Porthos Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 1 minute ago, Knights of Ren said: The new planet/city looks awesome From EW: Quote McGregor is all cloaked up again as Obi-Wan Kenobi, and he's got places to go... like the new planet of Daiyu, which "sort of has a Hong Kong feel to it," says writer Joby Harold. "It's got a graffiti-ridden nightlife, and is kind of edgy. It's just got a different lane and a different feeling." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menor the Destroyer Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I guess my only gripe (which I have seen in a few SW discussion spaces) is the look of the Grand Inquisitor, does not look anything like the established live-action look of his species from ROTS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was always gonna be on the more exploring philosophical side, but that they're shooting right out of the gate with it Somewhat related to this line of thought, but I wonder if a dejected Obi-Wan is talking to a certain someone when he says, “The fight is over. We lost.” 👀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never change, YouTube, never change. (for folks just joining us, YT is notorious for not updating its view counter correctly when vids first drop) Six minutes later as I type this up, 947k and 460k respectively, so the view counter is starting to catch up. Still hilarious how YT is so bad at this so many years later. FWIW, the like counter is: IGN: 86k SW YT: 197k That would suggest about 2.1m views on the SW YT account if the ratio of likes to views are similar. I could see the SW channel having a higher like to view ratio, so not an exact science, but perhaps a decent road map?

ZeeSoh Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 That was a great trailer!! Haven’t been this excited for any SW show till now. The choice of music was excellent, it really elevated the trailer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porthos Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) Think something's still screwy over at YT with their counts, but at approx 3 hours: YouTube: SW Main: 1747k | 249k likes IGN: 1431k | 129k likes Twitter: 4.9m views Don't know how to get the Facebook numbers as I rarely use it and I don't have an account anyway. EDIT::: Looks like 1.3m views on Instagram if I'm reading the box right. Edited March 9, 2022 by Porthos 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Lehnsherr Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 So much to process as a fan. What I'll also say is while I'm glad it's a TV show with more time and understand why after Solo Lucasfilm decided to scrap the anthology films this one as a film would have done very good BO numbers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liiviig 1998 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Fuck this looks great. This has been my most anticipated D+ show for a while now. Think this is going to the biggest show on D+ on release. Theatrical movie for this would have had good box office prospects IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potiki Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Deborah Chow is going to absolutely nail this! It makes me glad everything worked out the way it did and this ended being a limited series rather than a movie, also think the longer run time will allow for some real cool character moments especially between Vader/Ani and Kenobi.

My benchmark along hasn’t been Mando S2, but Loki. Anyone have any Loki benchmarks we can look at? And I suppose, Moon Knight both for recency and because I recall it over-performing expectations on likes/views.

Merkel Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I can't believe people are praising the music. They took John Williams' unforgettable music and just made it sound louder, "with epic choir and power chords". It's trite and tasteless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
