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

Here is too a FANTASTIC 2014 for everyone!!!!

It's not started well for me this year... Consequently right before Xmas my uncle was diagnosed with kidney cancer and its already spread... so that dampened the holiday season, and today my nan phoned to tell us that her husband, my granddad, has said that he thinks he is on the way out... Apparently his lungs are full of fluid and you can hear it when he breathes... So yeah a good start to 2014 for me...

I just hope that there is some good Obi-Wan/Ewan goodness coming this year...

 

Happy New Year everybody!

Really sad to hear that, hlc88. Hope that you'll feel better.

 

Sorry to hear that, hic88. I hope things get better for you.

Thanks, Val! And the same to you and everyone!

So I went into work yesterday. We have large screen TVs in the main floor, mostly to monitor activity for our business, but on weekend they will have regular TV on, usually sports, and later they were playing the play offs, but when I first went in, "Attack of the Clones" was on the large screen. I had to get upstairs, but I just had to stop and ogle a moment at wet Obi-Wan before I did so.

I mentioned the movie to a co-worker and how I just had to stop and look at Obi for a moment, and he said, "Yeah, we were just talking about how awesome Obi-Wan was in those movies. How McGregor did such a geat job with him, and that Obi-Wan is probably the greatest Jedi who ever lived."

It was gratifying hearing such high praise, and from a guy too, outside of this forum. It's nice we're not the only ones to appreciate what Ewan brought to the role and what Obi-Wan means to the whole series.

 

He is also in agreement that the first movie should have been more about the relationship between Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon and less about Anakin. To him, the first movie was mostly a waste.

WE talked about how if they had centered on their relationship, then when Anakin did finally make it into the movie (much later than originally), the impact of Qui-Gon choosing Anakin over Obi-Wan, even though to good intentions, but still hurtful to Obi-Wan, would have had a much deeper emotional impact. As it was, we really didn't get the feel of their relationship to care that much originally. It wasn't until I read teh JA books that I felt more of the impact of Qui-Gon's choices.

Michael agreed totally. And this is besides the other guy at work who is a big fan of Ewan McGregor.

 

Personally, I think the PT's hero and main character is but should've been even more than what we were given, Obi-Wan. Given the circumstances I think Ewan did great.

 

Greetings...My first post in the Fanclub.

Has anyone heard any news regarding the potential for one of the forthcoming spin-off films of revolving around Obi-Wan?

 

Welcome!

I haven't heard anything official, but Ewan has expressed interest in playing Obi-Wan again, and several of us would love to see the new Kenobi book made into a stand alone movie.

Hopefully Disney will find some way to bring Ewan back a Obi-Wan.

 

That is great to hear that Ewan is interested. His Ob-Wan is very dear to me. I just started the audio book version of Kenobi this morning.

I wonder as well if we may see an animated version of Obi-Wan in the Rebels TV series coming out next fall?

 

Yeah...animated Obi-Wan is fine, but it isn't Ewan...

He definitely wants to play Obi-Wan again (and I couldn't imagine anyone else doing it), but I also know he doesn't want to be typecast in it. But there is no fear of that...he has branched himself out enough in movies, it's really not likely.

I just know if they have thoughts of doing a Obi-Wan movie with anyone but Ewan...they shouldn't bother, in my opinion.

If you didn't already figure it out, my avatar from the Island is actually representative of Obi-Wan and Siri here. There are several videos of clips from "The Island" being merged with clip from SW to make an Obi-Wan/Siri video. Good stuff there.

 

I was curious if there's any good strong stories that focus on Obi? Please don't rec the JA series. I really don't care for how Qui is painted in it.

 

in FF, Ruth Baulding has written an aweseme rewrite of the JA series, she is very very talented...her stories are better then the JA series. More adult themes, darker and also at times funny. She has Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon's relationship down to perfection..and they are extremely fun to read.

They're written in a series..the first series is called Lineage, and there are 11 books, and she just started a sequel series call Legacy. The first book is up and she is working on the second book now.

I can't begin to say how good these stories are...they are every bit as good, and in many cases better than published stories.

You can find them on FF.net...https://www.fanfiction.net/u/3380015/ruth-baulding.

She has written lots of Obi-Wan stories, check them out. Growing Pains are a series of short chapters that take place in between many of the events of Lineage, etc.

 

Thanks, ObiMom. I bookmarked and glanced at the first one of the series. She does seem very talented and my kind of writer so far regarding detail and such.

 

No problem...she's a regular on here too.

Hey, ruth baulding !


Any way I forgot to mention, there's lot of angst in them too...

 

Thanks for the head's up. I am a drama and detail person myself.

 

I second Ruth.

And add Serendipity something-or-other plus hic88, although I'm sure I left off a few fantastic authors...I haven't been keeping up with the boards much lately (time - not enough time).

Oh, also...QueenYoda...man, she has really matured as a writer.

They're all the writers I want to be when I grow up (except I'm already by far the oldest).

 

That's it. Changing my name to Something-or-other! ^_^

 

Welcome Ananta Chetan and Dooku-Darklighter !

 

Thanks, Val. I'm just getting my desire to write back so I'm in research mode. Hi there, Serene. Nice to meet you. *Shakes hand*

 

I did feel that voice actor James Arnold Taylor did a phenomenal portrayal in The Clone Wars TV series. I was a late fan of that show, just discovering it in the last couple of years. Supposedly we may soon see some pending bonus material episodes, which would hopefully come before Rebels, and I suppose Obi-fans next chance to at least see him on the small screen.

Thanks to serendipityaey for the kind welcome.

 

Yes, there are many fantastic authors here...Serendipityaey being one, HLC88, and Val, don't sell yourself short. Valairy Scot has written some fantastic stories as well, and there are many others, but like Val, I've lost track of many of them...my time being so much more limited than it was. ...

All these stories are strong, Obi centric stories...

Welcome, Ananta Chetan and Dooku-Darklighter...happy perusing!!

 

I'll just have the screen replaced. I'm interested in your fanfiction.will go check it out.i was a bit disappointed that Clone Wars did not follow up on the death of Satine story arc.like a funeral,if Bo Katarn planned tp avenge her in some waysor the comsequences of Obiwan's unsunctioned visit to Mandaloria.those kind of things.not to mention Darth Sidious assignment for Darth Maul at the end of the episode.
