This is gonna be rambley but is it just me or are sw action scenes just laughably bad now? I haven’t seen the latest owk ep so I can’t comment but the chase scenes are just… meh. The fight with Vader… meh. The LEADUP to the Vader fight was fantastic and tense but the actual choreography was. Whack. (Which makes sense from obi wans pov he should be bad at it, but Vader should be chopping limbs off)

And it’s not just that but mando season 2 and bobf and the sequel trilogy. Like in my opinion the action scenes in the prequels were really good! Even the action scenes in the og trilogy, while obviously not as polished as what we can do now, hold a lot of emotional weight and entertainment value. But so much of the action in these new series that should be blowing us out of the water with the technology that they have is just. Meh.

#I’ve never liked the sequel fights bc it just felt like they were wielding lightsabers like baseball bats #which for some characters works. not all of them tho #but idk it’s just so weirdly disappointing!! like why even bother with a live action ahsoka when she has perfect movement in animation #it’s all so weirdly flat and empty and the fights have no weight even when they should. it’s just boring and weirdly shot #which isn’t the actors fault. like the acting is good. but the camera choices and all that are just odd #I thought it might have something to do with Covid distancing restrictions but like they’re shooting everything else next to each other #without masks so idk #I hope I’m not the only one noticing just how jarring it is. the action just doesn’t feel right #which these people have laser swords. the action should be good #VADER SNAPPING A KIDS NECK WITH THE FORCE WAS EXTREMELY GOOD. DO MORE OF THAT #ramblings #I’ll watch the new ep sometime this week so maybe things get better idk #is action the most important thing? no. but it’s a continuation of the themes and conflicts and emotions surrounding it #it should pack that punch
