Obi-Wan Kenobi Enhanced My Prequel Love

[Music],whats going on guys i hope youre,having a great day im gonna talk about,a new star wars show something i didnt,think id do for a while if ever again,but i love star wars and there are,things i want to discuss when it comes,to obi-wan kenobi the highly anticipated,six-episode series thats currently,streaming on disney plus this show picks,up 10 years after the events of revenge,of the sith during kenobis exile on,tatooine where he is watching over luke,skywalker when bale organa played once,again by jimmy smits reaches out to,kenobi and says my daughter leia is in,need of your help so kenobi sets out an,adventure across the galaxy to try to,rescue leia so return of the jedi came,out in 1983 so the very last star wars,movie at the time came out five years,before i was even born but of course i,watched them over and over again as a,kid as,you know but i was very much so there,for the prequels i was there for all of,it i was one of the people very excited,for phantom menace i remember going to,the theater as an 11 year old i was the,perfect age for it i even really enjoyed,it when i was 11 and,saw it many times in theaters then it,seemed like everyone hated the prequels,and mocked george lucas for a long time,i mean i certainly didnt give glowing,reviews to phantom menace or attack of,the clones but ive also witnessed a,resurgence in love for the prequels and,i in fact too have come around to,enjoying a lot of aspects about them i,talked about that in the video i made,has my opinion never changed i still,feel like watching the prequels every,once in a while despite various issues,that many people on the face of this,earth as well as the very platform,youre watching this video on have,discussed for years and years ad nauseum,to the point where i would rather throw,myself in front of a moving bust and,talk about problems with the prequels,i said all that to say that i take,reactions to star wars properties with a,huge grain of salt i really dont pay,attention all that much to what i,supposedly should feel about something,based off of an aggregator score,or,majority consensus or anything like that,the thing is for the past six weeks i,have thoroughly enjoyed watching each,and every episode of obi-wan kenobi,while shelby oaks was nearing the end of,production and throughout,post-production each episode has been a,welcome respite for me to be able to,chill out relax and watch you and,mcgregor play obi-wan kenobi and go,around the galaxy and do awesome [ __ ],and thats fine im not here to say that,if you didnt like the show or that you,thought it was kind of okay or that it,was disappointing to you that youre,wrong you know ive looked at a lot of,the fan complaints and ive ive read,things ive,read articles from,well-regarded outlets that seem to be,listing all of the mistakes the show,made or the inconsistencies that it has,brought to a new hope and,i dont really see it,i dont i actually think the show added,some fairly significant things to a new,hope and its legacy and im going to get,into some spoilers here if you havent,seen the six episodes of obi-wan kenobi,particularly the finale which i thought,was brilliant it gave me so many things,that i wanted to see but it also gave me,things i didnt really know i wanted to,see after the climactic battle between,vader and kenobi vader tells kenobi that,he killed anakin that obi-wan didnt do,that and when kenobi says then my friend,is truly dead and he uses the name darth,he doesnt say,anakin it kind of fixed something for me,in regards to revenge of the sith to a,new hope because when you catch up with,a new hope kenobi calls vader darth he,says youre only a master of evil darth,and i wondered i was always kind of like,why didnt he still refer to him as,anakin you know like what happened that,cut that off for him and having this,moment at the end of kenobi was a nice,tie to be like he no longer sees this,person as anakin he has officially,become vader and i liked the idea that,obi-wan was just existing on tatooine,genuinely thinking that anakin was dead,he left,a torso on the side of a volcano,the fact that hes somehow alive would,naturally be a shock to i think anybody,this minimal exchange of dialogue,between vader and kenobi also enhances,kenobis lie to luke skywalker when he,says that vader betrayed and murdered,your father it kind of makes kenobi look,like a better person the whole a certain,point of view thing from return of the,jedi always kind of made obi-wan look,like he was a bit of a dick for hiding,all of that for as long as he did now it,sort of adds an extra grain of truth to,that statement and i also love the idea,that the model ship that luke is playing,with in a new hope was a gift from,obi-wan kenobi i think thats a great,touch theres a lot of things in this,show where,i felt like the creators were actually,really trying to make a show for the,fans to appease us and to make us happy,and there were things even in the 30,minute episode that people seem to,really not like,i am so glad i saw i loved seeing kenobi,murder two stormtroopers in a dark room,as well as seeing him use the force to,keep water at bay before eventually,drowning a bunch of stormtroopers in it,i found that very badass and i im glad,that i saw that i dont know like i feel,like im part of this generation of star,wars fan that really never,thought theyd get to see this kind of,stuff disneys made a lot of choices,with star wars that i probably wouldnt,have made but i also dont see myself,ever wanting to make those choices i,like being a fan of star wars i like,watching i like reading i dont want to,i wouldnt want to make those creative,choices its gone from you were sort of,edgy and out on a limb,to say that star wars wasnt perfect,to now the exact opposite youre sort of,edgy and,alone if you say that star wars is,pretty good and youre told that youre,missing something somehow people are,genuinely,not allowed to just simply like,something anymore thats put out by a,large company like disney as ive,already said disneys put out plenty of,stuff that i didnt like i mean plenty i,just hate that i cant sit in front of,this camera and be like,these past six episodes made me happy,and i enjoyed watching them,without having to defend myself,constantly i thought hayden christensen,was great as darth vader both as a,physical presence and in the scenes,where he is maskless i also loved the,flashback