This is the first Star Wars Disney oplus series to begin with the long time ago intro card, and it’s used to set up the prequel recap. I thought this was a brilliant use of the card to show us that this series is going to revisit familiar territory, but give us something new.
It’s a brilliantly edited recap that perfectly sums up all the parts of the prequels you need to know, and leaves out the Jar-Jar. You can tell a lot about the tone for the series by the clips they chose to include, like this one [I have failed you anakin] is setting up how Obi-Wan feels like he let down that little boy, and he’s terrified he’ll do the same to Luke [oh like you trained his father]. Exactly.
Then we go to Coruscant during Order 66. We start on the senate building, where order 66 was ordered and the rise of the sith began, and then the camera pulls back to reveal some greenery,a rare site on Coruscant. This is to show us that the jedi temple is a place of peace and balance. And notice that the first youngling we focus on is this little girl. Who I think is the inquisitor Reva, who is recklessly trying to find obi wan kenobi.
Many of the sith inquisitors are former jedi. The grand inquisitor was a jedi guard we saw here, and the second sister from fallen order was a padawan who was betrayed by her master, kind of. So it makes sense that this youngling would have been turned, and probably blame sobi wan for not saving her at the temple, or something.
Or maybe she is just very loyal to darth Vader, and Vader would want Obi wan found above all other jedi, because of this [him lighting on fire] Reva being a former jedi would also give a double meaning to this phrase [reva at the end: jedi hunt themselves]
The jedi who saves them is named Minas Vekti, and we haven’t seen her before. But we have seen glimpses of other Jedi masters saving younglings, like these three protecting Grogu.
The grand hall of the Jedi was also faithfully reproduced from the prequels and video games like jedi: fallen order-notice the statues of past jedi masters and even the pattern on the floor.
A very cool thing about this opening is that these are the first live action clone troopers we’ve ever seen. IN the prequels they were all CGI.
Obi-Wan’s name appears from the sand, much like the character is going to emerge from the desert to help young Leia.
Then on to Tatooine where the inquisitors are landing. Notice how the inquisitor's ship casts a shadow that looks very much like Vader’s palace on Mustafar. I’m wondering if this could be a nod to the sith’s rule of 2, that there is always a master and an apprentice.
I love how when people are scrambling, the jawas also pick up the dice game they’re running like they’re about to get caught selling bootleg purses.
Then we meet the Grand Inquisitor, who first appeared in Star Wars Rebels where he was voiced by Jaosn Isaacs. . We covered this in our obi wan recap, but the sith inquisitors are not full fledged sith like vader and palpatine. They are force sensitive agents who are trained in the ways of the sith ti hint down jedi. Some of them were recruited from the Jedi, others were raised from infancy-and they are all potential threats to Vader's power.
This other one is named the fifth brother, and you might remember him from star wars rebels.
This whole sequence were the inquisitors are hunting for jedi, felt like it was drawing on the history of the Holocaust. The inquisitors take on the role of SS agents, searching for jews across europe. The grand inquisitor's speech even seems inspired from the opening scene of the inglourious basterds [jedi hunt themselves] [i think like a jew]
Black clad evil soldiers searching for persecuted members of an ancient religion-pretty on the nose. Later the shot of the hanged jedi even parallels this scene in Jojo Rabbit.

Displate?Datplate?
Do you think Leia's little droid, 'Lola', was inspired by the movie 'Batteries Not Included', at all..?
whats is the size on the ones you have behind you?
Did the other younglings save Grogu? That could explain how he ended up held up by that group later since they wouldn’t have the experience to keep him safe for long!
Hey, you know how you said go easy on the spoilers? It's just.. there's something about Alderaan you need to know..
I've always liked the idea that Leia has always been just as strong with the force as Luke, however, whereas Luke's connections with the force allowed him to become physically strong, Leia's connections with the force helped sharpen her mind to help her become a wise ,and strong leader. This show really does a fantastic job at showing that I think.
Just a little correction: John Williams only wrote the main theme for the show, while Natalie Holt (who also scored Loki) composed the music for the rest of the show.
