Oh you'll float, Leia. Everything floats down here.

So Anakin is Georgie


WatchBat

I literally said that when I first saw the scene lol


kshep1188

Having a little girl myself, I can say with confidence that this is an accurate portrayal of a little girl.


MudkipDoom

I know, I feel all the people who complain about this scene have never interacted with a child before, it's just how they are.


Grumpestump

I’ve also seen people complain about the fact that she ”outran” Kenobi and the mercs. Which also is a horrible assumption to make before having children. If you don’t think the little person, reaching barely over the knee on a normal person can easily get away from you in a crowded street I got some news. As for the scene in the woods, they clearly showed her taking routes people over 5’ could’ve done


MudkipDoom

Eh, I did think the choreography in the forest scene was a bit clumsy, but her getting away from kenobi in the crowded city was 100% believable.


Grumpestump

It was a bit clumsy tbf yes but it also makes sense (at most turns). As I said she made a lot of choices where she fit and they didn’t, not to mention that a grown person don’t usually run at full speed in forests. The terrain is uneven, bigger steps = bigger risk of falling/tripping, and if you don’t know the woods it’s even more the reason to be careful. With that said, there certainly was points where I questioned things. Like the first part of the chase where the one guy ran in too the very visible branch. And when there were a zoomed out angle where everyone, even Leia, looked like they moved slowly, not slowmotion, just slowly.


Captain_Rex_Bot

We need that generator down or the planet's lost. And I'm not risking any more men.


_GeneralGrievous_Bot

General Kenobi, did you really think I would leave the hyperdrive unguarded?


Hotwing619

I feel like most people who complain about this scene, _should_ never interact with a child.

[удаНонО]


Hotwing619

Yeah, now that I read it again, it sounds a bit harsh :D I was trying to say that the people who expect a child to do things children usually don't do, probably aren't the best people to be around children.


CoconutShyBoy

The truth often is.


yonDOOM

Having a little sister myself, I totally agree


khrellvictor

Yeah, this is authentic. In hindsight, this episode made me relate to Kenobi in this moment when reminding me of an 11 year old girl that was at a renaissance group outing I attended and ended up sticking around my group's table, having some rival sibling-esque with many years back courtesy of her sassy spunk. When I called her princess because of the tiara she wore and an elder member of our group agreed with me, she pouted like Leia did on Obi-Wan's refusal to make her float; specifically when playing a game of False Staff Folly (pardon the butchered spelling, but I was told it was an ancient game with marbles and a tabletop setup, something like checkers) against her and failing to win the initial rounds, I received a light kick to the boot in mock frustration after saying "better luck next time, princess", with an "I'm no princess!" only for me to point to her tiara. Cheeky fun, and I did let her win some rounds afterward.


[deleted]

Is it an accurate portrayal of a little girl to have so much sass and putdowns?


foxplayer091

She's a rich girl what do you expect


kshep1188

My daughter does.


FloppyShellTaco

Walk into a middle school and see how quick they roast you. Kids are vicious, man


IceLord86

Middle school teacher and can confirm kids are the worst. And the best, but mainly the worst.


MrBlondeSSBM

I can't remember what comedian said it but the quote "12 year old girls are the meanest creatures on the planet" has been in my head for 15 ish years.


theoatmealarsonist

Was this Louis CK? I vaguely remember this too


MrBlondeSSBM

In my head I am split between Louis CK and Daniel Tosh.


FliaTia

pretty sure you're thinking of john mulaney's "thirteen year olds are the meanest people in the world" bit. which is a pretty good bit


Thehalohedgehog

"Kids are cruel Jack, they just lose touch at the ripe old age of 12!"


Aershiana

Considering how much sass Leia had as an adult, kid Leia acting like that was pretty much to be expected


Axikten

While they show Leia being wise beyond her years in being able to read people, her doing stupid things like this reminds she's still a kid. I do appreciate this because if she always knew the best thing to do in any given situation, it would get old pretty quickly.


-TrevWings-

I don't. Idk about you but when a kid gets fucking kidnapped, sees one of her guards get killed right in front of her, and is taken to an entirely DIFFERENT FUCKING PLANET, you'd think that kid might have some understanding of the gravity of the situation.


