Obi-Wan Kenobi (spoilers)

She doesnt know he's unaware Anakin survived. She's literally surprised Obi Wan was unaware. She says as much.

You missed that?
Her tone implies that she wants it to hurt. The way she says anakin also doesn’t fit how a subordinate would talk about their boss. For example listen to teams talk about their coaches. They always say coach first. Same goes with military/police. It’s just crap

Now she’s going after fans . It’s almost like they knew what they were doing. Feels like a wwe heel moment . The bad guy will trash the fans to get them to throw things at the ring. I think this is some of that based on Moses reactions

Several years ago I've come to the conclusion that I hate prequels as a concept in general.

I loathe prequels and fan service. What I'd always prefer is a new story set in the same universe. I'd much, much rather they create equivalents (for example, like they did with STNG where they were very aware that Data was going to be their Spock, in that he was the character that would struggle with what it is to be human) than recast the same characters over and over.

That said, I'm very much enjoying Obi-Wan (mostly in spite-of) its fan-service. (I say mostly because I can't help myself to get excited when I see Darth Vader and I loved the little girl's Leiah-ness, if I'm honest.)

I also absolutely LOVE Star Trek Strange New Worlds. But I would probably love it more if it was set after Next Gen and everyone had new names, even if they were otherwise almost exactly the same.

Solo would have been a better Star Wars movie if they'd made Han and Lando completely new loveable lowlifes, the Falcon a different hunk of junk and Chewie a different silent alien sidekick.
 


Obi Wan is going to own Vader later on in the series, likely using some Qui Gonn technique, and put Vader in his place with 'One last lesson'.

I'd wager my starship on it.
Please tell me we're not talking about just some local bulk cruiser, here.
 

1) They ruined Obi-wan 'like they ruined Luke' by making him a sad, weak, disillusioned old guy who cant do anything anymore, and is 'not the story I had in my head-canon', and
I see this take on Obi-Wan very different from what they did with Luke:

  • Obi-Wan never lost faith in the Jedi as a concept, he lost faith in himself. Luke just threw away all of the teachings and cannon, saying "the jedi SHOULD end" whereas that has been forced on Obi-Wan.
  • We saw Obi-Wans journey. We saw him lose everything, saw him have to fight his former Padawan and friend. Conversely we get just a few scenes to describe Luke's fall into bitterness.
  • There is no blue milk.
  • Also plot-wise Luke's behavior never made sense. This is the same guy that apparantely made a map so people can find him (episode VII) but then when they do he's like "you never should have come looking for me" (episode VIII).
 

James Earl Jones definitely delivered a much better performance in this show, than he did in Rogue One. I don't know why it was so bad in Rogue One. Maybe he had a cold, or it was a hasty pickup? Who knows. But this sounded like original Vader. I paid extra attention to it, to see if it was someone new doing the voice. But it absolutely sounded like the legend himself.

It's been mentioned before - it's a digital recreation.
