**Beware SPOILERS** Obi-Wan Kenobi Series on Disney+ **Beware SPOILERS**

[a-dev]

Joel Edgerton was great casting.

As much as I've publicly **** all over this thing, of course I'll still watch.

(for free...heh heh heh)

And even though I already know I'm gonna roll my eyes at how it distorts the actual SW timeline, I'm willing to bet it won't be BOBF bad.

Deborah Chow proved her competence to me already in Mandalorian.


(But then again, Desperado is one of my all time favorites, and look at what happened to Rodriguez. Is it possible Desperado is not that great a movie but I was just hypnotized by Salma Hayek's perfect ****? No...no...they were perfect, but Desperado is a damn fun movie on top of that...)

Cinematic or in person? Cinematic was of course, Fast Times for me. In-person, actually much less memorable...

Cinematic Halloween 1978 PJ Soles if i’m not mistaken but Fast Times is legendary!

I saw Paradise when released hnnng.

Real life probably my mom for milk.

That wizard's just a crazy old man.

Crap. I wanted to post a picture of me at the ORIGINS CON 1998 in Columbus, Ohio, where I took a picture with the one and only Phil Brown, the original Uncle Owen, but I don't think I ever scanned it.

I also met Dave Prowse and Jeremy Bulloch that day. Sadly....none of them are with us anymore.

 

[jye4ever]

I’m ready for this…

Yes, there was a period of time in the late 80s and early 90s when Star Wars was seemingly forgotten, but I am not disputing that and not actually sure how and why that became part of the conversation, as it isn't relevant to the debate at hand regarding whether the plot leaks for "Obi-Wan Kenobi" retcon anything in the Star Wars story.

The point of my rambling and waxing poetic about the "dark years" of SW fandom was just to show that as tasteless as you might find it, there really is something to the '"ageism." And everyone hates the phrase "Oh you had to be there" but in a lot of ways it's true.

I'll never know what the height of Beatlemania was like, but my parents lived through it. I can watch documentaries but I'll never understand how it felt to be there, to be young and alive in THAT MOMENT actually felt.

For a lot of us Gen X-ers, the Star Wars trilogy was our moon landing, as hyperbolic as that may seem.

The relevance comes in when you consider those three movies, pre-special edition, were pretty much all we had, and we dissected and discussed all the minutiae of it day in and day out til there was nothing left.

So that's why I said there was no doubt in MY mind or anyone's mind that Luke had never laid eyes on a lightsaber before. Having some random woman almost kill him with one when he's ten sounds unthinkable to us. And it also ruins his origin. He really was just supposed to be some random, backwater, country bumpkin kid that had never done anything of any importance in his life, and he thought he was destined to do nothing but farm water like his uncle. He longed for more, of course. But having some random high level Imperial soldier use a very memorable and sophisticated weapon and threaten to kill him and only him when he's ten years old? He'd have realized then and there he wasn't just some ordinary kid, or at the very least, he'd spend the next ten years wondering about why that happened.

But he didn't. Know why? Cause it never happened! He never saw a lightsaber til Ben showed him one!

That's how it was and WEEEE LIKED IT!!!!!

His voice seems a bit off, I know what he's going for a mix between himself and Alec Guiness but it's weird.

Stopped Michael in his tracks...for a minute

I hope Luke says Yippie in this.

 

[Dark_Knight_89]

I hope Luke says Yippie in this.

At no point in "A New Hope" does anybody say or confirm that Luke has never said Yippee before.














I joke

 

[jye4ever]

It is never said or established in "A New Hope" that Luke has never said Yippee before.














I joke

You will be the death of me…..and Otto lol

 

[Dark_Knight_89]

You will he the death of me…..and Otto lol

Don't say that, Master. You're the closest thing I have to a father.

Does anyone feel this is the one D+ series that needs to be double the episodes ..there is so much they can tell, I hope it doesn’t feel rushed heading to the season finale

Well…not really.

Even if each episode were only a minor 30 minutes long that would still be a 3 hour movie so in essence at a minimum we are about to get a 3 hour Obi-Wan movie which is probably longer than the standalone Obi-Wan movie they were to going to make.

 

[Captain Clown]

“So much they can tell”? I was under the impression from the beginning that this would/should just be Obi Wan bumming around on Tatooine, but it looks like they’ve managed to cram everything but the kitchen sink in this.

Yup he travels to 75 planets with little Luke tagging along they even go visit Grogu and help Ahsoka deal with Anakin’s grief.

The beauty of it..is the average viewer audience shouldn’t be disappointed, because this is fresh concept focusing on Obi wan adventures in live action media, so it’s all new in terms of development and story..there is no background story that needs to completely match lore ..So the expectations should be compromising to most in case it doesn’t deliver.

However to the hardcore SW fan faithful this could be more disastrous than BOBF if it doesn’t meet expectations

I doubt that..the trailer seems like he is checking on Luke with no real interaction , remember in ANH Luke didn’t even know Obi personally ..he just heard about him

 

[Captain Clown]

Well, the “average viewer” wouldn’t even give a crap about Ewan or Hayden coming back. They’ve specifically made a big deal about this being “for the fans” since it was announced.