Thank you! I keep seeing all these breakdown sites talking about how he's returned to score the series. Like...no, and that's why we only get short glimpses of his previous Star Wars motifs in this show.
Yeah it’s too bad. Even if it’s not him, it’d be nice if she’d reprise more of the classic themes. Not sure why composers are always so shy about that. Most of the score (in the first episode anyway) was mostly forgettable and boring.
I love that the Inquisitors can’t get anything done because they keep bickering amongst themselves, really showing why the rule of two exists.
I didn’t think about that. That’s actually a really good point.
It's VERY reflective of a lot of organizations here on Earth...
i wish there was a duel between the inquisitors it would really show what the dark side is like constantly trying to take power from another dark side user
Exactly
What makes it even funnier is that the Brothers and Sisters bicker so they can eventually become Grand Inquisitor, and that position is a strong 3rd Place at BEST since no one else will be allowed to become anywhere near as powerful politically or in the Force as Vader and Palpatine.
This show really hits home something I've been thinking about for 30 years. How Luke was sent to the violent desert while Leia lived like a straight up boss.
So f'd up...and leia still a brat...complainer
100% agreed that Leia seems to have force abilities. She read Ben pretty well to
They have to try to fix that horrible introduction to her using the force in Last Jedi.
Between the prequels and the last 3 movies, they have a lot of fixing to do.
+Force Awakens wasn't so bad in my opinion.
@UHLEXEUS I would imagine they'd have to give them credit for the recap at the start. Disney is usually pretty good about doing the credits episode by episode in their shows, not one credit reel for the entire season.
She didn't read Ben well at all! One hologram and she instantly thinks he's the mastermind behind her kidnapping! She didn't trust him until she nearly killed herself trying to get away from him. If that hadn't happened she'd have kept running and never been found while he's getting shot in the back by bounty hunters.
She has force abilities.... Her father is Anakin/Vader.... Like duh.....
Luke is the successor to Anakin, Leia is the successor to Padme. Not sexist.
“This is where the fun begins” the words of a truly wise man
I always found it a bit strange when Leia got excited saying "Ben Kenobi!" in the New Hope prison break scene. She was pleading for Obi-Wan Kenobi in the hologram, but I guess her hologram message was a diplomat formally asking for help from a general, rather than Leia talking to Ben. But after watching the first two episodes of the Obi-Wan series, her knowing him as "Ben" makes more sense and her empathy toward Luke's loss is more sympathetic.
I never understood why anyone would be confused about thay regardless. I figured Bail would've told Leia any names Obi-Wan might go by. It makes sense.
💯💯💯💯. Could barely watch A New Hope when she would call him Ben when as far as we knew he was only Obi-Wan. Another plot hole filled.
Well done on being selected on the Ps5 shortlist bro, best of luck.
@@Godzzbinzz Why have luck when I have thoughts and prayers.
Yea that was a great touch!
The scene with obi wan not being able to help out his cooworker reminded me of the zygerrian arc from the clone wars. He gets captured and every bit of hope is drained away as he is powerless when the zygerrians punish the other slaves and not him
Obi-Wan was probably able to mentally use that time to help him fight the urge to help post Jedi days.
That’s the exact same thing that came to my mind too lol
episode 1 was EVERYthing I wanted. PTSD Obiwan, ruthless Inquisitors, gritty. Sentimental. Emotional. Well acted. Well written. Everything.
I really liked the way they used Leia as the inciting incident to really kick off the story, with Obiwan going all John Wick and digging up his weapons. I imagine some people are upset because that's all a chunk of Star Wars fandom is these days, but I really enjoyed the first episode.
Disney bought a franchise of two sets of trilogies filmed decades apart from each other.
You'll always ruffle a few feathers when you have die hard fans ranging 4-60+ plus years old.
We all watch this looking for something different
I really like this show, and the writer/showrunner worked on John Wick 2 and 3 so that would make sense.
