the HORROR the sheer HORROR i felt on realising that anakin recognised reva from the temple, had allowed her to join the inquisitors and get close, KNOWING what her rage stemmed from and that she wanted nothing more than revenge upon him look i KNOW he killed the children he killed a lot of children but somehow USING THE FACT THAT HE KILLED CHILDREN to manipulate a child he didn't kill feels even worse, just the coldest cruellest shit imaginable. it's palpatine level shit. what the fuck.
yeah!! he’s been the right hand of evil for so long, and he’s completely lost in the dark. he chose to lean in to the choices he made and assume the identity of darth vader, you know? he knows better, anakin knows better, but he just doesn’t care anymore. he will do literally anything to get what he wants, and he doesn’t care about the consequences. he’s so confident in his ability to kill, he doesn’t fear anyone except sidious. the way he almost toyed with reva, letting her fight and beating her with her own lightsaber, he was just waiting for her to outlive her usefulness. it’s so sinister and perfect, he’s a sith and that doesn’t just mean sexy black clothes. he’s evil, he both does it and has become it, and i love that we’re getting to see it on screen. darth vader is one of our culture’s most iconic villains, but in the OT he moves slow, you know? the true horrors he did were mostly implied. the vader we see here is the one i’ve read in the comics, and i never thought would see the screen. it has now, and i’m grateful (horrified).

The first 2 episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi just showed us:
yet another view of Order 66.
the ruthlessness of Reva and the Inquisitors.
the toll of these 10 years on Obi-Wan.
that Obi-Wan has nightmares every night about Anakin, Padmé, and the fall of the Jedi.
Qui-Gon Jinn will definitely be appearing later on.
the ferocity with which Owen will protect Luke.
Luke has always been just like Anakin, and Leia just like Padmé.
Leia got all her iconic stubbornness and valuable strength from Padmé at a young age.
Tem as a clone veteran; if they hid that, what other familiar clones have they hidden?
Obi-Wan may not have all his physical strength, but he still has his same wisdom and wit.
Obi-Wan and Anakin can still connect through the Force.

it's so nice to watch obi-wan kenobi while only being a somewhat casual fan. I love star wars but I'm not super informed about everything since I only saw the movies and have watched none of the shows or read any book.
I've seen a few videos about how things don't make sense, like the clone tooper not recognizing obi-wan or how reva knows that anakin is darth vader or why leia addresses obi-wan so formaly in episode IV when she knew him as a child (though she maybe only knew him as ben) and some confusion about the grand inquisitor's death. but I honestly don't care!
I am just sitting here smiling because I can finally see ewan on screen again, playing one of his most iconic roles. as long as the atmospere is great and there is a somewhat decent plot, I really don't care! I just love watching this, unburdened by the knowledge of a superfan. I don't hink I've had that luxury before with anything that was brought back due to nostalgia and I really love it! :)

Thoughts while watching Part VI of the Kenobi Series
Obi-Wan's proud smile as he watches Leia cheer another kid up with Lola.
Ex-fucking-cuse me how tf is Reva alive??? Everyone is not fucking Darth Maul, okay? And neither does she have two stomachs like the Grand Inquisitor so what fucking gives?? Guess surviving being impaled isn't a big deal these days, huh? I can just hear Qui-Gon looking down from Force Heaven in utter contempt. He died, but these bitches be prancing around all over the place.
Owen is so gruff but so fond of baby Luke I can't.
Obi finally ready to continue the cycle of sacrificing himself for the greater good. Yay, I guess?? Since that's who he was as a Jedi?? Going back to normal.
Lmao Beru snarking back "Whose fault is that?" when Owen says Obi-Wan's gone.
Beru pulling out a giant blaster and Owen just going O.O is my new favourite thing.
Baby Leia sad that the battered grimy old man is going out to get himself killed.
"You're ten years old. But you won't always be." Excuse you STFU how dARE.
Yay sad parting hugs.
The way he smiles and promises he'll come back. That's the our old Obi-Wan right there. Ewan McGregor go OFF.
See the Grand Inquisitor knows exactly when to STFU and keep his head. But his tiny conceding nod to Vader tho LMAO. Like okay, do as you wish dumbass.
The Lars Parents tryna seem hopeful and putting on a brave face for Luke, but you know that kid knows this might be the last time he sees 'em.
