My only hesitation so far is the cinematography. Something about it - at least in the two admittedly short trailers - just looks flat and dull and a little too "small"/TV-ish. It doesn't *feel* cinematic, like a big, sweeping, desert-set, planet-hoping story should. I don't know, I just thought this was going to look more epic and grand and not saturated, digital, and somewhat hand-held.
I'm not necessarily worried about it yet, but I'm also hoping for that epic, sweeping look.

Somewhat counter-intuitive, but I feel like they really need to start embracing the standard 16:9 aspect ratio (to where the image will fill our screens), rather than doing a wide cinematic format. I get that it's "more image" in that wider format, but the fact is it just makes for a smaller image when watching at home.

I know for me, I have a much easier time getting immersed in a TV show when it's a nice full image on my screen.

This, 100%. I'm so sick of the Star Wars/Marvel shows insisting on a 2.35 aspect ratio for all their TV stuff. These series will never be watched in a theater, so why even go that route? If it's to maintain some kind of presentation/framing consistency with the movies, who cares? Especially when Disney+ has started embracing the 16:9 "enhanced for IMAX" presentations for a lot of their MCU movies now.

There was a sequence in an early season two episode of The Mandalorian where the aspect ratio expanded to 16:9, and it was glorious and such a more immersive experience. Just do that... for all of it.


The exact example I was thinking of too.

I've seen others express this sentiment too and I honestly don't get the hate. He looks perfectly evil/fine to me, and nothing about his appearance sticks out as off or incomplete or anything.

It is probably limited to those of us who have watched Rebels.

I think he looks better in this pic.

Is it just the eyes that are the problem?

I don't think it's as much that as it is the fact that he doesn't match the guy we see on Utapau in ROTS, who is the same race.



Live action and animated have never matched exactly so to me that's not a big deal.

Exactly. We have a canonical live-action presentation of a member of that species.

And what it looks like in the Obi Wan trailer is a little too "alien from a Star Trek TV show" in my opinion.

That's effectively creepy. Well done on that

That part at the end talking about the lightsaber moves and how they just did some instinctual stuff in the PT that these coriographers have dissected and turned evolved into a whole fighting style for each character is hilarious...

Reminds me of Life of Bryan when the disciples pick up the sandal and the gourd and try to make their own beliefs out of the meaning of those objects when Brian is just like, "What? It's just a bloody sandal!"

Is what you mean by this is that Star Trek aliens mostly "looked" humanoid ( and there is a STNG explaination for this) and that star wars one had more odd or unique aliens?

Yea, Star Trek aliens looked like humans with cheap-ish makeup. Because it was a TV show with a limited budget.

Same approach they took for Mando, I think.

If they screw this one up, i think quite a few people will be done with Disney SW.

It was a ***** move to put him on the council but not make him a master. I bet they made him take all the meeting notes and schedule the conference rooms.

I heard Windu didn't even acknowledge administrative assistants day, and that started Anakin's turn.