scene uh between him and,obi-wan i thought that was fantastic it,gave me,a lot of nostalgia for once again a,series that i havent always loved but,part of me,does do you know what im saying its,hard to explain,and you realize over the years that,the way you necessarily looked at things,the time,dont always hold up dont always matter,the critical eye that you might have had,for something,sure you like acknowledge those things,but time does magical things and of,course being on set directing a feature,film last month,absolutely positively changed my,viewpoint on movies i knew it would i,mean ive been making like amateur films,and stuff since i was a kid but being on,a real set working with real actors and,real crew and really just,seeing how hard it is to make a film,thats even remotely competent it just,gives you a respect level for things,that you maybe never had before as far,as the character riva played by moses,ingram i think that looking at the six,episode arc shes very interesting the,first few episodes she appears to be,a,basic bad guy but once you learn that,she was a youngling that she witnessed,anakin murder all of her friends i,became very invested in her character,and her goal of working up the ladder to,get to vader to kill him,and the fact that she would do so many,horrible things,just to do that and you really saw how,she was slowly becoming him and,and doing things he did to get to him,and i thought that was a great,exploration of how a character,can go down a path of revenge and,realize that theyre becoming the person,they

Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 1 Review

[Music],what have you become,i am,what you made me,it was always going to be difficult to,create jeopardy in a story where we know,the fates of almost all the characters,before pressing play on its first,episode drama doesnt always have to,rely on the most ultimate of sacrifices,though and disney plus obi-wan kenobi,series knows this spending less time,manufacturing predetermined peril and,more teaching us about our heroes in,this case it really isnt about the,destination but the friends and enemies,made along the way,the series works best in its opening,episodes when presenting itself as a,character study reintroducing us to a,world weary kenobi settled into a hermit,life we saw when we first met him in,1977. hello there,its a role even mcgregor seamlessly,slips back into wearing the emotional,heart of the show on his chest its also,in these early episodes we get the most,time with vivian lira blairs endearing,portrayal of a young leia who brings all,the confidence sporting on,precociousness youd hope for you dont,need manners when youre talking to a,lower life form then i guess i dont,need manners when im talking to you,its a testament that obi-wan kenobi is,not overly reliant on fanservice or,blink and youll miss a cameos other,disney plush shows have fallen foul to,instead it hones in on our love for,existing heroes like kenobi and leia,granting us a deeper knowledge of their,relationships the series two most,engaging bonds exist between obi-wan and,leia and obi-wan and vader the former is,where we learned the most about kenobi,showing us the jedi at its tenderest and,full of the hope he represents to leia,earning the strongest emotional,responses a melancholic conversation,about family that takes place in the,back of a cart during episode three is a,particularly touching example sometimes,i try to imagine what he was like i know,that feeling,this jedi were taken from our families,when were very young,its these quiet moments that director,deborah chao excels in adding an extra,dimension to the characters we thought,we already knew so well on the flip side,obi-wans connection to vader is one,that fills him with regret and theres,still a part of him that feels anakin is,not a lost cause its this combined with,vaders obsession with hunting down,kenobi that drives much of the drama at,the series core,its no coincidence then that the show,is at its best when vader is on screen,the hybrid performances of both hayden,christensen and james earl jones add,gravitas to the proceedings and present,vader as menacing a presence as weve,ever seen displaying the sort of power,teased to us in rogue one,we dont necessarily learn more about,anakin over the course of the series,apart from reiterating the fact that,hes a very angry man but his presence,crucially allows for obi-wan to grow as,a character and rebuild himself as a,force it all builds to a thrilling final,episode that single-handedly makes the,whole show feel worthwhile have you come,to destroy me obi-wan,i will do what i must,as the focus drifts from these core,relationships though so does chows,grasp on where its heading this leads,to a couple of muddled episodes in the,middle that feel more like under-baked,homages to a new hopes prison escape,and the last jedis crate based siege,they embody the confusion obi-wan kenobi,has at its core whether it be a show,about the jedi master or about the,imperial inquisition hunting him its a,tug of war that never truly finds a,winner a fully realized inquisition show,could have been something fresh and,exciting instead what we get is an,underwhelming arc for riva feeling more,like a third wheel than a third sister,riva provides a substantial threat,especially across the series first half,and moses ingram does a fantastic job of,bringing her to life what is it you,think you will gain by capturing him,when im old,unfortunately shes let down by a fairly,predictable narrative arc and given,little time to flesh out her character,ingram delivers in the moment she has to,though and does well to create a worthy,antagonist considering her dialogue,doesnt make as much of an impact as it,could in fact this is an issue that,plagues obi-wan kenobi throughout with,the scripts feeling like they could have,done with an extra one or two passes,before making their way onto the screen,to smooth out some of the clunkiness,that threatens to derail pivotal moments,the shows approach to action is,similarly inconsistent were treated to,exciting lightsaber duels but also,subjected to some laughable chase scenes,its always tough to make a blaster,fight interesting when virtually every,shot needs to miss but it really does,take off whenever a lightsaber is lit,[Music],for a series that only consists of 6,episodes it delivers its fair share of,duels too these are often the highlight,of any