He always gets his ass whipped by Kenobi. And he senses Leia in ROTJ. This is problems with a story written backward.

He was able to sense Luke's thoughts regarding Leia. Luke, of course, was a fledging Jedi with a fraction of Kenobi's experience or training, and no ability at all to mask his feelings.

Cinevore Re-score of the battle.

Kenobi owns Anakin’s ass like Mahomes owns the Broncos. Kenobi literally had to suicide himself in A New Hope because Anakin is a giant failure. Anakin failed his order, master, children and his emperor. Dude is a failure.

Other than Reva's terrible character/arc, I actually enjoyed the last 2 episodes, even if you have to turn your brain off to do so.

Loved this ultra necessary line.

"I have to face him, master. Whether he dies or I do, this ends today."

Proceeds to trounce Vader, acknowledges there is no Anakin anymore, and then still refuses to finish him and walks off.

It's so hilariously bad.

How many ****ing villains in shows have we seen not get killed because of either something they schemed, or events taking place that prevented the hero from finishing the villain?

It's like these writers all sat around and all they could think of was "Obi Wan walks away again, cementing him as the most unfathomably stupud dumbass in the universe".

Also, Vader talks MAD SHIT for someone who got his legs and arm cut off, and was left a melting screaming torso the last time they had a true throwdown.

"That's why you will always lose"

Lmmfgdao. Yeah, to win you have to be dismembered and set on fire amirite?

They really should have put the Qui Gon scene before the Vader fight. Would have explained Obi Wan suddenly becoming powerful enough to beat Vader.

"I have to face him, master. Whether he dies or I do, this ends today."

[Morgan Freeman voice]

That was a seriously satisfying finale.

I got some big time tears going when Obi-Wan was telling Leia about her parents, and the Leia theme from the original Star Wars came in.

MY EMOTIONS

Also love LOVE LOVE the way they used "hello there." They kept that powder dry the whole time LMAO.

Vader getting his helmet cut open on the opposite side where Ashoka got him in Rebels was pure poetry. Ashoka gets Vader's right side, Obi-Wan gets Vader's left side, emphasizing the master/student relationship between each party. (Obi to Anakin's left, Anakin to Ashoka's left).

In the end they both leave him and neither can get through to Anakin.

Only Luke, who stays with him until the end, no matter what, can fully unmask Vader.

Vader's lines really show you what a psychotic break Anakin has had. He's mentally ill. He's a victim.

Qui-Gon was perfect. Just the way Ewan said "Master Qui-Gon" and Liam said "Obi-Wan."

Exactly how they pronounced their lines in the Phantom Menace.

We need a season 2 with Obi-Wan absolutely wrecking the flora and fauna of Tatooine in defense of Luke.

"Your Uncle can hold off a Tusken raiding party with one blaster!"

GIMME

Such a silly line for them to have thrown in knowing damn well neither of them dies.

Obi-Wan found his purpose under the rocks. That's what gave him the strength. His purpose shifted from attacking Vader to defending the light.

Obi Wan be like

I haven’t watched the finale yet but this sounds like another good example with a main gripe I have about these Disney+ shows that I posted a few days ago.

He does not sense Leia in Return of the Jedi. He senses Luke's fear about Leia and Luke's wanting to protect her....Luke gives it away in his thoughts.

There were some low points in this series, and Reva's storyline was a complete disaster and contributed nothing....but the highs of the show were great.

Obi-Wan is perhaps my favorite character in any medium, and Ewan's perfermance was epic.

Overall, I liked it a lot despite its flaws. It could have been much, much better if they had focused on the story and not diversity bullcrap.

Name a bigger bundle of sticks than Clay.

I'll wait...

tell you what, there was an old episode III script...maybe it was fan fic or something, can't remember...but it was amazing

and the third act of the movie was obi wan, thinking he had killed anakin, facing down darth vader and not knowing who it was

and it was revealed during the fight, and it was absolutely amazing, way better than any of the prequels

i remember reading that way before the prequels came out, and thinking MAN THE PREQUELS ARE GOING TO BE SO AWESOME

and then we got 5 seconds of vader in ROTS

this series scratched that itch for me

i need to find that shit and read it again

Thanks for that.
Good humor ,I liked it a lot.

