#StarWars #CloneWars #DisneyPlus - บันเทิง
Hayden Christensen was never a bad actor. George Lucas's direction was practically non-existent, the actors have insinuated as much, and on top of that the dialogue he was given was wooden asf. He deserves the respect he's getting now.
Amen brother. I’ve been saying this for thirty years. Lucas has been grossly overrated. He was always a visionary, but he was also a shitty film maker.
@@vstar7196 People already knew that though. He is a fantastic world-builder, one of the best to have done it. But director and writer? No way.
many actors were given terrible lines and still pulled them off when Hayden didn't. so yes, he was a bad actor to me during the 2nd prequel, did better during the 3rd. it's not a fact. it's an opinion. you're not wrong for liking his acting and neither am i for not, but you are wrong for saying 'never a bad actor' as if it's a fact. subjective is not objective.
Hayden has said he was told by George to try to mimic James E Jones' speech pattern. Long drawn out sentances, monotone ect. So i blame George only for the actual dialogue rathen than Haydens direction on it.
Absolutely. It was the awful writing and non existent direction. Even Natalie Portman seemed bad, and she went to become an Oscar winning actress. They were all good actors, they were just given bad dialogues and no direction.
Great start to this series. Leia definitely inherited her mothers stubbornness and her fathers sass and Ewan as always is great. BTW the actor who plays the Fifth Brother, the inquisitor with the hat, is Sung Kang. He plays Han in the Fast & Furious franchise
Leia is her father's daughters and Luke is his mother's son. He got Anakin's kindness and Padme's stubbornness, Leia got Anakin's sass, and attitude and Padme's grace.
ANAKIN WOULD'VE LOVED THEM BOTH AND I'M SAD HE DIDN'T GET TO BE A DAD DAMMIT.
@Xavier E oh yeah she totally has his sass 😂 I got total clone wars Anakin vibes from her he'd be a proud smirkin little gremlin 😂 😭
Great start? Did we watch the same show
I thought you said she inherited her father's ass. I was like 'bitch, wtf...'
Great start? LOL the chase scene ruined it all HAHAHA
Hayden delivers throughout the prequels when we would get hints of his dark side. His "I HATE YOU" to Obi-Wan is brutal af
He's a little up and down throughout but he did come to play on the "I hate you" line.
One thing that goes forgotten in his acting is that he modeled his delivery whenever Anakin does dark things after James Earl Jones' Vader cadence.
Hayden was a great physical actor
@@Countdooku97 yeah the suffering and darkness he can convey with just his face his awesome. I love that guy
Hayden gets hate because of AOTC, but his acting in ROTS is actually pretty good.
I believe its both: 1) Leia unknowingly used the force to read her cousin and 2) she's been trained to one day become a senator, so it could be her putting those skills to work
I agree. It's a combination of her natural gifts in the Force and the environment she was raised in.
No she didnt LMFAO are you serious? Deborah Chow has no brain. The directing of these two episodes was AWFUL
If it's her skills then why need the force as an explanation? Her skills suffice. No need to start saying everything is the force just because we know who her dad is.
Fallen Order IS canon. Actually, one of the things we're hoping to get in the series is the merging of both stories at some point and seeing the main character of the game in here as well.
Its just been announced that Fallen Order 2 takes place 5 years after the 1st, during the same time this show is set. How epic would it be to see Cal in this story and it end up being a mission in game.
@@deathswitch2404 how long after order 66 is the first game?
@@deathswitch2404 because didn't wes ee the grand inquisitor in that second trailer
@@straightuphating1013 The main campaign of Fallen Order is 5 years after Order 66
@@straightuphating1013 we didnt, it was a senetor on Corosant
Micky is right, Obi Wan can feel the kyber crystal, that's why he knows where the lightsabers were buried. Jedi are atuned to their crystal and can actually hear them
The inquisitors are from Star Wars rebels they are not new characters
Well they're new to the Normies since, as far as I know, they haven't seen Rebels yet. They're still working their way through Clone Wars.
@@moonleafteaofthemonth well they are still not new to everyone else.
Reva is new though, all the others are old though
@@spikejr3113jr No, completely brand new character
A Reva Derci
When Leia said "My Father will Rescue Me, he'll send a whole Army" I immediately think of Anakin and the 501st.
