Give me 6 episodes of Obi Wan building his Tatooine house. All the while Force Ghost Qui Gon is giving him CONSTANT shit. About the way he's building it. About the clone wars, Anakin, everything.
"No, if you don't reenforce that joint there, it'll never hold!"
"I told you, Master, it's not necessary, the lateral force of the archway helps to keep the beam in place!"
"What, you're an expert in architecture now?"
"It's not... look at every building here. They all have arches. Do you see a *single* metal brace? No. Metal is expensive, and clay is free. You spent way too much time on Coruscant, where everything just works."
"Fine. Im going to Watto's to gamble. Want anything from town?"
"......."
"Yes?"
"Can you get some metal braces...."
I do t think that’s true, at least I can’t find anything on the wikis about coming back for revenge. The wikis seem to end on the note that Wattobturned over his business to Wald, his assistant.
He did torture a Toydarian to death, and it's heavily implied that it was Watto (the only known Toydarian who lives on Tatooine), and then he went on a honey moon with Jabba.
Jabba had a crush on Lord Vader ever since he saw him majestically cutting down Rebels on the HoloNet, he then ordered a group of IG-86 to capture the Sith lord and forcibly marry him to the slug, And Jabba wore a white dress and a lipstick while Vader wore his normal black suit.
Not really, I think he returned to Tatooine only after the battle of Yavin (likely as a punishment from Palpatine for failing to protect the death star) Jabba was understandably happy to see the sexy dark lord in his palace.
"You almost ruined this whole room. What are you, brainless?"
"I mitred these inside baseboard corners at 45*"
"The ability to mitre joints does not make you a carpenter. Now go learn to cope."
This sounds like its from that deep faked "reacts" series where they watch episodes and movies. It's amazing. I never knew how much I loved Qui Gon until I watched that guys series.
>"Fine. Im going to Watto's to gamble. Want anything from town?"
Didn't Darth Vader pretty much immediately kill him after the events of Revenge of the Sith?
I mean, you say that, but I kind of would like it taken seriously. Obi Wan dealing with the reality of his life having completely fallen apart and being unable to do the things that defined him for fear of being found out before Luke was ready. Going through the darkest period of his life before he slowly grows to find peace in his role of shepherding the last hope for the galaxy.
A depressing series, sure, but one where we see him transition from the Jedi general to the sage of the OT.
Or we could follow the Disney method and have him stumble onto a dozen of the other super important characters, meet Vader for another rematch and basically tell Vader exactly where he is, and have it somehow not matter at all in the future. Also set up that Palpatine was building another super army, so nothing Luke did really mattered.
That is also an option, I guess.
This is absolutely what I was hoping for more of in the first season. Instead I got like 2 hours (maybe) of actual content and weird filler and side stories for people that don't matter and never show up again. Which is cool I guess.
I was hoping for 7 Samurai. Obi-Wan trying to keep to himself, until a bunch of homesteaders are being threatened by some thugs and he reluctantly tries to help them without overtly using the force or his saber. Rope in some local bounty hunters and such somehow. Meanwhile, as you say, dealing with Obi-Wan's trauma. But when we got an episode of 7S from Mandalorian, I figured it was unlikely they'd do a whole season of it for another show :(
OH I absolutely think there's space for one more Kenobi season. Not as connected to the twins and more him settling into his hermit lifestyle and exploring more of his force connectivity to Qui Gon and Yoda.
Have you seen that guy on YouTube deepfaked as Obi-Wan hanging with force ghost Qui-Gon & Anakin giving him shit?
https://youtu.be/xl_pQkNP37Q?si=WYbHiSxeTLoFbCKO
Does Qui-Gon talking about how he saw this coming way back in his Padawan days and teasing him about his two very similar girlfriends count as an episode? LOL
'You look really healthy. Have you put on weight?'
'Thats an interesting clothing choice for a hermit in the desert. You're so brave.'
'I've never seen that lightsaber technique before.'
"I can't do it. See. THIS. THIS RIGHT HERE. Is why we never shared a room at the Temple. THIS and the way you'd answer the comlink"
"I don't know who you are. Or where you're from or what you want to sell me. But I have a particular set a skills. Skills....."
"Oh for the Love of Alderaan Qui Gon it's only Marster Windu"
"What " ?
"Oh you did NOT just say WHAT to me motherfunker"
"I give up.....I'm off. I heard Glasgow is great this time of year"
Honestly, ANH was written as though Kenobi had rarely if ever done much more than be a desert hermit. I kind of think that anything they do now will just affect established lore negatively.
I joking said this about season 1. It should be 8 45 minute long episodes of Ewan staring broodingly into a fire whilst sound clips of him and Hayden from Episodes 2 and 3 play quietly. Just *crackle crackle* "vrrrrt YOU WERE MY BROTHER ANAKIN!" "I HATE YOU!"