I think Reva is looking for revenge on Anakin and she knows that she can get close to him if she presents him with Obi Wan. It was Anakin who killed the younglings in that attack not Obi Wan
Ya but because she’s black she’ll have some stupid hero arc where she’ll team up with Obi Wan and beat the white oppression from her leaders such as the other inquisitors. BECAUSE THEY ARE WHITE. I hate social justice in Star wars
Possibly. Or she could hate the jedi that lived, that never came to help a youngling who was left to defend for herself as they in her eyes cowardly went off to hide to selfishly protect themselves leaving little kids to make it on their own. In one scene you can tell she is projecting when she say's "They failed you, They abandoned you". She means They failed her they abandoned her it's quite obvious if you listen.
@@flight-815 I would imagine she’s probably quite grumpy at a lot of people, given the circumstances. It may even have been Obi Wan who enlisted her at the temple. I liked the first two episodes, so I’m looking forward to finding out.
I think so too. She’s definitely feels like she’s trying to overachieve to meet with Anakin or the Emperor.
This. Sith logic is keep playing evil stooge until you get the opportunity to kill your boss. Vader emperor, kylo snoke, starkiller Vader.
Outstanding video as always.
For me this episode was heartbreaking as it mirrored my experience as a disabled veteran. I was in the army with a security clearance and when I had a back injury and was retired I felt lost. I suddenly had to not talk about what I had done, couldn't communicate easily with people who were similar to me, and had to suffer through jobs that were unfulfilling, but paid the rent. Thankfully, I did not have the mountain of PTSD that Obi-wan does.
Thank you for your service. I hope things are going better for you.
@@KevyNova You're welcome! Things are better, but it took years of work, a rock solid support system, and a loving family to get where I am today. I can't wait to hear the writer(s?) talk about this in detail.
Why did you feel the need to bring up you had a security clearance? Doesn't really seem relevant to being a disabled veteran
@@ob1kenobi. Probably the lack of ability to share his experiences freely due to it being restricted information. It's hard to move past stuff when you can't talk about it. Why are you nitpicking on some small aspect of a stranger's comment? He was just relating some shared experience he had with the show. Jesus.
Thanks for your service and glad to hear you're in a better place now. Our military seems to get great support while active, but not nearly enough support after their service ends. Hope that changes.
@@victorb5 well, I was in the army also but I've never really just hear of people casually throwing out the security clearance part. For the most part unless you have like a super high clearance then it really doesn't mean much.
This is kind of a "nerd" detail, but the Anakin lightsaber Obi-Wan dug up is in the original configuration. The lightsaber hilt has gone through minor changes over the years. It's good to see they got the "original" version so it will tie in to A NEW HOPE and not tick off the saber geeks like me...LOL
I also noticed this, thought it was a cool detail
Yea the first thing i saw was that little bubble strip.
lol that's attention to detail.
I think that the intro scene in the Jedi council was brilliant. Such a great way to introduce the show and the very thing that ROTS missed in the entirety of that amazing film. I was thrilled to see our clone boys back in action
This episode was surprisingly emotional for me . I didn't realize that I was this invested.
Opening scene caught me off guard. I wasn't ready to go back to the Jedi Temple!!! They got me good lol
When Kenobi is about to board the ship and you just see the lightsaber hanging there it was a great feeling
I enjoyed how Obi-Wan's advice to "go to the middle of the desert and bury that thing in the sand," turned out to be life advice he had practiced.
I love that with Owen you can tell he doesn't want Obi-wan going through losing someone else aswell as not letting Luke be trained incase he dies aswell. Use to think he was just a grumpy old fart but this really made me understand why he was the way he was
Also. A funny thing about Sun Kang, is that his character's full name in the Fast & Furious film series is HAN SEOUL-OH. Which means he was kinda destinated to play someone in the Star Wars universe. 😜
Oh shit
One of the ships they showed with Leia was the one designed by Porsche specifically for Star Wars. Thought that was cool.
I saw that too!