Obi-Wan's twinkly-eyed smile at finding Lola in his robe 😭😭😭 Our man is back.
Lola's nervous beep omg.
"I will do what I must," my ass. Bitch can't kill his son-brother for shit.
Omg omg the old lightsaber-over-shoulder-one-hand-out pose is BACK!!!!!
Oh, so he's suddenly back in his old form now? After being fucking roasted days ago? Nice.
Owen and Beru are such icons. Going up against an Inquisitor for their baby boy.
Okay, but Reva severed a woman's hand for talking back. And you're telling me he left Owen and Beru alive? For what reason exactly?
Run, Luke, run.
Ok NOW the duel's starting to get interesting.
Obi-Wan Kenobi fucking smiling as he flings boulders at Vader with the Force is not something I knew I needed.
What an icon. Yet he still won't be able to kill him. 😒
Reva, you're really gonna stoop as low as Anakin, huh? That's the hill you wanna die on? Killing children? Okay gurl. You do you I guess.
DARTH VADER WHEEZING AND GROANING AND TOPPLING OVER OH MY FUCKING GOD YESSSS
Obi-Wan you are such a fucking wimp oh my FUCKING God. Yes, that's the child you raised and loved. But you saw with your own eyes the kinda destruction and carnage he leaves in his wake. And still you thought he might be worth saving?? And even when you realised he couldn't be saved you just up and left????? Explain this to me. You brought fucking Darth Vader to his knees--one of the few ppl who can even do that--and yet you just chose to not kill him??? Have you learnt NOTHING from Mustafar?? You're just gonna let him crawl wheezing back to his bacta tank so he can unleash the rage he has built up for you on innocent people?? Like WHAT THE FUCK MAN. Make it make sense.
Idk why Obi-Wan and other ppl choose to see it like Vader killed Anakin BS. Vader IS Anakin. That's what he became. That's what he chose. That's who he is now. His upbringing might not have been ideal and he might have been groomed. But the choices we make are ultimately our own. Ppl be actin' like his life trauma absolves him of killing literal children lmfaoo. Carry on.
Wow. Luke lost in the desert is the ONE TIME Owen doesn't look like he's contemplating physical violence when he sees Obi-Wan.
Beru not batting an eye at all at Obi-Wan's appearance pretty much confirms she sees him around often. At the market at Anchorhead, when she's out with Luke, maybe.
Reva showing up with a slumped Luke is a sight. Owen and Beru's faces. Thinking she carried over their child's body. Good God. I'm not even a parent but man the chills. Wondering how actual parents would react upon watching that scene.
Their look of confusion, caution and wtf is wrong with you directed at Reva.
Reva seeing real parents actually loving their kid. Their whole world stopping when they think their kid's dead. 💔💔💔
Owen's final look of pure contempt and what tf do you think you accomplished at Reva. Owen, my man, pls stop being such an icon.
Reva crying and Obi-Wan comforting her is another thing I didn't know I needed.
Reva trying to get revenge by killing Vader's kid, to avenge the kids he killed, but failing cuz Luke is a kid and someone else's family is just poetic.
"He killed them all, and I couldn't do it."
And yet she's afraid of becoming the monster that slaughtered her family.
I'm actually gonna thank Star Wars for showing how deep childhood trauma and hurt run.
Vader abt to force-choke the nearest being and Palpatine just goes you seem agitated, bro.
Palpatine tryna figure out if he needs to have his pet cyborg murdered.
Alderaan my beloved.
Dang nooo why is it so beautiful it's all gonna get destroyed.
Baby Leia getting ready for her next adventure. I need more wholesome scenes like this in movies 😭❤😭❤😭❤
Ok but literally HOW did they think Vivian Lyra Blair was gonna pass for a 10-year-old??? She was eight during filming and she looks even more baby. Look at how smol she is and her chubby baby hands 😭❤😭❤😭❤
I just keep rewatching the scene and laughing. How are her chubby baby hands actually doing any fastening??
How did Breha not see the holster before? No srsly? Did Bail help her hide it? Cuz if not, what in the rich parent BS...
Wow. Imagine having loving, supportive parents when you needed it the most as a kid. Just wow.
I fucking love Alderaan so much.
