People are just immature, touchy little turds full of hubris and vitriol. I would have told the troll it doesn't matter the skin color or gender or anything, bad acting and dialogue is bad acting and dialogue, and you are entitled to your opinion no matter what they think, and to go back and think about what they said and come back when they have something pertinent to say.
On that note, Obi Wan is okay. I can see why he would lose touch with the force, after losing all that he did and then having to hide it for ten years. I would be afraid of using it too. Then learning that Vader is alive and searching for him? I would be afraid too. Leia is cute and I like her, regardless if she is a little wooden. Reva is absolutely terrible and they should have kept the Grand Inquisitor and Vader as the main bad guys. Her parkour scenes were laughable. Her dialogue is horrible. Her attempts to be evil just come across as sad and sycophantic ala Director Krennic. There are several plotholes that mess with canon and I hope that they are explained. |

I commented on a Star Wars forum that I didn't find the Riva character in Obi Wan to be a very good character. Some troll immediate jumped on me and played the racist card.
Are we really not allowed to even express a thought about a character? It's off limits simply because of that character's skin tone? I guess I don't understand the rules of the internet nowadays. For the record - I think Obi Wan is missing the mark on a lot of points. It's only a 5 out of 10 stars show to this point. Not sure what it is... but it kind of feels 'fan fiction'-ish.

Yeah - you're probably right on the money. Isn't that sad though? Certain things we can't even TALK ABOUT nowadays?! Not just on here - but in general. Everything turns into a dumpster fire... and we never can even have a constructive discussion.
It's probably 'political' discussion anyway... so the powers that be will trash this thread. (nothing political about it though - by definition) In short, we're a bunch of monkeys that are just a little bit too intelligent for our own good, and I don't think we as a species can handle the responsibility of the internet. The really scary part is that this is actually just the beginning; the internet is still a fairly new thing. I don't mean to sound all Alex Jones or anything, but I think we're headed for a rude awakening, and I'd put money in that being sooner rather than later. I haven't seen Obi Wan myself. I've been burned out on SW pretty much since TPM was still in theaters. I've frequently been told I should check out The Mandalorian (I may if I can find time), and I did enjoy Rogue One quite a bit, but I think that Disney is really devaluing their new toy, and doing so at an alarming rate.

I seem to recall some of those undertones being cast at people who were upset they made Ripcord black in ROC. It's stupid. While I didn't like the change either, Wayans was one of the few bright spots in that turd movie. Largely because he grew up a GI Joe fan.
As for the Reva character in Obi-Wan, I don't think she's been that bad. Perhaps there is a bit overacting, But what seems like overacting may be explained by her motives. There is a theory she is trying to get closer to Vader to take him out. She was a padawan in the Jedi temple during the purge and was witness to what he did. She is the one who broke it to Obi-Wan that Vader is Anakin.

It's my understanding that the actual racists online have become vocal and have begun verbally bullying the actress. I'm sure we can all agree that is not cool.
As soon as I found out about that, my thought was, well shit, does that mean we can't call out her shitty acting? Her character is very corny. However, I think it works ok in the context of the show. I mean, sometimes in real life there are villain type folks who are way over the top, to the point where they're almost a parody of themselves. To me, she's not much worse than Kylo Ren, who I though was a joke as well. As for the show, I'm loving it. I understand the points about the Star Wars product becoming diluted, and the Star Wars market becoming over-saturated. Possibly, but I'm still loving it and say bring it on. It's a big universe, and there's a Universe's worth of stories to tell. I think little Leia is fun, and Ewan McGregor is outstanding. It's fun seeing the younger even more badass Vader in action. .... Now let me go buy up some more of that Disney stock.