They seriously nailed this story. The vibe is perfect. It's interesting because Ewan, who has played Obi 3 times had to act totally different. Like Wolverine was in Logan.
A season two of his childhood and very younger days of being a Jedi would be very interesting.
They created a massive plot hole. Reva can find Obi-Wan but Vader can’t? Leia would now be compromised by the empire and in a new hope Vader would know he’s connected to Obi.
@@andrewraley6247 Leia wouldn’t be compromised. She was kidnapped and on my reva supports that choice. Everyone else, even the inquisitors, want to save her. Also reva will likely die and she’s the only one who knows their connection.
Also, Reva did something extremely reckless to find Kenobi, and even that was by chance. And reva apparently has been obsessed with him, while Vader has been mostly busy.
@@andrewraley6247
Nope...
Fun fact: Leia says to Needles, that her father will save her, by sending an army. He didn't send an army - he sent the general.
Needles lol. Imagine if we got a scene where he calls obi Wan a chicken 😁
Excellent job, as always. I think there is another interesting easter egg. When little Leia is running in the woods, she move her hands the same Leia's does when she was running in ANH. Carrie Fisher move her hands side to side. The little girl did the same.
I noticed that Bale, when speaking in a more official capacity, or simply to people of his own station, he speaks with something closer to a British accent, just like Leia does with Vader and Tarkin, and Padme does in the prequels. This can’t be specific to Alderaanian officials, since Padme is from Naboo, but is more likely a tradition of decorum for children of privilege who enter into politics early and go through programs like the junior senate.
Good eye/ear!
Somthing I noticed that others haven't mentioned is that Bail Organa has the Organa family crest on his belt buckle and on the his leather wrist bracers. I first saw this crest in SWTOR.
I was not expecting the little Leia story arc I loved that we didn’t know!
When Leia was in the trees watching star ships her outfit reminded me of the flight suits the rebel pilots wore years later. So did Leia have some design input?
Reminded me of her white costume on Hoth and the way she runs and walks is very much the same as Carrie in ANH.
Later her green outfit just looks like her fit for the moon of Endor battle
I love how in some scenes with Kenobi, you can hear McGregor’s actual accent shine through his Kenobi voice
The toy is a T-16 Skyhopper. The one Luke talks about shooting womp rats with.
right?? it's hilarious because today i've watched several episode breakdown channels and every single one has gotten this ship wrong.
We see 18 year old Luke playing with that toy briefly as C3-PO is coming out of the oil bath in ANH.
And the real one is parked right outside, seen through the doorway.
The reviewer managed to spot an imaginary holocaust reference (not at all), but missed the absolutely obvious - for any real star wars fan - skyhopper toy - not a shuttle, which is not only in a new hope, but also in Rebel Assault as well as in a Lego set.
Thank you!!!! Lol I also commented on that. I would think if you have a channel about a subject that you should know your stuff before posting!!!!
I love young Leia. She totally had that Skywalker sass.
I suppose generally "the jedi hunt themselves", or getting jedi to reveal themselves by endangering innocents or people they are bonded with, first in the saloon and then in the faux kidnapping, is similar to Vader's plan in empire? The whole capture the friends and torture them on bespin lures Luke out.
A couple things I noticed, the jawa that obi wan talks to has a name, teeka I think, and if I'm correct it's the first named jawa weve seen outside of legends. The other thing I noticed was that the shovel obi wan used was literally a military style folding shovel like we have here on earth, and to be frank, i think it belongs on the same kind of list as the diner from AOTC
Same! The shovel is called a K-Tool (I think)- my dad had one from the Marine Corps !
leia is so leia I love it 😂 I really enjoyed episode 1 more than ep 2 but still was able to enjoy it a lot. Ewan is amazing. And can't wait for Hayden to fully show up.
That kid is so annoying
Seeing that homeless clone trooper was so heartbreaking.
like a Bantha
@@phoule76 🤣
It really touched me how even though the Clones killed the Jedi, Obi-Wan gives him some of the little money that he has. Obi has forgiven him.
