i'm not huge into music but was that fucking Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers? The bounty hunter chase stuff was bad both episodes but oh well. Casting Flea was dumb.
also Rose Esther McGregor, Ewan's daughter played the girl with the pink hair
and lastly surprise cameo I didn't pick it up but apparently 8m55s into episode 2

Its missing a lot of the acting credits atm. I was looking for someone else on there a minute ago. Flea looks more like a guy Han should run into in a cantina some where not someone working for the Sith.

She got away the same way you do when you're small in a game, she went under and through, instead of around the stalls. Big people always bumping into shit. I dont know how she got away in the alleys, but he is old and washed, lungs full of sand, since it gets every where.
Young Leia is great though, she definitely has the right energy to represent both Padme and Carrie Fisher.

I thought casting Flea was fine. He plays the, "criminal degenerate" character pretty well. The issue is just that both "chase" scenes were dumb and looked extremely "low-budget". So far, those 2 scenes are my only real complaints. Again, the chases themselves are whatever, since Star Wars has had its share of "stupid and silly" - it's just how it looked like a fan-made project that made it ridiculous.
I actually like the Nogquisitor so far. She's doing the whole, "lust for power" and trying to catch Vader's eye thing pretty well. I fucking LOVED when she stabbed the Grand Inquisitor, because it's such a great portrayal of the Sith. I'm just waiting for the part where she's really the youngling from the opening scene and Obi-Wan "redeems" her.

Just finished both episodes and found them very enjoyable. If this is just a Obi and Leia buddy cop show for 6 episodes, Im all for that. A lot more interesting than Obi being a peeping Tom and watching Luke from afar. Good cliffhanger at the end of episode 2, bastards making us wait until next week. But knowing how these shows have gone, they wont even touch on that until episode 3 or 4.

It was a little clunky at parts but I really enjoyed the first two episodes. It was very pleasantly notbadobama just like the start of The Mandalorian.
But how does Obi-Wan have no clue that Vader survived? Yeah, I know, hermit life and all, but he's clearly doing more than creepy peeping on Luke and bringing him a member berries toy every couple years. Did the Emperor lock Vader in an S&M dungeon for a decade?

He didn't know Palp was Sidious. He didn't know Maul existed.
When the big black Vader shows up how's he meant to know it's the guy he left for dead, set on fire with no limbs left?
Lol?

Didn't he know Anakin had turned to Vader well before the black suit? To be fair my memory of Episode 3 is shit so I'm open to being completely wrong.
But yes, point taken. He's also shit at giving advice. Oh, you're being hunted by professional Jedi killers nearby? Best go back into town so they can locate you immediately.

Read my post again. His last sighting of Anakin is BBQ Anakin

Yes, I get that. But Anakin had been Darth Vader well before the lava BBQ. So a big bad jedi master in a life support suit with the same name shows up working at the Emperor's behest for 10 years and Obi Wan can't make the connection? Or was the Vader name just kept between Palps and Anakin until then? I didn't think so but it's been years since I've watched that mess of a movie.

He knows Anakin lead the Jedi temple slaughter because he watched the security footage. Iirc he sees a hologram of Anakin kneeling but I don't think there's any audio
I don't remember if Yoda refers to him as Vader when he sends obi wan to kill him.
Regardless obi wan left him for dead, hence the surprise

I think its reasonable to assume Ben doesn't know Vader = Anakin, as far as he knows Anakin actually died on Mustafar. Did Ben see a holovideo in the prequels of Palps calling Anakin Darth Vader? He saw him slaughter the younglings but dunno if he ever saw his new name.
The odder thing is Leia now has canon encountered Ben when she was 10 years old, so her plea in ANH to Obi-Wan, "You helped my father in the clone wars, we need your help again you're our only hope" really should be "Hey you saved my ass 8 years ago we need your help again". Minor nitpick with the only real answer being that this was written 50 years later, so I can let it slide.
It also doesn't really make much sense that now one Inquisitor knows that Leia is Obi-Wans "weak spot", why Vader/Emperor wouldn't eventually figure something out, use her more, etc. Hopefully that is not forgotten or overlooked since thats a new in show story beat they have to address.

She is awful. Nothing but a bad meme. Studios need to go back to hiring attractive people. She almost ruins the show.

The Senate isn't dissolved until just before ANH, so there is a reasonable chance that the emperor says "Lets not kidnap senator Bail Organa's daughter any more" and then "Let's not kidnap a senator, I'm trying to subjugate a galaxy here" until he learns Leia is herself in the rebellion, which is when he dissolves the senate, which does actually draw Obi-wan out again.
Although, I also feel like the end of this will end with the Emperor and Vader thinking Obi-wan is dead, to reconcile the surprise Vader feels when he arrives on the Death Star in ANH.
