But they look nothing like 10 years apart. It's a generational thing. Poor diets and tons of smoking in post WW-II era. We're not living longer these days, but we are staying healthier and looking better much later in life.. in general. By today's standards, if you met Alec Guiness on the street and had to guess his age, no way you'd say early 60's unless you were trying to be kind.
Life on Tatooine must be harsh, Owen and Beru Lars looked much older than the ten years between this and A New Hope. Luke too looked older than your average 20 year old, Mark Hamil being 26 when shooting ANH. Carrie Fisher was a bit closer to her character's age at 21, but then a Princess of Alderaan would have had a less harsh life.
I don't know if Ewan McGregor will achieve Alec Guinness-level wrinkles in 10 years time, but I bet if they cut his hair and let it go grey/white, he could look a lot closer to Guinness.
it was actually right there in the final episode... before then, from the moment he knew... he saw Vader as his old student Anakin... and clings to the hope that his former padawan & friend was still in there somewhere. Their last duel in the episode essentially made it clear to him that there was no trace of the person he knew... so no hope of redemption. ~though you would wonder why Vader wouldn't run him through with his sabre or crush his old master with his hate & pain... sadly, the plot armor is strong in Kenobi... it is his show after all ~it could be a reason why he ended up developing his sabre hand cutting technique down the road :p
a near perfect finale to the season in my view. Enough fan service to be pleasing and a satisfying closure to most characters arcs. It left me with a huge smile as the credits rolled.
I feel like they nailed it. The series has its share of flaws in both writing and execution, but this finale knocked it out of the proverbial park for me as a fan since '77.
@@twstf8905 Agreed. Empire is not only one the best filmed anything in Star Wars history, but in my opinion, it's one of the greatest movies ever made!
1:33 Actually, Vader used Reva’s own lightsaber. 3:59 Vader’s line (“Then you will die.”) reminded me of his duel with Ahsoka in Rebels. 10:38 I’m just glad that “Jinn Watch” proved to be a success.
Aunt Beru stockpiling weapons and holding down the fort while Luke runs into the desert means she and Uncle Owen ABSOLUTELY put up a fight before they got roasted by the Empire in A New Hope.
Thanks for these breakdowns. My 11 yr old daughter and I watch these after each episode to see what we may have missed, and we laugh every time. I believe the ship in the background on Alderaan is a Lancer Class Pursuit Craft. We saw one in the battle of Exegol, and Ketsu Onyo flew a version of one in Rebels.
Oh, the exchange between Obi-Wan and Vader has even more than just an update to Mustafar's original exchange. Vader will later say "then you will die" to Ahsoka as well when they square off of Malachor.
FYI - His final outfit was not taken from the Comics, it came from the Sideshow Collectibles original Mythos statue and subsequent Sixth Scale figure which came out before the comics.
A kidnapped kid plot would have been cooler with Qui gon Jinn. " I don't know who you are, I dont know what you want. I have jedi skills that make me a nightmare for inquisitors like you"
Really enjoyed the storytelling in the finale (esp. the parallel revenge plots), but I have to admit that the Force "power creep" is really starting to bug me. Those rocks were literally crumbling around their bodies - it's not like the Force makes you invulnerable to damage! I always liked that the Force wasn't THAT powerful in physical terms; I like limitation to my magic systems.
I don’t want a second season! I loved this season, but it was enough. I do want to see a Reva show though. Moses Ingram did an absolutely amazing job as Reva and Reva’s story could be very interesting. We’ve never been shown that kind of story before and I need it.
@@joshua5174 dude, stop deluding yourself as being everyone. You don't talk for most people. You don't want to see it, fine, but you don't represent us with your infantile narcisism.