It was one of the ones that stormed the temple too
John Williams only wrote Obi Wans theme for this show..the score was written by Natalie Holt (composer of Loki)
Cap
Leia's mother Padme gave R2D2 a special commendation when she first fled Naboo to Tattooine after the Trade Federation's invasion in Episode I. I guess droid appreciation runs in the family.
I also think Reva,the 3rd Sister is the older sister of a cadet we saw befriend Ezra in Rebels Season 1.
The Cadet told Ezra they took her sister for "a special training" and he never saw her again.
No one else get the Princes Bride reference from the 3rd sister? When describing the torture "first we start with the hands"
Very much like "To the Pain"
You said Obi-Wan pulled a "reverse Rey", pulling the sabers out of the sand, and I thought the same... Except he actually used a shovel? I was wondering why, then it hit me: he really is avoiding using the force at all costs.
He really struggled to lift Leia with the Force and there are a bunch of times where it seemed like "sensing" in the Force or using Jedi mind tricks really could have saved him. But I get the impression he actively has avoiding using the Force over the past 10 years, and is out of practice.
What a start to the series!
What a vague comment about the mostly cringe series!
It’s already half way over lol
An impressive start so far! Seeing Vader at the end sent me chills!
Was waiting for this! Best content out there, keep up the great work guys 😁
What did you think of the episode?
It good
Splendid
Give it a solid 9/10
Awesome
I was surprised at the direction, but I LOVED it!!! One character really stole the show for me... Avoiding spoilers, but you probably know who I'm talking about....
7:23 I think it's worth noting that the Scurriers were based on the maud'dib desert mice from Frank Herbert's Dune, which also inspired things such as the Jawa's sand crawlers and the idea of hyperspace routes.
Thought the exact same thing
I personally don't give a damn if anyone has anything negative to say. I really enjoyed the first two episodes and I am looking forward to the rest. It really showed the human side of Obi-Wan and just how broken he is because of what happened. I thought the opening scene at the temple was great and didn't even notice the youngling who could be Reva. I hope it is true because it would make perfect sense why she's turned and is making the Jedi hunt so personal.
Screencrush easter egg vids. One of the best perks of a new Star Wars series showing up on Disney+ !!
The Saloon owner in the beginning is played by Derek Basco, the eldest brother of Dante Basco (aka Prince Zuko from Avatar: the last Airbender, Jake Long from American Dragon: Jake Long, and Rufio from Steven Spielberg's Hook)
Did the other younglings save Grogu? That could explain how he ended up held up by that group later since they wouldn’t have the experience to keep him safe for long!
True, we only know Grogu was "taken" from the temple -- he could have been rescued, or he could have been stolen.
My money is still on Yaddle saving him, especially since we know she survived because of games. But it will be a fun reveal when it happens...
“Now the Jedi are all but extinct” is an Obi Wan quote from A New Hope too.
I agree about Leia sensing what her cousin was truly feeling. She's already developing her Force abilities even though she's unaware of that fact.
We've seen Alderaan before in the Old Republic cinematic trailer: Hope. It looks identical to the Alderaan here.
And in the prequels, Bail goes home with Leia.
@@Someaddress555s True. we saw it for a brief second but not enough of it
@@OfficialRedTeamReview definitely not enough, especially since our original time seeing it was as the Death Star blew it to pieces in ANH. I can't say how impressed I am that Disney finally kept a major plotline secret, I don't think anyone imagined seeing Leia in this series and I can only hope they keep the writing this good for the rest of the series. Leia has been spectacular IMO. Honestly I can't say enough about everything from the lines the young actress was given, to the wardrobe, but then her acting and or the directing has been great and I can only imagine Carrie Fisher is smiling knowing that they made such an amazing version of her character appear again on screen.
Like everyone. Why is 3rd Sister so obsessed with Obi? Could be that padawan who esaped in the intro and then was found poor and hungry "in a gutter" as the Grand Inquisitor said, she'd know who Anakin was from the Jedi Temple and may have met other survivors who said he was Vader or she may have been a "friend" or admirer of Anakin who now wants to please him by killing Obi who Anakin blames for himself and Padme.
