    So they're planning to take Obi-Wan to Jabiim. That's the planet where Obi-Wan was presumed killed in the old Republic comics. Coincidentally (?) the same comic series that introduced Quinlan Vos.
    Interesting.

    Have watched it twice now. Absolutely loved it. Yes the Vader v Kenobi confrontation was great, but there were some fantastic little moments in there too.

    Obi Wan describing the force to Leia.
    Obi Wan remembering his family.
    “The Path”
    The loader droid.

    They also did an amazing job with Vader’s voice. Sounded very much like ESB Vader. Chills….

    Some amazing world building. I’m loving how they are approaching this era. Another reason to be existed for Andor!

    Best episode so far.

    Vader's voice sounded really cool to me. Almost had a tinge of Hayden in it although I know it is JEJ.

    They manipulated that track digitally quite a lot. Well done.

    Great episode. Finally seeing Vader in action was phenomenal. I also enjoyed all the references.

    The star-nosed mole alien was cool.

    It was so cool hearing Obi-Wan talk about his family. That’s not something the prequels had time to delve into but of course he would have had memories of them even if they were fleeting. So it was nice hearing him acknowledge them.

    It would be so cool if Obi-Wan and Quinlan have an actual scene together. Maybe something like the Gandalf and Aragorn scene in ROTK.

    “Everyday we come closer to defeating them, Obi-Wan.”

    “How do we know that?”

    “What does your heart tell you.”

    :p

    Kenobi has surpassed any expectations I had; never thought it would be this good. I've no real complaints.

    This show commits and is legit.
    Best new SW content since Rogue One imo. Really top notch quality here. Wow. Think I'll just rewatch Part III right now.

    It would be great to have Quinlan appear. He and Obi-Wan were childhood friends in the comics (and kind of seem to be in TCW?), so I'd love to see that.
    But I'd also be just fine if this was a tease of another show. Either way, more Jedi in live action pls. Especially if it's Quinlan, because he's great.

    Ben is trying so hard to commune with Qui-Gon and his thoughts turn dark, towards memories of his conflict with Anakin.

    This realistically portrays what often happens during meditation; when the mind takes it's own erroneous negative course instead of staying focused on the breath and being.

    One of the best pieces of the Clone Wars multimedia project. That Jabiim comic arc also had some amazing characterization for Anakin too

    Yes, it's Hayden. For the most part at least, unless they've been lying on the press tour. :p

    Well, they've made a big deal out of Hayden being in the suit.

    I'd place Kenobi up there with Episodes I-VI and Rogue One.

    It's definitely gonna be part of saga rewatches from now on. Along with Episodes 1 and 2 of BoBF and The Mandalorian.

    Also Vader using the one hand grip on his lightsaber like he does with Luke later on. Show off. :p

    yeah I’m sure it’s Hayden. He talked about having a Vader movement specialist to keep the body in the motion of Vader.

    Very good.

    Finally, a little creeped by Reva at the end.

    When Obi-Wan slips and calls Leia by name, that was an interesting way to show just how rusty he is as a Jedi. It only got worse from there.

    When Ben truthfully tells the Stormtrooper that he called Luma, Liea because he misses his "wife" and it's been a hard time for everyone is brilliant.

    "I get confused. Like I said, it's not been easy."

    Even the troopers look sad for a second before he's like, "Well, just keep your eyes open!"

    You knew her. My real mother.

    Great episode.... some silly bits again, Vader could have totally destroyed him but didn't and allowed him to escape.

    Vader didn't seemed as enraged as I thought he would be upon seeing Obi Wan, the conflict inside Anakin must be at its highest point, there has to be another confrontation to see why Vader is so much more cautious on the death star.

    I thought that Vader was really good in this, the voice, the actions, the movement and the sheer evilness of him. If that is an AI version JEJ then it shows he can live forever in as many movies or series as they want to make with him in there. Great stuff.