Anakin partially hates himself cuz he thinks he is responsible for his kids dying and wife so it’s kinda sad they don’t tell him to try to get him from the dark side. Obviously they can’t cuz of a new hope but it’s a little crappy they don’t try
My only issue with this finale is the fact that Obi-Wan just chooses to walk away rather than try to finish Vader off. This is the moment when he finally accepts that Anakin is truly gone (which we fans all know he was wrong about). Logically, it does not make sense for him to leave Vader alive if he has a choice, because of how much future harm Vader can do. Obviously Vader can't die in this show, so I think what they should have done was have Obi-Wan sense that Luke was in danger as he was preparing to finish Vader (who still would have had some fight in him to drag the duel out longer), forcing Obi-Wan to choose to try to save Luke instead of killing Vader. This would spare Vader so Luke could eventually save him in Return of the Jedi.
for someone feared across the galaxy far far away, Vader kept leaving people who can potentially do him harm alive in this series... sure... he burried his former master under (let's say) a ton of rock... but surely as sensitive in the force as he was, he could sense Kenobi using the force to hold the rock back? It wouldn've made more sense to stand there and wait for the old general's will to break & succumb to his tomb.... walking away like that was just illogical as arrogant as he was... it's not like he had somewhere pressing to go to... just another way for Kenobi to 'surprise' him later & turn the tide... ... the battle reminded me of those old cheesy WWF bouts I ate up as a kid... where the 'hero' wrestler would be beaten down & come back swinging with a miraculously overpowering second wind to win the match.
... oh... btw, while they were chasing after the Path's survivors, it made no sense that they had to break off their chase as Vader wanted to go at it alone and they could easily send out Tie Fighters (yeesh, they don't have the fuel to send out Tie Fighters???) to chase down the transport or use the fighters to chase down the drop ship (which they could've used to allow some of the refugees to escape... the bloody thing had a working hyperdrive?!? --eyerolling duh???)
Yes, but we aren't aging the same as people from a generation or two ago. All the tobacco and poor diets. No joke. Not too long ago I was watching a Johnny Carson interview and he was comparing ages with his guest. I was thinking they both look to be about 65. They were 50 or thereabouts. Guinness in New Hope looks like a modern day 70-75.
I know many people didn't like the first episodes but they needed the build-up for the AWESOME payoffs of episodes 5 and 6. The only weak point of the series is the music IMO, if we had Jhon Williams with new music it would have been an awesome series all along. Music plays a lot in our emotions. I think Disney's disuse of brass and timpani for the new stuff's music is hurting due to the comparison of the original stuff. I think the reason they only used the Imperial march at the end was that until that point Obi-Wan was facing Anader, a transition between the hero and the villain, the dying throes of the man he was. The broken mask shows that divide. Once he's back he is fully Vader and that's why they couldn't use the Imperial march before since he finally literally buried his past in this last duel. Btw I think both the Reeva/Vader duel and the Obi-wan/Vader duel of this episode are probably the best duels of all Star Wars, they would have been even greater with a more iconic theme to improve them. I think I just love how they treated Vader's fighting style in this, it feels brutal, visceral, and efficient. It shows all the terror that was Vader during his hunt against the Jedi and I can totally see him murdering all these ballet dancers.
Fantastic finally to this limited series. My only issue with this episode was they kept cutting Obi-Wan and Death Vader with Rayva hunting Luke to finish her job to Damage Vader. Overall I agree with alot of people Rayva is not a great character thanks to her writing. The actress did her best. Also I wish the editing for each storyline for this show moment for each ark was down better. But omg seeing Lim bought tears to my eyes.
So, what am I missing? Does Luke just have selective memory later on, conveniently forgetting about being attacked with a lightsaber, and meeting Kenobi??
Don't forget that when Obi Wan is saying goodbye to Leia he tells her that they have to pretend like they don't know each other - which totally explains why in Ep.4 Leia refers to him as "general kenobi" and says that "years ago you served with my father in the clone wars" as opposed to "Hey remember me? that girl you helped all those years ago when we were running from the inquisitors with those escaped jedi?" Smart move to make sure everything stays canon in the original trilogy.
The close relationship of Leia and Ben in this series also explains why (in Ep4 after watching the message) Ben immediately turns to Luke and says "well... you're gonna have to save her so we need to go. Get your shit. "
If you go back to Return of the Jedi when Vader is unmasked by Luke doesn't he have a large gash wound to the side of his head that would be explained now by Obi Wan slicing up his helmet in the same location?
He does...though I've seem some comments say the scarring is there in the episode 2 and 3 scenes of Vader in his bacta tank, just hard to see. I think Kenobi created the scar when he chopped open the helmet. Anything already there was a smaller injury from Mustafar.