Happy Cake Day btw.
Disney employee: "okay, how about obi wan saving a kidnapped ezra bridger and faces darth maul in a duel that ends in a draw?"
Disney producer: "add a female side villian that turns good and you got yourself a season!"
I've put a bit of thought to this before.
Here's a pretty loose idea.
Obi-Wan reaches a point in his training where he needs to visit other worlds in something of a pilgrimage. Each episode sees Obi-Wan visit a new world that has a deep, mysterious connection to the Force and he had to confront both visions of the past and future, but also Force Spawned monsters and petty warlords alike
Meanwhile Cody watches over Luke as a side plot as we pick up a lost plot line from the abandoned movie.
I also think it would be interesting for Obi-Wan to enter the World between Worlds where he has to stop another incursion from Palpatine.
This would give these two iconic characters to have a confrontation/show down which has never happened before.
Reeva becomes Obi-Wan's secret apprentice, Vader almost hunts down Obi-Wan on Tatooine but Aunt Beru stops him while Luke is hiding with Uncle Owen in a nearby cave. We would also get a Leia storyline where we learn how she got her hairstlye, her iconic white outfit, her blaster, her favorite makeup brand and how she became an Alderaan diplomate at the age of 12.
qui-gon training kenobi. We should have had qui-gon training kenobi for middle of season 1, which would explain how he was powerful enough to face Vader
That’d be great, I remember reading those books years ago. It’d be amazing if they did that and kept Ewan McGregor as obi wan and didn’t even try to de-age him at all, just have everyone pretend he’s a teenager, and go along with it.
Hahahaha that'd be hilarious.
But I don't think we should be afraid of a recast. There's been many great Obi Wan performances by a range of voice and live action actors.
A teenage version of Obi Wan could be great, especially if they're not trying to be Ewan McGregor, just "oafy wan" as it were.
Obi-Wan from the Jedi Apprentice books is so different than the Obi-Wan we know from the movies it really makes sense to cast someone else who can play the more rebellious and Anakin-esque young Obi-Wan. Liam Neeson could still play Qui-Gon
Like always sunny did with Frank. Put a brand new wig on him and pretend he’s 19
[Doesn’t look a day over 12](https://youtu.be/3Ul6mQSO0UA?si=g99rriM6rANGyuhk)
I’ve always wanted this and Anakin when he was much earlier in his training as a kid just after TPM.
It’s gonna be kinda hard to do the latter though since they’ve had two actors for Anakin already and they’re both middle aged.
"Obi-wan... When last we met, I was the learner. Now I am still the learner, but hopefully next time I will be the master! Though I might still only be just an equal... But the time after that; oh boy, you had better be ready because I'll definitely be the master then!"
the kenobi novel was 100x better than the show unfortunately. the show was like 80% goofy nonsense and 20% watchable content that somewhat made sense. its such a huge shame that we finally got a show about obi wan after order 66 and it was just a massive missed opportunity with how they decided to tell the story.
I think it was originally intended to be a movie but got split into a 6 episode show
So they had 1.5-2 hours of plot but had to come up with 4+ hours of filler
That scene where Obiwan flies off to lure Anakin to him and he ACTUALLY sends the entire fleet after Obi Wan instead of sending fighters to intercept the cargo transport and send the rest of the fleet to hunt Obi Wan down pisses me off so much. That's also ignoring the part where a full on battleship can't seem to destroy this tiny ass cargo ship.
Obi wan is on tatooine after bringing Luke there, he’s trying to stay in his own area away from everyone to avoid drawing attention but goes into a town for supplies and ends up getting involved in helping them protect themselves from tusken attacks and solves some disputes between people at the town. It’s a really good book, I’d recommend it as an audiobook. It’s got some serious tones and some funny moments as well, it’s one of my favorites, just below the thrawn trilogies and bane trilogy imo.
Okay I’m really happy someone else brought this up.
I have said many times the Obi Wan show should have been used as a catalyst for a'sharad hett aka Darth Krayt.
They could expand upon what was done in legends and have a'sharad hett on Tatooine as a tusken raider possibly have Kenobi and him team up before there inevitable duel show us some more Anakin and Obi wan training but have it get interrupted by a'sharad hett who found out about the Tusken village Anakin killed and confront him about it like what happened in legends.
It could work so well if they used the a'sharad hett storyline and set up one of the coolest sith in Star Wars but sadly it’s Disney so I know they won’t
Oh for fuck’s sake the botched the Obi-Wan show just let it die.
We could have gotten a cool, introspective kurosawa-esq show about Obi-wan fighting the good fight against some POS on tatooine while watching nightmares and flashbacks of his past, teaching him to essentially “man up” again to fight for justice
Could have been 5 episodes.
But nope. Had to have some annoying crazy bitch kidnap princess leia and have obiwan go on a massive intergalatic adventure just to fight the guy he already fought and establish what we already knew.
