Just saw a video posted by Star Wars Theory over two hours long for breaking down the Kenobi trailer.

A 2 hour breakdown session for a 2 minute trailer for a show that's expected expected runtime is 4.5-6 hours.

That's crazy, right?

Right?

*clicks on video*

Too lazy to move this to an embeddable location

But immediately thought of certain a posters when I saw this

Star Wars Theory is way too much for me.

Yeah, that dude weirds me out. I'm well aware of how seriously we take this sh*t, compared to most people, but that guy is in a league of his own. He's like a dour, no-nonsense pastor/biblical scholar, giving Very Important YouTube Talks... except it's Star Wars. As if the Force is a real, actual thing, and the souls of mankind hang in the balance.

You've explained what I've felt about him so clearly here.

Watching some of that made me feel a lot cooler than I did 15 minutes ago.

I'm not actually a fan, but he shows up in my feed often. Just taken aback at that much content over a trailer. An exciting one, but just a trailer.

Holy crap. That's so bad, it makes me embarrassed to have ever argued on the internet.

My favorite part is just watching that Darth Choco dude's expression.

I haven't watched his stuff, but I'd wager that there are 5-7 people here who could talk about that trailer for 2 hours; the guy just seemed myopic in the fact that people don't need to hear everything he can think of about it.

There is zero chance I would have kept my cam on & stayed through that CF. How many fans are even interacting through Discord? Hilarious the level of hubris that can be assumed from that discussion, and that first guy just seems butthurt that he isn't representing their little corner of the fan base. The fact that he had been thinking about it for a long time, presented such a terrible argument to Theory, & then immediately backed down under the slightest resistance is hilarious to me.

And, now, I am going to rethink my life for a) watching it and b) discussing it with strangers.

While I agree that he takes this too seriously (even for me), I do enjoy watching his reactions just because of how much he loves the prequels.

I will say it's kinda funny to me that he hates TLJ so much but did a good review of Rise of Skywalker. A movie that has SO many more problems to me.

But yeah the first kid in that video comes off like a soft and whiny *****, and the quotes he kept throwing out were cringey af.

You're surprised that someone from that generation backed down so quickly. That generation is so anti confrontation they'll do dang near anything to not argue

There's a pretty strong contingent of fans who think 7 and 9 are the good ones, and 8 is the suck one.

Based on that video, it seems as though Star Wars Theory is at fault for that.

It's been 20 years since AOTC came out and the young guy is the first person to ever say the quote "This war represents a failure to listen." out loud.

He seemed to think that line was going to get a much better reaction than it did.

I don't love 8, but it also feels like a real movie to me. I can enjoy most of it even with the stuff I dislike.

9 just feels like "things happening" in quick succession to force that final battle scene. It's hard to explain, but I can feel the strings moving along the plot in a way I never could in any Star Wars movie.

That one Anti-Trilogy video that I posted a while back did such an amazing job at laying out what each of those movies did, in a pretty in-depth analysis. It's an amazing watch.

Here it is for those who haven't watched it.

That quote is from ROTS. But yeah, it landed with a thud, which is pretty funny. Even SWT was having none of it.

I cringed so hard at that.

8 and 9 are.bad movies for different reasons


Critics love 8 but I hate it because it basically a massive girl power movie. The only male character not to be shown what to do by a woman is the "bad guy" Kylo.

9 is just disjointed mess that had to take what 7 intended and put it back after the stupid 8.

I don't like the decisions in TLJ, but honestly, I have a difficult time with people who hate TLJ but then defend TROS.

I made it 30 seconds and realized I have laundry and that's vastly more interesting than hearing what any millennial on that video has to say….

I always think it would be fun to go back in time and show something like this to the pioneers that created the internet. But then again, we might not have the internet today.

9 was just a horrible continuation of 8.

They destroyed a lot of my enthusiasm for the franchise and that's impressive since it is my first love. So bad that I've only ever watched them once which is insane for me to think about. They had a shinier and more well acted exterior vs the prequels but the story is just horrible.

So many things that were just bad and didn't make any sense.

If we're having a 7,8,9 bash fest on the Kenobi thread….

They're all "decent" movies individually. The fact that they didn't seem to communicate one coherent storyline was the problem. It felt like RJ was caught off guard by things in 7 and pivoted when he directed 8 … and then JJ re-pivoted back from 8-9 and had to wrap up about twice as much as any movie should have to.

The fundamental flaw was the lack of a clear vision and strategy from the start and team buy in to execute to that plan.

The fundamental flaw was Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012 and insisted on Christmas 2015, 2017, and 2019 releases. The boardroom demanded the creative product on schedule, quality be damned, because quarterly numbers had to be met.

All of this on a thread for a show we're all super hyped about which continues the story of movies that everyone bagged on from 1999-2005.

Looking forward to the intense love for the Poe & Finn Show, coming in 2038.

Only if Finn dies tragically in the first episode, possibly with Rose at his side

At least The Force Awakens had some cool scenes in it. I can't think of a single scene from the other two that just made me happy to see.

At least, with all the bad we got from Disney, we did get Rogue One... so not all lost.

I do think you are soulless if you weren't at least interested in the hyperspace battering ram scene.