Is it just me, or when they pull back on Vader in Mustafar for the last time, doesn't it look like when Vader's helmet was lowered onto his head, what with the red bars and the dark focus at the center?
I don't get Reva's motivation. After she is tossed aside by Vader and the Grand Inquisitor, what reason does she have to go hunt down this random boy she heard about in a vague message?
It really feels like the whole series was just killing time and checking off story points so it could get to that final duel...and I'm perfectly fine with that. It was everything it should have been and more and I loved it so freaking much. The mixing of voices and the lighting was incredible. I think Hayden managed to get the redemption he was after as well because without his subtle rage telling Obi Wan that he killed Anakin you can mess around with the voices all the live long day, it will never work without a solid performance. Just look at the "birth" of Vader at the end of Revenge of The Sith. When he stumbles out like Frankenstein's monster and says the "NNNNOOOOOOOO!!" heard around the world it was also laughed at around the world. Everyone who has seen his other work (I'm never going to stop suggesting people watch Shattered Glass for what was my favourite Hayden Christensen performance till now) knew he could do it and I'm happy for him that he had the chance. I was just thinking even when he showed up to kill the younglings his physical performance even in that small moment was much better. In 'Revenge' he was more like a pouting teenager. You could really see the determination and darkness on his face but, again, it was subtle. Well done everyone. You somehow gave us exactly what we wanted and what the show needed as it stuck the landing.
I know some people had their problems with this show, but I didn't. I loved it, and I wasn't a fan of the Prequels either. After playing through Jedi Fallen Order; twice, and seeing how both Cal and Cere where cut off from the force, I completely understand why Obi-wan had so many problems. With the trauma of his past; the forced exile from the Force, and the fears of what may happen in the future, Obi-wan was truly cut off from everything. Obi-wan wasn't strong enough to face Vader yet, and Vader knew it. He was merely toying with is old master. So Obi-wan getting away that first time; merely fueled Vader's anger even more. Reconnecting to the Force isn't an easy thing; because Obi-wan had a lot of feelings he needed to deal with Feeling with were not of the Light Side, and therefore; kept him cut off from the Force. That moment under the rocks; when he thinks back on Luke and Leah, he is at peace. Only with your eyes close; can you truly see The Way, and Obi-wan found the way back to the Force. And when Vader claimed; it was He Who Killed Anakin, could Obi-wan find true peace with the past. No longer blinded by the past; no longer worried about the future, Obi-wan was only mindful of the Living Force, could he see his old Master waiting for him. It was at this point; I cried. Plus; not only did Obi-wan say the thing, but Ewan McGregor sounded the most like Sir Alec Guinness, then he ever did in the past. Like I said; I ever never a big fan of Episodes 1 -3, but casting Ewan McGregor as Obi-wan Kenobi was the best thing
So refreshing to see somebody praise it without also saying how much better they could have done it. Thank you. Kinda getting tired of all the armchair screenwriters and directors... Star Wars fans just can't help themselves.
It's pretty pathetic how young Leia just blows by Obi-Wan, totally ignoring him to run to her stupid drone robot, Lola! Never mind that the man flew across the galaxy, risking his life to save her little ass (several times I might add) only to have her not say so much as say "Hello there" to him. No greeting. No hug. Nothing. But he brought back her dumb, little floating robot by God!
They also had him call Anakin "Darth" for the first time, which is exclusively how he refers to him in their fight on the Death Star. It gives that whole interaction more weight rather than Obi-wan oddly referring to Vader by what is essentially a rank when they had all that history.
@@austinfretz2749 which is a callback to the scene in Empire. The masks are 100% broken the same way. Whether they meant to narratively tie that Rebels fight to Empire or just visually, it definitely mirrors Luke’s face in that helmet in Empire.
Luke didn't fight Vader on Degobah. He fought himself in a force trial. Vader was chillin' on the cloud city. Also, Luke decapitated the vision... and the severed head rolled to the ground and the face shield kind of vaporized so Luke could see his own face. So, no. Not really a call back to that at all.