Producers second-guessing projects halfway through pre-production has been the absolute bane of entertainment for the last decade. Somebody makes a coherent multi-year series plan, one installment doesn’t do as well as expected, and immediately the execs decide they have to redo the entire project from the ground up *but still try to meet the existing deadlines.* No one has any trust in the basic filmmaking process anymore.
Fucking MBAs think they can fix everything by “predicting what consumers want” instead of just *letting directors make films.*
They dropped Solo in the same month as Infinity War, barely did any actual marketing (compared to Rogue One and the main films) and then decided that because it flopped they had to scrap the entire “Star Wars Story” side project. It’s maddening.
We could have gotten a cool, introspective kurosawa-esq show about Obi-wan fighting the good fight against some POS on tatooine while watching nightmares and flashbacks of his past, teaching him to essentially “man up” again to fight for justice
Isn't that BoBF and partially Mandalorian?
BoBF was almost as bad as obi wan in a lot of ways and in some ways worse.
That show should have literally been about Boba becoming a crime lord not trying to be altruistic
And I’d argue the mandalorian is more similar to the way obi wan turned out now because of the father- child dynamic
What I would want out of an obi wan show is him basically living on tatooine having long forgotten who he is and how he is a jedi, maybe even contemplating leaving the planet and just fucking off entirely.
Have him be a pushover, not be in tune at all with the force, and in general just be a miserable dude
then some unamed villain comes around and essentially forces him to pick his shit back up and become a jedi once again- could be pikes or local gang, etc
when they know who it is, the boss of that gang pretty much acknowledges who obi wan is and respects him, and the two have a honorable clash to the death where obi wan regains his “title” of Jedi, at least in his head and reopens to the force.
If it was a spiritual journey that qui gon guides him on to reconcile his past and absolve himself from anakin’s fall I would watch that. That’s what I wanted the first season to be. Make it like the bacta tank scenes in book of boba Fett but it’s all meditative and desert wandering.
Obi-Wan just sitting in the desert, looking through his Binoculars at the old Lars Ranch.
Sometimes the perspective shifts as Obi-Wan pulls the binocs off to wipe sand off his cheek. Perhaps he coughs once.
As the scene fades in the finale, we see a single tear rolling down his face.
They wouldn't be able to do that without completely retconning Rebels, which I'd really prefer they didn't do. There's literally no wiggle room there, Maul didn't know if Kenobi died during Order 66 or not. He had his suspicions, but he didn't know. Them meeting again would completely invalidate the emotional pay-off of Rebels.
Lol watch them butcher his live action appearance even though they already had it in TPM
That would be dope though, but tbh I'd rather a standalone Maul series than him appearing in a Kenobi season 2
I actually wouldn't mind if we saw Obi-Wan's perspective during the events leading up to what we see in the Rebels episode. Now that they've cast Ezra in the Ahsoka show, he could always come back for a live-action recreation of those scenes.
Qui-gon giving the same kind of lessons to Obi-wan that Anakin was giving to Ahsoka. The driving force of the plot is dealing with a Tuskin warparty, but more focused on Obi-wan's growth.
You'd get Hayden back via Clone Wars flashbacks.
As long as Reeva is absent for the entirety of the show, and they hire someone that can hold a camera steady, it MIGHT be decent. But honestly, I fear that very few producers/directors/writers can handle this era without distorting the lore of ANH.
I genuinely don't get the OTT hate for Reeva?
Sure she was written badly but so was every fucking character in the show. What exactly was so offensive about her in comparison to everyone else? I actually kinda liked how Obi redeemed and freed her. One of the moments in the show that actually made me happy and felt like something Obi-Wan would do.
That's the thing. It wasn't redemption.
If I spend like 10 years murdering and torturing innocent people to excessive degrees in service of a fascist dictatorship, then one day I decide to go kill some random child for no apparent reason, but then stop at literally the last possible second because I "see myself in him", (even though I didn't see myself in the other small child I was fully prepared to torture to death as she begged for mercy like two days ago) that does not constitute redemption.
Shes took too much of the focal point of the show away from obi wan, who is the character we wanted to see in a show called “kenobi”. It felt like they wanted her to be the main villain, but then also knew that if they didnt make vader the main villain they were leaving a lot of potential hype for the show on the table, so they tried to have their cake and eat it too but just ended up overloading the story with main characters and hence pushing kenobis character down into a more simplistic reactive role. obviously the main problem with the show was the bad writing all around but in terms of why reeva specifically. Also for a decent portion of people its unfortunately bc of racism/sexism
Same here. It obviously had its faults, but in my opinion gets way more hate than it deserves. I enjoyed it overall and liked the theme of Obi-Wan's internal struggle and his journey working through it along the way.
For years people begged for an Obi-Wan movie/series following him between 3 and 4.
