Star Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi (tv series)

[Master Boda]

Obi-Wan has never been extremely empathetic, and that's one of the reasons Anakin went to Palaptine to confide his feelings to. It's a character flaw that seems to have always been there.

I don’t think it’s not that OWK is empathetic just a different way of thinking.In ANH OBW sacrificed himself to show Luke that death is a illusion,and in ROTS Master Yoda told Anakin “death is a natural part of life.Rejoice for those around you who transform into the force.Mourn them do not miss them do not.
As far as Anakin,you don’t go to the devil to confide your feelings.Why do you think in AOTC Palaptine wanted OWK to look over Padme,he knew Anakin had feelings for her.

Wow…just saw this image of “Future Star Wars Content”…

I’m sorry but when you have a conveyor belt mentality of “endlessly producing content” I’m not sure how you can possibly maintain quality or cohesiveness….

That’s why Disney is lucky in that they own so many different characters.They throw it against the wall and if it sticks great and if not they have dozens more to throw.Maintaining a flow of money is more important than quality or cohesiveness.

“It’s true! It’s true! We’re so lame!”
- Homer Simpson

That, in fact, is 100% me. Even the tubes for arms and legs is accurate as well as the gargantuan cranium and acidic attitude.

All i'm saying is that better be white cheddar popcorn!!!

Someone mentioned about the Jedi kids that appear in the Disney ‘products’, they all wear the big dome hats

Just had a look over AOTC & ROTS and the only time they wear them is the scene when they are training with the remotes (‘Master Obi Wan has lost a planet, very embarrassing’)

Do these Disney guys not look back over the official stuff, or give a damn

Ol' Pablo has been on Twitter trying to justify the ignorance of canon he and the Kenobi writer seem to be exhibiting. He's trying to say Tatooine was ignorant of Vader because Luke had never heard of him and Luke even wanted to join the Imperial Academy.

Not sure how he could know with certainty that Luke had never heard of Vader but regardless, a farmboy living in the middle of nowhere specifically being sheltered from the Empire is hardly any kind of example to use. And frankly, I think there's a good possibility the "academy" in question is in fact not any Imperial Academy at all, although this seems to be an assumption many make.

Luke point blank says tells Obi-wan that "...it's not that I like the Empire; I hate it..." so it makes little sense that Luke would be begging to leave to join it. I also couldn't imagine Owen and Beru would ever have even entertained the idea of someone as valuable as Luke leaving to venture into the belly of the beast. I suppose one could argue they were just leading him on (errr... just one more season!) and didn't want to directly tell him no for some reason but even their private conversation between the two of them seemed to imply Owen's issues with being shorthanded were genuine and not merely an excuse to keep Luke at home. Beru even seems to be encouraging the notion of letting Luke go, but surely not to the Empire! So I think it's a stretch that the original intent was for the academy to be any kind of Imperial entity.

I'd respond to him, but he blocked me back around when TLJ came out, just because I made some valid points on why Rey was a wasted, and ultimately lame, character compared to some of the female EU characters like Mara Jade and Jaina Solo.

Take a closer look at the opening crawl to TESB...

"Evading the dreaded Imperial Starfleet, a group of freedom fighters led by Luke Skywalker have established a new secret base on the remote ice world of Hoth."

As far as the true nature of the "academy" mentioned in ANH goes, that famous deleted scene provides some details but I suppose it depends on how much credence we can give to it. As I've interpreted it, the academy sounds plausibly like sort of flight school that Luke and Biggs planned to join and then sneak off to join the Alliance before the Empire had a chance to snatch up students and draft them into the Imperial starfleet. If this academy was an Imperial entity, it'd be just a bit... redundant... to draft kids that had already joined up. The scene seems contradictory because it initially sounds like Biggs has already been drafted into the (Imperial?) starfleet... but then he later says he's not going to wait around for the Empire to draft him into service. One could infer perhaps that there was some other starfleet, perhaps one more local, although whatever designs GL originally had for that has seemingly been lost to time. I always thought the scene was interesting but not sure it's actually canon or what exactly George originally intended.

Even regardless of that scene, I still contend it seems odd the Lars' would even entertain the idea of Luke going off to join the Empire, regardless of whether he intended to defect or not.

As for Luke not reacting one way or the other when Obi-wan mentions Darth Vader, I agree that one could infer he had never heard of him but my original point is simply that Luke is not a reliable barometer to how much your average Tatooinian knows.

All thoughts about the show aside, this is legitimately adorable.

It's great to know these poor kids were never afforded a childhood. Always at the mercy of someone's war and the threat of death around every corner. In fact there are so many stories about these same characters that I'm convinced they’ve never known peace. Turmoil is the norm for them. How uplifting.

Luke mentions he's been in starfleet to long. And Biggs says their going to jump ship as soon as their frigate leaves. So it suggest he's in a military capacity.

Having revisited the cut scenes with Biggs, I do have it say that it was a GOOD thing George cut them.

The actor who played Biggs was wooden at best and delivered his lines with same level of blandness as Vitamin Water. “It will be just like old times, Luke…They’ll never stop us…”

Also, Hamill’s performance as Luke just seems “off” when playing against Biggs…his voice even has a slightly strange “hillbilly” sound to it in those scenes complete with lot’s of high-pitched “whoops” and “shrieks” that were part of the strange “Southern Bootlegger School of Acting” zeitgeist of the 1970’s that have long fallen by the wayside. I refer to it as “Smokey and the Bandit Fever” (Think of Dirk Benedict as Starbuck and Harrison Ford as early Han Solo…both of them were struck-down with the fever: “Yeeee - haaaaw!!”).

Oh no…

An awful thought just hit me.

Disney+ is going to do a Biggs Darklighter series, aren’t they???

The padawan in Fortress Inquisitorious (say that three times in a mirror and an Inquisitor appears behind you) could've been staged as a trophy. In museums we often see life like recreations of humans and stuffed preserved animals that are staged (often with props) to depict a snapshot of a moment in time. If it's a trophy room the helmet could've been added to the padawan and body posed to depict when the Jedi temple was attacked. Morbid as hell but that seems to be what they're going for with a giant room of dead(?) Jedi. I suspect there's more to it than that to tie it in to the Mandalorian and the Palpatine cloning projects. Point is the fact that the youngling was wearing a saber training helmet isn't exactly a sign of incompetence IMO.

That's nothing! They already have a 'This R2 unit of yours, seems a bit beat up' guy series in development.

That’s about right for lots of threads on this site

Having been in the 501st and having spent hundreds of hours in Stormtrooper armor I can say they sure have trimmed that leg armor since (or before, whichever way you want to look at it) ANH. There is a ton more space between the hip armor and the thigh armor, and the thigh armor and calf armor. Which does make sense because the way it originally was, you could barely bend your legs, much less sit down. To this day I am still wondering what trickery they used for Han to sit down like he did in the control room on the Death Star.

Maybe he sat down while they affixed the whole leg thingy on him
