Fanclub Obi-Wan Kenobi: v4 Fan Club a/k/a Appreciation Society

I think it's probably a bandwidth problem on the hosting site.

 

HI all!!

Val, yes he was questioning the actions of the order...I guess the way I saw your question was that in Betrayal, despite
his misgivings about what the order was doing, he stayed faithful to the code (rather than perhaps listening and following the force)...following it more than the will of the force for a long time until his eyes were opened, but then by that time, he was so hurt and disillusioned he seemed to lose his way for awhile. I guess that doesn't answer the question per se, or else I'm having trouble stating the way I see it.

Anyway, if anyone who hasn't read it wants to read a FANTASTIC story, check out Betrayal, on both boards - may be easier to find on the other board though - by Archaeologist over there, called Betrayal. 10 years (or so) in the writing of it and she finally just finished it last year.

 

Love the pic, Todd. What are they looking at? Gosh, Obi-Wan is so sexy standing there like that...btw, was Anakin in that pic?

 

If you guys want to get in on a good laugh, go to the Prequel, Classic and Saga boards and look for the ongoing posts between Lord Tyrannus, Wierd Green Man and myself, and occasionally Piett's Hat. We don't know if Tyrannus is a spoof, a jokester, or what but we're, um, having fun with his endless questions.

 

I'm practicing my SIthly skills of wordplay deception.

 

Anyone see the preview for this Saturday's ep? There's some yummy Obi-ness!

 

Ooh, James Arnold Taylor's voice sounds particularly good in that clip.

 

Oh, they've improved animated Obi-Wan so much - he looks so much more like Ewan and not so much like a cardboard cutout..and his movements are more fluid too. I might just have to check that out,.

 

I know! The animation this season has been wonderful. I think that Obi's facial expressions - heck, everyone's! - are more detailed and nuanced. It's lovely to watch.

 

I think Hondo Ohnaka could steal my heart away if he weren't so darn ugly. What a hoot! I'm glad he's being given more time this season, esp the byplay with Obi-Wan. Some of it is priceless.

 

The clip was so good! Perfect Obi-Wan-ness in it. I love the way that Obi-Wan and Anakin are able to balance each other.

 

I love me some Hondo. I really love Obi-Wan and Hondo together (darn, my fingers insist on typing Honda). I'm thinking of writing a post-Revival short in Hondo's POV as Ruth knows. She also knows I'm not writing at all and enjoying (as a beta) sneak peeks at what she's got in store for you. You folks are going to LOVE what's coming. 'Course, you have loved what came before, too.

 

(no pressure there, sheesh)
Hondo's open admiration for Obi-Wan makes him rise a cut above ordinary pirate, in my estimation. The ability to recognize worth in others despite your own scuminess is a testament to something deep inside. He hearkens forward intime to the lovable scoundrel Han Solo, a little. Especially if he's given a role "helping" the Republic's cause in the upcoming CW episode, he ends up as a VERY sympathetic villain. I think his natural roguish charm does play off very well against Obi-Wan's dry and cutting charm. It's like wine and chocolate, how can you beat that? Hats off to whomever created the character. I'd persoanlly love to see a full length novel with Ohnaka and our favorite Jedi in it. Or a good re-write of the original Ohnaka arc. But Val, I'll happily gobble up your short !!

 

Did this one come through??

 

Well, maybe the short will inspire a longer. Or we can team up for the novel - sometime in the future, though.

 

Hondo is one of the best things that have come out of TCW (so far) - he and Obi-Wan are simply amazing together.

One word: Sweet!!!

 

James Arnold Taylor is awesome as Obi-Wan. He's come from being a poor man's substitute and imitator of Ewan McGregor in the micro-series and video games to making Obi-Wan his own character in the new Clone Wars series, while still retaining traits from McGregor and the late Alec Guinness. Definitely one of his best voice-over roles and performances, in my opinion.

 

So, Obi would be the chocolate and Hondo would be the wine?

 

What episode is this Hondo in? I'll have to check it out.

Getting ready for work, and no time really to hang out. I HAD Saturday off finally, but that's been changed again. I'm working six hours tomorrow. I'll have a little time in the morning, but will probably mainly be trying to polish up my next chapter before sending it to Val for beta, but I'll be here also some.

Later! Everyone have a great day, and Val, find that Job!! (I know, easier said than done sometimes, but all things are possible!)

I would love to see you and Ruth collaborate on a story sometime - that would be awesome. Two of FF's best authors ...

 

We'll celebrate your new job- when you get it - with that. A worthy project to mark a worthy cause.
Fie on working weekends! I teach, so mine are generally spent buried in prep work. There's no escape from the curse, I tell you.