episode and are expertly,choreographed hitting a sweet spot,between the stoic tension of the,original trilogy and the flashiness of,the prequels,again its no coincidence that these,best moments coincide with vader being,let off his leash wielding his fully,developed force powers with devastating,brutality,natalie holts score only adds to the,weight of these encounters weaving in,refrains from familiar star wars themes,it works to good effect even if were,left waiting for too long and in some,cases forever for some of the more,iconic pieces of music to kick in its,yet another example of the show being,nearly amazing but not quite there a,problem that touches almost everything,from action to music and crucially story,overall obi-wan kenobi does what it sets,out to achieve tell a successful story,about obi-wan kenobi in between the,parts we already know it enriches our,understanding of the character and,fleshes out relationships that werent,given time to be fully explored in the,movies,still you cant help but feel that with,some refinement of the script and,streamlining of the intertwining central,themes it could have been something,truly,special hello there,[Music],bookended by strong opening and closing,chapters obi-wan kenobi bridges the gap,between revenge of the sith and a new,hope to a satisfying effect ewan,mcgregor drives the show through a,muddled middle third towards a thrilling,conclusion worthy of making it into the,pantheon of great star wars moments the,action swings between dull and exciting,and the script leaves a little to be,desired in places but ultimately its a,notable entry into the ever-growing star,wars canon,for more obi-wan check out our,spoiler-filled review of the season,finale and for everything else stick to,ign

plan at a,huge discount plus one additional month,for free and now the obi-wan kenobi,finale has aired which means my saga of,videos,is pleasing,neither side of the internet finally,comes to an end in the finale of obi-wan,kenobi really there are two story lines,happening here two things are happening,rivas found out about this boy on,tatooine living with owen because bale,organa apparently is the only politician,who doesnt know the concept of not,leaving evidence on an answering machine,and obi-wan goes down on this planet as,darth vaders star destroyer is,following the ship hes like ill lure,darth vader away so youll all live and,darth vader goes down to meet him and,now we have what the star wars twitter,was what were they saying rematch of the,century i was like that was the rematch,of the century really but there is a,part that happens at the end of that,fight which is my favorite part in the,entire series of obi-wan kenobi so im,gonna save that for a little later its,okay reeva finding out about this kid,which i mean thats a leap though you,gotta admit that all she got from this,hologram message from bail organa was,you cant find out about the children,tell them owen the boy its just like,okay obi-wan and bail organa are hiding,this kid on tatooines living with owen,i know owen we i ran into him this is,one of those things this show actually,has done this a few times its kind of,like when you get the flashback with,riva and anakin skywalker stabs her,through the stomach and kills her,friends and rivas like anakins clearly,darth vader but they dont look anything,alike and they dont share the same name,and i was like how did she how did she,know that though and those were the,responses in the comment section people,were like well clearly the clone,troopers called him lord vader and they,probably did but the show didnt show,that it didnt illustrate that its like,the obi-wan series does that a lot its,just like all right well leaps are being,made but you get it you can piece it,together fine i suppose the same could,be said about riva making that leap of,like huh bail organa and obi-wan kenobi,are hiding a kid with owen on tatooine,clearly thats my sith lord bosss son,how did she get there would have been,funny if she had gone the more logical,route when she showed up to owens place,imagine her just plopping down like i,know about the kid and i know the truth,sailor ghana clearly had a kid with,someone on tatooine and obi wans,helping him to cover it up and hide him,so bail organic can avoid political,scandal paying child support divorce,thats clearly whats happening i mean,of the leap she could make i feel like,thats more logical than this kid is,clearly my sith lord bosss son anyhow i,guess we just assumed that she made the,connection between luke and anakin,skywalker and now shes arrived to kill,luke which she doesnt really do which,is fair like me a good arc when,someones about to do a terrible thing,theyre like i guess thats not in me i,guess im not that bad im free from,being under vaders rule i can choose my,own destiny choose my own life i choose,to be good i guess i draw the line here,i kind of see it as the martha thing in,batman vs superman i get how the,connection was made but im still like i,mean,so thats it this show generally changed,how i see inquisitors not for the better,i always assumed like inquisitors were,on the inside with vader you know they,were clearly terrible people i assume,vader already had her do things that are,about as bad as killing children because,you know shes an inquisitor and vader,has to know that she will take those,steps and make those decisions so the,fact that shes like no im not going to,kill this kid i dont know,i assumed she had already killed,children tied up in a bit of a nice neat,little bow i dont know how obi-wans,sleeping well at night generally this,show ended on all right everyones in a,good place kind of way i dont know how,obi wan is like theres an ex-inquisitor,out there who seems to you know seems to,be on a good path now dont know if,shes still on the revenge path with,vader and revenge is the path to the,dark side so she could,go back to the dark side and she knows,about luke and im just not sleeping,well at night like how does he sleep,well at night that would give me anxiety,for the next seven to ten years before a,new hope i just all right also riva,looks pretty good for someone who is,just stabbed with a lightsaber in a,world where theres no reason to think,her internal organs and her spine,werent going through exactly what that,door was going through this is going by,that shes walking around next episode,and neither does he so the darth vader,obi-wan