He knows who Ben Kenobi is In A New Hope, he definitely has a familiarity with the old hermit, even being able to recognize him when Ben saves him and R2 They may not have met frequently, but Luke definitely knew him in A New Hope, which still tracks with what we see here and what we’ve seen in the comics as well!
Everyone's going on about the duel, and it WAS good don't get me wrong, but as pointed out in the video the half-helmet reveal had already been done with Ahsoka in Rebels... so I was like: "Oh, it's this again'. Also after dragging him through flames in episode 03 because he wanted to make him suffer, Darth was ok just to leave him buried and walk away? That didn't seem like a rage-fuelled nightmare of vengeance to me. As did the following conversation with the Emperor... DV: "I will hunt him down and destroy him, nothing will stop me" Palps: "Stop that" DV: "lol, ok u right" Also is anyone else annoyed that the Alderaan lot didn't at least offer Obi-wan a cup of tea? Or a snack? He flew all that way just to drop off a toy droid and get right back on his ship??
The first 5 had bad acting, and to much silliness. But this last one definitely makes up for it. It's almost like they make the last one first with there Varsity team then hand the rest of it off to there made for tv crew.
I might be part of a small minority but the close up wobbly shaky cam during all the fight scenes drove me crazy. Made the show look like a fan film whenever that happened. Also, another pet peeve was the lightsabers looking kinda cheap. I could tell they were just led sticks with a little cgi gloss versus the sequel trilogy lightsabers(still hate the sequel trilogy)
I did not notice any wobbly camera work and the light sabers looked fine. Maybe you need a new TV, or maybe you just need to chill the F out and try to enjoy something for once. Christ, Star Wars fans just cannot stop themselves from talking about how much better they would have done it.
I'm just cuious if Obi wan meeting luke at the end there broke cannon. Although probably not. But man was this show awesome. Please don't do a second season. Leave the past and focus on characters and eras not yet explored. What do we need to see that is so important? How obi wan built a house and filled it with junk. Really is that neccessary.
How can the writer shit on continuity so much?? Qui-gon can't be a physical ghost because he never complead his training. Aka he was stuck as voice only appart from when he was on Mortis. Also he already made contact with Qui Gon in the Ahsoka book (set 1 year after ROTS), and that was don't through deep meditation in the force. Disney thinks Ghosta just pop out of anywhere.
Qui Gon LITERALLY invented that force skill... if his conciousness existed at all after death, you don't think he'd continue to perfect the skill of manifesting himself? You realize it's not an actual body that appears, right, just a manifestation - how is that different from a voice? But we get it, you think you know more about canon than the writers... who are actually creating canon. LOL
@@backpacker3421 The writer admitted to not knowing all of Star wars so much so he didn't even know Ben already knew Anakin was Vader (he knew in epsido 3) Qui-gon didnt "invent the skill"?? clearly your the one who doesn't understand cannon. Go watch clone wars where Qui-gon says it himself to Yoda lol. But buy your brain fucked logic I suppose you just think Qui-gon just didn't want to see Luke or reunite with the Chosen one that he cared so much to die for at the end of episode 6?? You must be American.
@@TheDragonaf1 It "overwrites" the earlier material, sure... but only in the sense that Qui-Gon continued to deepen his understanding of spiritual manifestation through the Force, after those earlier episodes.
Entire series rating= D+ Terrible writing. When Vader let obi wan escape from the fire, I checked out. Why would obi wan not kill Vader (I know that he can't because of the already established story) when he's clearly capable of doing so. Hes fine with Vader continuing to wreak havoc in the galaxy? Terrible writing.
Wow, you must be an amazing screenwriter. How many series have you written? Any movies? Seriously, let me know so I can check them out, because if you can do so much better than this, I really want to watch them.
Killing Vader achieves nothing. Palpatine would just replace him like he's replaced so many others before. Hell that ending scene alone tells you that Palps is just one wrong word away from sweeping Vader under the rug. Obi-Wan would know this considering he had to fight Palpatine's various apprentices throughout the Prequels. Stick with the enemy you know, the next one might not be so nice.
