10 Star Wars Scenes Everyone Wishes They Could Unsee

10. Background Stormtroopers Detract From The Action - Obi-Wan Kenobi

Make no mistake, Deborah Chow and Disney brought more than their fair share of excellence to the Star Wars streaming service party with this year's Obi-Wan Kenobi.

But even with some outstanding performances and a rather gripping tale being told, there was still no escaping the fact fans were taking in an epic story that unfortunately had to be brought to life on a TV budget. Never was this more evident than during Part IV's detour to the Fortress Inquisitorius when Kenobi and Tala Durith attempt to sneak off the Nur base with a young Leia Organa.

On top of the majority of the Imperial forces either looking like they were jarringly added in during post-production or brought to life via rushed and cheap-looking digital effects, a quick glance at the Stormtroopers occupying the background during this sequence depicts the platoon seemingly walking straight at a window for some reason.

Clearly the idea here was to simply make the setting feel as busy as possible, but the lack of thought and attention put into something as simple as the logic behind the direction a background brigade are heading in ultimately ends up detracting from what should be an otherwise daring escape sequence.