Mando is still the best imo

moses ingram wasn't a diversity hire...the character was great and the actress did a respectable job bringing her to life

rey was a stupid character with a dumb, unearned arc full of mary sue bullshit

reva's made sense, and no one was else was kucked to her benefit

OK. Fine. I'll watch the last episode. It better not suck.

Well, I'd say the big fight made the episode. It was pretty much as good as I could have expected. If they make another season I'll tune in to see how it goes.

There were a lot of really, really annoying points in the series. Like Obi-Wan and Leia fleeing in that ship where they look around like "Oh no, these people must not die!' when it's a ship full of characters that no one gives a flying **** about and we all know that the only two important people on it will survive. Or Reva bum rushing Owen and Beru to kill Luke when we all know that it's a big nothingburger. I actually did like Reva's arc well enough. Redemption arcs are baked into the mythos. They are just part of this universe so you might as well get used to it.

Leia is supposed to be 10. A well educated, highly intelligent, force sensitive 10 year old. I thought the character sucked.

man, can anyone find that old fake episode III script? i remember loving reading that back in the day

https://www.somethingawful.com/comed...real-leaked/1/


?

Meh. I’m not going to Stan for her or anything but I thought it worked. At the end anyway. Early on I thought it blew.

LMAO not that trash

i remember something about obi wan and vader fighting in a factory

I think she did better towards the end of the season and the dialogue written for her was better as well. I'm just disappointed that it wasn't handled better.

be still my blessed nerdling heart

Damn good finale.

****ing awesome.

Was it as good as Rogue One? Hell no.

Was it as bad as The Last Jedi? Hell no.

Did I enjoy watching Obi-Wan and Vader beat on each other? Hell yes.


I was entertained. I wasn't blown away, but I enjoyed it. It dragged in parts, and other parts it paid off.

Obi-Wan kicked Vader's ass.

The origin of Vader's head scar was an interesting touch.

They are talking about another season?

**** no. That's as wrapped as a story can get.

I don't think that's where he got it. Wasn't it already there during ROTS?

They can absolutely do another season.

Just make the focus smaller. Local trouble on Tatooine. Show Luke and Biggs racing T-16 Skyhoppers.

End on a fun connection to ANH. Ewan with white hair, sitting in his hut, fondling his lightsaber. Off in the distance, a Tusken Raider bellows through the Jundland Wastes.

"Blast! I'm really getting too old for this sort of thing."

FIN

I enjoyed his boulder leap into the high ground, and then he used his offhand to land the decisive blow from above. Vader can't lift his arms over his head. Power move by Obi-Wan.

I don't think *think* we've seen that move from him before but there might be something similar in the duel with Maul. There was some fun choreography in there.

DAMN the production stills from this

That reminds me, I thought the young actor they chose for Luke looked absolutely ridiculous. Not sure what I expected, but that was NOT it. He just kind of had a dumb look that bothered me.

LOVED the finale. That was a lot of fun and had some soul to it (rather then the paper thin nonsense of the past 6 episodes).

Really enjoyed it. Fun ride

The character was not great. It nearly killed the show...there was nothing Reva brought to the table that one of the other Inquistors could not have done---Have the show start with the Grand Inquistor in the Jedi Archives, studying Kenobi's history....have him make the connection with Bail Organa and go from there.

Reva's whole motivation is the last episode was shit---I am going to avenge my youngling friends by killing a ****ing child--are you kidding me?

It is pretty clear that Lucasfilm took a look at the characters in this story and realized that they were all already established, and that they had no "representation" in the show...so they scrambled around with rewrites and came up with Reva.

If Reva had died in Chapter 5 like she ****ing should have (apparently getting sliced through by a lightsaber is just a ****ing flesh wound now days)...then I might not be as critical of her story arc....but her reasonings and motivation in Chapter 6 make no sense, and honestly, I wanted Owen to nail her with his blaster like he does when Tusken Raiders come around.

Overall I liked the show, but Reva is right up there with Rose Ticco and those asshats in The Last Jedi--they bring nothing good into the Star Wars universe.

Most kids have that dumb look.

They really wanted to show innocence, and blind optimism. It makes the realization of who his father is that much worse.

This was my biggest problem with it as well. Made no sense at all.

Just like Vader leaving her alive made no sense at all. And of course Kenobi leaving Vader alive made no sense at all, except for the fact that he couldn't be killed without ruining the continuity of the show. But killing her off would have been fine. Would have made more sense if another inquisitor found the hologram and went to Tatooine, and Kenobi had greased him just as he was about to kill Luke.