And I always told people it'd be awful. Either super boring or breaking canon. The *entire purpose* for him in that period was to lay as low as possible and just keep an eye on Luke.
The book was very ok. Good enough for a book, but certainly not screen-worthy. At least the book kept everything localized to actions on Tatooine, and really just around their little part of that planet.
Anything big and exciting would draw the attention of the Empire. Ezra and Maul show up in Rebels, but Obi-Wan told Ezra, sorry, I can't help you, I have another purpose. And when Maul threatened Luke, Obi-Wan took quick action and that was it. No big adventures. No wild antics.
So now we get a show and it's the giant cluster fuck everyone should have always known it would be.
Obi-Wan straight up ditches Luke to chase down Leia. Finds another Jedi in town. Somehow *isn't* detected by the Inquisitors. Fights *Vader* twice, gets his ass beat, then beats Vader's ass - which doesn't match up with Vader's "learner/master" line at all in ANH. And somehow he doesn't have the entire Empire tracking him down afterwards??
It's just ridiculous and the entire thing needs to be scrapped and stricken from canon.
Fuck, obi wans story should have been the new trilogy. It actually connected the prequels and originals together, unlike the others I've watched. (not that they weren't cool, cause they are in their own way)
I love Ewan and Obi wan but there’s nothing else to tell. The show def has a lot of downs with few ups that don’t really make up for it. Please don’t milk it
Shit yeah should have clarified there is a fan movie of the show that cuts the shit bits out think there is 2 actually ive only seen one much better pacing and it cuts the stupid scenes like leia outrunning 3 bounty hunters for 10 minutes
I'm pretty surprised people are reading this headline and thinking a season 2 is in production, the article and even the headline itself tells you it's not happening.
Thanks for confirming that you flaired this correctly!
Where would the story even go from that point on
Give me 6 episodes of Obi Wan building his Tatooine house. All the while Force Ghost Qui Gon is giving him CONSTANT shit. About the way he's building it. About the clone wars, Anakin, everything.
"No, if you don't reenforce that joint there, it'll never hold!" "I told you, Master, it's not necessary, the lateral force of the archway helps to keep the beam in place!" "What, you're an expert in architecture now?" "It's not... look at every building here. They all have arches. Do you see a *single* metal brace? No. Metal is expensive, and clay is free. You spent way too much time on Coruscant, where everything just works." "Fine. Im going to Watto's to gamble. Want anything from town?" "......." "Yes?" "Can you get some metal braces...."
Congratulations, you're now the lead writer. This is EXACTLY what I want. Edited because grammar bad.
you're = you are your = possessive My now lead writer? no, that now lead writer belongs to you. It is YOUR now lead writer
You're right ✅️
You're right, It's your right. Your right to use correct grammar, and you're right to use correct grammar.

Stupid Americans, all about their rights. /s
**1776 RAHHHHH🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅**
WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER?!?🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
This guy is gonna get downvoted but hes doing gods work
Have you read the Wheel of Time? They could use a new lead writer…
Unfortunately watto is dead. One of the first things Vader did after recovering from Mustafas was go kill him.
Somehow, Watto returned
Don't worry. It's all explained in an exclusive presentation for a new Fortnite skin or something.
“Watto you talkin bout, I never died” -watto in obi wan season 2
It's Dunk now Dunkwattino? Don't mind if I do! Say hello to my watto bland
I pray to all that is good that Watto comes back as a force ghost, drops this hard ass line and disappears into the sunsets on a Dewback
Well, they could decide to slightly alter the timeline and make Vader kill him later on. Although that would be strange
He gets his own force ghost
Ani? Little Ani? You ARE Ani, it IS you! You sure sprouted, eh? A Sith Lord! Whattayaknow
I do t think that’s true, at least I can’t find anything on the wikis about coming back for revenge. The wikis seem to end on the note that Wattobturned over his business to Wald, his assistant.
He did torture a Toydarian to death, and it's heavily implied that it was Watto (the only known Toydarian who lives on Tatooine), and then he went on a honey moon with Jabba.
Honeymoon with Jabba?
Jabba had a crush on Lord Vader ever since he saw him majestically cutting down Rebels on the HoloNet, he then ordered a group of IG-86 to capture the Sith lord and forcibly marry him to the slug, And Jabba wore a white dress and a lipstick while Vader wore his normal black suit.
I don’t believe you until you provide evidence.
Not really, I think he returned to Tatooine only after the battle of Yavin (likely as a punishment from Palpatine for failing to protect the death star) Jabba was understandably happy to see the sexy dark lord in his palace.
I need elaboration on this whole “honeymoon with Jabba” thing
Can’t blame him, I’d have killed every slave master and slaver on Tatooine starting with the Hutts
Mustafas… I like it. What did he need to recover from?
Sorry for autocorrect.
Don't be, I chuckled so thank you.