I really like that it shows how much it mentally messed up Obi-Wan when Anakin became Vader. They were so close (Clone Wars is a testament to that)… now this. Really tragic and sad.
Also, I love the little detail that both young Luke and Leia share Anakin’s adventurous spirit, wanting to get out there and explore the Galaxy.
Clone wars perfect Jedi trap
Leia's intuition when telling off her cousin is definitely her tapping into the Force to get a deeper read on his motivation.
it was the first thing i thought. it was very cleverly done
I mean, it's kinda obvious that it's not the force. pretty easy to tell a bully is just projecting their insecurities
@@Zack-bl1cw For a psychologist, sure. But, most ten year old kids don't have that insight. Granted, Leia's analysis might be a mix of her training as a senator and Padme's inheritance, but its more likely that's her Skywalker lineage coming into play.
@@Zack-bl1cw no it’s subtle so I don’t blame u for not catching on but it is the force.
@@jingleballs9935 not really, it's just a massive reach by fans, wouldn't be the first time for Star Wars fans.
20:00 - "thats the lightsabre he gives to Luke.." (about a lightsabre that belongs to a random Jedi)
37:34 - "thats the lightsabre he gives to Luke" (a lightsabre inside a box)
This guy always spitting out facts that contradict each other lol.
The Lightsabre that Obi-wan gives to Luke belonged to Anakin that he dropped on Mustafar. Its the one in the box next to Obi-wan's lightsabre.
Hayden's acting was fine, he acted exactly how a 20 year old monk with emotional issues whose never talked to a girl and has been crushing on his baby sitter for 10 years would act, and that's the character George wanted
Couple that with an 80s telenovela dramance dialogue, then only at the emotional extremes does Christensen's skill get to truly flex
I think in the original his ex wife wrote the dialogues he is not a good screenwriter at all that's why I don't blame the actors.
@@blessanabey8386 I liked his writing fine
@@blessanabey8386 no George wrote Episode IV and someone else wrote V and VI. His ex-wife was the editor.
@@Jeroogalo if you compare both the original and the prequel trilogy dialogues you will see the difference. It's like someone else did the dialogue.
The Grand Inquisitor was a former Jedi Temple Guard. His character was introducted in Star Wars: Rebels along with Fifth Brother as part of the Inquisitorius, the organization hunting the Jedi. Reva is a new character for the Obi-Wan series.
Yup! The grand inquisitor and maul are my two fav characters, along with qui gon etc.
I thought the grand inquisitor was a title that could be passed on not just that specific character
@@zexalplays628 His real name is unknown so he is just called The Grand Inquisitor.
"YOU WERE MY BROTHER ANAKIN!!!...I loved you" gets me everytime 🥺
“Legit question, how long is it gonna take for someone to get their hand to get cut off in this series.”
I laughed so fucking hard...
Alright, right off the bat I will not stand for Hayden slander. You can not watch Revenge of The Sith and tell me Hayden had a bad performance, but that's besides the point. Give him some time to show his stuff in the show before looking at a performance he gave without the privilege of a good script.
Sorry, I get heated whenever Hayden is given shit he doesn't deserve. You can dislike his performance, but calling him a "terrible actor" is just being disrespectful for no reason.
I love how even the Inquisitors are like "tone it down a bit, yeah?"
They wouldn't act like that they are ruthless from every medium, it's just to tone up Reva I think, they can still maintain their ruthlessness and make her different but yeah that's how the Hollywood works.
45 years later.
The Legacy still hits hard.
This was the series I was waiting for.
Good start too.
Kinda frustrating how they spent the first 5 minutes of the video once again making out like Revenge is a terribly done movie when it's arguably the best.
Yeah lmao
Vivien Lyra Blair (Young Leia) may look small, but she will actually be ten years old in a couple of weeks or so. She's just a smaller ten year old. (and in all fairness, adult Leia was naturally small for adult standards too...not to say anything bad of Carrie Fisher's height)
23:49 No one outside of Obi Wan, Yoda, and Bail and his wife know that Luke and Leia are Anakin Skywalker’s kids. Vader assumed the kids died with Padme. It’s explained in episode 2 why they went after Leia.
It's explained in this episode
Vader didn’t even know there was more than one
Yoda: "Sit here in Dagobah, I must"
Obi-Wan: "I'm really doing all of the work here, aren't I?"
