That Indira Varma is an attractive lady. About the only thing Disney Star Wars has got right has been the attractive mature women, like Boba Fett’s girlfriend.
We focus too much on race and not enough on age. D+ has been promoting older women and no one complains because it works ☝🏻

Episode 4 was the shortest episode by far and has the least plot development. Here are my thoughts:

The newest episode (episode 4) was the first of the series that I didn't really like. There were some good ideas, but poor execution. The conversation between Leia and Reva wasn't so great, which I put mostly down to some awkward delivery by the young actress who plays Leia.
The scene with O'Shea Jackson, Jr. and the other rebels wasn't so good. Some hammy acting by a few people in that scene.
The Inquisitorius (I think that's what it's called?) was awfully easy to break into. Even if Reva had an idea they'd try to rescue Leia and wanted to let it happen, that doesn't explain why everyone else who wasn't in on this plan was so incompetent.
The hallway fight scene wasn't filmed very well.
The CGI T-47s looked terrible.
Were we supposed to care that the one rebel dude who we saw in one brief scene died? They made it out to be a big moment, and I literally didn't give a crap. I still liked the first three episodes, and am looking forward to the next two. But man, this episode was just off the mark.

Archelaus In my opinion, this is a symptom of trying to cram an entire season into just six episodes. This should've been a storyline played out over more time, but since they only have six episodes (and those episodes are on the short side), they have to rush through it.

I do contend that Moses Ingram's performance is lacking. When she raises her voice to intimidate, it's not effective. She was 100% horrible in this episode.

I didn't like episode 4. Why is Reva interrogating Leia thinking she knows anything? She's not in the underground. Did Reva forget that it was her plan to kidnap Leia to draw Obi-Wan out? All Reva did was find Leia again after Obi-Wan rescued her and she found her pretty fast.
They need to pick how bad Obi-Wan is with his powers and stick with it. Already it seems like he can barely use them and then suddenly he's at almost full power again.

But too many stupid things happened, including Leia knowing that Ben is Obi-Wan....

This recent episode is hands down the worst one yet. Jesus Christ what were they thinking?

Did anyone here watch The Queen's Gambit? Was Moses Ingram this terrible in that show?

You have no idea how badly I wanted Vader to kill Reva.

Four episodes in now and this show sadly seems to have nothing.
The only really interesting thing was back in Episode 1 with his relationship with Owen Lars. That could have been something. Taking him off planet simply for a Princess Leia chase across multiple episodes is just a waste of Ewan McGregor's and our time.
The last episode had us supposed to be feeling sad for a guy who wasn't even really introduced!

Everything I hear about this show sounds insanely bad. Why do you guys do this to yourselves? Watching the Baby Leia Show? Come on now. We all deserve better.

I think I have to see it to believe it.

I think I have to see it to believe it. If you have access to Disney+, checkout the first episode and go from there. I'm usually too stubborn to stop watching things unless it's really god awful. I mean hell I still watch The Walking Dead despite the fact that show should have been over 5 seasons ago!

Tattoine seems more human than I remember. All of the extras in the street scenes appear to be humans straight out of Central Casting. Can’t they put a helmet or mask on some of them? Sure, they’ll cut to some Jawas or something but they don’t seem to be in the background.

Is it wise to build the walls of an underwater fortress out of glass that could be damaged by a blaster?