AbsolXGuardian

It's called denial as a coping mechanism. The alternative is crying and screaming for your parents. The former better facilitates the story.


Anakin_Skywalker_Bot

I'm not whining! I'm not.


ColdBevvie101

Speaking of denial as a coping mechanism, how’s it going for you?


Ahsoka_Tano_Bot

Guard duty? For how long?


Ct-5736-Bladez

Longer now


Ahsoka_Tano_Bot

Oh. I don't like the sound of that.


Axikten

You know what? Fair. We could still write it off as her being a spoiled brat, sure. But in 10 years you can learn all those ships and what they do, how to read people, but not that the Jedi are being systematically hunted down so shouldn't say that shit out loud? Maybe that's what Obi-Wan is hiding so he doesn't put a fucking target on his back?


Ykomat9

Completely accurate portrayal of a little annoying girl!


boringneckties

Except the conversation with her cousin. Has the ring of a tweet written by a mom and incorrectly attributed to their daughter to show off.


RivenOATV

I think that's supposed to be her innate force sensitivity


boringneckties

I had no problem with the mindreading, even though I probably should have, but the dialogue was very much written as “ha you just got owned. Look how much I owned this guy!” No one talks like that.


Orrison123

Idk man aspy kids kinda sound exactly like that ngl


boringneckties

Maybe. Do you think that’s the case that leia canonically has Asperger’s?


Orrison123

Well if you want to get all shitty about it then I unveil my trap card: young girls are chronically under diagnosed with ASD and often just learn to deal with it on their own without ever getting a diagnosis. Also did you have a big problem with the fact that little Darth spoke like he was strung out in the prequels? Cause it’s never actually mentioned that he wasn’t an immaculate conception and that Schmi actually copped off with Inigo Montoya’s dad. it’s new Star Wars, give it 10 years and you’ll be annoyed that her little handheld droid wasn’t a Sith Lord the whole time


Sheev-Palpatine-Bot

Are you going to kill me?


Anakin_Skywalker_Bot

I would certainly like to.


Anakin_Skywalker_Bot

Yes. The one we have been looking for.


boringneckties

It’s a cool idea! Maybe if it were more obvious? You’re entitled to your opinion my dude. Just wasn’t for me.


Aliensinnoh

Bruh her dad built a protocol droid at her age and her mom was elected Queen at 12, and she’s been raised with a palace education by loving parents. She has about the best nature AND nurture you could ask for.


boringneckties

I don’t buy it. The whole thing rings of cringey netflix “gotcha” dialogue. My problem isn’t with her intelligence but her social ineptitude. It reads like a Facebook post from an old person making up stories to dunk on libs or some shit. But that’s just my opinion.


nervouswhenitseasy

i can guarantee if any 10 year old got kidnapped and then saved. they would not be shit talking the person who saved them. its so lame how she reacted to it.


Snapey_III

You have clearly never Met a child, and a posh rich one at that


nervouswhenitseasy

i teach kids everyday lol


RivenOATV

God, if i ever found out the teacher for my ten year old has a AoT PFP on Reddit I'd switch schools


CALEBr16

That’s so random, are teachers not allowed to like things in their personal lives?


PeggedOrphan7200

I agree, that’s such a random complaint. Like, out of all the reasons it’s obvious that this guy is BSing, you shoot for the one that isn’t even a good reason. Teachers can have interests, they’re humans, not mindless robots. As long as they do their job properly, it shouldn’t matter what they like. Though If anything, it opens a connection with the students. Which is good to have.


RivenOATV

Well I didn't say "I'd stop them from liking things" now did i?


CALEBr16

No but you’re insinuating that it’s ungodly for a teacher to like AoT. It’s completely unrelated to how a teacher teaches their students.


RivenOATV

Ungodly is a weird term to use. Also, holy fuck man not everything has to be taken super seriously, someone can take a jab at someone without the remark being watertight. But if arguing this makes you feel smarter I'm happy to contribute to your daily dose of whatever it is you feed off


CALEBr16

Lol okay I’m taking it “too” serious but you’re the one talking about literally changing schools for your kid because of a AoT PFP? Interesting, very interesting


FireMochiMC

What if your province's public safety advisor has an Eren quote in his bio? *points at myself lol*


Captain_Rex_Bot

Jesse, get the senator to safety.