Oh well. It had some stinky plot holes, but still I liked it.

This dude is notoriously hard on Star Wars fights, rightfully so, but he liked the fights in this.

Yeah, the choreography in the last fight was fantastic. Not surprised though as both Ewan and Hayden seem to love doing it. There's a ton of footage of them just going to town with each other practicing.

It's bothersome that they diminish Vader when he goes up against a well established force user outside of Dooku it gets disappointing

you can't have a redemption arc for the grand inquisitor, nor can he confront vader

you ALSO can't have vader going to tatooine

reva is also a mirror image of anakin skywalker, but chooses a different path, which informs kenobi's character arc of him proving to himself that he's not a total failure

she wasn't the greatest supporting character ever, but she wasn't awful...she was an effective plot device, and her performance made sense given her character's motivations

why?

vader has always been a front-running bully beating up on weaker competition to make himself look good...hence all the choking of officers and flamboyant cape waving...oooh look at me, im so evil! ****ing drama queen!

hell he let luke get a hit in on him in empire

Obi-wan!!!!!

I wanted to see him OP against equal competition instead of looking for an inhaler bitching it up with his feelings.

you do realize, vader basically won two fights against kenobi...and the OT ended with Vader needing an inhaler and bitching it up...

you got that AND you got Vader being an absolute monster four times in this series...

you got EVERYTHING you could possibly want

The way I took it was that she was in the process of transcending completely to the dark side during the season. All of her motivations were dark side stuff. In that moment if she had killed Luke then she would have done it and become a powerful villain. That last scene between Reva and Obi-Wan was good, it was well done. I only hated the bullshit editing of mixing her meaningless fight with the real one.

It highlights that Obi-wan would've beaten him during ANH but chose to sacrifice himself(the sly grin).

After ROTS, the narrative gave me the impression that Vader exceeded Obi-wan during their duel in ANH and Kenobi decided to tapout because he held out just enough for Luke & Leia to escape.

Damn!!!!

<iframe width="1280" height="533" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ogcd-etnFLw" title="Darth Vader | Sith Lord" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Obi Wan sacrificed himself in ANH because it made Vader lose his hate boner (that and he knew there was no way he was getting off anyway).

Once he was only focusing on his son he went full beta.

And by the end of Jedi it comes full circle and he realizes how much he hates Palpatine.

That wasn't necessary because Obi-Wan always beats Ani. They established that in RoTS and earlier on in the sparring match. Anakin is powerful, making him cocky and act foolishly. Obi-Wan knows him too well, which is why he always wins.

I really liked the final showdown. There's just something about the glow of those sabers in the dark. This one wasn't as cool as the one in ESB or ROTJ but still good.

On that note, small nitpick, but I really love the glow of the green sabers as opposed to blue. If I was a Jedi I'd def have a green saber.

The conversation while Vader's helmet was cracked was great too. Loved the switching of the voice from Ani, to Vader, to something else.

Tarkin basically bossing him around.

The glow of the lightsaber was the best part of the conversation with broken Vader.

When he started talking the glow of Obi-Wans saber was shining in his face. When he starts talking about how he killers Anakin, it shifted to the glow of his red saber.

They used the glow of the lightsaber to show the influence of the light/dark side several times.

That was really good.

It was the best Star Wars since Rogue One.

Perhaps one of the top 3-5 scenes ever.

Amazes me how fast Vader gets his shit repaired.Does he have extra helmets just laying around or what.But hey its Star Wars,never ask how i guess.

Dude has the resources of an entire galactic empire at his disposal.

So, yeah, that's not the part that I have the hardest part believing.

That's high ass praise. I should probably rewatch all the cannon before I make any conclusions. Because at this point I was surprised how moving this scene was.

https://iamgeek32.files.wordpress.co.../05/ahsoka.jpg

I take it back.

Luke in the final episode of Mandalorian is amazing, too. I probably rank it above the Vader/Obi fight, but it's damn close.

Haha,i get it, but i want to see shit like that,i know they showed him in the Bacta tank,but 30-60 seconds of him getting his respirator and helmet fixed shouldnt be too much to ask for.

id like to see how he takes a shit! does he just go in the suit? so many questions!

what does he eat? does he burp or fart? ruin the magic of star wars with mundane ****ing shit!

oh my