@@Pokemonashgreen2 As a HUGE Star Wars fan who was VERY excited for this series I couldn’t be more disappointed with what it delivered. While the actors were well cast, specifically Princess Leia, the writing, editing, directing, and effects made them not matter. At EVERY turn this series will leave you asking yourself questions like... WHY? HOW? HUH? WHEN? WAIT WHAT? EH? SURE... BUT WHY? And SERIOUSLY? That said, best parts of this series are the lightsaber fights. They are by far the best in ANY Star Wars entry to date. They are exciting, new, unique, and thrilling. Beyond that nothing makes sense. The dialogue is LAUGHABLY terrible at EVERY possible turn. The CGI especially that of the space ships in the series were easily the WORST since The Phantom Menace. Almost every character story arc was nonsensical and unfulfilling. Somehow this story was left hanging on a character who survives a lightsaber to gut NOT ONCE BUT TWICE with no understanding of her choices, actions, reasoning, or existence. Strangely this exact same deathblow took out Quigon and yet seemingly lightsaber immunity is now a thing for no reason. MANY of almost EVERY characters choices were oddly illogical and baffling. I’m left with the image of Princess Leia VERY BADLY pretending to comb her ALREADY DONE HAIR confused as to how they allowed this show to be made without Jon Favreau at least overseeing things as an executive producer. I’m certain he would have caught MANY of the issues and is more than likely both very grateful and disappointed that his name wasn’t attached to this series.
@@Pokemonashgreen2 Vader letting obi wan escape multiple times Obi wan letting Vader wreak havoc across the galaxy instead of killing him. Just terrible writing across the whole series. Great acting, pretty good cinematography, just terrible writing.
Blending Hayden and James' vocals during the broken helmet scene was perfectly done
Apart from the immediate accent change as soon as the helmet was broken. Unless accent modulators are canon
Was it, though?
It was ok. We'd seen that in Rebels long ago.
Alec Guinness was 63 in “A New Hope”, Ewan McGregor is 51 in “Obi-Wan Kenobi” (10 years before ANH). So the age matches up pretty closely
But they look nothing like 10 years apart. It's a generational thing. Poor diets and tons of smoking in post WW-II era. We're not living longer these days, but we are staying healthier and looking better much later in life.. in general.

@@HeatherFlett really?? How would that even be physically possible?

Age wise Ewan MacGregor is 51 Alec Guinness was 63 when he was in Star Wars, a decade later movie time so ages kinda match up
Right! Although you are even more correct than you thought, because the original film was shot in 1976, meaning Guiness was 62 during production.
Yes, but we aren't aging the same as people from a generation or two ago. All the tobacco and poor diets. No joke. Not too long ago I was watching a Johnny Carson interview and he was comparing ages with his guest. I was thinking they both look to be about 65. They were 50 or thereabouts.

Don't forget that when Obi Wan is saying goodbye to Leia he tells her that they have to pretend like they don't know each other - which totally explains why in Ep.4 Leia refers to him as "general kenobi" and says that "years ago you served with my father in the clone wars" as opposed to "Hey remember me? that girl you helped all those years ago when we were running from the inquisitors with those escaped jedi?" Smart move to make sure everything stays canon in the original trilogy.
The close relationship of Leia and Ben in this series also explains why (in Ep4 after watching the message) Ben immediately turns to Luke and says "well... you're gonna have to save her so we need to go. Get your shit. "
I'd love to see a Reva spinoff.
Overall I enjoyed the whole series especially episode 6, really cool!!!!
If you go back to Return of the Jedi when Vader is unmasked by Luke doesn't he have a large gash wound to the side of his head that would be explained now by Obi Wan slicing up his helmet in the same location?
He does...though I've seem some comments say the scarring is there in the episode 2 and 3 scenes of Vader in his bacta tank, just hard to see.
I think Kenobi created the scar when he chopped open the helmet. Anything already there was a smaller injury from Mustafar.
So no one's talking about the fact that we got to know why Uncle Owen had such problem with his knee? It was a fun easteregg i thought.
😄 Fantastic eggs.
Who is Owen related too? Schmii? Or who?
Hello there
Is it just me, or when they pull back on Vader in Mustafar for the last time, doesn't it look like when Vader's helmet was lowered onto his head, what with the red bars and the dark focus at the center?
ngl, this reminds me while I read the comics, and I love it.