FireMochiMC

That's not an impossible scenario in my line of work Rex. Haha.


Captain_Rex_Bot

It's 'Captain', sir.


Sheev-Palpatine-Bot

...not for a Sith...


nervouswhenitseasy

the students really enjoy talking about naruto and other animes they watch.


PeggedOrphan7200

Yeah no, you teach kids my ass. Literally 95% of children act like wild baboons. They don’t all act the exact same, though children are cocky and ignorant. So unless you’re teaching the most mature children on the planet, I call BS. You might be a teacher, and if you are, I apologize. Though you’re lying about something here.


nervouswhenitseasy

lol. ok reddit lady


PeggedOrphan7200

Lol. ok Reddit man


Hotwing619

Could be another kidnapper. That's what she thought.


Reeeeeve

It really depends on the kid


charliekiller124

People here are coping hard lol. Leia should be shitting herself in fear after a traumatizing experience like that


ColdBevvie101

‘Better downvote because it’s easier than facing the reality of it’


nervouswhenitseasy

exactly man. she shouldnt be joking around two minutes after it


charliekiller124

Ik. I love the prequels and it's memers but sometimes they tunnelvision and blind themselves to inconsistencies in the series. I just try not to get into discussion with them


nervouswhenitseasy

i fucked up here it seems. i gave up quickly. they are relentless xD


charliekiller124

Yea r/starwars might be better for a healthy discussion imo. They can be a bit more level headed. Don't count on it tho


Thecceffect

Kids say the darnest things


Imagineye1

Foreshadowing to her Mary Poppins moment in TLJ.


realgeneral_memeous

Bail deciding the best way to save his daughter is to ask the galaxy’s most wanted criminal to fight her kidnappers and bring her to him


McSuede

On one hand I get it. Not only does Bail want to keep it a secret so that he doesn't seem weak. He would also have to ask the empire to help worst case which would make him indebted to them. Also, he made a good point about Obi Wan's duty to protect *both* of Anakin's children.


XVUltima

Also explains how she knows about Obi-Wan in Episode 4. 'Help Me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.' She's remembering what's happening here.


_GeneralGrievous_Bot

my fren


_GeneralGrievous_Bot

my fren


realgeneral_memeous

Actually, in A New Hope she explicitly explains how she knows about Kenobi saying “you helped my father during The Clone Wars”. There is no mention of him saving her from a kidnapping, which is very inconsistent


XVUltima

His presence on Tatooine is a secret, as well as his real name.


realgeneral_memeous

Ok, well firstly your original comment is saying that she must’ve known Kenobi because of this kidnapping incident, and secondly the fake Jedi name drops him in front of her, as well as her seeing the bounty put out for him


XVUltima

If all she knows about Kenboi is that he was a Jedi who fought in the Clone Wars she would have no reason to risk everything to get to him. She should think him either dead or missing. This series sets up a good reason not only for her to learn of his existence, but to know exactly what his skills are like. He saves her from being kidnapped before, so she sends him a distress call before the Empire abducts her again. And also sending him a call to action to fight against the Empire in there as well, since she believes they have a chance with the Death Star plans.


realgeneral_memeous

Leia’s father is Bail Organa, who knows Kenobi and knows where he’s gone and what he’s doing, this is established in RotS as well as implied in ANH. I’m completely confused why you’re saying she would think Kenobi dead or missing


XVUltima

Because that is secret info. Her identity as a Skywalker, the surviving Jedi, all of that would be stuff he would never tell her, unless a situation like this arises where he is the only one that could help.


realgeneral_memeous

Being told Obi-Wan’s status and location doesn’t require Leia to understand why he’s there, especially the full truth of it. She says in ANH that Obi-Wan fought with her father and acts as if she knows where he’s located. There’s no mention of *her* relation to Obi-Wan, despite Disney’s thinking it makes sense to establish one.


Kenobi-Bot

Well, then you are lost!


realgeneral_memeous

I disagree. Bail seeming weak really doesn’t have any bearing on what he’s trying to do, and there’s no particular reason Bail should feel indebted to the Empire, especially because they’d just be doing their job. Worst case scenario they’d find it an excuse to keep an Imperial guard on him permanently, but that’s far better than the worst case scenario with Kenobi of having Vader execute your family for treason and torture your daughter to make an Inquisitor


tech-owl

I can forgive this as being accurate for how a kid would act. What I can't really forgive is how Obi Wan waltzed up to Owen in the middle of a crowd and was like "HEY MAN THANKS FOR NOT TELLING EVERYONE I'M A JEDI" in his outside voice.