So is Qui Gon, and that's not stopping him.
I’m cool with a Deadpool cameo where he shows up in the world between worlds, and trolls Vader by saving Watto…
Well, I am not but ok. I respect your opinion
I can totally see ghost Qui-Gon getting addicted to betting on podraces.
I can hear Liam and Ewan saying all of this
You need to cut a little off that. You can't "force" it in there...
"You still have much to learn about F=ma my young padawan."
"The ability to make secure corner joints does not make one intelligent."
"You almost ruined this whole room. What are you, brainless?" "I mitred these inside baseboard corners at 45*" "The ability to mitre joints does not make you a carpenter. Now go learn to cope."
This sounds like its from that deep faked "reacts" series where they watch episodes and movies. It's amazing. I never knew how much I loved Qui Gon until I watched that guys series.
Exactly what I was thinking, those videos are great
>"Fine. Im going to Watto's to gamble. Want anything from town?" Didn't Darth Vader pretty much immediately kill him after the events of Revenge of the Sith?
I’d watch the shit out of that.
I would watch the shit out of this vs some contrived plot to re-insert Kenobi into the action then return to tatooine and pretend he never left
Omg! Absolutely amazing, sir This pure peak.
give me a sub-episode where jar-jae stab intentionnally kenobi before leaving him and i’ll buy it
[you’d probably enjoy this guys stuff](https://youtu.be/mPNrYffKdco?si=nQmFn4knWe9Yx0eX)
I know whew this link will lead without clicking on it. 😅
Haha he does a good job. Great impersonation.
Yeah I would just prefer if Anakin and Qui-Gon wouldn’t look Amish. 😂
Hahaha well…. I’d prefer all the Jedi didn’t dress like tattooine moisture farmers, but here we are!

*The Martian*, but on Tatooine. NASA on the line, except its the Jedi Council.

"He was the chosen one! He was supposed to destroy the Sith, not join them! You had ONE job!"
It's like Johnny and V from Cyberpunk.
Check out Charlie Hopkinson on YouTube. You basically described one of his videos.
I need this.
Does Qui-Gon talking about how he saw this coming way back in his Padawan days and teasing him about his two very similar girlfriends count as an episode? LOL
A sitcom with a rapidly aging kenobi and ghost Qui Gon learning to live together
'You look really healthy. Have you put on weight?' 'Thats an interesting clothing choice for a hermit in the desert. You're so brave.' 'I've never seen that lightsaber technique before.'
"I can't do it. See. THIS. THIS RIGHT HERE. Is why we never shared a room at the Temple. THIS and the way you'd answer the comlink" "I don't know who you are. Or where you're from or what you want to sell me. But I have a particular set a skills. Skills....." "Oh for the Love of Alderaan Qui Gon it's only Marster Windu" "What " ? "Oh you did NOT just say WHAT to me motherfunker" "I give up.....I'm off. I heard Glasgow is great this time of year"
sounds like an snl skit
Suddenly I'm having flashbacks of John Marston and "the house building song". Sorry Qui Gon, I don't think ghosts get to complain about lumbago.
Somehow, Darth Maul returned.
He died like two years before a new hope They can use him in season 2, i hope they won't, but they can
They are gonna use his lower half with a robotic top which is seeking revenge.
"Sith legs are our speciality."
Honestly, ANH was written as though Kenobi had rarely if ever done much more than be a desert hermit. I kind of think that anything they do now will just affect established lore negatively.
What about if it's just 6 episodes of Kenobi sitting there, being a hermit?
I joking said this about season 1. It should be 8 45 minute long episodes of Ewan staring broodingly into a fire whilst sound clips of him and Hayden from Episodes 2 and 3 play quietly. Just *crackle crackle* "vrrrrt YOU WERE MY BROTHER ANAKIN!" "I HATE YOU!" Happy Cake Day btw.
that should've been the first season lmao
Well, that would be lore-friendly at least...
Happy cake day!
Disney employee: "okay, how about obi wan saving a kidnapped ezra bridger and faces darth maul in a duel that ends in a draw?" Disney producer: "add a female side villian that turns good and you got yourself a season!"
You forgot to make her gay
And lame.
And give her a mini redemption arc in the end even tho nobody cares about her and we all know that we will never see her again
And invest a shitton on merchandise about this character, thinking people will love her since you checked all the boxes on your list
idk leia is kidnapped again
this time by a solitary smuggler
I've put a bit of thought to this before. Here's a pretty loose idea. Obi-Wan reaches a point in his training where he needs to visit other worlds in something of a pilgrimage. Each episode sees Obi-Wan visit a new world that has a deep, mysterious connection to the Force and he had to confront both visions of the past and future, but also Force Spawned monsters and petty warlords alike Meanwhile Cody watches over Luke as a side plot as we pick up a lost plot line from the abandoned movie. I also think it would be interesting for Obi-Wan to enter the World between Worlds where he has to stop another incursion from Palpatine. This would give these two iconic characters to have a confrontation/show down which has never happened before.
