Obi-Wan Kenobi

[Wtd]

Figured I'd start this thread as the trailer just dropped!

 

 

How's everyone feeling about this one?

Hopefully Obi Wan is a more consistently enjoyable experience than Boba Fett was.

Actually, I think it will be. I believe it's just one director for the entire series and she has worked on a few episodes for The Mandalorian already. It's also just one writer. So I think there will be a lot more consistency in terms of pacing and style. I'm just hoping to God we get some form of a Vader confrontation.

The trailer looks inspiring so hopefully it's a good series. I actually enjoyed the bobba fett series especially the ending. Hopefully with this series we get an insight into darth vader too.

Have you watched the animated series (Clone Wars and Rebels)? There seem to be a lot of references in the trailer and those shows give a ton of background and insight into Anakin, Obi Wan, and the others.

I halfway through Clone Wars. Rebels I finished in about a month. I was very hesitant because it was so kiddish and cartoony. But honestly after the first season, it got darker and the story was so good! I freaking loved it! Rebels was outstanding and its one of the best pieces of Star Wars media out there.

I watched part of clone wars and not watched rebels. Will have to catch up on those.

I really loved Rebels. The Twilight of the Apprentice arc in Rebels is, in my opinion, the best Star Wars storytelling ever (across all films and series). Clone Wars has a lot of filler episodes, you can probably find lists of important episodes to watch to understand certain important arcs.

🥤🤠 does anyone wants to gift ‘Ol Veum a Disney+ subscription so he can watch Obi-Wan Kenobi?! 😆

Have you been able to get through a bit more of Clone Wars? It really starts to get good as you go along.

Clone wars gets incredible.   I absolutely loved it.

I'll be ecstatic if we get Clone Wars/Rebels-level story telling for Obi-Wan and Ahsoka. 

 

I'm really hoping we'll get a continuation of Rebels within Ahsoka. I'd love to learn what happened to Thrawn/Ezra

I think it’s all but confirmed that we’re basically getting a rebels continuation in Ahsoka.   
 

with Filoni as show runner I would think the storytelling would be up to the standards of clone wars/rebels, so I’m cautiously optimistic.

Interesting article about the upcoming Star Wars Disney+ shows.

Happy 45th Anniversary

to the greatest Movie of all time!

4K77 is the best thing that happened to star wars. The original theatrical cut!! Happy 45th anniversary 

[damships]

Obi Wan Kenobi was sooooooo good. Loved it! Can’t wait for Part III. 
 

[Noir21]

I think the same, I liked both chapters, good start to the series👍

[Ari]

It's a good two episodes, lays the ground work. I'm hoping reva the third sister and the action gets better as the show goes ☠️

 

[Gary K]

Episodes 3 and 4 were some of the best Star Wars content I've seen in some time.  I totally got some live action Rebels feels as well.  Well done Deborah Chow.

I think she has settled in nicely now. Some of the action shots are another story though...

I remember enjoying the episodes she directed in The Mandalorian.

 

I'm just having a very hard time with the action scenes. They are either poorly shot, choreographed, directed, or something. I don't know enough about film to really pinpoint it. I doubt it's the director because this had been an issue for a while because it was also apparent in the Book of Boba Fett. They come across as cheesy and it really pulls me out of it sometimes.

 

So far I think this series is okay. Ewan is killing it as expected, but I'm not totally sold on the story yet. I was a little perplexed at Vader just letting Obi-Wan go but rationalized it as him having a greater plan in mind that would be explained in the following episode. They didn't deliver on that though 😕. Maybe that information is still to come...
