69los Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I'm happy for Bonnie Piesse (Beru). This is her 1st big role in years likely because of NXIVM and now she gets to cash some Disney checks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternallDarkness Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 just glad to see it won't all take place on Tatooine. For a planet on the outer rim it sure seem to be the hub for all the action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kal-El814 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 My only hope for this show is that Obi-Wan falls asleep in a tanning booth and smoked 2 packs a day to show how he went from Ewan to Alec in 16 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamusha Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I wouldn't say it looks cheap, but I still would prefer them to shoot Tatooine scenes on location rather than the volume. The end result is that it makes Tatooine look far more sterile than it did in the movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something just looks off, even aside from the Grand Inquisitor looking like the makeup artist basing his look after only looking at a picture of him from Rebels. Not like I'm not going to watch this though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well technically the show takes place ten years after ROTS, so Ewan McGregor has to turn into Alec Guinness in 9 more years from the show's starting point.

Haha yeah of course I'm just saying he still looks like Ewan McGregor even in the present plot. I mean, he looks older, but they'll never be close to the same, it's a different time than the 70's and people take better care of themselves and Ewan is just a younger looking, better looking guy. Plus, the ages of course don't match lol. Though technically, Alec Guiness was 64 when they shot A New Hope. Subtract nine years, you get 55 years old during this show, and McGregor is currently 50 years old. So, only 5 years off . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Canonically Kenobi is 57 years old at the time of A New Hope. Clearly living in the desert with two suns bearing down on you ages you terribly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ Was Overhauled for Being Too Dark; Ewan McGregor Says Character Is ‘Broken Man’ WWW.INDIEWIRE.COM The show changed writers because Lucasfilm was looking, "ultimately, to make a hopeful, uplifting story," says Kathleen Kennedy. They probably took out a few gay characters while they were at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is exactly why I'm so confused to why they changed it! They moved their new releases originally from Fridays to Wednesdays so that they wouldn't interfere with their movie releases on Fridays, so maybe someone noticed they don't have any Friday movie releases during the run of this series and decided to put it out on Fridays, but then they're a moron for missing the point of releasing it on May 25!

Greatoneshere Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Oh man, Joel Edgerton's delivery of: "like you trained his father?" and Ewan McGregor's completely humiliated reaction were so good. Chills. That's the kind of good family drama I think of when people talk about Star Wars being a "Skywalker family drama". In some ways if they go deeper with this it may make me rethink Uncle Owen. I mean, they imply Uncle Owen may care about Luke, but I always felt Luke had to get trained to save the world so Uncle Owen was an annoying obstacle to the plot. But for Uncle Owen, it was about keeping his adopted son safe, and not becoming his father. In A New Hope to me Uncle Owen always came off as callous, like he resented Luke himself, so I didn't buy the "protecting Luke" bit, but here I get the sense it's the opposite, interesting. He says: "leave us alone" which includes Luke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Also worth noting that Owen probably doesn't know Anakin is Vader, for all he knows Anakin is dead, and it's likely Obi-Wan thinks so too until he runs into Vader (which btw Ewan said in an interview that the first time seeing Vader freaked him out lol). Owen just doesn't want Luke to die like most other Jedi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Not that canonical consistency has ever been Star Wars's strength, but it'll be weird if Obi-Wan and Vader run into one another given their chat on the Death Star. Other than that, the notion of Obi-Wan dunking on part of the Inquisitorius is rad and I'm into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall someone - can’t remember if it was Lucas or not - saying that the opening screen crawl is meant to give the impression that the stories are legends being passed down as oral history. Under that guise I think inconsistencies like that are much more forgivable (not that I really care about canon). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they could ham fist an Obi - Vader encounter in-between Mustafar and the Death Star as Vader still not being "the master" or whatever. Honestly if I had my way, every episode would feature Obi-Wan committing an act of perfidy, he and Anakin LOVED doing that shit in Clone Wars, just two Jedi bros casually committing war crimes.

CayceG Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I've always been irritated that the prequel stories didn't match the summarized outline exposition that Obi Wan gave Luke and that Owen's comments portrayed. I am beyond hyped to see this, regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I'm calling it now that they'll address the weirdness of him still using the last name Kenobi as Ben Kenobi by having someone who doesn't know him yet, overhear Owen call him Kenobi, and then him introducing himself as Ben to keep his real first name a secret. Something like, Rando: "What was your name? Kenobi, did I hear?" Obi-Wan: "Uh, yes, Ben Kenobi." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kal-El814 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I've always thought it was "old Ben" because that kinda sounds like Obi-Wan, but what do I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
