6/10
Lightsabers mean NOTHING...
23 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
It's quite obvious that Sabine won't die and that she is fundamental to the rest of the series, so why stab her with a lightsaber? Why do you have to continue deprecating lightsabers!?

I hate the fact that for decades lightsabers were these amazing, elegant, deadly signature weapons, by which you would die if stabbed or at least lose an important part of your body, now, since Disney took over, they stand for nothing more than liminous pocket knifes.

Got stabbed? No worries! You get to live forever and we'll fix you in the blink of an eye! No permanent damage, no consequences, you won't even be in pain during recovery! Qui-Gon can only imagine...

It's ridiculous, such poor writing, you could have saved her in so many ways, but no, you had to go for the cheapest, easiest way of ending the episode, just for her to be alive and painless in less than 15 seconds after the auto play feature kicks in.

You wrote a series where at least five of your main characters carry lightsabers, it's their primary weapon and the one thing that should strike fear in their opponents, so, now what? Nobody ever dies? I don't see Disney beheading anyone on this show, so, how will you justify some from dying and others from living?

Lastly, I get it, lightsaber battles are tough, Ewan and Hayden trained for months, even years just to get a couple of scenes right, but you know, that was their job, it came with the part.

The fight between Sabine and Shin looked slow, you could tell how they struggled to remember their next moves, specially, when Sabine looses, there you can clearly see how she's patiently waiting to get stabbed while her arms are up. Can't you at least pay some attention to detail and speed up this in post production?

Hayden and Ewan are loved because of their devotion to their role, because of the endless hours of rehearsals and training that they had to put in to actually look like Jedis, whay can't you demand the same thing from these actors? Thousands would kill for the part, can't you find someone that can actually "fight" realistically? Or provide them with the proper training and make sure they live up to their predecessors?

Anyways, sure, I'll probably keep watching, hoping for the best, however, my hopes ain't too high...