I'm also one of those hoping we of course see Qui Gon Jinn. They have shown Obi try to ask his former masters opinions on things and so far nothing, so I think by the end of this series he'll open himself back up to the force. I think that's the transformation they're really playing at here with this series, that Obi hasn't really done much but work and watch Luke for a decade. He's basically been a monk, much like Luke in 7+8, but they were both powerful fighters with the force before they failed at training someone who fell to the dark side and then closed off from the force only to then spend years closed off from the force until they realize the can use their minds for greater good than just fighting would ever accomplish.
------------🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫🚫-----------------------
I spaced this out because anyone reading this should stop here if you haven't seen all of the Star Wars shows. Spoilers, but if like speculation with other fans so read on and reply if you would like because it's about to get nerdy.
I really hope we get to see the live action version of Obi vs Maul. It was awesome to see that storyline end, but I can't help but wonder how many people who are watching this series and have never watched Rebels to know Maul is still around and badass at 48. And it would be a great scene with Ewan, while also lining up the main stream appearance of Ezra and the rest of the Rebels who are allegedly coming up in the next year in other series.
I also think it would be cool if we get to see a teenage Bobba Fett or the Hutts in some form, even if it's just a passing by and builds a touch of lore for the original trilogy or some other property. Maybe Greedo idk?
“The Jedi hunt themselves” has so many meanings and I love it. First, their job is easy - just cause suffering and eventually a compassionate being will appear - most likely a Jedi. Second, the team is made up of former Jedi. But also, when faced with something as insurmountable as the Empire, Jedi would most likely turn inward spiritually and therefore “hunt” their inner self, which would lead to increasingly compassionate behavior, making them stick out to the inquisitors. Full circle. I also think they’re teasing Obi Wan going into hermitage to practice reaching qui-gonn through the veil. I’m assuming that prequel Jedi had not mastered that skill so maybe it only works in master-apprentice or parent-child relationships as opposed to the sith “save others from death” power described by Sheev. Would also explain why obi wan, yoda, and anakin show up in ep VI and Luke and Leia show up in ep IX as force ghosts. All of them have close relationships with the people seeing them
Obi-Wan also said the line "Now the Jedi are all but extinct" in A New Hope.
In the title reveal, the "I" in "Kenobi" is his lightsaber. Foreshadowing how his lightsaber will be uncovered from the sand it's currently buried in.
… so, Luke was totally at peace with himself when he could see Obi Wan’s force ghost or later, Yoda’s? Eh … I don’t think so.
8:34 ‘He raised a Jedi’ not alone he didn’t. It may be Beru’s raising and values that were a bigger influence on Luke.
6:16 R4-P17 was decapitated in Episode III.
6:39 Obi-Wan actually says the same phrase to Luke in A New Hope.
10:38 I noticed C-3PO, but missed R2-D2.
11:05 I was thinking the same thing.
I want to point out that Anakin's lightsaber has the bubble activator that we saw in A New Hope. It was replaced with the gold bar activator in ESB, ROTS, and the sequel trilogy.
ROTS... as in Revenge Of The Sith? Then doesn't that make it inaccurate? Because this series is set 10 years after ROTS, so it should have the gold bar activator you mentioned.
@@afiqazman6615 No. In the original Star Wars, the activator was the bubble activator. It's the only interpretation of it where it has the bubble activator, so this is them trying to say it's closer to ANH than anything else.
I’m always amazed that after all the thousands of battle droids the Jedi have been fighting for a decade they are just killed by a few clones so easily.
The Clones where always programmed to know how to kill jedi. They knew the way they reflect blaster bolts and they knew exactly on which spots on and on what frequent they have to shoot at them, so that they eventually get overwelmed and make a mistake. Non the less, a sith lord and a former Jedi where involved in the creation of the clones, with the only one goal to make a big ass genocide.