fight the bummer with this,entire concept of darth vader and,obi-wan kenobi coming face to face as,they did in the ob1 series is the series,officially doesnt justify its own,existence like i was very resistant to,an obi-wan series when i first heard the,concept of it or was going to be a movie,back in 2017 i think i first heard like,theyre going to do this thing strong,possibility anyway and i was like no i,dont want them to come face to face i,dont want them to fight i like their,first meeting after revenge of the sith,being in a new hope,but,there is that one line in return of the,jedi where lukes talking to vader and,hes like come with me father theyre,still good in you i feel it and vader,says obi-wan wants thought as you do you,dont know the power of the dark side i,must obey my master i always liked that,line but that it always left me wanting,in terms of the whole saga,i always felt like there was something i,didnt see because obi-wan didnt say,that in revenge of the sith he was like,i would do what i must cause all right,you came to kill him even padme was like,youre going to kill him arent you,thats why he goes to mustafar he,doesnt give him a lecture he doesnt,say come with me theyre still good in,you anything like that i also liked that,scene in return of the jedi because that,was the first time i ever felt like,vader felt like a prisoner of his own,actions but that dialogue between,obi-wan and vader of come with me,theyre still good in you never happens,in this show its like oh the one thing,that hooked me into a concept or a,possibility of an obi-wan series,it doesnt happen its the obi-wan,invader fight in a fight thats not,nearly as good as the fight thats in,revenge of the sith im not talking,about the concept of all right now you,have a guy whos 10 years later and hes,rusty with the force and a cyborg so,hes clearly not going to be as good,youre comparing that to two jedi in,their prime or jedi in a new sith lord,no im saying like in terms of the shaky,cam and the choreography i just felt it,fell short also i felt it was dumb that,obi-wan was ever rusty with the force he,had one job and that was to be prepared,to train luke when the time came hes,like all right,i guess ill just not keep up on the,force but oh shoot now this guy whos,rusty wit

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Season Finale Review

[Music],have you come to destroy me obi-wan,obi-wan kenobi has saved its best until,last stories come to an end and others,are only enriched by a fantastic season,finale that delivers on both action and,emotion alike ewan mcgregor excels in,building out the legend of the jedi,master further delivering some of his,best moments as kenobi in an episode,thats a near essential piece of star,wars viewing,once again obi-wan kenobi serves us,heavy doses of nostalgia with the new,hope-inspired freighter chase with leia,on board pursued by a darth vader aboard,a star destroyer but the princess isnt,his target this time around its obi-wan,kenobis decision to evacuate the ship,in order to save everyone on board is an,effective one on many levels it allows,for a suitably tender moment between the,jedi and young leia but also serves the,larger story well by further reinforcing,the logic of leia calling for kenobi the,next time she finds herself in this,exact situation ewan mcgregor has,perfectly re-embodied the role of,obi-wan throughout the series delivering,the leadership weve come to expect from,the character but also showing a softer,side his relationship with leia played,charmingly by vivian lyra blair formed,the crux of earlier episodes but was,neglected in recent ones its therefore,great to see them get a dedicated moment,to say their farewell for now and wrap a,bow on a story that has genuinely,enhanced their understanding of the,characters and their connection to one,another further than the films ever did,the other inescapable bond the show,centers around is obviously between,vader and his former master vaders,obsession leads to another duel between,the two and the moment obi-wan silently,equips his lightsaber signals were in,for a good time,i will do what i must,[Music],then you will die,the fight delivers in all regards and,now stands as the best between the two,channeling the tension and grandiose,nature of mustafa without the need for,gymnastics or cheesy one-liners and also,blending it with the classiness of their,eventual showdown on the death star its,an exciting battle that shows obi-wans,strength has returned displaying it in,an impressive fashion by slinging,boulders at vader like hes taking on an,elden ring boss with a sorcery heavy,build the moonlit planet provides a,cinematic backdrop for the occasion once,again proving every lightsaber duel is,greatly enhanced by taking place in,darkness so red and blue can flood the,screen with every swing natalie holts,reworked themes swell in the big moments,providing music fit for the occasion,even if a small part of me really wanted,jewel of the fates to drop in all of its,glory the choreography is yet again a,fantastic marriage of aggression and,restraint embracing a dynamic,combination of swordplay and force,powers the most effective part of the,showdown is not the fight itself however,but the words spoken between the two old,friends once vaders helmet is sliced,open for a moment in time this,all-consuming darkness retreats to,reveal that a part of anakin remains a,teary euro mcgregor is especially superb,as you really feel the sadness in,obi-wan his regret mirroring anakins,anger vaders voice slipping in and out,of both hayden christensens and james l,jones is a fantastic way of showing the,ongoing battle within him a fight the,dark side is definitely winning at least,for now this realization that anakin is,already considered dead by vader is,seemingly enough resolution for obi-wan,who considers his fight to be with the,former jedi not his new sith form,walking away may well give him the,satisfaction and closure he needs but,you cant help but feel like finishing,him off would have saved the galaxy a,whole lot of trouble down the line im,looking for a farmer,named owen,the finale does a reasonably good job at,upping the stakes and throwing a dash of,jeopardy into the mix especially when we,know that every main character all the,way down from kenobi to aunt beru is,going to survive someone whose,destination was unclear was always going,to be riva now a hobbling husk of