

McGregor is using. I know it doesn't

really have much to do with the episode,

but I'm just getting massive feelings of

nostalgia from Game of Thrones. I just

find it kind of funny how Obi-Wan Kenobi

looks just like Jaime Lannister now, and

he's also playing the same role that the

Hound had in the way that the Hound was

looking after Arya and escorting her and

guarding her, and And now Obi-Wan is doing

the same with Leia. I just think it would

have been so great if they had a scene

where Obi-Wan walks into a cantina to get

some food, and then they get attacked by

some thugs or mercenaries or soldiers or

something, and they have a really cool

cantina bar fight where he whips out his

lightsaber. That would have been so epic.

Unfortunately, the fight scenes in Episode

3, or Part 3 in this series, was just not

very good and not very interesting. Even

though they did a good job with making the

stormtroopers look cool and gritty and

more realistic as soldiers, I was very

disappointed with pretty much all of the

combat and fighting, and when Darth Vader

finally makes his triumphant appearance,

I was kind of disappointed with the

showdown that he had with Obi-Wan Kenobi.

First of all, I was kind of surprised in a

bad way that they brought out Darth Vader

so early in the series. It's only the 3rd

episode. I thought Darth Vader versus

Kenobi showdown would be more towards the

final few episodes. I'm pretty sure most

people were mainly watching this Kenobi

series because they were looking forward

to seeing Darth Vader make a reappearance

and seeing him confront Obi-Wan and have

an epic fight. The fight just wasn't

really that epic, and now that they've

blown their trump card of using Darth

Vader, I don't really see how they can

carry on the momentum of keeping the

viewers' interest afterwards. So first of

all, I thought it was pretty cool how

Darth Vader menacingly walks down that

street and just brutally Force chokes a

bunch of random townspeople. I think they

did a pretty good job at making him seem

scary and ruthless. I really enjoyed

seeing the fear in Obi-Wan Kenobi's eyes

as he finally finds out what Anakin

Skywalker has become. But instead of

getting a really cool fight scene between

the two, what we get is basically Obi-Wan

just running away like a coward. We

finally get a bit of a lightsaber battle

when Darth Vader somehow manages to

teleport himself right behind Obi-Wan. I

don't see how Darth Vader can sneak up on

anyone when his breathing is so loud. And

they have a very short lightsaber fight,

but it's not very impressive. I know

Obi-Wan's supposed to be very weak now

after hiding out on Tatooine for such a

long time, but come on, he was supposed to

be one of the most powerful Jedi during

his peak. I was just expecting him to be

able to fight back a little bit better. I

just feel like the choreography of the

lightsaber fight was very boring and dull,

wasn't very good. But the worst bit about

the fight was at the end when Darth Vader

Force lifts him into the air and then

pulls him towards that flame and then

drags him into the flames. It's kind of

silly how Obi-Wan didn't catch on fire.

He just starts burning in the fire, but he

should have caught on fire, especially his

robes and everything should have been very

flammable. I just thought it was really

silly how he was lying in a load of flames

and fire, but he wasn't catching on fire.

His arm was getting burnt, but he wasn't

catching on fire, which is really weird,

didn't make any sense. And then Darth

Vader uses the Force to extinguish the

fire to capture him alive, I guess. But

Obi-Wan is saved by that Imperial officer

woman who comes to his rescue by shooting

her blaster and reigniting the flames,

and that allows Obi-Wan to get away. It's

so silly how Darth Vader is just standing

there on the other side of the flames,

just staring at them going, oh damn, now

they got away. Why didn't he just use the

Force to extinguish the fire a second time

and then chase after them? It was so

silly. He just lets them get away so

easily. Darth Vader and all the

stormtroopers just stand there watching

that robot droid lift up Obi-Wan and just

casually walk away. It was just so

laughable. And I was kind of glad to see

that for most of the episode, the Third

Sister's character was kind of pushed to

the side. And I'm just kind of wondering

what they're gonna do with her as a

character now that Darth Vader has

appeared. How can we go back to feeling

any kind of interest for the Third Sister

when she's such a boring character? I'm

pretty sure no one actually cares about

her character's story of how she wants to

become powerful and become kind of like

Darth Vader's apprentice. She and the

Inquisitors, they're so unnecessary for

the story. It just seems so pointless.

People only care about Darth Vader and

Obi-Wan. Who cares about these Inquisitor

people? So in conclusion, I kind of

enjoyed some of the scenes with the

stormtroopers in the beginning of the

episode, but The Darth Vader fight was

very disappointing. It was very lacking in

luster. I'm not really sure what to expect

for the rest of the series. I'm guessing

Obi-Wan finally manages to get Leia back

to Alderaan, back to her parents, but I'm

thinking he's just gonna be constantly

trying to run away from Darth Vader. I

think they're gonna try and make us care

about the Third Sister, and there's gonna

be some kind of conclusion for her

storyline, but I just don't find that

interesting at all. I'll carry on watching

the series until the end because I'm kind

of invested now and I want to see what

happens, but I don't really have much

expectations for it to be very good.