Droids where just a simple and cheap "Distraction-Tool", created by the very same men, who made the clones
Great video as always! I feel a responsibility to report it’s not a T-1 shuttle model but a T-16 skyhopper that Ben has, and I imagine eventually gives to Luke. Great throwback and connection to ANH!
ALSO: if we see skyhoppers racing in this series, I will FREAK OUT.
6:12 "I don't seem to remember ever owning a droid." - Obi-Wan
You're about 20 years late to the party bro
I really REALLY like this show so far. It's much better than the book of boba fett. It looks like it has a better budget and the story is good so far.
The costume detail in this one (especially the 2nd episode) really scratched an itch in my brain...
The chasing Leia through the woods was kind of lousy. She runs very slowly and yet they couldn't catch up to her and were even intentionally running in to stuff. It just made them look really stupid when they are supposed to be threatening. Also, it happens again in epiosde 2!
Probably already mentioned but, leia also uses R2 to help escape from jabba’s sail barge in return of the Jedi when he breaks the chain tying her to jabba
Literally waited all day for this video to drop. Now, I can rejoice
I yelled FLEA! at the top of my lungs and then Leiah did exactly that. She fled.
Anyone else notice how the Obi Wan title is made of sand and Anakin hates both Sand and Obi Wan. It's like poetry
I think Owen trained himself to block his thoughts, and feelings, albeit ,it appeared that reva was beginning to sense something in owen when she was interrupt, and told to stop.
Or just learned from the Hutts and other gangsters to keep your eyes down and clear your mind or you might get shot.
No one seems to talk about how Anakin was one of the few who was Jedi by choice until his fall. The Younglings didn’t have a choice in joining the Order.
You know it's the Star Wars universe when you have to combine clips from the 80s classics, the prequels, a video game and a kids show in order to explain a new series.
Cool. Hey, Obi Wan actually says "Now the Jedi are all but extinct" to Luke in ANH
I was really skeptical about the grand inquistor's design but, I was able to overlook it bc of how good the actor play them👌🏽
Yeah I was actually really impressed by this. He really nailed the way Isaac voiced the character
Reva IS a fomer youngling, and shes harboring a deep hatred for Anakin Skywalker after witnessing his slaughter in the temple. She's dug in deep into her dark side to fuel her vengeance. I think she wants Obi-Wan captured to secure herself an audience with Lord Vader, so she can strike him down.
...but we know who will be dying at the end of this series, dont we?
a thing I only noticed when watching right now is that Leia´s clothes mimic the rebel X-Wing pilot´s uniforms. Neat
When she later puts on the green coat the outfit looks like in RotJ on Endor.
In canon, no one new that Anakin was Vader…only Tarkin and Thrawn had inklings of it…mistake for the lowest ranking Inquistor to be in on the secret
Some knew, but they feared Vader’s wrath. He despised Anakin and killed everyone that mentioned that Vader is in fact Skywalker.
I'm guessing sinc she was in the temple she probably saw Anakin slicing up Jedi and it was pretty obvious from then.
Far too early to say that it's a mistake, it's likely going to be explored.
My guess is that Anakin/Vader spared her life at the temple because he sensed the Dark Side in her and that’s why she knows, but also why she’s so faithful to him.
Yoda and Obi Wan know Vader is Anakin from the Jedi temple recordings (ROTS). I don’t think Reva told Obi Wan - I think she read his mind
I'm surprised how everything even worked out in the long run!, I mean- what I mean is I find it rather uncanny. when I first watched the original trilogies I was confused and find some little things rather strange but now watching these newly released star wars series especially Obi-Wan Kenobi, I can see that now and I'm so happy that they followed the steps of the original trilogies and kept on the same pace.
+Respect..
Gotta say, agree with Ryan. Young Leia is awesome. Love me a smartass kid in shows, and she has nailed it so far.
She's almost as badass as Laura in 'Logan.'
