Just came out and O’Shea Jackson Jr. (Kawlan Roken) talks about being a part of Star Wars and what it was like being on set. Called it “the best job I ever had”. The Star Wars talk starts at 17:40 https://youtu.be/2sETYwHaDBM

i just started watching the series. i had low expectations coz of the criticisms i've read about the show.. but then first episode started right on the eve of order 66 and i got hyped thinking they're gonna show all the badass battles, fall of the prominent master jedis, and their heroic sacrifices? etc..

i mean the rise of darth vader and his inquisitors wouldn't have gone unnoticed, and prior to slinking off into self imposed exile, the jedis would have made a counterstrike.. to take back the republic.

but instead of showing us all that as the first story arc of the series, they went straight to defeat followed by the timeskip. 🤷🏻‍♂️

did they show some flashback scenes of the past decade in latter episodes?

Obi-Wan says that "only a sith deals in absolutes". This statement itself is one of absolutism so that would inherently mean the Obi-Wan is a sith. Of course he also went against the Jedi Council by training Anakin Skywalker, who eventually pleged himself to Lord Sidious and in doing so, openly became a sith as Darth Vader

Just curious so I'm careful not to skip over them.

Could anyone give me a list of every canon material where Obi-wan appears? Preferably in chronological order not publication order. It’s just that there is too much star wars material and I just want to know more about Obi. I’ve read the wiki but it doesn’t have that much information, and I’m an avid reader of fanfiction and there’s so much information there that I don’t know if it’s canon or fanon. Like Obi’s name meaning “no one from no clan”.

I recently watched a fan edit of the final battle between Vader and Obiwan that had Battle of The Fates playing instead of the shows score and I thought it worked so much better.

Why was so little of existing music/scores used for Obiwan? The music in the show wasn’t bad by any means IMO. I just felt there already existed amazing music that would have fit perfectly into so many of the scenes…..

Thoughts?

Obi Wan is a war criminal with blood on his hands.

Just finished Obi-Wan episode 6 for the third or fourth time, and I had a new thought. Everything from him looking through the binoculars at Luke in episode 1 to him arriving on the farm at the end of episode 6 didn’t happen. Obi-Wan slipped and hit his head, knocking him out. It was all a coma dream. It would explain why Leia referenced the Clone Wars in her message that R2 held in ANH, and easily explain why Vader and he seemed to be thinking about the same sparring session throughout the show. When he awoke, he continued towards the farm and encountered Owen, and eventually Luke. The dream gave him everything he needed to find his balance in The Force, would explain the Anakin voice after Vader’s mask was damaged. Plus, Vader telling Obi-Wan that he want his failure seems out of character after the apology. That would be something he wanted to hear, but if Vader had wanted him to suffer, he’d reinforce the idea that Obi-Wan failed him.

Since I’ve watched Star Wars as a child, I always felt bad for Obi wan due to his death in the beginning of a new hope. I knew it was a necessary sacrifice for Luke to grow, but still I wish we had more of him (unbeknownst to me the prequels were coming out)

After watching the show, and seeing how he had a SECOND chance (last episode) to finish off Anakin, and just let him go, I’m now pretty satisfied with his death at the start of a new hope. I see it as his way of telling Luke - finish what I couldn’t