OMG. THERE IT IS. THERE'S OBI-WAN. It's the same smile from ROTS--the EXACT same smile. Our man is truly back for good holy shit look at his happy smile 😭❤😭❤😭❤
HOLY FUCK his old cadence and playful tone--they're BACK. THIS IS OBI-WAN KENOBI FRIENDS. NOT BEN.
Hugging Bail 😭
Omg him just crossing his arms and giving her a playful smile. THIS is the Obi-Wan we know. This is how he is with kids.
"I think you should sleep." DAMN.
Alderaan is so beautiful, but for what? To just get destroyed. ☹
Obi-Wan's voice breaking as he talks abt the things Leia inherited from her bio parents.
"Both were exceptional people." 🤡🤡🤡
I am so sad. We coulda had so much. If Obi-Wan had just killed Anakin during Order 66, we coulda had Uncle Obi visiting Leia in Alderaan and going on adventures with her. No sad goodbyes. More Alderaan. More uncle/grandpa-niece/granddaughter shenanigans. But nO.
Sad parting hugs. AGAIN.
And Obi's just soaking it up cuz he knows this might well be the last time he sees her. Life is pain.
No. Don't let go. Of her baby hand.
Omg it's the outfit from the comics YESSS. That and the teal outfit are my fave.
He leavin' the cave 😔
Owen looking suspicious, but not as suspicious as usual .
"Take good care of him." Like they haven't been for years. Like they didn't just throw hands with an Inquisitor. Bitch STFU.
Owen doesn't like Obi-Wan. But he knows just how much that boy means to Obi-Wan. He's the son of the boy Obi-Wan himself raised. So he gives in begrudgingly and actually smiles at Obi-Wan. "BEN! You wanna meet him?" Owen Lars. What a man.
Baby Luke immediately starts smiling at him 😭😭😭
HELLO THERE
Really liking Obi's new fit.
Bro, the moment I saw Qui-Gon's blue behind HOLY FUCK. CHILLS. I had to pause and scream into my hands and get up and jump around my room. The adrenaline was too much.
And then he turned around and everything went to shit. They spent the entire budget on TBOBF on a fucking perfect-looking deepfake Luke but here we are with 40-yr-old padawan Anakin, AOTC Obi-Wan just aged up a bit, and Qui-Gon who doesn't even look like Qui-Gon. They couldn't age ANY of them down a little???
Before I bitch abt Qui-Gon, does anyone remember Liam Neeson denying being in this series?? He pulled the same thing as McGregor but that bastard not only said they couldn't afford him, but also pretended to not know abt anything going on w Star Wars rn. He literally went do ppl still like Star Wars? As if he never heard of the sequels or oh idk baby yoda??? Played a bit too dumb honey.
Anyway, back to Qui-Gon bashing. This man. Bitch sees his son for the first time in 23 years and the first thing he says is took you long enough?? No greeting, no smile, no reassurance, comfort or an apology, nothing. Bitch ditched his son with the weight of the world on his shoulders, and now after years of that same son desperately calling out to him he responds, saying Obi-Wan's the one who wasn't ready to see him. Bruh. What a fucking bitch. Srsly Qui-Gon? WTAF.

Reva: Next time I'm at the pet store, I'm gonna take a hamster and drop it in the scorpion cage. I wanna see what a hamster's face looks like when it goes, "oh, fuck."
Fifth: *holding a salt packet* It’s just a little sodium chloride. Seventh: Actually Fifth, it’s salt. Fifth: That’s what I said, sodium chloride. Seventh: Uh Fifth, that would be salt. Seventh: *takes salt packer from Fifth* This is iodized table salt, which in addition to sodium chloride contains anti-caking agents and potassium iodate, which is added to prevent iodine deficiency. So not only are you being overly pretentious by insisting on using scientific terminology for everyday items, you are factually wrong. Your arrogance is your downfall, you annoying little shit.

Shiri: I found a note in one of my old word .docs that said Note to self: Get revenge on Eighth. Shiri: Except I couldn't remember what I was supposed to get revenge for. Shiri: But I trusted my own judgment, so I went with it. Eighth: Hmm... I don't know what you were supposed to get revenge for, either. Shiri: I can only assume you got what was coming to you. Not 100 percent sure, though. Eighth: Well, whatever I did, I guess I deserved it. Shiri: Let that possibly be a lesson to you.