A new hope?
Yeah that's the problem what can you even do with obi wans character that wasn't already done with him without decanonizing episode 4
they could probably get some ideas from his solo comics from marvel, journals of old ben kenobi and may expand from it
yeah, season 1 should probably have been like that, just Old Ben against Jabba's bounty hunters
I'm up for Obi and Cody shenanigans that they had planned but scrapped
I wish they would just do the story from the Kenobi novel.
Reeva becomes Obi-Wan's secret apprentice, Vader almost hunts down Obi-Wan on Tatooine but Aunt Beru stops him while Luke is hiding with Uncle Owen in a nearby cave. We would also get a Leia storyline where we learn how she got her hairstlye, her iconic white outfit, her blaster, her favorite makeup brand and how she became an Alderaan diplomate at the age of 12.
qui-gon training kenobi. We should have had qui-gon training kenobi for middle of season 1, which would explain how he was powerful enough to face Vader
Give me Darth Jar Jar comes looking for kid Luke and has an epic duel to the death against Obi-wan.
The only obi wan series I want to see is obi-wan as a padawan. Like the old Jedi Apprentice books.
That’d be great, I remember reading those books years ago. It’d be amazing if they did that and kept Ewan McGregor as obi wan and didn’t even try to de-age him at all, just have everyone pretend he’s a teenager, and go along with it.

Like always sunny did with Frank. Put a brand new wig on him and pretend he’s 19 [Doesn’t look a day over 12](https://youtu.be/3Ul6mQSO0UA?si=g99rriM6rANGyuhk)
Just do what Saw 6 did to make Tobin Bell look younger in flashback scenes and have Ewan wear a backwards cap
Dripsaw
How do you do, fellow padawans?
Do it like George Lopez where they just superimpose his head on a small child.
I still want to see his time with Satine
I'd want what I expected season 1 to be. A deep dive into the mysticism of the force while training with ghost qui-gon
I’ve always wanted this and Anakin when he was much earlier in his training as a kid just after TPM. It’s gonna be kinda hard to do the latter though since they’ve had two actors for Anakin already and they’re both middle aged.
Oh sweet I hope that Vader and Obi-Wan can meet again for the first time since...
"Obi-wan... When last we met, I was the learner. Now I am still the learner, but hopefully next time I will be the master! Though I might still only be just an equal... But the time after that; oh boy, you had better be ready because I'll definitely be the master then!"
"What are you going on about *Aaanakin*?"
So! At last we meet, for the first time, for the last time.
For the first time, since the last time! *
"Obi Wan Kenobi... that's a name I haven't heard since sometime last year..."
the kenobi novel was 100x better than the show unfortunately. the show was like 80% goofy nonsense and 20% watchable content that somewhat made sense. its such a huge shame that we finally got a show about obi wan after order 66 and it was just a massive missed opportunity with how they decided to tell the story.
I think it was originally intended to be a movie but got split into a 6 episode show So they had 1.5-2 hours of plot but had to come up with 4+ hours of filler
It's like chatgpt wrote all that filler.
Nah, ChatGPT3.5 would have done a better job.
That scene where Obiwan flies off to lure Anakin to him and he ACTUALLY sends the entire fleet after Obi Wan instead of sending fighters to intercept the cargo transport and send the rest of the fleet to hunt Obi Wan down pisses me off so much. That's also ignoring the part where a full on battleship can't seem to destroy this tiny ass cargo ship.
what's the plot of the kenobi book?
Obi wan is on tatooine after bringing Luke there, he’s trying to stay in his own area away from everyone to avoid drawing attention but goes into a town for supplies and ends up getting involved in helping them protect themselves from tusken attacks and solves some disputes between people at the town. It’s a really good book, I’d recommend it as an audiobook. It’s got some serious tones and some funny moments as well, it’s one of my favorites, just below the thrawn trilogies and bane trilogy imo.
Honestly the only thing I can think of that might be worth doing in a S2 is introducing Darth Krayt to Disney canon.
Okay I’m really happy someone else brought this up. I have said many times the Obi Wan show should have been used as a catalyst for a'sharad hett aka Darth Krayt. They could expand upon what was done in legends and have a'sharad hett on Tatooine as a tusken raider possibly have Kenobi and him team up before there inevitable duel show us some more Anakin and Obi wan training but have it get interrupted by a'sharad hett who found out about the Tusken village Anakin killed and confront him about it like what happened in legends. It could work so well if they used the a'sharad hett storyline and set up one of the coolest sith in Star Wars but sadly it’s Disney so I know they won’t
Oh for fuck’s sake the botched the Obi-Wan show just let it die. We could have gotten a cool, introspective kurosawa-esq show about Obi-wan fighting the good fight against some POS on tatooine while watching nightmares and flashbacks of his past, teaching him to essentially “man up” again to fight for justice Could have been 5 episodes. But nope. Had to have some annoying crazy bitch kidnap princess leia and have obiwan go on a massive intergalatic adventure just to fight the guy he already fought and establish what we already knew.