Yoda: "Yes! *laughs*"
@@jonmercano1138 true
@@nickstanton6021 I should’ve said, “it’s explained in further detail why they went after Leia”
The recap of the prequels literally gave me chills , the I hate you was brilliant job done by Hayden . Obi wan character was absolutely phenomenal done by Ewan . The PTSD nightmare he was having is so sad and at the same time so minutely interesting detail . Can't wait for you all to react to episode 2 . There's a big surprise for Obi wan and you all as well .
How come obi wan didn't have nightmares of order 66
When Bail’s wife says “I know who she’s like.” She talking about Anakin. Luke has Anakin’s skills but has Padme’s personality and Leia is the opposite. Both are extremely strong in the Force but Luke is ever the only one to ever push himself completely in both Canon and Extended Universe.
You know a show is good when you know how the story ends, but the tension of how it plays out is good story telling.
There's so many answers to the questions asked:
Are the Inquisitors new? Two are already from canon (Rebels/Comics).
Is Jedi Fallen Order Canon?: Yes.
There should be a Star Wars 'What If': There is.
36:16 Not Ludwig, the composer is actually Natalie Holt, who composed the Loki series!
Knocked it out of the park with that Loki score!
John Williams had 2 weeks between projects during which he wrote a 4 minute piece called the Obi-Wan Kenobi Theme, the one major character he never wrote a theme for. His piece is the road map to score the series with templates for variations. I cried listening to it on Spotify - highly recommended.
I'm quite interested to see ones-who-haven't-seen-Rebels give their take on Inquisitors and then to see them watch Rebels afterwards.
Same most reactors sadly skip the animations. Very unfortunate cause they are amazing. But it’s funny seeing characters from the shows and reactors be “who’s that?” Lol always make me chuckle
@@paintwhisperer It's their own fault for not watching the animations
Yup, you'll see the reactions in about... 3 years at the soonest?
Normies "There should be a Star Wars what if..."
*Angry Star Wars Visions noises*
Rana was definitely right about Leia showing with the force. Kenobi was concerned if Luke was showing with the force and then we get dialogue between Organa and Kenobi about how Leia is important too because of her lineage. They’re definitely trying to reinforce that Leia is force sensitive with her intuition and emotional reading.
Because we definitely see that from her when luke goes to rescue her right? Oh wait she's only smart and stuff when shes a kid lmao
"And every episode of Clone Wars you get it."
Yes sir we did and we knew what was gonna happen and BOY DID IT HURT ANYWAYS.
Lol hitting the dab pen at the start
This is great to see but I feel that they are missing so much context from Star Wars Rebels
Not so great a show …
@@life09m Its decent
@@life09m sure most of it Is lackluster but what is good is probably some of the best media Star wars has ever produced, everything with Vader,maul,thrawn and a lesser extent the mandalorians and the Jedi and even Ashoka were fire
How is "from my point of view" a bad line like I swear many SW fans just parrot an opinion they got from a youtuber and pass it as valid film criticism like "show don't tell." In episode 6 was it bad writing when Obi-Wan said "from a certain point of view" which Obi-Wan got from what Anakin said to him?
They don't even think about this, they just repeat what they heard from others.
I will defend Hayden to the end of time, he did a great job with what he was given. If you watch the behind-the-scenes you clearly see Lucas giving directions on how to play the scene, if you have an issue with how Anakin was played in the films talk to George Lucas.
Hayden was the best period 💯💯
Hayden’s acting wasn’t bad. The writing and direction was. Look at anything else he was in even at that time he did good work. He was just given a bad hand. If he had good writing and if George Lucas actually gave direction, Hayden could’ve done great.
George did give good direction. I think the writers were to blame honestly. Anakin was a 20 year old with lots of emotions. He is madly in love and not quite fully matured yet and he lost his mother as well as Qui-Gon. Him being all pouty and throwing tantrums is part of who his character is.
@@RebelGaming4U Factor in the emotional trauma endured at a young age then all the pressure and responsibility thrust upon him.
"Order 66" is Star Wars' equivalent to Marvel's "Thanos Snap"
thank you spidey for addressing the unbelievably slow running
Suraj, they most definitely did NOT film these movies back to back. There are six years between Episodes 1 and 3. 1999-2005
7:06 You will see more about that in Clone Wars. Evil might not have been the perfect way to describe (the bad side of) the jedi order though.
You guys have wonderful discourse and it's SO refreshing. Very respectful of each other and willing to be wrong. I envy your friendship.