Fifth: Just be yourself. Say something nice. The Grand Inquisitor: Which one? I can't do both.
Eighth: *walks to cabinet, removes oreo box, takes half a sleeve, throws empty box out* Hi! The Grand Inquisitor: Hey- what are you doing-? Eighth, shoving an oreo into his mouth: I am saving space :D
Shiri: Grand Inquisitor, that was a stop sign. The Grand Inquisitor, driving: I’ll stop twice on the way back.
Seventh: C'mon, take one for the team. Reva: No, I don’t want to. Let the team fail.
Shiri: What are you two arguing about this time? The Grand Inquisitor: He's always using common phrases incorrectly! Eighth: Cry me a table, Grand Inquisitor.
Reva: Oh god, he texted you ‘hi.’’ Punctuation only means one thing, Seventh. He's mad at you. Seventh: No, it's The Grand Inquisitor. He's just being gramatically correct! *meanwhile* The Grand Inquisitor: And then I used a period so she'd know that I'm mad at her. Fifth: A period doesn't say 'I'm mad', it says 'you're dead to me'. The Grand Inquisitor: I stand by my choice.
Fifth: Seventh, what have I told you about staying out past your curfew? Seventh: I need to do it more often. Fifth: Exactly.
Reva: Do you know the ABCs of first aid? Seventh: A. Bone. Coming out of the skin is very bad.
Reva: I drink to forget but I always remember. Shiri: You're drinking orange juice.
Eighth: Shiri taught me to think before I act. Eighth: ...So if I smack the shit out of you, rest assured that I thought about it and am confident in my decision.
The Grand Inquisitor: Fifth, you're testifying in an aggravated assault case tomorrow, and the D.A. is worried about how you'll present yourself on the stand. Fifth: Why? I'm fine on the stand! *flashback to Testimony #1* Fifth: Look, I'll make this real simple so even these dumdums can understand. Fifth, to the jury: MAN DID CRIME. *flashback to Testimony #2* Fifth: I'm sorry, could you make her stop doing that weird thing with her face? Defense Attorney, next to the crying defendant: ...Crying? *flashback to Testimony #3* Fifth: And when this is over, I'm gonna find you and I'm gonna break those little fingers. Judge: Could the witness please stop threatening the stenographer?
Eighth: What kind of animal is the Pink Panther? The Grand Inquisitor: Eighth, say that again, but slowly. Eighth, slowly: That again. The Grand Inquisitor: screams
Fifth: I’m playing a new drinking game. Fifth: It’s called “Every time I’m depressed, I take a drink.” Shiri: That game exists. It’s called alcoholism. Fifth: Shiri:
Seventh: seductively takes off glasses Seventh: Wow... Eighth: blushes Haha... what? Seventh: You're really fucking blurry.
Fifth: Hey Reva, can I get some ice cream? Reva: Only a spoonful! Fifth: *Proceeds to pull out a comically large spoon*
Shiri: Don’t worry, I know exactly what I’m doing. Everything is going to be fine! The Grand Inquisitor: How can you still say that? Shiri: Because sometimes, when things get tough, denial is all we have.

Obi-Wan Kenobi Series Review
Tumblr media
What's up everyone! Dan here! Today I'll be reviewing the limited series, Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney Plus!
Spoilers ahead! You've been warned!
I want to make it clear, I am a HUGE Star Wars fan and I loved the Original Trilogy as well as the Prequels. Sequels I did not like and I liked all the Star Wars animated series as well as the Mandalorian and even Book of Boba Fett. The idea of a Kenobi anthology movie or series has been an idea I've been curious about for years and would have liked to seen come to fruition. With that said, the series here....doesn't quite deliver.
I went into this series with reasonable expectations thinking that it would mainly be about Obi-Wan and his time spent of Tatooine where he is watching over Luke and learning how to Master the Force even after death in secrecy while hiding under the Empires radar. This series does the complete opposite of everything I was expecting for a Kenobi series.