her,former self after her humbling at the,hands of vader she stalks the lars,homestead like something out of a,slasher film hunting for luke to salvage,some form of revenge on anakin this,plotline serves its purpose in giving,riva a satisfactory if not predictable,end to her story but in truth you cant,help but let out a small sigh every time,we cut back to tatooine as wed much,rather stick with the much more exciting,vader and kenobi encounter this serves,as a metaphor for the whole show really,which has felt caught between telling an,obi-wan story and one about the,inquisition both have been done to,decent effect but you cant help but,wonder if there are two great individual,series tussling within obi-wan kenobi,theyve been meshed together to create,one often unfocused one although not,seamlessly woven throughout this episode,it does very little to take away from an,otherwise thrilling spectacle plus we,finally got a strong burst of the,imperial theme and a repeat of that one,line weve been waiting for hello there,[Music],the finale of obi-wan kenobi elegantly,ties a boat on the stories it began,while enhancing the ones that are yet to,come a truly enthralling showdown,between vader and kenobi is what we all,hoped it would be topping not only every,fight from the series but maybe in all,of star wars in its final episode,obi-wan kenobi delivers on everything we,hope the show would be an exciting new,chapter of star wars that doesnt betray,what came before or after it only,breathing new life into the stories and,characters weve come to love,for more obi-wan kenobi check out our,review of episode 5 or the latest,edition of canon fodder where we delve,deeper into the show,[Music]

Obi-Wan Kenobi – Another One Bites The Dust

you know these days ive become pretty,desensitized to the idea that new star,wars shows are probably gonna suck its,just the natural state of affairs now so,solidly reliable and self-evident that,itd be like questioning whether the sun,will rise in the morning water will flow,downhill or amy schumers new comedy,routine will be about as funny as a,cancer diagnosis but this one was,different because as much as disney has,methodically humiliated and destroyed,beloved characters like han luke leia,lando and boba fett there was one that,stood tall amongst all this nihilistic,postmodernist garbage one final bastion,of good characterization and heroic,idealism that remained undefeated one,remaining linked to the star wars of,george lucas before the [ __ ] cartoon,rodent got hold of it obi-wan kenobi the,wise mentor the compassionate jedi the,skilled warrior the seasoned adventurer,the,bumbling incompetent old man that gets,bossed around by a 10 year old girl,father arent you going to say hello,hello,[ __ ] i suppose it was always gonna,happen wasnt it i mean eventually they,were gonna find him,shut up riva well get to you soon,enough believe that anyway to properly,explain how bad this show is lets have,ourselves a good old-fashioned plot,summary so kenobi picks up about a,decade after the events of revenge of,the sith kenobi himself is now living in,exile on tatooine living a simple,anonymous life while covertly keeping an,eye on luke to make sure the boys safe,nice one ben sure hope you dont totally,abandon this task at the very first,episodes,i cant leave the boy this isnt about,the boy and you know it,oh for [ __ ] sake so the objective,bens mission is leia organa a 10 year,old girl who looks like a seven-year-old,and runs like a three-year-olds she,gets kidnapped from alderaan by the,worlds most incompetent criminals,because you know why would the daughter,of a planetary governor need a security,detail or a tracking device or any kind,of remote monitoring just let the kids,run off into the woods bail im sure,itll be fine and because kenobi is,apparently the only person in the entire,galaxy that can take on a job like this,he abandons luke and heads off to rescue,her so he manages to track down leia and,rescue her from the worlds most,incompetent kidnappers but it turns out,that it was all a trap to lure him in,you see this is riva a strong diverse,female character whos now working for,the inquisitors to hunt down escaped,jedi across the galaxy and she wants,kenobi real bad like shell literally,torture and kill anyone who gets in her,way even the [ __ ] grand inquisitor,himself so they escape and head to,another planet on the vague promise that,there might be someone there who can,help them,well im convinced but wouldnt you know,it there isnt so naturally kenobis got,no idea what to do next and so leia,takes charge because 10 year old girls,who look seven and run like three year,olds are absolutely the kind of people,that you want to listen to when youre,being hunted by the most powerful,military force in the galaxy and the,inquisitors and [ __ ] darth vader,naturally leia walks them straight into,a bunch of stormtroopers and kenobi,loses his mind and forgets that theyre,supposed to be undercover and they,almost get captured but its okay though,because strong female not resistance,leader shows up to save their rcs get,used to this kind of situation by the,way because its a running theme with,this character anyway theyre about to,escape off world again but wouldnt you,know it darth vader shows up and kicks,kenobis arse in what has to be the most,poorly staged lightsaber battle in the,entire franchise and then sets him on,fire just like he got set on fire again,its like poetry sort of they rhyme,but luckily strong female not resistance,leader shows up in the nick of time to,rescue him well its almost like the,writers are using her as a convenient,fix to get kenobi out of any situation,that they dump him into but oh no riva,teleports in and conveniently captures,leia how exactly did she know where and,when to find her dont know so the,upshot is that leia has been kidnapped,again and its up to kenobi to rescue,her again why do i feel like this entire,show is the narrative equivalent of a,car spinning its wheels in the muds,anyway so kenobi and strong female not,resistance leader infiltrate rivas,headquarters with absolutely zero,difficulty rescue leia and make their,way out and its at this point that we,all bore witness to a scene that will,live in infamy amongst the star wars fan,base,[Laughter],nope nothing to see here just a,monstrously deformed hobo with two sets,of legs wearing a trench coat thats,several sizes too big dont challenge,him