It was very sad seeing Anakin like that...
Quin-Watch 😢😢😢😢
I don't get Reva's motivation. After she is tossed aside by Vader and the Grand Inquisitor, what reason does she have to go hunt down this random boy she heard about in a vague message?
It really feels like the whole series was just killing time and checking off story points so it could get to that final duel...and I'm perfectly fine with that. It was everything it should have been and more and I loved it so freaking much. The mixing of voices and the lighting was incredible. I think Hayden managed to get the redemption he was after as well because without his subtle rage telling Obi Wan that he killed Anakin you can mess around with the voices all the live long day, it will never work without a solid performance. Just look at the "birth" of Vader at the end of Revenge of The Sith. When he stumbles out like Frankenstein's monster and says the "NNNNOOOOOOOO!!" heard around the world it was also laughed at around the world. Everyone who has seen his other work (I'm never going to stop suggesting people watch Shattered Glass for what was my favourite Hayden Christensen performance till now) knew he could do it and I'm happy for him that he had the chance. I was just thinking even when he showed up to kill the younglings his physical performance even in that small moment was much better. In 'Revenge' he was more like a pouting teenager. You could really see the determination and darkness on his face but, again, it was subtle. Well done everyone. You somehow gave us exactly what we wanted and what the show needed as it stuck the landing.
I know some people had their problems with this show, but I didn't. I loved it, and I wasn't a fan of the Prequels either.
After playing through Jedi Fallen Order; twice, and seeing how both Cal and Cere where cut off from the force, I completely understand why Obi-wan had so many problems. With the trauma of his past; the forced exile from the Force, and the fears of what may happen in the future, Obi-wan was truly cut off from everything. Obi-wan wasn't strong enough to face Vader yet, and Vader knew it. He was merely toying with is old master. So Obi-wan getting away that first time; merely fueled Vader's anger even more.
Reconnecting to the Force isn't an easy thing; because Obi-wan had a lot of feelings he needed to deal with Feeling with were not of the Light Side, and therefore; kept him cut off from the Force. That moment under the rocks; when he thinks back on Luke and Leah, he is at peace. Only with your eyes close; can you truly see The Way, and Obi-wan found the way back to the Force. And when Vader claimed; it was He Who Killed Anakin, could Obi-wan find true peace with the past. No longer blinded by the past; no longer worried about the future, Obi-wan was only mindful of the Living Force, could he see his old Master waiting for him. It was at this point; I cried. Plus; not only did Obi-wan say the thing, but Ewan McGregor sounded the most like Sir Alec Guinness, then he ever did in the past.
Like I said; I ever never a big fan of Episodes 1 -3, but casting Ewan McGregor as Obi-wan Kenobi was the best thing
It's not far fetched for obi-wan to age that fast in the tattooine suns! Have you seen the sun aging truckers get!!!😳😬
Great finale
So refreshing to see somebody praise it without also saying how much better they could have done it. Thank you.
Kinda getting tired of all the armchair screenwriters and directors... Star Wars fans just can't help themselves.
@@backpacker3421 thank you :)
They actually fixed some decades old plot holes with this one episode.
I like how you all don’t do “your mom” jokes or constantly complain about Rise of Skywalker in your videos
Lightsabers … Tattooine’s number one crop = replacement commodity for Boba Fett’s criminal empire.l
It's pretty pathetic how young Leia just blows by Obi-Wan, totally ignoring him to run to her stupid drone robot, Lola! Never mind that the man flew across the galaxy, risking his life to save her little ass (several times I might add) only to have her not say so much as say "Hello there" to him. No greeting. No hug. Nothing. But he brought back her dumb, little floating robot by God!
Goodbye Darth…
Leia & Lola show is everything D23 has been waiting for...
They also had him call Anakin "Darth" for the first time, which is exclusively how he refers to him in their fight on the Death Star. It gives that whole interaction more weight rather than Obi-wan oddly referring to Vader by what is essentially a rank when they had all that history.
Vader’s broken helmet is definitely a callback to Luke’s fight with Vader on Dagobah in Empire.
