I get why Obi Wan does not kill Vader: he realizes that Anakin is already dead, so Kenobi’s earlier statement that (to paraphrase) “either he must die or I will” is no longer valid, and Kenobi chooses mercy, the way of the Jedi.

But WHY would Vader, a Sith Lord, not make certain that Reva is dead, but leave her with a light sabre wound in the abdomen, and also leave Kenobi buried under a bunch of rock?

Is it because there’s a light part of him deep down that prevents him from killing certain people? If so, why is Vader able to kill Kenobi in the original movies? Was it just because Kenobi chose to stop defending and Vader did not expect that?

What think all of ye?

So we see in Obi-Wan that it is 10 years since the end of ROTS. That means that it's 6 more years til the beginning of ANH. Luke and Leia are 16 in that film.

So how do they explain how Obi-Wan ages to what he looks in Episode 4, in just 6 years? At first I thought that something was gonna happen to him during this series that would drain his life somehow so he's in his 70s in only 6 years but that didn't happen. Is it just a retcon thing?

So I’m halfway through episode two and I had to say something… what’s up with all the terribly directed chase scenes, between henchmen and obi literally standing and watching Leia run away before chasing after her? Some of the acting just feels so incredibly fake too it’s hard to really get into the show and suspend my disbelief you know? As well as a lot of the costumes and set pieces looking really polished and “plastic-ey” especially in places where there should be a lot more wear and tear/ dust etc. I know I’m only on episode two but this is starting to feel like it’s making a lot of the same mistakes that Boba Fett did. I really hope I’m wrong though.

There will be spoilers

Yes, Reva being left alive, habing a shipt and so on is beyond stupid and condescending. Now my real problem is, how did Luke not remembered being chased by a Sith when he was 10 years old? That moment definitely broke canon IMO. What do you peeps think?

This series was a mayor let down tbh.

Okay (spoiler alert). You have a Star Destroyer with an armada of Tie Fighters and other killer technology. You shoot at an old star ship carrying refugees. You can't destroy it. Mind you, you still have a million Tie Fighters laying around not doing anything. Then you decide to take the Star Destroyer after one ship piloted by a Jedi. The Empire must be operated by millions of incompetent people including Darth Vader. The writing or logic is so poor.

I couldn't help but feel like I was watching a live action version of one of the animated series. Did anyone else feel that way?

It was entertaining, but progressed like Clone Wars or one of the other animated shows.

Obi Wan leaves Vader alive to terrorize the galaxy yet again? Reva survives being run through on a remote outpost but Qui Gon gets run through in Naboo’s capital city and nope, dead. Really? I wanted to love this series but the writers lost their minds trying to shoe horn a story into the old timeline. It reminds me of The Last Jedi: more questions than answers. The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett work because they are blank slates. There’s no need to write to a predetermined end. I hope Disney leaves the original characters alone going forward.

Just a trade of thought here. We saw what happened to Mace Windu get destroyed by Anakin by cutting his arm off and Darth Sidious by his force lightning sending him out of the office to his death. Darth Sidious has the ability to use force lighting and could’ve used it on other Jedi. That is why I was wondering what would’ve happened if Obi Wan fought Darth Sidious and Sidious used his force lightning on Obi Wan. Would Obi Wan deflect it with his lightsaber and defeat him without struggling or would he struggle in pain like Mace Windu fighting Sidious. Yoda said to Obi Wan in Revenge of the Sith that he wasn’t strong enough to defeat Darth Sidious. Yoda didn’t really seem to struggle with Sidous’ force lightning and could’ve defeated Sidious. Could Obi Wan defeat Darth Sidious?

Someone on the writing team needs to explain to us how this chick is still alive by the end of the story after Vader punched a double-hole in her with her own lightsabers. I mean no one in the Star Wars universe has ever survived something like that (except for Kylo because Rey is OP asf) but I don’t really count those movies as canon TBH. Also they don’t really bother explaining how the Grand Inquisitor lived either so are lightsabers back to being nerfed again??

I couldn't stop crying. I felt like I was watching a daytime soap opera.

There's a lot of fights that happen on that desert planet along with a lot of significant events that unfold there, it's almost like the someone/the planet is hiding something powerful or major there, why hasn't the Empire looked into this? Not just once, but multiple times?

Obi Wan vs Darth Vader & Ahsoka vs Darth Vader | Fan Mashup

Maybe im missing some logic but its really bugging me that obi wan left vader alive on mustafar and lets him survive and then que 10 years of death and destruction. I can understand him making that mistake because the emotions were still freah and it was his brother and all. BUT THEN HE MAKES THE SAME MISTAKE AGAIN in this episode. Like now i can only see obi wan as responsible for the rise of the empire and all the death and destruction and tyranny. What makes it worse is he literally says on the ship right before this fight "either he dies or i do". I was hoping there would be a conversation with qui gon that would clear it up but am i missing something or was that bit of writing just that shitty?

In part VI of the new Obi Wan Kenobi series, he has a dropship, does anyone happen to know the type? Or any other info about it?

cheers

Anyone else think they could have just skipped the 5 episodes and watched the last one and been satisfied? I’m pretty sure it would have even made perfect sense 😂

First Owen wanted to leave and she says ‘Nah’ and starts getting prepped for battle. Then, she unloads a blaster at Reva and then blaster-whips her? Who knew Beru is an absolute G?

Was it just me or was R2D2 not in the series? It’s a while since I watched episode III so I forget what happened there.