or report this to your superiors,guys just carry on with your day like,nothings happening you know shes,pretty small you could probably have put,her inside a droid or a cargo container,or a [ __ ] duffel bag and it would,have looked a lot more natural than this,[ __ ] when did the empire go from being a,terrifying intimidating force to a bunch,of absolute [ __ ] jokers so anyway the,not resistance rescue leia with a bunch,of snow speeders because nostalgia and,take her back to their not resistance,base well after having a protracted,morning sequence for wade a speeder,pilot thats on screen for all of 10,seconds before he got killed that i,guess were supposed to care about but,oh no riva put a tracking device on her,shame that her [ __ ] dad never thought,to do that and before you know it their,base is under siege which forces kenobi,to surrender to riva to buy enough time,for them to escape because you know all,they have to do is get their unarmed,transports out of the hangar and theyre,home free that massive star destroyer in,orbit is just gonna let them go but,anyway it turns out the rivers not,actually after kenobi after all okay so,this is where im gonna have to go off,on a bit of a tangent because trying to,rationalize this [ __ ] character and a,ridiculous plan it may have given me,actual brain damage so the gist is that,riva was a youngling during order 66 in,case you didnt figure that out from the,opening prologue already and she got,stabbed through the [ __ ] chest by,anakins lightsaber but naturally she,survived so that the rest of the plot,could happen clearly a spot of revenge,was in order so in order to get close to,him she joined the inquisitors and,worked her way up through the ranks by,hunting and killing escaped jedi over,the course of an entire decades you know,the same people that she wanted to take,revenge for because thats how morality,works in the real world dont you know,but then she somehow discovered a link,between bale organa and kenobi how,exactly did she discover this i found a,link between him and organa in the,archives oh the archives a those,archives which are accessible to all of,the inquisitors and darth vader himself,lucky that you happen to be the only one,to find that connection isnt it because,otherwise the rest of the plot never,could have happened so okay she kidnaps,leia to force kenobi out of hiding,because she somehow knows that belle,would only choose him out of the,thousands of other people that hes got,access to then she kidnapped leia again,and allowed kenobi to rescue her so that,she could put a tracking device on her,that would lead them back to the not,resistance base that would allow her to,get close to vader and then totally [ __ ],up her one chance to kill him what a,genius plan i cant see literally dozens,of ways that this could have failed if,everyone involved didnt behave exactly,the way you needed them to convenience,is a wonderful thing isnt it anyway,wouldnt you know it she fails to kill,the character thats clearly still alive,in the next movie who knew then vader,shoves his lightsaber through her chest,again leaves her to die again but she,miraculously survives again jesus youd,think vader of all people would,appreciate the danger of walking away,and leaving

Obi-Wan Kenobi: The Failure is Complete #RIPStarWars

this will not be our final video on this,series obi-wan kenobi episode 6 may well,be bringing the show to an ignominious,end but there is much left to be said,about where how and why it all went so,disastrously wrong things ive not had,time to cover in previous videos and,that i cannot include in this one,without detracting from its principle,goal aim and purpose which is a review,of the plot and all associated nonsense,of this episode specifically,consequently anyone tuning in for a,video that wraps up the entire sorry,mess that is obi-wan kenobi with a,series of high-level takeaways,meta-analyses deep dives into the,motives of the writers in the studio,behind this order 66-level travesty has,arrived precisely one week too early,well be presenting our overarching,conclusions next friday and i fully,expect that to be the last video we make,on this subject after all theres only,so long you can justify milking the,feted tit jizz from a show like obi-wan,kenobi without contracting a sickness of,the soul,this video like all that preceded will,restrict itself as much as its possible,to breaking down the plot of episode 6,and will forego the meta analysis except,where said analysis is absolutely,essential to understanding a particular,aspect of said plot or the,decision-making behind it or to,highlight some particular absurdity and,more than a little shameless theft on,the part of the writers and since there,is plenty to cover we will get right on,with it,we left episode 5 with vaders attack on,the planet jim beam obi-wan gave himself,up to the empire solely in order to,persuade space moses to enact her,apparently long-standing plan to shiv,vader in the back because all her,youngling murdering has in fact been an,aid of getting back at darth vader for,the crime of murdering younglings which,makes about as much sense as a character,motivation as raping children to get,back at geoffrey epstein,space moses allowed kenobi to escape,again attempted to shift vader but was,prevented from doing so because it,transpired he had been aware of her plot,to begin with,which posed a number of questions such,as why if you know a person in your,employee is a former jedi youngling who,wants to murder you would you put said,person in charge of the search for,obi-wan kenobi if finding obi-wan kenobi,is your sole animating purpose,is that not needlessly convoluted and,riddled with potential fuck-ups that,would completely undermine your,single-minded pursuit of your old master,might this not have been evidenced by,the fact space moses has so far,needlessly let kenobi escape on two,occasions,three if you count his escape at the end,of episode 5.,why lord vader are you so very very,[ __ ] stupid in this show,anyway kenobi does indeed escape again,and vader foils space mosess plan,pissing about in another of this shows,lovable excuses for fight scenes before,stabbing her,only then to let her live which he must,surely have known she would because,episode 5 also sees the reappearance of,the grand inquisitor who survived being,stabbed through the gut in just the same,way not to mention through the spine,because well