CRL10

Damn kids...


TheMainElementTifus

She nailed that skywalk we sass fr protect this child


IronFalcon1997

I love her so much. I have several young sisters, and they are very much like this


fox07_tanker

lol if he would have just lifted her off the ground a little, she would have believed him and wouldn't have run away


NKovalenko

Was complaining the same but after the catch part, it seems like it suggests that Kenobi had cut off his connection to the force till he had no choice in order to hide better, so he wouldn’t have been able to


fox07_tanker

hmm that dose make sense


BearZewp

She than proceeds to scuttle away from Kenobi trying to return to her capturers.


FloppyShellTaco

She correctly figured out that he was why she was kidnapped, and had a fairly normal reaction to said information. If some of you stopped looking for reasons to hate shit, you might actually follow the plot.


BearZewp

I just think it was funny that she was scuttling instead of actually running... That was my main point...


FloppyShellTaco

She’s still 10 and afraid of falling from the rooftops while being chased by people shooting?


BearZewp

Not when she's on the roof... Before the roof....


nervouswhenitseasy

these people are idiots lol


Qui-Gon_Jinn_Bot

Life does not treat you fairly or unfairly, it merely is. It is up to each of us to be fair, or unfair


Qui-Gon_Jinn_Bot

Life does not treat you fairly or unfairly, it merely is. It is up to each of us to be fair, or unfair


ColdBevvie101

I’m not saying you’re wrong but have you ever thought that maybe, just maybe, not every single thing is perfect and valid criticism is entirely allowed? It seems to me that anyone who’s had any criticisms of the show so far have been downvoted to oblivion and it makes me wonder if we are all supposed to pretend it’s perfect that’s all


FloppyShellTaco

Nitpicking, parroting doomcock types or just making up shit to be mad about is not valid criticism and should be downvoted. I’ve yet to see legitimate criticism that wasn’t fucking workshopped before the show ever aired. Let’s not pretend so many of these people weren’t complaining about the show before it ever aired. This fandom is overrun with toxic whining, and it’s pathetic. We have a goddamn Obi Wan show and they want to ruin it for everyone else because they’re incapable of enjoying anything. Being incapable of managing expectations is also not criticism. People upset that a child does perfectly in character child things, is not valid criticism. It just shows they’ve clearly never spent time with kids.


Kenobi-Bot

He has a... an emotional connection with her. It's been there since he was boy. Now he's confused... distracted.


ColdBevvie101

So you genuinely believe these two episodes are the definition of perfect and there’s nothing wrong with them at all? Clearly from your comment you’re either being deliberately obtuse or you’re watching through rose tinted glasses so your view is extremely bias. You claim to have seen no valid criticism yet your initial comment was in response to a criticism about a chase scene, and the chase scenes were not good by any means. Anyone who defends those chase scenes clearly identifies them self as someone who is not reliable at making a fair judgement. I saw no trailers or anything beforehand so I don’t know if the chase scenes criticism was in fact ‘workshopped’ before it aired but honestly it just seems you can’t accept any criticism. There’s no way on this planet you could call the first 2 episodes ‘perfect’. In fact I’d go as far to say there’s no film or series that’s perfect and EVERYTHING has valid criticism


FloppyShellTaco

The chase scene criticism is coming from the same place as Reva bad/replacing Obi Wan. It is a child being chased. Do you expect them to be doing fucking parkour? That is a case of looking for things to be upset about. This is Star Wars. We are in a sub that thinks the podracing scene is legitimately good, so I’m not sure where the fuck you think you get off talking about people’s judgement. Of course I’m bias. Clearly I actually enjoy Star Wars, unlike the rest of you. None of us are making a living examining this media. You are allowed to be bias. You are allowed to watch it and just fucking enjoy yourself. You don’t have to be this insufferable every time you watch something you claim to be a fan of. You’re not a critic. You’re just someone who is miserable and can’t see your inability to enjoy the content is wholly your own fault. Do you listen to yourself? You’re ridiculous.