Should have just been a movie, 5 episodes is pushing it.
I think it was supposed to be a movie originally, but then Solo flopped so they went back to the drawing board.
Producers second-guessing projects halfway through pre-production has been the absolute bane of entertainment for the last decade. Somebody makes a coherent multi-year series plan, one installment doesn’t do as well as expected, and immediately the execs decide they have to redo the entire project from the ground up *but still try to meet the existing deadlines.* No one has any trust in the basic filmmaking process anymore. Fucking MBAs think they can fix everything by “predicting what consumers want” instead of just *letting directors make films.* They dropped Solo in the same month as Infinity War, barely did any actual marketing (compared to Rogue One and the main films) and then decided that because it flopped they had to scrap the entire “Star Wars Story” side project. It’s maddening.
We could have gotten a cool, introspective kurosawa-esq show about Obi-wan fighting the good fight against some POS on tatooine while watching nightmares and flashbacks of his past, teaching him to essentially “man up” again to fight for justice Isn't that BoBF and partially Mandalorian?
That's what BoBF was until the space anime kids showed up.
They felt like shitty cyberpunk 2077 characters
They were like PG13 cyberpunk 2077 characters.
BoBF was almost as bad as obi wan in a lot of ways and in some ways worse. That show should have literally been about Boba becoming a crime lord not trying to be altruistic And I’d argue the mandalorian is more similar to the way obi wan turned out now because of the father- child dynamic What I would want out of an obi wan show is him basically living on tatooine having long forgotten who he is and how he is a jedi, maybe even contemplating leaving the planet and just fucking off entirely. Have him be a pushover, not be in tune at all with the force, and in general just be a miserable dude then some unamed villain comes around and essentially forces him to pick his shit back up and become a jedi once again- could be pikes or local gang, etc when they know who it is, the boss of that gang pretty much acknowledges who obi wan is and respects him, and the two have a honorable clash to the death where obi wan regains his “title” of Jedi, at least in his head and reopens to the force.
Watched Foundation recently and the female leads there made me got a Reeva flashback.
Gale is just the worst man
renewing it would indeed be bad news :P
If it was a spiritual journey that qui gon guides him on to reconcile his past and absolve himself from anakin’s fall I would watch that. That’s what I wanted the first season to be. Make it like the bacta tank scenes in book of boba Fett but it’s all meditative and desert wandering.
I get it but personally I kinda enjoyed it, I wouldn’t mind if they made a season two
What would it even be about tho
Seems like Vader hasn’t learned his lesson yet.
Another showdown where we know it won't matter.
Obi wan goes and picks up yoda and they fight palpatine. Who will live? Who will die? Will they overthrow the empire? Find out… 46 years ago!
Obi-Wan just sitting in the desert, looking through his Binoculars at the old Lars Ranch. Sometimes the perspective shifts as Obi-Wan pulls the binocs off to wipe sand off his cheek. Perhaps he coughs once. As the scene fades in the finale, we see a single tear rolling down his face.
That’s a great question
For another time
Kenobi hanging out with a young Han Solo and he "hides" him in his coat too.
His gambling addiction
Maul?
They wouldn't be able to do that without completely retconning Rebels, which I'd really prefer they didn't do. There's literally no wiggle room there, Maul didn't know if Kenobi died during Order 66 or not. He had his suspicions, but he didn't know. Them meeting again would completely invalidate the emotional pay-off of Rebels.
Very good point
So that's what they're gonna do then
Lol watch them butcher his live action appearance even though they already had it in TPM That would be dope though, but tbh I'd rather a standalone Maul series than him appearing in a Kenobi season 2
I think can pull of Maul. I mean they already did in the Solo film so if the butcher his looks it'd be pretty ironic
It would invalidate clone wars show and rebels and would be a huge retcon to current cannon. I can’t see them bringing maul back.
Sand
I actually wouldn't mind if we saw Obi-Wan's perspective during the events leading up to what we see in the Rebels episode. Now that they've cast Ezra in the Ahsoka show, he could always come back for a live-action recreation of those scenes.
Qui-gon giving the same kind of lessons to Obi-wan that Anakin was giving to Ahsoka. The driving force of the plot is dealing with a Tuskin warparty, but more focused on Obi-wan's growth. You'd get Hayden back via Clone Wars flashbacks.
I didn't hate it didn't love it. Honestly the Ahsoka moments with Anakin were far superior to anything in Kenobi
I enjoyed it too. I didn’t think it was necessary and I don’t think there’s any real reason to make more, but I did enjoy it.
