Obi-Wan Kenobi (spoilers)

I was surprised that they didn't run into any Gorn.

They looked for them, but they had already gorn.

I've hiked there. The Vasquez Rocks are a lot of fun.

If you know, then you know.

duh-Duh-DUH-DUH-DUH-DUH-DUH-Duh-DUH-Duh-duh!

Also was that a ghost of the jedi that died in episode 1?

That was Anakin. Maybe a hallucination or a Force vision or some such. I expect more of that so that people can actually see Hayden's face during the show.

I am happy to see how Leia knows Obi-wan and explains why her ship would be caught near Tatooine and why she would send her "Help Me" message to him in the original movie.

That is already sufficiently explained in Rogue One: in that movie Bail Organa specifically mentions that he's meaning to get Obi-Wan (implied) involved, and then says he's gonna send a female someone (Leia) to recruit him.
Leia's ship, the Tantive IV is docked to Admiral Raddus's ship the Profundity when that one joins the fight over Scarif.

This makes it clear that Leia was always supposed to recruit Kenobi and she got the Death Star plans by chance because her ship did not have time to leave for Tatooine before the Battle over Scarif started.

That all is still not good enough for what seemed to many people that Leia knew Ben/Obi-wan personally. And that is now finally given detail in this show.

But, until this show, did she?

Because her message in SW makes it seem like she doesn't know Obi-Wan. She calls him "General Kenobi" and says that he served her father during the Clone Wars.

She doesn't say, "also, you rescued me that time when I was 10," and she doesn't call him Ben.

No, but when Luke bursts into her detention cell and says "I'm here to rescue you, I'm with Ben Kenobi", she isn't puzzled by the name for an instant and just responds "Ben Kenobi, where is he?"

I'm still not convinced.

She records the message as her ship is being taken. She's in a rush. So to convince him to help her, she says "you helped my father 20 years ago" and not "I'm the little girl whose life you saved."

I'm not buying it.

Also, Obi Wan is a jerk to his eopie. When we last see his eopie, he's tied it up. He then jets off to another planet entirely. What happens to the eopie? Does someone take it? Is it stolen? Does it starve or die from exposure?

This is on top of us seeing that he leaves it tied up all day while he's at work at the Krayt dragon meat processing plant.

Sarah McLaughlin would like a word with him about how he treats his space camel.

She has been trained as a diplomat and politician from a very young age. Of course she knows how to word a formal letter.

It looks rather dry and hot. Come to Surrey, we have rain!