Tumblr media
The cast itself was an interesting cast I'll give it that, lots of diverse talent here. Ewan McGregor reprising his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi was awesome, I love Ewan's performance as Kenobi in the prequels and he did a decent job with it here, Ewan's acting performance is great and despite the material he had to work with, it was still enjoyable watching him as Kenobi again. Hayden Christensen came back to reprise his role as Anakin/Darth Vader alongside James Earl Jones providing the iconic voice which was another treat I appreciated. I always liked Christensen's performance as Anakin/Vader I think he brought it all to life in the Prequels and like McGregor he gave a great performance despite what he had to work with. There was also talent such as Kumail Nanjiani (who starred in the Eternals movie), Moses Ingram who gave a decent performance as the Third Sister, Reva, Vivien Lyra Blair who gave an okay performance as a young Leia and surprisingly, O'Shea Jackson Jr aka Ice Cube's son was in this series as Roken a rebel leader kind of guy and he gave a good performance as well.
Tumblr media
Deborah Chow was the Director of the show and she's known for her work on the hit series The Mandalorian. This was her project to do and it was not what I expected. The plot of the series is completely opposite what I think me and other fans were expecting in a Kenobi series. Obi-Wan is sent on this wild cross galaxy adventure to save a kid Leia from criminals in an attempt by Reva to lure him out of hiding and presenting him to Darth Vader. I'm all for adventure series where you go planet to planet each episode and that works for something like The Mandalorian who doesn't have a established setting rather he goes job to job to different places. Here for Kenobi, it doesn't quite work as well. Kenobi's main task after the Jedi Purge and defeating Anakin is to remain on Tatooine and watch over and protect Luke until he's ready for his Jedi training. That has always been established in the films, tv series, and the books. But here in this series, Kenobi briefly leaves his duty to protect Luke to save Leia and this really raises questions now. This means that Leia personally know Kenobi, she personally knows a Jedi and that they exist. The charm that the original series had was that the Jedi were nothing more than a Myth at that point and that the were all wiped out during Order 66 but with this series, Leia now knows that they're very much real which somewhat dilutes the original trilogy and the impact it has when it reveals that the Jedi are still around.
Tumblr media
My next complaint is Darth Vader and the Inquisitors, I'll start with the Inquisitors first. The Grand Inquisitor was established in Star Wars: Rebels and his character in that animated series was intimidating and crafty as oppose to here where he's more...how do I put this....comical and stuffy. Here he doesn't have the same intimidation and craftiness but rather he's a stuffy general type who also has an annoying voice compared to his animated counterpart which was frightening and eerie. They also did something to him that almost retconned his character and Rebels but luckily episode 5 of Kenobi fixed that.
Tumblr media
Reva's character overall was just too over the top in most of the series and it felt like she was just there for the sake of checking a minority check box. She didn't add a whole lot to the series and she revealed she knew who Darth Vader truly was which again raised so many questions since that is a secret only Vader and Sidious knew up until that point. I will say that episode 5 improved her character. It answered how she knew Anakin was Vader and what her true intentions were, I felt the fifth episode was definitely the best episode for Reva and the best episode of the entire series. The sixth episode was a decent conclusion though I would have preferred if the Character had died and taken Vader's secret to the grave but that's not what happened and now it's up to speculation what happens to Reva after that.
Tumblr media
Darth Vader is always exciting to have in any Star Wars content whether its brief like Rogue One or he's a main villain in season 2 of Rebels. However, he's not used in the best way possible here. Him and Kenobi fight it out twice in this series and I felt it was unnecessary. The action itself was fun to watch, but I felt this went against the lore of the Star Wars universe. In the films, its established that those two hadn't faced each other since Revenge of the Sith and would not meet again until A New Hope. Here they throw that out the window and adds two duels between the two which dilutes their final meeting in A New Hope, it's not as impactful as it use to be. In Star Wars legend, Obi-Wan discovered Anakin lived via Cantina broadcast showing Vader conquering a planet and him seeing Vader for the first time in his new cybernetic suit. They didn't have to meet face to face to learn this, they should have just let Obi-Wan discover the terrible truth himself like in the comics. The meetings between the two felt over the top and unnecessary and it felt like it went against the source material and everything we knew. I'd also like to point out that they showed a flashback of a Padawan Anakin and a young Master Kenobi dueling it out and they did not look young at all. Everyone's using that De-aging CGI on everything now, why couldn't they do that here? they both look older than they should be. I see what they were going for here but to me it didn't work well and didn't add anything significant to the lore and story. The writing in the last episode was underwhelming with Kenobi saying "Then my friend is truly dead." which is a reference to Return of the Jedi when Luke said to Vader "Then my father is truly dead.". Kenobi also sliced Vader's helmet revealing half of Anakin's face on the left side and this was also meant to reference Star Wars: Rebels where Ashoka sliced Vader's helmet and revealing half his face on the right side which is where his iconic scar is and that was more impactful in Rebels than it was in Kenobi.
