there is a problem with every single scene of this episode, and not shitty minor details either. they all build off one another to create the absolute worst star wars I have ever seen
Somehow Leia being able to overpower an inquisitor is completely predictable and unsurprising at this point. The whole sequence with her and Reva in interrogation felt like a fan film at best. Moses tried her best to have a good meaningful bit of acting with a 10 year old but the whole vibe of it was just stupid. I found it hilarious that they're so bad at writing that they couldn't think of any possible way for kenobi to find leia, so they just randomly make her hear her yell so he can rush straight to where she's at.
it's also got that running problem with disney lately where almost every scene is incredible visually, and then there's one or two odd ones out that look like it was on a budget of a hundred bucks
the low budget vibe came back in full force. any scene in the hangars was comparable to a lego star wars game. it goes to show how important distance and camera angles are when filming big things, otherwise they just look like a bunch of little hot wheels ships. in that same regard, they chose to go with doing a series of massive rooms that are completely empty. the hangar is gigantic with a couple of ships, the room after the hangar is fucking insane in size. it's like a mile long completely empty room
The fact nobody was suspicious at the person helping Obi-Wan, DESPITE being like 2 feet from her and easily able to hear what she's saying is just dumb. Ditto for when nobody notices Kenobi, a disheveled man wearing a hat and coat with four legs coming out of the coat. Felt more comical than anything. Keep in mind, this is supposed to be a base full of elite soldiers who's job it is to be smart and attentive.
Is the inquisitor headquarters really so unorganized and slapped together that an officer assigned to an entirely different planet can come around drilling out orders? even with her threatening to tattle on an inquisitor they should have at least gone to grab someone that matched her rank before she got let in to one of the most important, should be locked down locations that exist. Why is she allowed to bring in a communicator device without it being checked first, if Reva can apparently spot a spy just by how they look? Why is the scanner to check people in the middle of the room, and why did they have their extras literally just walking around it in the scene? Why are all the extras in the scene just walking back and forth to different ends of a big empty room?
Nobody could hear her for the same reason that they would put big, openable doors underwater that apparently have zero security checks with the only apparent purpose to let spies sneak in the base. The same reason that the woman (forgot her name) could bring in a communicator without the frequency of it at least being checked first. The same reason that the scanner to check people is in the middle of the room, and the extras in the scene were shown literally just walking around it (they all even go around it when they're leaving after being caught, just whoop right around it). You can also see the same extras just walking back and forth to different ends of this big, empty room with nothing but a singular, just one, scanning device is in. There's a moment where she's talking to obi wan in plain view on the radio, and the officer next to her makes eye contact while she's talking all suspiciously. then he just does nothing and goes right back to work.
So, based on what we're shown we're lead to believe that Fortress Inqisitorious has:
- One security gate that you're allowed to just walk around, because it's in the middle of a giant, empty room.
- Regular, incompetent stormtroopers with a handful of dark troopers.
- No restrictions on officers flying in from other sectors and worlds, then immediately dishing out orders.
- Giant fuck off underwater doors for no reason.
- One droid patrolling the hallways, along with a duo or two of regular stormtroopers.
- No facial hair or grooming standards, so any homeless guy can grab a quick trenchcoat and roam around.
I'm also confused on why they even had kenobi find the jedi tomb? it didn't serve any purpose to the show what so ever, so I'm just left to assume it was filled with a bunch of glup shittos for mega nerds to go WOW at. fan service is all good when its done well
honestly, the best way to see how goofy the episode was is to just look at some still shots
