re: Obi-Wan Kenobi - Episodes 1&2 Discussion Thread.

The gang chasing Leia in the woods was the cringiest shite I've ever seen.

Other than that, I had fun with the two episodes.

I knew strong black waman was gonna be forced and OP but damn. Clipping the GI in 2nd episode wow

So the Grand Inquisitor in Kenobi is different than the one in rebels. That doesnt jive with rebels or comic cannon.

He either survived the stabbing or is a different but similar looking grand inquisitor explaining why he is not Utapauan in appearance.

Haven't seen Rebels... my son has.

This is a solid show. My son is currently discussing the old 501st soldier Kenobi dropped some coin onto. He's not pleased that an Inquisitor knows Vader is Anakin, but otherwise we're both liking this.

I’m sure they’ll explain that part. I’m positive she’ll be the only one who knows that and will likely die with that information. She was probably at the temple during the Order 66 and saw him killing Jedi.

Remember, there are supposed to be scenes of Hayden de-aged. Wouldn’t be surprised if it shows Anakin and Palpatine at the temple with her watching and Palps calling him Lord Vader.

Deborah Chow has gone on record saying she took the canon with the utmost respect. Hence why Leia still doesn’t know Ben is actually Obi Wan Kenobi. He never revealed either name to her. If people want to bitch about the show, they just want to bitch. The only negative so far has been Reva and she hasn’t even been in it that much. It’s a good show so far.

I’m almost positive he survives. It was just a shot to the liver not like the chest death blow that got Qui Gon

I’m curious if Obi Wan was hesitant because he just wanted to get out of there without getting into a long fight and draw more attention to himself than he already had or because he doesn’t have faith in himself to take out a lowly Inquisitor.


I’m leaning towards the former since he basically dismantles Maul with the quickness when he’s 10 years older in Rebels

But Leia knows that there is a Ben Kenobi in A New Hope.

Also, they are a million percent planting the seeds for why Leia names her son Ben.

I really hope that don't drive this franchise into the ground. The spinoffs to emulate the Marvel Universe (damn it hurts just to type that term) in theaters were one thing but how many Disneyfied series is this so far? For a guy who was so protective of the franchise for decades, Lucas has now become a real life version of Palpatine on steroids.

** Full Disclosure: My parents first night out after I was born was to see Star Wars in 1977 so I grew up around it...merchandising and all. Saw all three prequels on day one (even bought the shitty podracing game on my way home from Episode 1) and VII-IX Day one on IMAX/IMAX 3D. I watched Rogue One in the theater and bought the Solo steelbook but it has sat unopened on my shelf since release day. I have not watched any of the series and refuse to watch the Mandalorian after what they did to Gina Carano. I do have the large 12" Baby Yoda Funko on display. (For Yoda, a weakness I have.)
