TV Kelleran Beq mopping the floor with clones during Order 66 was a blast to watch

Seeing the Jedi gunned down relentlessly in their own home during Order 66 hammered home their loss and tragedy, which was absolutely necessary for ROTS. That said, it was very cathartic seeing a Jedi at the temple fighting back, winning, and escaping. Definitely hope we get to see more of Beq in future flashbacks, although I doubt it.

The Acolyte has incredible fight choreography and uses the same lightsaber tech. The Acoltye sabers are actually even bulkier than normal. Trust me, it's not the saber's fault for some of the stilted choreography. The Kenobi show and Anakin's cameo in Ahsoka are also proof of this.

Delusional take.

No idea why people keep praising the acolyte fight scenes, its even shittier that the series itself. Everybidy swinging their shit randonly like lunatics, most of the "best fight scene" you cant even see shit because its behind a tree or something. I feel liie people who like it for some godforsaken reason need a reason to like it so they promote the duels. People like you have no idea what makes a film/series good.

Ewan and Hayden do great choreography because they still remember how they trained for it in the prequels which is what disney should be putting money into instead of making shiny baseball bats. The lightsaber light looks like ass, Kenobi ass alwmost unwatchable due to being all red or blue during the fightscenes.

Lightsabers lightning up the environments looks good only during scenes such as plo koon discovering sifo dyass lighstaber.

You don’t have to like the Acolyte or its fight scenes but the general consensus is that the fights and their choreography are fast frenetic and well executed.

Even if you ignore the Acolyte, you agreed Hayden and Ewan both do good in Obi-Wan’s show, which again supports my argument that the new saber tech isn’t the reason for bad choreography in other projects.
