Chuk, you might just want to let this franchise go at this point. This is a link that is doing nothing but trying to find things to complain about. If you want to find shit to complain about, you're going to find shit to complain about.

I have one solid complaint about this show that would have made it A tier if they’d just had the balls to do it:This series could have been so much better with competent writing and actual tie ins to the shit Filoni laid down. Instead, it really looks like KK's last attempt to shit all over Filoni as hard as she can (especially the mausoleum of dead potential plot threads). It would not have taken much to salvage this. The talent (except the Reva actress) was there to pull off a lot of what they were going for. I think if Filoni had been allowed to control the writing on this and they had cast literally anyone other than Moses Smugwoke as Reva, it could have been a good series.
The main issues are what the fuck was Reva's stupid plan anyhow? Killing Luke makes zero fucking sense to hurt Vader if he does not know about him. Having her back attack Vader at the shuttle escape in E5 and that be the reason they get away would have been much better. And for fucks sakes show Leia developing skills and character during the show instead of her arc being stubborn cunty kid to stubborn cunty kid with a gun holster. The sabre duel, while cool to watch, fucks up so much continuity its just ludicrous to have it in the story. Palps calling off Vader _did_ make sense if you understand the whole balance thing and that as long as Vader and Palms are balanced off by Yoda and Obi, its actually in his best interest to leave them be. But they literally repeated the biggest fuckup from TLJ with the slow motion fucking ISD chase. And Reva living AND her stupid ending were just fucking insulting on every level. Vader is a guy who murdered civilians and children at the drop of the had, as well as executing his own men when they made minor fuckups. But now, lets let a rogue force user who fucking ATTACKED you live because reasons. They really wanted to make Joggress Sith the star of this show.
And if Filoni was at the helm, I can thing of much better ways they could have tied this all into the movie cannon and Filoni SW mythos. Pick any of a number of EU characters for the Reva role (Ventriss would have been a good choice). Replace generic Black_Rebel_leader_001 with a younger less jaded Saw Guerrera. Replace Dinesh fake Jedi with any of a number of rogue type characters (how about Hono and even let Dinesh play him if you want). Maybe show the start of the Syndicate takeover of Tatooine as a reason why the Inquisitors can't just completely tear the place apart looking for Jedi there. There were a LOT of missed opportunities to blend this in instead of trying to shoehorn a bunch of KK subersive bullshit.
they made Vader a flippin softy, he sounded like he was going to drown himself in his helmet with tears when he started whining about his situation. you didnt kill me, i killed me! i am no longer Anakin you failed, i beat you! booohooohooohoo! grow the fuck up bitch, its been ten years, you got clowned and you killed kids, you're the asshole in the room. you had many opportunities to kill OB1 in this show, but you choked.I have one solid complaint about this show that would have made it A tier if they’d just had the balls to do it:
When Vader had the two lightsabers and she was on her knees, I was praying that he was gonna slice her head off like he did to Dooku. And they fucking walked away from easy money.
Spineless cowards.
first few eps were a mixed bag, some very good some meh. Last episode was fucking awesome. I could go into details but I'll just settle on Ewan and Hayden absolutely killing it and a good resolution for Reva. HIgh point of this entire series however will be the relationship between Ben and Leia. Fucking loved it.
Reva -Va(der) + Y(wing) = Rey
They had to lighten up this screenshot to make a meme.

So it wasn't just me watching pitch black between them in Tatooine? I thought that my PS4 had fucked up brightness settings.They had to lighten up this screenshot to make a meme.