hey i guess no ones ever,truly gone unless that persons name is,qui-gon jinn of whom more in due course,obi-wan and baby leia are on their way,to tatooine but the hyperdrive on their,ship is broken and vaders star,destroyer isnt far behind,why is everyone going to tatooine,well because bail organa goes around,leaving voicemails revealing all the,deepest darkest secrets in the galaxy,without a care for who might find them,and this particular bit of pure wankery,ensures that space moses will also find,her way to tatooine because con artist,from episode 2 dropped bail organas,message,because stupid and she found it proving,that bail organa was a diuretic omni,[ __ ] to send that message to a man he,feared may have been captured or killed,by the very people he does not want to,receive that message honestly because,stupid is the all-purpose plot tool,without which practically no disney star,wars story can operate,so now we are all off to the planet,where the greatest potential for plot,[ __ ] is to be found because the,closer we get to baby luke the greater,the likelihood of damage to a new hope,something we already know the writers do,not give a solitary [ __ ] about because,they have already done its significant,damage by having baby leia intimately,involved,not in that way with the man she forgets,all about come the original film,and i open with the conditions ive now,laid out twice in the course of these,videos none of which can be broken if,the setup for a new hope is to emerge,unscathed from this catastrophic of a,show 1. darth vader cannot spend any,time in proximity to baby luke or baby,leia,two obi-wan can have no meaningful,engagement with baby luke and three baby,luke cannot see a lightsaber i wonder,how hard and with what paucity of lube,episode six will bugger everything up,episode six opens you guessed it back on,tatooine with a man slug being a dick to,some locals but proving no man has a,bigger dick than a woman who wants to,have one or at least to be one he is,immediately slapped down by the much,bigger dick of space moses,shes already,shes already here how,how is she here already she got stabbed,through the stomach and the [ __ ],spine had a quick lie down got up found,a ship hop to tatooine and is here in,mos eisley,already,you might remember dear viewer that the,entire plot of the previous episode came,about because there werent enough ships,on planet jim beam to get the people off,world before the empire showed up it is,explained to obi-wan that he cant leave,immediately because there are hundreds,of people whove been waiting for months,for transport off world so hell have to,get in line but space moses who has just,been skewered by a giant [ __ ] bin bag,was able to find one after the empires,attack after everyone else has run away,apparently in a matter of seconds in,order to arrive here before,everyone else how does this work,anyway shes looking for a farmer which,we assume means shes looking for uncle,owen you might recall that she tried to,threaten information out of him in,episode one because she just kind of,forgot that she has the force mind,reading ability that she deploys in,episode two so she didnt even try it at,all on anyone not once,why is she looking for uncle owen,well because she heard bail organas,message or a fragment of same which,contained the words children owen,tatooine and boy,which isnt exactly very much to go on,unless you are the audience and you know,the significance of these words,its not impossible that the random,farmer she met in episode 1 whose name,happened to be owen was so memorable to,her that she instantly made the,connection here despite him being when,she first met him just some random but i,think it does count as lucky that he,happened to leave such a vast impression,on her that from such scant information,she immediately knows exactly where to,go exactly which part of what planet to,find whom to find,whom,what we do not get from this message is,anything actually tying vader to luke or,to leia besides a vague want to find,them which,is worth remembering because it becomes,very relevant later,meanwhile the star destroyer has caught,up with the fleeing transport and we are,once again compelled to ask how it is,that a show with a budget of around 25,million dollars per episode cant make a,star destroyer look even half as,convincing and alive as the model used,in the original film in the 70s,the hyperdrive on the transport is,apparently almost fixed and the plan is,to go to another random planet and to,escape the empire from there,but this is a disney star wars show and,so there has to be some variant of the,ticking clock contrivance in episode 5,they had to work against the clock to,unlock the hangar doors in this episode,they have to work against the clock to,get the hyperdrive working before the,shields and the pow

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Episodes 5 and 6 – re:View

[Music],[Applause],well were back everybody we thought,there was going to be eight episodes of,the obi-wan kenobi show so i said lets,film four and then four more but it,turns out theres only six because they,ran out of ideas and they said lets,just end the show,and i think i think my problem with the,show is,there should have only been four it,should have been a movie yeah,i wanted to bring up that very exact,same point is that this feels like a,movie,uh thats thats just,condensed that especially the last,episode the last episode where things,happen the last episode was like the,last act of a feature film and then then,all the pieces all fell into place where,i was like oh,boom boom boom boom you can visualize,all the beats like a movie,stretched out and you had said i dont,know if you were just talking out of,your ass or theorizing that they had,started with an idea for a movie,and then said oh,[ __ ] movies lets make a tv show for our,streaming service that was my theorizing,i dont know if this officially started,as a movie and then they said well make,it a series instead that may have,happened,but by the time you get to the the sixth,episode,i was actually enjoying it more than i,had the previous episodes because i was,like hey it actually feels like its,going somewhere,my overall opinion hasnt really changed,much i still like it,other than the other than the,mandalorian season one this is the most,ive liked star wars in the last 35,years,but,i got some i got some nitpicks,its like they,they have