[Official] Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney+. S1: 05/27/22

[SNYC]

Wait this series is just 6 eps?

Damn, we're already ⅓ finished

 

[Mister Terrific]

Perhaps it relates to the animated stuff but why are the inquisitors so OD against Reva finding Obi Wan? Like it’s taking away from her menace that they are so against her smacking up random Tattooine peasants.

Revas origins are way too obvious, I hope they plan on throwing the viewers another curveball

The first 2 episodes were good tho, I kinda wish they would stop relying on child sidekicks but it's Disney so I get it.

The last scene on Ep2 was perfect , the look on Obi-Wan's face when he found out was


Also that hoping around Reva did on those building was hilarious and she still didn't catch him

I’m amazed by Disneys refusal to even slightly separate any story they create from the original trilogy. Could have taken this Obi story anywhere in the galaxy and they decided to immediately go to a Leia kidnapping story. Couldn’t even give you one unrelated standalone episode.

about to watch again

seems like Jon Favreau and not really attached to this series like The Mandalorian,,
I'm sure they have enough things to do now

I'm sorry but this is shyt
I know I call a lot of things shyt

But pacing is bad
It feels like a shytty Disney+ regular series instead of a mini series

You know who gets kidnapped, and Obi Wan rescues her within the first two episodes

The antagonist shakes her hand and is all I'll hurt you Obi Wan

Its all very cheesy

Young Leia is dope. You can definitely see her growing up to be the one in Ep IV. And looking back, OT Leia really does act like Anakin.

Lucas’ rule of 2 is dumb

It comes from the originals.

The Emperor wanted Luke to take out Vader, Vader wanted Luke to help him take out the Emperor.

"Always two..."

It makes perfect sense, considering the greed of the Sith.

On the series: loving it so far. The action is still a bit clunky (exception being the Order 66 scene) but adding Leia was a genius move. That would be the reason Obi-Wan would leave his watch over Luke. It even ties more into her naming her son Ben in the movies that shall not be named.

Reva is cool, she has potential so I'm hoping for the best. Ewan was always piff and continues to be so, loving the bridge to the slow/calmer Obi-Wan of Alec Guinness.

Lucas’ rule of 2 is dumb

And there can technically be more than 2, because you're always looking for a replacement. It may only be for a brief moment, but a master to train an apprentice, so that the Sith live on...but the master is always searching for the strongest apprentice to take their place.

 

[Paper Boi]

i mean even without this series he's supposed to go from the end of the revenge of the sith to looking like that in like 20 yrs...

so it is what it is lol.

at least they establishing he never really sleeps... that will age you real quick.

 

[nieman]

Wasn't as terrible as I expected but the KK Disney shyt writing is just as bafflingly stupid as it was with Boba's show...

Third sister forgetting she has mind reading abilities and not using it on Owen...Really bruh? REALLY?

We just supposed to forget Leias message to Obi in ANH where she opens by saying "years ago you served my father in the clone wars" implying she never met him in person...

Don't even get me started with the Disney kiddy chase scenes that make no sense...One ok but two? was that really necessary?

Spoiler

Grand Inquisitor is in Rebels which is supposed to be canon so I'm assuming he's not dead, but if he is dead...

In that same movie, she also knew him as Ben, implying she had some interaction with him. "Ben Kenobi, where is he?" It works both ways.

I'm enjoying it so far. Young Leia is probably the standout character.

Hopefully Reva's backstory isn't something petty like "Obi-Wan was mean to me when I was a Padawan".
