One day in the future. My wife actually mentioned having braids like that as a kid back in the 90s.@DKDetective, we are going to need photos of you know who with Lil Leia's new hairdo. The Force wills it!
These first two episodes might have been the biggest shift betweenhighs and lows in my Star Wars fandom. I'm going to be spending the next 4 episodes begging the former security guard to be okay.
The Grand Inquisitor was a Jedi Temple Guard.
It begs the question, why she didn't ask Ben, the guy who saved her, as opposed to Obi-Wan Kenobi, the guy who served her father in TCW. Between Lil Leia and the upcoming Vader fight, they have decided to mess with the original flick hard. We are totally going to meet the trash compactor monster.
Oh that's what you meant. I thought you meant you were begging someone at Lucasfilm that used to be a security guard to make sure the next 4 episodes are good.The Grand Inquisitor was a Jedi Temple Guard.
While I'm not the biggest fan of Dawson's Ahsoka, that at least has some time pass. She's at a different point in her life. There really is no reason for the GI to be any different here. But again, it doesn't feel like anyone involved here is aware of these characters' existence.
Total geek out moment.
Compromise is little kid Leia playing adult Leia opposite horrifying monster Luke.
Honestly, probably the best chance I got, so I'll take it!
Ewan has said before that he tried to emulate Alec's Ben as the character aged so he's probably doing it deliberately in the show.
I earned him seeing each prequel in the theater multiple times. Oh, and Moulin Rouge.
Multiple times? Ok, yeah, you earned him.I earned him seeing each prequel in the theater multiple times. Oh, and Moulin Rouge.
It's basically the same character. When we had the underwhelming scene of the inquisitors trying to intimidate the populace of Tatooine to give up any local Jedi, it reminded me a lot of very similar scenes of Isaacs doing the same in The Patriot trying to find American rebels. And well doing it soWhile I'm not the biggest fan of Dawson's Ahsoka, that at least has some time pass. She's at a different point in her life.

And The Patriot. God, that takes me back.
I totally see it. And the Patriot was my first exposure to Issacs, who was by far my favorite part of that movie. Which is saying something, because I do love it. I've always been drawn to early American history, and Mel's crazy stare going against Issacs' British arrogance. Perfection.It's basically the same character.

much better!
And just as he was then, he is by far the best damned thing about this show. The unevenness and sloppy continuity reminds me a ton of the prequels....maybe they are deliberately trying to copy that feel?
Even going through my bitter phase with the prequels, I watched them a ton. It was very love and hate. Now, it's just love.
In a few years, we will get her following her dad to the capital. She'll sit in Padme's pod. I'll cry.
