Obi wan

[Granada]

I am still wondering why he didnt smoke vader.

It is a tv trope I am tired of- Good guy kills 100 bad foot soldiers only to take mercy on the head honcho.

... I have another gripe that I cannot get over- The inconsistent light saber power.
Cuts through a 2 foot thick steel door like butter, bounces off vaders plastic helmet while somehow shattering it later.


on the light saber thing... still love the mandalorian slicing his own leg with his light saber clone.... that is exactly what would happen to me if I fucked around with one.

That drove me nuts. The Inquisitor does that with Reva and Obi Wan does it with Vader. I mean, you would have thought Obi Wan would have learned not to make the same mistake twice after seeing what happened the first time, but nah.

Another thing that irritated me: the Empire has always been obsessed with hunting down Jedi, especially in Rebels, which takes place after Obi Wan. Yet at the end, the Emperor essentially tells Vader not to worry about catching Obi Wan. Seriously? OW is the like the most powerful fucking Jedi out there next to Yoda in the entire galaxy, but nah, just **** it.

Since we've all seen it now, I can't help but post this from Rebels. You'll see how very similar it is to the big moment in this show. Spoilers if you're planning on watching Rebels.

Things I did like in the Obi Wan finale: when Vader/Anakin corrected OW when he apologized and Vader said something like, "you didn't destroy me Obi Wan, I did." That was cool. When Vader says that, his face is blue; but then it quickly turns to red again. Nice touch. Kind of hints that there's still good in him. The "Hello There" OW gives to Luke at the end. When OW says "then my friend is truly dead" to Vader during the duel (Luke says "then my father is truly dead" in ROTJ).

It is interesting how they tie the dialogue like that- the obi wan "hello there" was very cool.

Wow, check this out, this makes so much more sense than what Disney/Kennedy ended up doing with the Reva character. Seriously, how many times are they going to screw things up with re-writes? It's like your classic example of over-thinking or micro-managing.

‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’: Why Darth Vader Was Supposed to Kill Moses Ingram’s Character in Original Script

"We were always faced with the fact that Obi-Wan could never kill Darth Vader," writer Stuart Beattie said. "Reva was my attempt to give him someone to defeat or someone to save."

That makes a ton more sense.

Using reva as a tool fits right in to what the emperor and vader would do.
They are both stronger than she is, so hiding who vader was is not a stretch.

They could have had reva overhear kenobi and vader talking in the first showdown, and have her figure it out and change course then.
It would have made the showdown at the rebel base more interesting and less stupid, both before and after vader showed up.

Sending reva to kill Luke never held any suspense, because we know Owen, beru, and luke would be fine.

The only story purpose that served was to show Owen that Ben was doing his job, and there are a thousand ways to show that.

The only possible explanation for reva continuing is a grand inquisitor showdown somewhere down the line...and to be honest, I want to see kenobi rack up some kills rather than reva.

And she died in that scene. Actually the way she ends up being alive is the same way some said if Kathleen Kennedy ever gets fired they will use that to erase episodes 7-8-9 lol

Haha, that would be too perfect!

As suspected Disney is garbage. Kennedy went nuts when the force wasn’t female enough. New Hollywood very little to watch these days

uh...

1. litte late
2. express your hatred of women in B&I

I must admit that Jar Jar immediately destroyed any hope of liking the prequels, and that really skewed my viewpoint.
I never really gave it much of a chance.

.... And Darth Maul getting bifurcated fed in to my annoyance. He could have been awesome over 3 movies rather than a half of a movie.


I have not watched the clone wars animated series- I didnt know Maul survived until I watched Solo. I hear Maul has a part in the clone wars series.
I am very much hoping Maul comes after Kenobi. (again, I dont know if anything in the clone wars series makes that impossible).

The animated clone wars is amazing. Maul actually does come after Obi Wan in Rebels. Solid series, but not a huge fan of that animation. And I think the prequels get a bad rap, except for Attack of the Clones, which seriously sucked.

Always love the ones that complain about women/race in a space opera with blue & green humanoids.
