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

You're all weak.

Someone puts themselves out there like this, they deserve their "fame"...

Wasn't that one the result of kids at his school finding that video and posting it online?

I'm sure there's many like that -- especially revenge-sex videos.

But you know, why would you film yourself doing that? And if you did, why would you leave it around for others with malicious intent to find?

I'm sure there's the occasional 'unfair use'... but in general, if you're going to be the "leave Brittany alone" guy, then prepare for the consequences.

LOL

Yes, they were asking for it. But back in the day you weren't immortalized across the planet for it. Maybe it's a harsh lesson learned, or maybe now they can't come back from ... one mistake ... which strikes me as perhaps unnecessarily cruel.

Young boys and men are idiots and sometimes they need time to grow as people.

Of course, we now have a culture where broadly speaking nobody has to grow up because suddenly every space has to be a safe space, which flies in the face of cold reality -- but that's a whole other discussion. I just dislike bullies who hide behind computers and IP addresses. I'm from a time and place where things got sorted out with fists or you kept yo damn mowf shut.

Making fun of others is as ancient as "us vs them"... it IS "us vs them" at its very heart. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds us together. It is Human. Sadly.

For me it still raises all the same tactical questions (why not blast Chewie from the safety of the barge, etc.) and calls into question why he would aim at a shackled Wookiee when a freaking Jedi with a swinging lightsaber is four feet away...

Fett just likes aiming at Chewie and being stopped by a Skywalker. It's kinda his thing.

Pam and Tommy have entered the chat...

Pam and Tommy have entered the chat...

Do you really have sympathy for Pam and Tommy?

 

[jye4ever]

I think ajp will eventually come around to liking BOBF.

Right ajp….

ajp……

 

[ajp4mgs]

I think ajp will eventually come around to liking BOBF.

Maybe under the right kind of "influence."

The more that leaks out about this show, the more I'm convinced that the main objectives of the show are to bring more Filoni cartoon characters and elements to live action and to focus on the new characters that will be introduced and spun off into more D+ SW shows. Kenobi, Tatooine, the Lars and Vader will hit the nostalgia buttons that should convince viewers that they are watching SW.

Kenobi will be a guest on his own namesake show. Cynical view? Perhaps, but after the slapshod way Boba Fett was just presented on his own series, my confidence in D+ SW content is at a real low.

Something Dave Filoni said in the Mando Season 2 art book really made me raise an eyebrow:

"There were a lot of debates about Ahsoka Tano pointing the way to Luke Skywalker. And Jon and I went back and forth, because if Ahsoka can't take care of Grogu, then who will? Taking care of the Child is not her destiny. That's not what I've been planning for her to do [laughs], so I can't change it up. But it is interesting if Ahsoka is there along the way..."

I just found it interesting that it kind of reads like Luke was brought in not because it would make the most sense for him as the only remaining Jedi to be Grogu's teacher but instead was brought in so that Grogu could be dumped on him in order to preserve the all-important path that Filoni wants Ahsoka on. As if the "destiny" of his precious creation takes precedent over even the likes of Luke freaking Skywalker. Like I said it makes perfect sense within the context of the established story why Grogu should go to Luke but there's just something about Filoni's wording above that kind of rubs me the wrong way. *shrugs* Maybe I'm reading too much into it.

What's even more strange is that if Ahsoka couldn't possibly train Grogu due to her "destiny" then BOBF had a funny way of showing it, considering Grogu was with Luke for what a few weeks at most? With Ahsoka herself making an appearance during his training? Even with Filoni's rationale above I'm not sure I see why she couldn't have just been the one to unlock some of Grogu's memories if he was just going to be sent right back to Mando either way.

You are not. Filoni is a False Prophet working tirelessly to bring about The End Times.

Let us pray.

You know, three months ago I never thought I'd ever see this much detail of TMs bod... I think this might be worse than the bacta wrestling match with Black Kristin wearing only Jockeys... ps. I'm not knocking his physical shape for a 60 year old. If he's playing Rex here, it actually fits. If he's playing 40 year old Boba, it would've been best to expose less...of both his bod and his face. #helmeton

They look more like stormtrooper boots, not Boba boots.

Phhhhht I've never seen Ahsoka as all that, so for me Filoni's obsession with her is pretty cringe anyway. Nothing against Dawson either but for me she just doesn't have the presence to make her interesting when she's not fighting.

Then there was the awkward weak covering of Ahsoka "well, I couldn't train Grogu, but Luke can 'coz it's his choice." E.g. having Ahsoka show up in Mando/TBOBF is just advertising to get the general audience used to her, not because she's doing anything useful.
That way for her show they don't have to backtrack and explain everything to anyone who didn't watch CW. Plus they get her to name drop Thrawn.

I can't wait for her own show, so she quits taking up time on other series. As for who could train Grogu - I've been shouted down before, but still think they should've brought another surviving Jedi on board, since *realistically* I doubt ALL Jedi would have been wiped out, and it would have been a chance for a new character instead of all the rehash. Filoni had already opened the door for that kind of thing anyway.

This just struck me as hilarious , but yeah, I get it. It's not like TM is all sagging but geez the Penguin look sprawled on the sands of Tatooine didn't do the character any favors. Then he rolls over and it's kinda, well, as being a prisoner goes, looks like there's plenty there to live off of whether the Tuskens feed him or not. At least for a while.

TM what the hell man!

Actually they look more like Princess Leia boots. What in God's name have they got up their sleeves with this show??