their their third act and they,do it twice its like our,our rebels are cornered the imperials,have them pinned down and obi-wan gives,himself up so everyone else can escape,and then the very next episode theyre,on the ship and oh no our heroes are,pinned down by the empire thats right,on their ass the empires right there,and so obi-wan gives himself up so,everyone can escape like why did you do,that twice,cut out all that [ __ ] they did on the,spaceship,and then just have the whole thing take,place on the planet and obi-wans,confrontation with vader is on the,planet and then you dont need to do,that really awkward thing where he takes,off an escape pod and darth vader looks,like he looks like a like an idiot like,kylo ren did in the last jedi where hes,like no were gonna give up on catching,the the people we need to catch so i can,settle my personal vendetta and it makes,darth vader look like an idiot,and they did the same thing twice two,episodes in a row why,well every episode was kind of the same,thing,oh no theyre coming for us weve got to,run down this hallway and get away,yeah but ill say because you guys liked,the other episodes more than i did,because you were paid by disney clearly,[Music],that was a real thing people were saying,because people are idiots disney paid me,to say it was super okay yes yes that,was clearly a video sponsored by disney,rich,by the way when i came here i noticed,your rolls-royce was double parked,do you think you should move it,they gave me three more its okay if,this oh okay okay okay i just wanted to,double check that im sorry jay what you,were saying uh oh i was gonna say these,last two episodes i liked a lot more,than the previous episodes,partially because it felt like it was,actually starting to go somewhere,uh but one thing we brought up was darth,vader and now hes not scary anymore,hes not intimidating and he feels like,a guy that you would see walking around,disney world or whatever,these last two episodes,were pretty decent vader that was a,pretty exciting fight scene the well the,the last episode fight but even before,that when hes fighting riva and hes,putting in like no effort because he,doesnt have to right and hes just kind,of like standing there hes like youre,not going to do anything to me its like,okay that feels kind of like vader,do you think what do you think when,qui-gon showed up at the end was he was,like,everybody got stabbed in the chest with,lightsabers but i died,i think the moral of the story of this,and and the prequels is,finish the job,because riva stabbed the uh the the the,um,inquisitor grand inquisitor,and then she walked away,and he hes a weird alien so maybe she,missed his vital organs because theyre,in different places or something but,then riva gets stabbed right and he says,to her,i survive because,revenge is the strongest like will to,live or something yeah like that yeah,revenge does wonders for the will to,live dont you think,and then him and vader walk away,and then on mustafar obi-wan didnt,finish the job,when he,could have cut up anakin 25 times look i,think it doesnt really matter like you,say you could take the lightsaber like,really you just stab somebody in the,chest its a [ __ ] lightsaber just go,like this afterwards,but really,they cut darth maul in half and that,didnt stop him from getting robot legs,thats true what did that happen then,because people i saw some comments about,that its cartoons,or rebels or something but his hologram,appears in um solo solo and then theres,a low angle shot where you can see a,robot leg okay i also wanted to say,uh vader buries obi-wan kenobi and rocks,finish the job then obi-wan cuts up,vader he chops his mask open and then,vaders like,and then im going to work away yes one,way or the other whichever one of us,dies im going to finish this nope,well in this case they couldnt finish,it because we have the prequels that we,have the original trilogy,and thats whats interesting about this,is that the last episode especially it,kind of just becomes a remake of revenge,of the sith,its like a rematch and then it ends,with because the revenge of the sith the,whole prequel trilogy is about,uh anakin turning to the dark side and,then you get to the end of this and its,like vader turns,more to the dark side this is a its a,remake of revenge of the sith and its,also a remake of a new hope,but a safe house,like the one you were in,has been found in two systems,[Music],tyler can you hear me,again its like poetry so if they rhyme,every stanza kind of rhymes with the,last one,hopefully itll work,star wars is creative,i was i was i was watching it and i was,thinking and and i know this is,blasphemy to say any comparisons to,empire strikes back,but in the tr in the idea that this is a,what six hour long movie,i was thinking like what happens in,empire strikes back right,it opens up,on the hoth planet its cold,we we see luke skywalker theres luke,skywalker hes on a,taunton checking perimeters or doing oh,wampa ah,little and then we reunite with all of,our characters battle empire lands,battle everyone escapes and goes their,other ways,the middle of the movie,luke is on dagobah,han solo is fleeing the empire,and then in the end,theres no battles in the middle,and then at the end,luke no theres character work and drama,in the middle right and and luke says i,have to go save my friends,vaders trying to draw theres lots of,drawing people out,riva kidnaps leia to draw out kenobi but,shes drawing out kenobi so that she,could draw out vader,and vader is using,riva to draw kenobi all so that nobody,could kill anybody,then you will die,but but if you took this obi-wan series,right,and what are what would be our big,uh the big action set pieces would be,the the kidnapping of leia right that,could be instead of an embarrassing,little,uh mary kate ashley olsen chase through,the woods,it could have been an epic scene where,a small group of pirates they show up at,the the castle the the palace where they,shoot up the palace shoot up the palace,and and and uh i want to say tony danza,whats his name,uh jimmy smith jimmy smith is running,and oh,uh everyones everyones blowing things,up and running around and um,you got spaceships landing you have big,battle almost like the hoth battle,uh oh the the escape i i like that scene,where the transport ship is fleeing the,its nice to see a star destroyer just a,basic one star destroyer not 10 million,of them,not the rogue on