No it's definitely a call back to his fight with ahsoka
@@austinfretz2749 which is a callback to the scene in Empire. The masks are 100% broken the same way. Whether they meant to narratively tie that Rebels fight to Empire or just visually, it definitely mirrors Luke’s face in that helmet in Empire.
@@zEroandahEro wrong
Luke didn't fight Vader on Degobah. He fought himself in a force trial. Vader was chillin' on the cloud city.
Also, Luke decapitated the vision... and the severed head rolled to the ground and the face shield kind of vaporized so Luke could see his own face.
So, no. Not really a call back to that at all.
Just sayin', I think they had room on that other ship with working hyperdrive to pack all those passengers like sardines and jump out of danger ;-)
Straight out of Tatooine
Would of been cool if they was going to do a secend season with reva teaming up with obi won
Dual wielding those Keanu references.... zero to Joan Wick in 60 seconds...
Impressive... (best James Earl Jones impression voice)
How does Luke not remember who gave him the ship toy?
He knows who Ben Kenobi is
In A New Hope, he definitely has a familiarity with the old hermit, even being able to recognize him when Ben saves him and R2
They may not have met frequently, but Luke definitely knew him in A New Hope, which still tracks with what we see here and what we’ve seen in the comics as well!
Who's to say he doesn't?
Really? He meets him once. Can you remember every single person you met when you were 10? LOL
Reva saved Grogu...you heard it here first. She will show up in the Mandalorian...you heard that here too.
"Abstromech" *eyes narrow*
Everyone's going on about the duel, and it WAS good don't get me wrong, but as pointed out in the video the half-helmet reveal had already been done with Ahsoka in Rebels... so I was like: "Oh, it's this again'. Also after dragging him through flames in episode 03 because he wanted to make him suffer, Darth was ok just to leave him buried and walk away? That didn't seem like a rage-fuelled nightmare of vengeance to me. As did the following conversation with the Emperor...
DV: "I will hunt him down and destroy him, nothing will stop me"
Palps: "Stop that"
DV: "lol, ok u right"
Also is anyone else annoyed that the Alderaan lot didn't at least offer Obi-wan a cup of tea? Or a snack? He flew all that way just to drop off a toy droid and get right back on his ship??
It John wick
The first 5 had bad acting, and to much silliness. But this last one definitely makes up for it. It's almost like they make the last one first with there Varsity team then hand the rest of it off to there made for tv crew.
I might be part of a small minority but the close up wobbly shaky cam during all the fight scenes drove me crazy. Made the show look like a fan film whenever that happened. Also, another pet peeve was the lightsabers looking kinda cheap. I could tell they were just led sticks with a little cgi gloss versus the sequel trilogy lightsabers(still hate the sequel trilogy)
Congratulations! You hate everything
Very amateur!
I did not notice any wobbly camera work and the light sabers looked fine. Maybe you need a new TV, or maybe you just need to chill the F out and try to enjoy something for once. Christ, Star Wars fans just cannot stop themselves from talking about how much better they would have done it.
How about some Easter eggs and not just a recap… you think we haven’t already watched it at least twice….
They should of skipped this and just made the show we all deserve, “Vader”.
eh, still could. Remember, we have 10 years between Ep 3 and Obi-Wan to fill in the blanks for.
Wow, lots of armchair screenwriters in these comments talking about how much better they would have done it. LOL. Some of them can't even spell.
how does Qui Gonn have a body presence? he should be a floating ball
Sith kebab! :-D
Obi-Wan’s costume isn’t straight out of the comics, but rather straight out of Sideshow’s Mythos figures.
Or both, as it resembles both of them but also isn’t exactly like either of them as well
Felt like they plagiarized the obi vader fight from Avatar tla.....
I'm just cuious if Obi wan meeting luke at the end there broke cannon. Although probably not. But man was this show awesome. Please don't do a second season. Leave the past and focus on characters and eras not yet explored. What do we need to see that is so important? How obi wan built a house and filled it with junk. Really is that neccessary.
The show was a huge let down overall. Like most of Disney star wars.
the worst script and direction of all disney series. for god sake.
How can the writer shit on continuity so much?? Qui-gon can't be a physical ghost because he never complead his training. Aka he was stuck as voice only appart from when he was on Mortis.