I think Rana is right about Leia using force powers
Hey Spidey: they run slow in space and they can't shoot in space!
“Legit question, how long is it gonna take for someone to get their hand to get cut off in this series.”
Not even thirty minutes my man lol
its a shame they've not watched rebels simply to know who the Grand Inquisitor is
their own fault
The Obi Wan theme was composed by John Williams....He contacted Lucasfilm and said "I want to compose 'Benny' a theme" and whooooosh.......The man is a legend.....I sobbed when he played it for the first time at Celebration!!!
So, we got Flea from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers in this first episode and later on (since the casting was announced a while back) we got O'Shea Jackson jr., Ice Cube's son.
One hot minute straight outta Mos Eisley, y'all!
Comment of the day
I recommend watching Star Wars Rebels after you guys finish Clone Wars. They introduced the Inquisitors and are featured a lot for the first two season.
Hayden Christensen played the part of Anakin Skywalker - as written and directed by George Lucas - perfectly
“I’m so shocked, I farted.” I was 💀 😆
Lucasfilm hired an eight year old (9 at time of filming) to play ten year old Leia.
That says a lot about Lucasfilm's plans for the character of Leia in the coming years.
I think we are watching the recasting of Leia for the future.
"I love all the perspectives we're seeing Order 66 from."
Me: turns into Jerome "You ain't seen nothing yet!"
Just watched the first episode. Really liked it so far. 👍🏼 Good to see Prequel characters back.
@The Normies,
36:54 Exactly! You watched all of Star Wars: Clone Wars, right? The episode with the younglings was a really great arc. That all went on their own separate adventure to find their own unique Kyber crystals--Kyber crystals call out to specific Force users. Jedi do not choose their Kyber crystal/light saber color, the crystal chooses them.
37:48 I think she (Reva) was one of the Jedi younglings we saw training with the Jedi Master at the start of the episode. When asked what she expects to get out of finding Obi-Wan, she said what she's owed. I think she blames Obi-Wan for her master's death, her friends and her new life. Obi-Wan was supposed to be one of the best, and his student and friend, his the source of her pain. Finding/killing Obi-Wan will give her at the very least closure.
37:58 The Inquisitors are former Jedi, the ones that chose to serve the Dark Side instead of accepting death.
I love that you guys talked about Jedi Fallen Order. They just released the trailer for the sequel today. It's gonna be wizard!
I put the video on and got distracted so I turned back at hearing Chris start the intro and am just confronted by him in his dope ass cosplay. That was fun for me.
So mad I watched the first two episodes today. I wanna binge this show so bad
That water bottle at the very edge of the table is driving me insane. 😅
The way I almost cried like five times this episode alone. :')
I was surprised to see Bail Organa call Obi-Wan from halfway across the galaxy, and then show up in Kenobi’s hidden cave.
“I think these are all new characters” the grand inquisitor and the brother (I think it’s the fifth brother but might be wrong) are in rebels but the third sister is new. The other sister who I don’t think has been named yet is new as well I think. Also they don’t know that it’s vaders child. Since Vader thinks his wife died before childbirth he thinks his children are dead, they kidnapped her because she was bails daughter and bail and obi wan are friends
Congrats on 600K! Catching up on y'al OB1 joints
I've always found it bullshit/hilarious how Leia got to be in a rich & royal family while Luke was sent to a desert to live on a farm lol.
Bail: "My wife and I always wanted a daughter." Meanwhile Luke: "....." And the fact it was completely unnecessary to separate them. Been years since I watched prequels but I don't think anyone outside of Padme and maybe her robot obgyn knew she was expecting twins. Hell, now that I think about it I don't even think Padme knew.
@@atkim122 It's just odd, I think it's due to retroactively having to explain the sibling reveal & make it make sense when incorporated into the story. But I guess both hiding places make sense, Leia is protected within her family while Luke is in the last place Vader/the Empire would ever think to check (I guess? I've heard that justification somewhere & can see its validness).
Chris in his Jedi robes caught me so by surprise, I love this man!
Obi-Wan was a broken man when we first met him in Episode 4.
Don’t forget he told Luke that he used to be a Jedi Knight like his father. Note the past tense.
In Episode 6, Obi-Wan is still a broken man as he tells Luke that Vader is “more machine than man.”
