Hot Toys MMS437 - Episode III ROTS Anakin Skywalker 1/6 Collectible Figure

[Niltusk]

Would have liked to see Tarkin and Dooku planning evil. Maybe that will happen in the young Obi-Wan movie.

Tarkin was a jerk in the Clone Wars, but very loyal to the Republic, that would be some crazy behind the scenes ret-conning to make him as some sort of conspirator at the time prior to Dooku's death. Not saying they couldn't do it, it just doesn't fit well with my memory of him during the series. I guess he was always anti-Jedi, so there is that they could build from.

Young Obi-Wan movie? Is that confirmed!?


If they don't make a samurai western Obi-Wan movie with Ewan Mcgregor as a middle aged Ben wandering around the barren wastelands of Tatooine and going from port to port fighting off hives of scum and villainy and fending off Sandpeople from attacking his home and maybe shedding light on why him and Incle Owen have beef about young Luke, I'm not interested.

We saw Obi-Wan as a young lad in Episode I. It was okay, but he was too boring because he strictly followed the council's code (Qui-Gon was the rebel, oddly enough). Obi-Wan being a hermit surviving on the harsh desert lands is more interesting than watching yet another youth become a Jedi.

Definitely agree - I would be far more interested in an Obi-wan movie set in the wastelands of Tatooine ... basically a Madmax movie

They could easily have him needing to go into a local village for supplies and then stumbling into a Yojimbo/Fistful of Dollars situation.

I always thought you could have a story where Obi Wan leaves Tatooine to shake the empire off finding Luke. Vader and his sith acolytes spend their time searching for Obi Wan and the other remaining jedi between the movies so it could work.

Great potential for an awesome movie! My only complain would be that we had so much Tatooine (and lookalike Jakku) in 7 movies that I'm really tired of the scenario. And of course I'm tired of sand. I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

Obi-Wan stayed on Tatooine, the Clone Wars series confirmed that. Considering Vader was actively hunting down Jedi survivors for some time and he didn't see Obi-Wan again until the Death Star, it's likely Obi-Wan stayed put.

As of right now, do we know what Jedi actually survived Order 66? Is it just Yoda, Obi-Wan, Kanan Jarrus and Ahsoka Tano? I know Luminara Unduli survived, but was later killed. When the EU was around, there were actually a couple of really powerful Jedi who survived, like Rahm Kota, Shaak Ti and Qu Rahn. I wonder if an Obi-Wan movie would have him using Tatooine to instruct other Jedi to help the Rebellion or go into hiding or something. I guess all these Jedi have to be killed somehow since Luke is the last one before Rey comes along, but still, it would be cool to see some other Jedi survivors.

 

[Khev]

Not that I'm a Clone Wars cartoon advocate by any means but it seems like a live-action Ahsoka spin-off film could really be huge.

 

[RandomHero]

Yeah, I didn't really care for The Clone Wars series very much, but there's a lot of important stuff in there, so it's still integral viewing. I'm going to have to rewatch it at some point. Rebels, I haven't watched yet, just because I never cared for the animated stuff as much.

Ahsoka is a pretty cool character. I'd like to know what ultimately happened to her, since she's one of the only four Jedi survivors we know about, to my knowledge.

Tatooine is out in the middle of nowhere. Nobody cares about that rock and the Imperials don't even go near it until the escape pod crashes there.

You could easily have Obi-Wan doing questionably Jedi things and just chalk it up as not being anything that would attract attention. It's a lawless territory ruled by Hutts and stuff, Obi-Wan could do whatever he wanted and word wouldn't necessarily get out to Vader, the Emperor or the Empire. Most people could write off Old Ben as a myth or a crazy hermit or something.

If you took samurai and westerns as inspiration (much like the original Star Wars in general) along with the drama of Obi-Wan basically forfeiting his life to live on a world he dislikes (parred with the drama that would of course come from Uncle Owen and a young Luke), you'd have a solid 2 hour movie.


You just look at that awesome Sideshow Mythos statue and figure and the gears start spinning. You don't even need to leave Tatooine to have an exciting story, it's all right there. Sandstorms, cantinas, nasty space ports, gangsters, plenty to do in that time frame. When it was announced that there would be solo anthology movies, an Obi-Wan film is the only one that sounded compelling to me.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Why did Obi-Wan just retire and hang out on Tatooine for 20 years anyway? Is that the Jedi way? Not very proactive.

Well Clone Wars animated series was such a great movie, a masterpiece in my opinion - a true definition of epic saga space battle , but I bet old folks here mostly just ignore it due to it was simply a "cartoon show for kid" but it wasnt, and Anakin in this show was a true Jedi Knight, a war hero - people loves him for a reason, not just through Hayden Christensen performance in the PT.

and Ahsoka already "reunited" with her old master through emotional battle in the Rebel... yet her fate was left unknown in the end, but I believe she was finished off by Vader.

Yessiree, sonny.

To watch over Luuke and not get rekt by the Empire.

 

[Wor-Gar]

His whole world gets destroyed, and instead of raising an army -- or even working with the rebellion -- he just chills in his abode sipping tea and waiting for Luke to come of age?

Where's my Balok laugh...?

Because Kenobi and Yoda were not wise at all. They should have teamed up to defeat Anakin and then take down the Emperor, together. But the OT already determined the outcome so.....

 

[Wor-Gar]

Must be why Old Luke now wants to rid the world of Sith AND Jedi.

During OT story meetings it was determined that Ben and Owen were half-brothers so Tatooine was originally just Obi-Wan's home. He wasn't specifically there to watch Luke or anything. He obviously was planning on giving Luke his father's lightsaber but otherwise wasn't ever going to train him until Leia's message arrived. ESB and ROTJ changed that of course because always in motion are the sequels.

..and wonder girl Rey was "chosen" to be an initiator

Yup. They were also cowards.

Obi-Wan not finishing the job and killing Anakin off is probably the most ****ed up thing about all of it. Bro, your old pupil is burning alive, force push him into the lava or stab in the head or somethin'. Jesus


That's not even taking into account how manipulative Obi and Yoda were with Luke, playing deceitful mind games with their "certain points of view". They're lucky Luke didn't come back from Bespin and lob Yoda's head off or take Obi-Wan's old ghostly *** and shove it into a proton pack.

Maybe that's what the force ghost crap is. Yoda, Obi-Wan and Anakin couldn't get to Jedi heaven like everyone else because they were awful people so they have to live in torment in this alternate dimension, JEDI HELL.
