Obi Wan Disney Plus Show Ewan returning

[ProphetofGanja]

This show's main offense is that it was supremely boring

Oh well, Star Wars gonna Star Wars

But wouldn't he have to die first in order to become one with the force? Yoda died of old age, Qui-Gon was stabbed but never vanished, and Luke was "exhausted." It was probably just done poorly, but Obi-Wan did say strike me down and I shall become more powerful, and Vader swung at him all the way through even though you don't see anything get cut. Though Obi-Wan did pretty much let him.

I finished the series with my dad and my brother. It was simply fantastic. Ewan McGregor hasn't lost his magic at all and the story really did keep everything canon within the films.

Something dawned on me: With all the things from A New Hope they felt the need to explain away (which seems to be a theme in these Star Wars prequel things....Han "Solo" because he has no one...) there was no explanation as to why Obi-Wan chose Ben as his name in exile.

Oh, I'm sure that's coming. Or there's already a book or comic or video game explaining it.

I wonder why he only made an alias for his first name. Kenobi isn't exactly Smith or Jones. I suppose it could be said in the Star Wars universe that it is, but I doubt it.


My favorite part was the point of the duel between Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi which Kenobi damaged Vader's mask. The voice changing back and forth between Christiansen and Jones was cool and symbolic of the transition from one to another in Anakain to Vader and the two trilogies.

It's the only thing that legit excited me since Rise of Skywalker tried to piece together the shattered vase left behind by Johnson. A shame.

I would've liked to see more Obi-Wan, but there is a point where they'd be really shoe-horning a lot into a period where he was supposed to be living quietly under the radar, watching over Luke.

I liked the first season - you could see a solid movie script in there somewhere amidst some of the other content. And the moments that were great were truly great. I want more Obi-Wan.... but.... do I?

[Andrew NDB]

I'd like to see him have a low key romance story, something to give him a little light during 20 years of staring at sand dunes through binoculars. Though obviously that would fly in the face of "letting" people believe Obi-Wan (and Luke) are secretly gay, and that's super important to these people, apparently.

I was kind of hoping for a couple more, maybe smaller and tighter seasons. They can take their time with it, though, I don't need that anytime soon.

I was under the impression that Tala was a love interest, but then she got fridged before anything could become of it. Other than that I didn't care about the inserted Reba character.

It was worth it for the Obi-Wan vs Anakin/Vader fights.It also gave Christiansen vindication for his line delivery with the Christiansen/Jones dialogue going back and forth showing the wooden delivery of Vader post-suit. Unless the Luke as a hologram and analog of a junkie getting a high for the first time in 20 years is fixed this is as good as it will get in-live action if you, like me have only interest in the original trilogy characters.

[IMJ]

It's been a very long time since I sat through them, but I remember Obi-Wan having a "love of his life" kind of interest in a Mandalorian Queen or something like that from the Clone Wars....

As long as Kathleen Kennedy is in charge, Star Wars will continue to disappoint. Her hatred for men is too much.

Hopefully the deleted scenes wind up on youtube or somewhere.

You think there is any? I feel like they threw everything in there. If anything, I'd love to see an Obi-Wan cut that chops out like 3 hours of garbage.

I saw somewhere... maybe in this thread... I can't remember
But some fan is putting together a professional edit of the show as a feature movie, recoloring it and editing it a bit for story poignancy.

$50? What the heck? It's just a 6 episode miniseries! It's not mid 20000s' complete season releases price. I would have thought $25, $30 tops!

It will probably go down to $39.96 cause that's what all the Wave 1 D+ Steelbooks retail for