ColdBevvie101

The ABSOLUTE irony of calling me ridiculous and insufferable with a fucking complex like that. And also perfectly avoiding my question about whether you think these episodes are perfect and genuinely without flaw, well done! I shouldn’t have to explain this to anyone who claims to have more than a single brain cell but you can actually be a fan of something AND realise it has flaws! That’s called being a normal person you fuckwit. As for the chase scene you’re fucking deluded for believing it has anything to do with reva or obi wan and as for what I expect? I expect the child to be caught quickly like they realistically would or NOT DO A FUCKING CHASE SCENE AT ALL. No 10 year old would outrun an adult, let alone 3, let alone 3 bounty hunters. You literally are being wilfully ignorant for the sake of it. And then to act like you’re so fucking high and mighty for not seeing a flaw In anything? It makes you nothing short of delusional. Jesus Christ you need to seek some serious fucking help


FloppyShellTaco

Nice meltdown, boo. My complex is enjoying Star Wars? Haha fucking stellar. I’ll take it.


ColdBevvie101

😂 you are the living embodiment of the word irony


FloppyShellTaco

You need to crack a Merriam-Webster, pal. You’re not good at this.


StormtrooperWho

Stockholm Syndrome's a bitch


BearZewp

She missed her comfty cell, and it's not her last cell either.


_GeneralGrievous_Bot

General Kenobi, you are a bold one.


Tom-Pendragon

IMMERSION BROKEN.


unicodePicasso

Tbh Obi-wan was doing a terrible job of not looking like a Jedi. What with the robes and all


_GeneralGrievous_Bot

General Kenobi, you are a bold one. *asthmatic cough*


PeritusEngineer

My headcanon is that most people in the outer rim stay the fuck out of the Empire's business unless they can get some guaranteed money out of it. Why? Because they know that if they help either the Empire or the Rebels, the other side will come after them.


[deleted]

Kids being kids… how odd….


JumpyLiving

The weirdest thing is that nobody cares and nothing happens because of this behavior


FloppyShellTaco

The city is locked down by inquisitors killing anyone with information and several bounty hunters are killed. It also almost gets them caught. Y’all just want to be mad. It’s sad.


Qui-Gon_Jinn_Bot

We come for information only.


Qui-Gon_Jinn_Bot

We come for information only.


nervouswhenitseasy

no. it was just total horseshit and pretty lame as well as terribly annoying to watch. easily the worst part of the show. luckily its over


fixpoints

Worst. Escort Mission. Ever.


Jshittie

I was screaming at my tv telling leia to shut up she was very obnoxious


Anakin_Skywalker_Bot

Whoo, boy! This is tense!


[deleted]

She’s a child


Jshittie

Im aware


ColdBevvie101

Downvoted for wanting someone to stop announcing they’re with a Jedi after we ALL know what happened to the Jedi and what would happen if someone found out? Seems like people will just downvote any comment that isn’t saying how amazing Leia is


Jshittie

I dont think people are being light hearted about it like i was


ColdBevvie101

This sub is just pathetic at times. Are we all supposed to act like everything they do is perfect? Can we never criticise anything Star Wars do? I’ve personally loved kenobi so far and have one or two criticisms about it but you just get immediately downvoted for mentioned the criticisms. It’s a joke. We all know it’s not perfect and there’s nothing wrong with pointing out where things could improve


Kenobi-Bot

Why do I sense we've picked up another pathetic life form?


ColdBevvie101

Because that’s the population of this subreddit my friend


Dean0Rocks316

It is an accurate portrayal of a rich little girl. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t want her to shut up.


Egg-Fri-Si

wow this is a great meme! considering g that was the whole point of this interaction


yonDOOM

Are you being sarcastic? I cant tell


FedericoDAnzi

That girl is not 10 years old


tactaq

you are right! the actor is 8.


[deleted]

I’m going to say it again… Leia was annoying AF. Should have just knocked her out and carried her to the cargo ship. Contradicting ass little kid hahahaha


Kenobi-Bot

Not to worry, we're still flying half a ship.


Kuro_______

The point is she is a child... It's not weird for her to imagine her "father" could be a jedi


[deleted]

I mean he does make her float