Awww I love how Rana loves the eopie. 🥰
"You can feel the throbe"
I LOST MY SHIT
I love Damarin’s evil grin in the thumbnail
Considering what yall said about Stranger Things... I have watched the Obi-Wan ep1 and 2 by myself. I have rewatched EP1 with a patreon channel. And I have watched youtube reactions from 3 or 4 channels now including yours.
All this before starting Stanger Things S4E1. LOL
I got the same feels at the beginning with the padwans training and order 66 starting.
Like "Holy crap... we're starting HERE...."
Heck of an intro.
Quarter brick half a brick whole brick ay 😂😂😂so good
A space koala pops up on the screen that eats its own diarrhea and spits acid on little children for fun

I always ask myself how you can enjoy watching a show by constantly chatting and commenting almost every little thing you see. The amount of things you oversee this way must be astonishing.

Yoooo Sir Chris in the Jedi Drip 😆🤣👍🏼
Min 22:36 - Like them not having a clue who the inquisitors were when they saw the trailer 😅😂
Was my man hitting a dab pen in the beginning? Lmao
Bail was watching Leia dress down her cousin. It’s not clear whether the cousin snitched or not, but they did show Bail watching Leia during the party. That’s how he knew what happened. He keeps a close eye on her.
Finish Clone Wars, you must. Lot to learn, you still have. Normies, you guys are.
Thank you Spidey for calling out that chase scene. It was so bad, they were jogging so slow and were running into branches when they were staring at it
I gotta say if you go running into unfamiliar woods, you might run that way? At least I have. Lol
Reminder: They have not watched Rebels (hopefully that's just a 'yet'). While I understand we want to explain certain things to them that show up elsewhere in canon, try to let them get to those explanations the natural way instead of saying "they explain/show in _____ that ______". For instance, take how they ask "why, clones why?" during order 66. They'll get there. If it's something they probably should know or forgot, that's one thing, but try not to go spoiling this stuff.
also: The series is giving them any relevant info they need at the moment.
when that thug hit the tree chasing Leia LUL🤦♂
The actress that played Little Leah is actually 9 years old and she will turn 10 on June 4th next month and she played Sandra Bullock's daughter in the movie "Bird Box".
Fifth Brother is played by Sung Kang
The cool dood that plays Han in the F&F series
Bro I thought it was Michael Rooker at first too and than I was like, duh it’s Flea. They do look similar though haha 😂
The Third Sister is new for this series, the Fifth Brother and the Grand Inquisitor are featured in Rebels. The Fifth Brother is played by Sung Kang, aka. Han from the Fast & Furious movies.
Also, Luke used to bullseye womp rats in his T-16 (skyhopper) back home, and they're not much bigger than 2 meters.
You vs Eric
Star wars off behind the gym
3pm
@@jjmmm515 eric would lose. Eric is the kind of star wars fan that thinks he knows so much, while being consistently wrong.
Who wore it best, Mace or Chris? Fans are saying Chris.
Vivien Lyra Blair who plays young Leia is actually cast pretty age appropriate. She is playing 10 year old Leia and she is actually 9 years old and will be 10 years old on June, 4. I know there were some questions from the Normies about her age with them saying she looks 5, but she was actually cast for the correct age. So far I think she is an amazing young Leia and does pull some Padme vibes at times too. Great casting in my opinion.
The asian inquisitor is Han from the fast and furious franchise for those of you who were asking
Rena with that FF reference. I see you, madam!
Nah this premiere was deep!
Leia burned that kid harder than her father on mustafar 🔥🔥🔥
Also, SLAY queen 👑👏
han seoul-oh in star wars
john williams composed the obi-wan theme. natalie holt did the score for the rest of the show.
moses ingram (third sister) was in The Queen's Gambit.
Rana, do you post rhe notes you take on Patreon?
The Inquisitors are like the Men in Black, they read the Tabloids to get intel
Y’all didn’t see Rebels beforehand, both male Inquisitors are from that series
There's so many good movies with Hayden besides Star Wars that he absolutely KILLS it on, the 2 that pop into my head when I think of Hayden are Jumper and Takers. He's sooo phenomenal and honestly I love those movies more than the Prequels with him.
I need you guys to do a skit of an infant Leia crawling around and none of you can catch her
They missed an opportunity to have Leia reply “I don’t know what you’re talking about” when her mother says “You had to do this today.”