The kid so so annoying and causes nothing but trouble
The grand inquisitor says to the sister “you are reckless!” Just like Yoda said to Luke
THERES A BREAKING BAD REFERENCE IN EPISODE 2!!! When obi throws the spice on the ground, it is like Walter making the explosion to knock out crazy 8 and his cousin. He even locks them in the room like Walter locked them in the RV
I saw Batman do it in 1968. But okay I guess Walter White invented it.
both episodes are thinly veiled rip offs from a dozen other movies/tv shows...it was pathetic...Anything Kuntleen Kennedy touches turns to shit.
I have had a theory since it's never been explained, mentioned in Shadows of the Empire Luke goes back to Obi-Wan's house and finds a green crystal to rebuild his lightsaber. I wonder if Obi-Wan kept Qui-Gon's crystal, after cutting Darth Maul in half, as a token and that's why also Luke fights a little more like Qui-Gon in the Return of the Jedi.
Love all the symbolism this series is having.
When the hologram appears for Leia's parents her mother says Help us Obi Wan we don't trust anyone else. In A New Hope Leia says Help us Obi Wan you're our only hope.
or maybe he cut himself off from the force, he did struggle to stop Leia from falling
Flea’s female bounty hunter companion appears to be a Falleen, the race that controls the Black Sun criminal empire in the old legends canon.
I was thinking that too! Maybe it’s a shout out to SotE?
A young Leia show based on Claudia Gray’s Princess of Alderaan would be incredible
I like that even without reaching out to Qui Gon, Obi Wan pulls a Liam Neeson and goes after Leia when she was... TAKEN.
The one thing I don’t get is the buried astromech droid, when Old Ben says “I don’t recall ever owning a droid.” in ANH.
5:15 i really hope that is a spacs whale! Because then we might see one alive whenever they decide to introduce either Ezra bridger or Thrawn. Maybe both?
John Williams didn't make the film score for the show, only the main theme. Natalie Holt (who was the composer for Loki) did the soundtrack for Kenobi
Man Ewan did a good job coming across as a broken Obi Wan..I really felt bad for him. Kinda pitied him.
The entire episode is about Obi-Wan wanting to stay hidden, forget about the past, and try to move forward; but the only way he Can movie forward is by acknowledging the past.
Its no mistake that Basil Oregano happened to be standing like a Jedi in Obi-Wan cave. It was Imagery smbolizing Obi-Wan having to face his past to overcome his PTSD.
And the show ends with him actually digging up the past, in the sense of him digging up their sabers. He can only begin to grow if he digs into his past.
Wasn't that customized Gameboy Advance in Obi-One's box? Staying long on that desert may be boring, a round of Pokemon Red is always a good time killer :D
It's also a nod to the older movies, where they used repainted everyday products to act as a futuristic device.
I love how Tatooine is like the westerns (and spegetti westerns) and Alderaan is like the hyper-futuristic, hopeful settings of 1950 sci fi. Almost Art Deco too?
Great job Ryan. Thanks big time. Looking forward to all your coverage of Obiwan
Obi Wan has cut himself off from the force .. Thats why its so hard for him to conjour up the force later when he needs to use it ... A great touch ..
6:38 I do not think it is a refrence to Tarkin. It is Obi-Wan himself who says "Now the Jedi are all but extinct." when speaking to Luke in New Hope.
I like the new room, but I'm going to miss the old one
The Jedi who was teaching the younglings during the opening scene was played by Ming Qiu, who is Ming-Na Wen's Fennec Shand stunt double on 'The Mandalorian' and 'The Book of Boba Fett.'
The mini droid (toy?) the Leia has at her side seems to be inspired by the 1987 movie: Batteries Not Included
I'd like to say that the High Inquisitor was pretty patient, kind, and understanding to the locals as someone who's out to kill someone with no remorse. Am I WRONG?
I was thinking Anakin saved those younglings and took them under his wings without anyone knowing, Yoda and Obi-wan pretty much told everyone that Anakin killed all the children and turned Padme against Anakin.
Maybe Anakin had some plan under his sleeves with those children and bring balance back to the force but Obi-wan pretty much ruined that for him on Mustafar. I think this is real reason why Anakin ordered Reva to find Obi-wan.