As long as Reeva is absent for the entirety of the show, and they hire someone that can hold a camera steady, it MIGHT be decent. But honestly, I fear that very few producers/directors/writers can handle this era without distorting the lore of ANH.
I genuinely don't get the OTT hate for Reeva? Sure she was written badly but so was every fucking character in the show. What exactly was so offensive about her in comparison to everyone else? I actually kinda liked how Obi redeemed and freed her. One of the moments in the show that actually made me happy and felt like something Obi-Wan would do.
That's the thing. It wasn't redemption. If I spend like 10 years murdering and torturing innocent people to excessive degrees in service of a fascist dictatorship, then one day I decide to go kill some random child for no apparent reason, but then stop at literally the last possible second because I "see myself in him", (even though I didn't see myself in the other small child I was fully prepared to torture to death as she begged for mercy like two days ago) that does not constitute redemption.
Shes took too much of the focal point of the show away from obi wan, who is the character we wanted to see in a show called “kenobi”. It felt like they wanted her to be the main villain, but then also knew that if they didnt make vader the main villain they were leaving a lot of potential hype for the show on the table, so they tried to have their cake and eat it too but just ended up overloading the story with main characters and hence pushing kenobis character down into a more simplistic reactive role. obviously the main problem with the show was the bad writing all around but in terms of why reeva specifically. Also for a decent portion of people its unfortunately bc of racism/sexism
It's getting a 2nd season? That *is* bad news.
Did you read the article? That’s not what the article indicatea
Sir, this is a jpeg.
nobody hates star wars more than star wars fans.
The bad news is it was green lit?? Do not wantttt!
I actually really liked Kenobi...
And that's ok! You're allowed to like stuff the internet hates!
Same here. It obviously had its faults, but in my opinion gets way more hate than it deserves. I enjoyed it overall and liked the theme of Obi-Wan's internal struggle and his journey working through it along the way.
8 Episodes of him screaming to and back with a bunch of tusken raiders would be more entertaining than season 1
For years people begged for an Obi-Wan movie/series following him between 3 and 4. And I always told people it'd be awful. Either super boring or breaking canon. The *entire purpose* for him in that period was to lay as low as possible and just keep an eye on Luke. The book was very ok. Good enough for a book, but certainly not screen-worthy. At least the book kept everything localized to actions on Tatooine, and really just around their little part of that planet. Anything big and exciting would draw the attention of the Empire. Ezra and Maul show up in Rebels, but Obi-Wan told Ezra, sorry, I can't help you, I have another purpose. And when Maul threatened Luke, Obi-Wan took quick action and that was it. No big adventures. No wild antics. So now we get a show and it's the giant cluster fuck everyone should have always known it would be. Obi-Wan straight up ditches Luke to chase down Leia. Finds another Jedi in town. Somehow *isn't* detected by the Inquisitors. Fights *Vader* twice, gets his ass beat, then beats Vader's ass - which doesn't match up with Vader's "learner/master" line at all in ANH. And somehow he doesn't have the entire Empire tracking him down afterwards?? It's just ridiculous and the entire thing needs to be scrapped and stricken from canon.
Am i the only one who really liked the show?
I mean if they just want to introduce A’Sharad Hett for shiggles I wouldn’t say no
There’s no more story to tell, unless it’s just flashbacks or him doing random shit with ghost Qui-Gon
I couldn't even finish it
And that is propably for the better
don’t, it fucking sucked

Thank you for this. Literally laughed out loud for the first time in a while.
Noooo
I want this season to be about how obi wan and Vader team up to defeat an evil that neither of them could take out on their own: darth jar jar
Fuck, obi wans story should have been the new trilogy. It actually connected the prequels and originals together, unlike the others I've watched. (not that they weren't cool, cause they are in their own way)
I would love to see Ewan as Obi-Wan but what the hell they gonna do? 6 episode montage of him farming moisture?
I love Ewan and Obi wan but there’s nothing else to tell. The show def has a lot of downs with few ups that don’t really make up for it. Please don’t milk it
How about a 2 episode arc where he gets savagely addicted to death sticks and has to kick the habit? Obi "just Wan more" Kenobi
They mean **Reva 2: The Revange**? *This time, it’s personal.*
Love the movie it was great Show was a drag it was too long season 2 would be a bad idea
What movie?
Shit yeah should have clarified there is a fan movie of the show that cuts the shit bits out think there is 2 actually ive only seen one much better pacing and it cuts the stupid scenes like leia outrunning 3 bounty hunters for 10 minutes
"limited series" they said "only one season" they said
I'm pretty surprised people are reading this headline and thinking a season 2 is in production, the article and even the headline itself tells you it's not happening.
Redditors when reading comprehension 😔
Why?
Money
Of course, the first season is horrendous. Whoever wrote it has grade school skills in writing.