Tumblr media
The setting as I mentioned is a cross galaxy adventure and I felt that this story should have stayed on Tatooine. I know fans complain about how a lot of Star Wars content is always on Tatooine or some other desert planet to which I agree, but here it would have worked. Kenobi's mission was to stay on Tatooine and protect Luke until he's ready all while Kenobi is learning to master the force through the guidance of his old master, Qui-Gon Jinn and how to become one with the force even after death. That's how this series should have gone, not this John Wick in space wacky adventure. Kenobi is in a rough time in his life where he feels he's no longer the Jedi he once was and I like that aspect, but it's not executed well here. They made him like a retired spy or soldier to carry out a mission one last time and that felt nonsensical for Kenobi. To be fair, the last episode ended with Obi-Wan seeing Qui-Gon's force ghost and him starting his force training and it was a nice touch, but I felt that should have been the series to begin with. Obi-Wan hearing Qui-Gon's voice and training to become one with the force again and by the end, he sees Qui-Gon's ghost and reaches enlightenment. Unfortunately they didn't go for that, instead went for something over the top and lackluster. Some of the settings like in the second episode didn't look like Star Wars settings, looked more like assets from Guardians of the Galaxy. It had some nice Easter eggs like my favorite one is where in episode 2 we see an old Clone Trooper homeless and begging for credits like an old war veteran and that was a nice nod to the Clone Wars and shows the Clones were victims just like the Jedi.
Overall, this series had a lot of promise behind it but fell short in terms of story, significance and adding on to the Star Wars lore. The action scenes are good, the acting is decent, and I enjoyed the Easter eggs. Episode 5 was the best episode and it salvaged and saved the series from completely bombing. I heard they got a different writer for episode 5 and I tip my hat to them for saving this series. But the series as a whole was just lackluster.
Rating this series I'm giving it:
5.5/10
A real shame because I had high hopes for this series and was let down. I personally didn't care for most of it and would not recommend to any Star Wars fan out there. It's serviceable enough for the average person to binge and watch something mindless, but this is definitely one of the weaker Star Wars series I've seen, worse than The Book of Boba Fett.
That's all I have to say, See ya next time!

okay, I know I'm mad that Moses Ingram was cast as a villain, but um, Inquisitor Reva is kind of an Icon and while ultimately I'm on Obi-wan's side, I want her to win something

Unhinged thoughts I had about the episodes while watching them below the cut
Episode 1
- THE RECAP damn the recap; so great to see all the prequel scenes appreciated 🥰
- ORDER 66 like hell wa that scene cool
- the shot of the starship above the market of Tatooine!
- Obi-Wan working with that loose strand of hair
- damn looks we already get all the trailer scenes early
- sublte hope for qui-gon scenes rising
- the nightmare 😭 my sweet pour guilt-ridden boy
- Nari this poor soul - and Obi-Wan has to push him away ('you were once a great Jedi' - my heart)
- LEIA - the dressing shot is so COOL; Breha! She's her father's daughter 😭 knowing ships, disobeying rules lol. The droid (Lola!) is cute as hell. the hug 💕 (who's looking at her that creepily?)
- THE SCENE FROM THE COMIC THEY LOOSELY ADAPTED IT! The toys 😭
- Damn Reva take a breath 👀 ('What I'm owed' makes me wonder about her back story...)
- also y'all get your Owen hate in a grip; this man could have easily told her about Obi-Wan but he didn't
- so cool to see all these iconic characters back, and Alderaan is beautiful!
- 'You thank your droids?' 'It's good manners.' Careful, Leia, your Anakin's showing.
