Mini Series Obi-Wan Kenobi - Part 3 - Discussion Thread (Spoilers Allowed)

It’s not. Star Wars fans just like to overthink things.

 

Because of his incomplete training, Qui-Gon is very limited where he can even manifest his voice. Yoda barely heard him in a dream on Corusant and had to travel to Dagobah for Qui-Gon to freely speak to him.

It’s later proven on The Clone Wars that it really was Qui-Gon who appeared to Obi-Wan and Anakin on Mortis. Not a trick like Shmi Skywalker. We also learned it was Ahsoka from the future using the world between worlds communicating backwards through time with herself.

I think it has to do with Star Wars’ popularity when most people used the internet for the first time in the late 90s. Star Wars news was a reason a lot of people first regularly went online. It did something that froze OT fans mentality online to that time period - so that of someone in their late teens and early 20s.

I’ve seen perfectly sensible adults who were 90s Star Wars fan revert back to their late high school and college selves at the mention of the prequels. That passion runs deep.

The blatant racism part is something that happened much later. I don’t remember that in the lead up to TPM.

What’s with the 58% audience rating for Obi-Wan on Rotten Tomatoes. I find that very hard to believe. It’s lower than Book of Boba Fett right now.

 

I gave it a 10 as I have the first two episodes. I can’t think of a single thing I disliked about it. Just a brilliant piece of television. Darth Vader’s return… I mean what can I say?

 

My guess it's internet trolls who hacked the site. A similar thing happened with The Rise of Skywalker.

 

My favorite thing in the series, maybe the only creative decision I've liked, is Obi-Wan's hallucination of cloaked Anakin watching him. I feel like that little element is a piece of a much better written series that we'll never get to see.

 

Anakin really looks like Palpatine there.

 

You're Michael Fassbender?

 

The RT audience score isn't hard for me to believe, this production just doesn't look high-budget, and the writing is very uninspired. The cinematography struggles to capture gravitas of characters too. That said, there is plenty to like as well, Obi-wan and Leia are delightful, Bail is noble and tragic, and there's plenty of Vader content. Makes sense that it would have a mixed reception, considering these are major OT characters being played with.

Star Wars: Resistance's RT score on the other hand was genuinely suspicious imo. Page after page of 5 star scores without comment, from accounts only a day or two old . . .

 

I know many people have complained about the music, but John Williams has not been used for any D+ show, if I’m not mistaken? The new composers have used intro bits and pieces to iconic songs but I can’t recall a JW piece.

For this episode, I really do wish though the Imperial March was used!

 

Leia seemed to get excited when Luke said I am here to rescue you I got your droids and Ben Kenobi is with us, paraphrasing but she perked up at Ben Kenobi's name may be she remembered him?

good points I agree with both of you!

 

I’m a very private person. Please don’t ask me that.

 

ok , this show doesn't do well with re-watches.

the trooper says they're looking for "a jedi" . so they must've been given some directive, the minimum being : "bearded guy in a robe with a little girl ."

and yet they don't seem to recognise this very obvious picture.

 

John Williams did score the Obi-Wan main theme which is heard during the ending credits.

 

10, 10 & 10...? Kind of loses it's meaning when everything is "perfection"

 

BUILDER: Why do you want this view of the lava?

VADER: Because some day soon I will find my former Master and watch him burn right there in that lava from my throne.

BUILDER: A throne? We didn’t have a throne in the contract.

VADER: I have altered the deal. Pray I don’t alter it further.

 

Season 2 is a go at Disney according to a proven scooper.

 

I’m glad you think so. Oh wait… no… what I meant to say is I don’t give a **** if you think so.

 

yeah, I'm not going for that excuse. I've been round here long enough.

 

Wait what?

 

All good... When I was 5 I used to think the same way... "Explosion! Lightsaber! 10!"

 

Er...I don't like that. Don't get me wrong, I'm thoroughly enjoying this series. My favorite new SW content since RO. But I see nothing good coming from a second season. It might be pushing the canon to the breaking point. Quit while you're ahead.

Hope this isn't true.
