Full Series Anakin & OB1

In ANH, OB1 said that Anakin was a very good friend. Personally, I don't think that their relationship was shown this way in the movies. Looked more adversarial in the movies. But in the show, they look closer. More like brothers as OB1 claimed in RotS or ANH.

What do u think? Do you think their relationship is better portrayed in the show or the movies?

 

I definitely think their relationship in TCW works as a better precursor to Ep. III than their relationship in Ep. II. Only the bastard Hayden Christensen pronounces it O-B-1!

 

I don't think it's needed, but I guess it helps show them as friends more, even if they're not exactly in character. As usual, I think the micro-series nailed it better than TCW.

???

 

Both the microseries and TCW depicted their relationship ALOT better than the prequel trilogy.

 

He pronounces it "Obi-Wun" or "Obi-One" almost all the time. Everyone else says Obi-Wan" with an "ah" vowel in the "Wan." Christensen puts an "uh" there. Hence OB1.

 

Am I sick or does this sound like a shipping topic?

This topic is irrelevant. What are we supposed to discuss? Anakin and Obi-wan are friends......or are they MORE than that!

 

I agree, and especially the "brother" relationship they had in the micro series.

 

Except for old Obi-Wan, who calls himself 'Obi-Wen'.

 

You mean Alec Guinness? When does he say it like that?

 

What the PT did well (Adversarial? Eh... it's complex) TCW does a lot better.

 

How awful.

 

Not as awful as his acting, but yeah, the pronunciation was pretty bad.

 

I think their relationship was portrayed the best in the first 30 or so minutes of RotS; they have great banter, they work in sync, it's really just a great feel of how close the war has allowed them to grow to each other. There's also a few scenes later on such as Obi-Wan defending Anakin against Mace and Yoda (a reversal from AotC), their walk in the Jedi Temple where Obi-Wan sadly tells Anakin that the 'Council' is asking him to spy on the Chancellor and not him, and that he's on Anakin's side, and their last scene together before Obi-Wan leaves. But that's pretty much it for the movies.

My favorite EU depictions of them come from the pre-RotS novels such as LoE and RotS novelization. There's something about their relationship on this show and in this universe that does not feel quite right. Perhaps Obi-Wan feels off to me, perhaps it's the addition of Ahsoka that throws off their dynamic idk. IA that the microseries did it better.

 

Funny you should say that, I kind of look at the opening 25 minutes of Ep. III to be an "episode" in the Clone Wars, if you will. The final episode really, although hopefully TCW will do some stuff concurrent to the film.

Around 3:40

 

Sounds like an "ah" to me. Still, an "eh" would be closer and less annoying than an "uh."

 

He totally says 'Obi-W(h)en', I've been noticing that all my life.

 

Yep, he does say "Obi-When". And Jan Jodonna refers to Leia as "Leeah".
But hey, let's get back to bashing Hayden Christensen.

 

He deserves it.

 

Matt Lanter makes Hayden look Oscar worthy...heck he makes Mat Lucas stellar!!! The guy is a flatline- I suppouse that their relationship was one of the few things that made the show enjoyable despite the atrocities committed with Anakin and to a lesser extent Obi but when the show begun "dumming" OW in order to emphize Anakin's cool factor like in the Slaves arc, (the last straw for me in regards to the show, haven't watched it since) it lost the little charm it brought to the show for me. I feel that while the show does a fair job portraying the lighthearted aspect of their relationship, it lacks the underliyng tencion due to unresolved issues that at least to me is cristal clear in ROTS....Obi & Anakin loved eachother but they never really completely understood one another; something I believe the Micro Series was far more successful in showing inspite its limitations.

 

Such venom, Lady_Skywalker87. I suggest you let go of your hate and start catching up on some TCW episodes.

 

Not venom rumble... just honesty. As for catching up; not happening any time soon as it s bad for my well being. Why watch something that I cannot longer enjoy?

 

Well, if you go in expecting not to enjoy it, then your expectations will likely bear out. You need to have an open mind and not go in with pre-conceived notions about what the episode should or should not be.