- OH NO
- 'I'm not who I used to be.' 😭
- Oh Nari 😭
- damn Bail you're dedicated
- why did the droid have to go?? :(
- his own and Anakin's lightsaber, buried side by side 😭
Episode 2
- so glad we're already off Tatooine 😅
- 'If I ever needed guidance, Master, it's now.' 😭 prediction: Qui-Gon will talk to him at the end of the season
- a Jedi?! or a scam? :P --> called it lol. But what a cool and realistic concept. Good Obi-Wan's for calling him out like that - he must know.
- stroking his beard 💕
- Leia and Obi-Wan! LEIA AND OBI-WAN! holding hands 💕 damn I could take a whole season of them interacting
- the talk between Reva and the Inquisitor - how did she know Leia would be important for Obi-Wan?
- Leia is too adorable dammit
- 'Granddaughter maybe' she's savage haha
- I don't give a damn if it contradicts anything I'm enjoying the Obi-Wan and Leia bonding/bickering way too much 🔥
- LEIA YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE
- Reva having some really nice moves!
- Obi-Wan using the Force again 😭💕 and it's to save Leia!
- I like Haja! 'You're not alone, Obi-Wan' 💕
- the Padmé reference
- 'I'm just going to take you to him.'
- 'Anakin Skywalker is alive.' damn DAMN
- and now we have all the trailer scenes I believe
- this softly whispered 'Anakin' YOU'RE MAKING MY HEART BLEED
- VADER VADER VADER
- I HATE YOU FOR STOPPING HERE
--> all in all, I'm pleased, healed, dead, and excited for more! Obi-Wan stole my heart again 😭💕

Obi Wan Kenobi Ep 2 Live Thoughts, Spoilers ahead
OH my heart is aching, a clone (looks like 501st as well, which means he probs recognises Obi-Wan)
Obi doesn't even know about the chips and he still gave money to the clone
There's always a Jedi who helps people
oooo he's a fake jedi (also omg it's kumail nanjiani) but I'm worried. It looks like he "helps" force sensitives to safety but is he actually sending them to safety?
Sassy Obi is back and he's annoyed
Okay the fake jedi actually does help people but obviously also swindles them
oooo thats a zabrak
damn obi has still got it and he's still throwing out those cocky one liners
see some of the suspense is taken out of this whole predicament considering we know they all survive till ANH
Leia is always expecting an army to rescue her, she knows what she deserves
Sassy Obi meet Sassy Leia, if anakin hadn't fucked up so badly, you would have been an iconic duo
Listen obvs don't want Reva to catch obi but the grand inquisitor screwing her over is not cool
Also I legit have no idea how they thought his whole "least of us" speech to Reva wasn't yikes
Obi's little sigh of "ugh how annoying" when he realises the bounty hunters are looking for him is peak Obi
Obi buying gloves for Leia 🥺🥺🥺
Leia is so unbothered, she's just like make me float
OMG SHES DOING THE PEOPLE READING THING ON OBI
Obi totally smirked at her doing that, he's secretly proud
I like this little power struggle going on between Reva and TGI
Also all the best villains are obsessed with Obi Wan
Obi Wan just cannot be the bad guy can he, he's like "Good" and then asked about her little droid
Your father is a very old friend has a very sad double meaning there, he protects Leia out of loyalty to Bail AND Anakin
Reva why you doing parkour right now
Also Obi Wan genuinely drawing attention to himself to keep Leia safe
OMG OBI WAN USING THE FORCE TO MAKE LEIA FLOAT
It did look like it was a strain on him though, I feel like he legit hasn't used the force at all in 10 years
HE REMEMBERED HIS NAME
Haja may be a scoundrel but he is a jedi supporter so it makes him okay in my book
You're not alone OBI-WAN. He called him OBI WAN
Haja trying to buy Obi some time 🥺🥺🥺
Leia REMINDS HIM OF SOMEONE 🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Leia my precious child I'm so glad you grow up to become one of my favourite characters
Obi Wan could have been such a good uncle to the skywalker twins if only Anakin hasn't messed up
HOW DID HE NOT KNOW???????? OH GOD OBI WAN FINDING OUT IS HEART BREAKING
SHE KILLED HIM?? That doesnt make sense, TGI is still alive during rebels which is another five years from now? unless it's a different one to this one?
ANAKIN
THAT ENDING THOUGH, MY HEART
Amazing second episode. How did Obi not know though??? Vader is legit second in command of the empire and has been for 10 years
