Obi-Wan Kenobi (spoilers)

[Paul Farquhar]

They like to do that kind of thing in the Star Wars and Marvel shows.

Much of Ep 4 is a homage to ANH. Obi-Wan sneaking around an Imperial base and distracting two stormtroopers with the Force. The unattended comlink. Leia being interrogated about the location of the secret rebel base. The planting of a tracking device.

Prediction: The proto-rebels survive and move their base to Dantooine.

You realize why this statement is funny, right?

Oh, another easter egg I noticed. The force users are preserved in amber.

This is a Jurassic Park reference. They are there as part of Palpatine's cloning program, something that may well be referenced again in The Bad Batch, Ahsoka, and possibly Andor.

I expect that was intentional too.

Probably not Ahsoka because that is post-Jedi.

Jesus, is that how people view the character? To me, she was your standard evil user of the Force. It didn't occur to me that she was what anyone thought of as a stereotype. That's just so unfair to Ingram Moses.

Didn't spot that myself but not American. Reva was alot better this episode she was just to chaotic stupid episode 1/2. Actors doing fine imho.

Alot of homages to ANH and one to Phantom Menace.

But pre-Rise of Skywalker. If they can show us proto-Snokes in vats in The Mandalorian, they can show us more hints about Palpatine's cloning machinations in Ahsoka as well. Disney/LFL is working very hard to establish some backstory for Palpatine's return.

It's like they could have put it in a movie or something. Hell Dark Empire did it better in 1991 and DE isn't great.

They basically explained his return in one of the visual books iirc. Well more Snoke perhaps.

It's not rocket science though. Cloning plus escence transfer or some variation.

There's also not much stopping Palps coming back again. They did deal with that possibility in the 90's via cloning shenanigans.

 

[Mezuka]

Fun episode. The rebel fly by attack was a bit over the top, even if I liked it. How could they surprise the Tower. Don't they use scanners?

Exactly. Not only can they patch the JJ Abrams plot-holes-big-enough-to-drive-a-Death-Star-through, they can create a unifying narrative across the different time periods.
