One other seemingly minor thing that bugged the crap out of me. The storm troopers on the new planet all had dirty beat up armor. We never saw that in the original trilogy. They always had pristine gleaming armor. In fact, Vader’s personal guard stands out when they show up because they are so pristine. The dirty worn armor was used in Mando to show how far the Empire has fallen. To have it in this series just feels wrong.And now there’s suddenly female storm troopers?? It’s jarring when you make those kinds of changes just for political correctness sake. And can they please, please teach the storm troopers to march in step and in a line…. The OG movies understood that their precision and uniformity are what made them menacing.
Y'all need to stop idolizing the movies

Stormtrooper hitting his head with precision and uniformity in the OG movies
Even the prequels are full of contradictions with the original trilogy, George Lucas himself made tons of errors and mistakes- I love how past mistakes and issues justify current ones. Sad we have to just accept poor writing, plot holes and other issues. Guess that is where we are with SW shows. People seem to just eat it up and let it slide. Guess that is why Disney doesn't even have to try these days.

My point is the movies are also full of things you are complaining about, and its kinda hypocritical to claim the movies are at a higher standard
Nobody said poor writing and plot holes are okay, but some of the plot holes being pointed out in this thread is just people trying extremely hard to create a plot hole out of nothing
Like the level of shininess of Stormtrooper armor and how they are walking in an episode
That isn't poor writing or plot holes, its just trying to find things to complain about when you can't find anything worthwhile"LordDirt;c-2364025" wrote:

Not a bad episode but the Vader watching Obi-wan get away was dumb. The guy is right there!
Looked to me that he was letting obi-wan get away
So bring him to me quickly turned in to let him escape? Weird
Where is he gonna go?
Hes on a planet controlled by the empire, injured and vader sees hes no threat.
Keep in mind 3rd Sister just killed the pilot they were set to join up with."LordDirt;c-2364108" wrote:
There was no need to make Obi-Wan weak and forget how to do anything in ten years. He is 48 years old not 68. He was a Jedi for 26 years and was one of the best ever.
Hes a broken man
Hes been hiding cut off from the force for 10 years.
Hes scared and in shock that anakin is alive and B... that hes ruthlessly killing villagers for no reason other than to toy with his emotions.
This is obi wan at his lowest point and being completely blind sided.
Keep in mind he wasnt having an easy time with the spice guys in that hallway either"Ltswb1;c-2364117" wrote:

They look dirty here to me... in 1977."ShaggyB;c-2364135" wrote:

But I thought "everyone" hated Luke when he did the same. Why the change of heart? Why would Obi-Wan change that much in ten years? Why would he of all people turn against the Force? Talk about not fitting a character. The guy watches his Master die in front of him, watches his girl Satine die, watches Padme die, watched Cody and his Clone troopers turn on him, but has a huge issue when his Padawan turns on him? He has a mission to watch over Luke and he wouldn't let his skills diminish and possibly get Luke killed. Plus he wanted to train Luke so why would he still not be training himself?"LordDirt;c-2364147" wrote:

You did see the conflict he had right? Hes haunted by what happened. Hes scared. Hes clouded, aka cant talk to his late master.
He wants to train Luke, but hes in no condition to do it. Thats clear in his actions and his routine in episode 1 and his lack of skill in episode 2.
What were you expecting. I was surprised he light his saber honestly."ShaggyB;c-2364149" wrote:

I was expecting someone like in the Kenobi book. A guy who still believes in himself and the cause and who is willing to still help others."LordDirt;c-2364150" wrote:

I think your problem is that you already have expectations on how it should've been and are refusing to accept the direction the show is taking because it conflicts with your headcannon