Also he already made contact with Qui Gon in the Ahsoka book (set 1 year after ROTS), and that was don't through deep meditation in the force. Disney thinks Ghosta just pop out of anywhere.
Because there are degrees of canon. Filmed canon takes precedence over literary canon.
Qui Gon LITERALLY invented that force skill... if his conciousness existed at all after death, you don't think he'd continue to perfect the skill of manifesting himself? You realize it's not an actual body that appears, right, just a manifestation - how is that different from a voice?
But we get it, you think you know more about canon than the writers... who are actually creating canon. LOL
@@noahhenson1669 Suppose. But this overwrites Dave F episodes on the topic of force ghosts in the Clone wars and training of the Wills to Yoda.
@@backpacker3421 The writer admitted to not knowing all of Star wars so much so he didn't even know Ben already knew Anakin was Vader (he knew in epsido 3)
Qui-gon didnt "invent the skill"?? clearly your the one who doesn't understand cannon. Go watch clone wars where Qui-gon says it himself to Yoda lol.
But buy your brain fucked logic I suppose you just think Qui-gon just didn't want to see Luke or reunite with the Chosen one that he cared so much to die for at the end of episode 6?? You must be American.
@@TheDragonaf1 It "overwrites" the earlier material, sure... but only in the sense that Qui-Gon continued to deepen his understanding of spiritual manifestation through the Force, after those earlier episodes.
Entire series rating= D+
Terrible writing. When Vader let obi wan escape from the fire, I checked out.
Why would obi wan not kill Vader (I know that he can't because of the already established story) when he's clearly capable of doing so. Hes fine with Vader continuing to wreak havoc in the galaxy?
Terrible writing.
Wow, you must be an amazing screenwriter. How many series have you written? Any movies? Seriously, let me know so I can check them out, because if you can do so much better than this, I really want to watch them.
Killing Vader achieves nothing. Palpatine would just replace him like he's replaced so many others before. Hell that ending scene alone tells you that Palps is just one wrong word away from sweeping Vader under the rug.
Obi-Wan would know this considering he had to fight Palpatine's various apprentices throughout the Prequels. Stick with the enemy you know, the next one might not be so nice.
This show was terrible.
This show was horrible and Jon Favreau not being a part of it was painfully obvious.
What didn't you like about it?
@@Pokemonashgreen2 My only issue was that no one was supposed to know Luke was related
@@jessmith7324 They could have done without that storyline.
@@Pokemonashgreen2 As a HUGE Star Wars fan who was VERY excited for this series I couldn’t be more disappointed with what it delivered. While the actors were well cast, specifically Princess Leia, the writing, editing, directing, and effects made them not matter. At EVERY turn this series will leave you asking yourself questions like... WHY? HOW? HUH? WHEN? WAIT WHAT? EH? SURE... BUT WHY? And SERIOUSLY? That said, best parts of this series are the lightsaber fights. They are by far the best in ANY Star Wars entry to date. They are exciting, new, unique, and thrilling. Beyond that nothing makes sense. The dialogue is LAUGHABLY terrible at EVERY possible turn. The CGI especially that of the space ships in the series were easily the WORST since The Phantom Menace. Almost every character story arc was nonsensical and unfulfilling. Somehow this story was left hanging on a character who survives a lightsaber to gut NOT ONCE BUT TWICE with no understanding of her choices, actions, reasoning, or existence. Strangely this exact same deathblow took out Quigon and yet seemingly lightsaber immunity is now a thing for no reason. MANY of almost EVERY characters choices were oddly illogical and baffling. I’m left with the image of Princess Leia VERY BADLY pretending to comb her ALREADY DONE HAIR confused as to how they allowed this show to be made without Jon Favreau at least overseeing things as an executive producer. I’m certain he would have caught MANY of the issues and is more than likely both very grateful and disappointed that his name wasn’t attached to this series.
@@Pokemonashgreen2 Vader letting obi wan escape multiple times
Obi wan letting Vader wreak havoc across the galaxy instead of killing him.
Just terrible writing across the whole series. Great acting, pretty good cinematography, just terrible writing.
