My Grandfather had that same look. He had seen things on the field of Combat, seen the horrors of war. Alec Guinness nailed it.
A TEMPLAAAAR
Ezio auditore de frienze: *Master? What should i do?*
Altaïr ibn la-ahad: *Kill him now..*
*DEW IT*
Alec guiness was a veteran if I remember correctly
Your Grandfather fought in the Clone Wars?
Epic.
@@ThomasShelby6213 Yeah he was in the Royal Navy. Piloted a landing craft in the invasion of sicily.
@Static Gaming thats not a maple leaf. I should know, I'm canadian
When they filmed A New Hope, they didn't even know that Vader was going to be Luke's father, so it's pretty crazy how well Alec Guinness's facial expressions work in retrospect. He looks so troubled and conflicted and really seems like he's trying to block out really bad memories and is lying to Luke to hide the truth.
George Lucas probably did intended to make that reveal since the beginning
@Jorge Funes jr:
Nope, despite what George Lucas says, he didn't have the entire story all planned from the beginning. If you read some of his early drafts of the Star Wars script, Vader and Anakin Skywalker were two different people.
George Lucas designed his character as a veteran of a terrible war (the clone wars) and wanted Sir Alec to display the behavior of someone that has seen ugly things in combat.
Jorge Funes jr Nah, he did not.
@@williamrussell7770 then he certainly did a good job at that! regardless of anakin/vader, he definitely was still in a war
Alec Guinness did serve in the Royal Navy during WWII, so that might have helped in his portrayal of PTSD.
wow :( dark but acting from experience does help
He actually commanded a landing craft in the assault on Sicily, and later ran supply craft into Yugoslavia, to partisans...Yeah - lots of room for treatment-worthy trauma.
@@TheMajorActual he shouldnt give those weapons to partisans but to chetniks.
It like Alec Guinness saw the prequels in his mind and knew what happened incredible acting
I feel Obi-wan's "deception" is more to convince himself than to protect Luke.
BS. YOu are just unrighteous in mind.
Super hard to tell! Maybe like would have given up immediately if obi wan told him straight up what happened?
"My father was a navigator on a spice freighter."
"That's what your uncle told you. Now I'm going to tell you a different lie..."
Alec Guinness said in an interview that he didn't have much about Obi-wan to go on, only the dialogue and he did persuade George to change some of it. T.ex lightsaber, George called it lasersword before Alec got involved. His performance is out of this world when you think about the few details he had been given.
Part of the reason why Alec Guinness made this scene so good was that he was an actual WW2 veteran that could recreate the looks of PTSD. A great scene in an even greater movie.
2:00 They didn't add music to that scene, just edited in clips from the prequels. That music plays when Luke calls him Obi-Wan.
was about to comment that
that it does. Perhaps she meant that the original filmmakes added it at the moment in the film itself.
3:24 Love the moment after he says, "and he was a good friend" we get the flashbacks of them together but suddenly we see the moment on Mustafar which was when it all went bad and we get a sudden glimpse of him look back like it was an intrusive memory and tries to forget and thus changes the subject which led him to reveal the Lightsaber.
Obi Wan is always a caring man who always tries to protect the people he love and care about.
Yes, this
@@Gaxelle true jedi
Guinness was part of the Royal Naval Reserve during WW2, whether or not he saw action I can't say, but he most probably knew people that did and I'm sure he knew well what war can do to a person.
I'm pretty sure that music is in that scene in the film actually
man, everytime i watch this and hear Obi-wan say, "...and a good friend...", I tear up
Alec Guinness is one of the world's greatest ever actors and he deserves a lot more than "I'm spacing that actor's name but he did a good job". Please watch Kind hearts and Coronets (where he plays 9 characters), the Ladykillers, Bridge on the River Kwai. Lawrence of Arabia, Dr Zhivago, the list is endless. At the time of A New Hope, almost none of the backstory was fleshed out and Alec Guinness was given limited direction. His performance is terrific as it leaves enough ambiguity to fill the gaps with our own imagination of what could have happened and its because of this performance inviting speculation from the audience that Star Wars is what it is today. Now that the backstory is complete, it all seems to fit perfectly because his performance allows it to.
You should definitely react to "Before the Dark Times"
"Obi-Wan's final message" is also a good one
This is better than both
What's amazing is how Alec Guiness conveyed so much emotion and meaning with just his eyes, 30 years BEFORE the prequel trilogy made it to theaters. An absolute first rate actor.
in retrospect, i regret they couldnt shoe horn in a scene between alec guiness and peter cushing.....it would have been a slice of pure history to have them on screen together.
“And he was a good friend”
Best line in the video and she missed it
I've been waiting months for your reaction to this, glad you checked it out
Yeah his acting is incredible, and I totally agree about how you can tell that his mind is wandering.
The one thumb down was from General grievous
this is why alec guiness was one of the goat actors.
Xelle-if you are interested in learning more about Alec Guiness watch Bridge on the River Kwai. He won an oscar for this role in which he played a real life and very controversial person. In ways it relates to Star Wars in that his character has to do some, shall we say, unconventional thinking to keep himself and others alive.
BotRK is a very overrated movie, in my opinion. His acting is excellent of course, but I hated the traitorous British officer he played, and the film itself is too long and takes forever to get going.
I like the look on Obi's face during the fight with Vader in A new Hope, right before Vader cuts him down...when he see's Luke and Leia together he kind of smile's like he is remembering the past...great scene...
I love this tribute. It's indeed beautifully edited. Your editing while elaborating was equally well done and fitting. Nice job, Xelle! 👍
Please react to “Maul - Hatred” by Darth Porg
One of the greatest Star Wars fan edits I’ve seen on CZcams
She already reacted on that one
Great reaction. This video (and your analysis) made me think about the old HBO miniseries "Band of Brothers." That series was based upon real soldiers in real situations during the European theater of war. People react differently under stress. This is true in times of peace and in times of war. So, the issue of Obi Wan, clone troopers or even Finn experiencing it makes sense.
One of the interesting things about "Band of Brothers" is that each episode would begin with the real-life characters offering their recollections about some of the events and what it was like to be a soldier. Some people experienced "shell shock" (a common form of PTSD). One old man stated that he still wakes up in cold sweats from time to time -- more than 70 years after those events.
If you haven't watched "Band of Brothers," that might be a great show of which you can react to. It always makes me think about what I would do if I were in similar circumstances. I'm rarely (if ever) stressed over anything. However, I have a strong sense of empathy too. It must be difficult to balance empathy with a sense of duty that necessitates in hurting others (even if the cause is just). I think that this is why "Band of Brothers" is such a great series.
Anyway, thanks for the reaction and your analysis!
Wow sounds interesting indeed. I feel like someone else has recommended this show to me as well... I'm not usually into big war flicks, but I appreciate good acting and delving into emtions.
@@Gaxelle - Thanks. I think that this is what separates Band of Brothers from other war movies or series. The story is true (based upon a book that was, in turn, based upon several autobiographies and interviews of the surviving soldiers) and told through the eyes of incredible actors.
Many of these actors were relatively unknown and went on to become stars. The cast includes Damian Lewis, David Schwimmer, Ron Livingston, Michael Fassbender, Tom Hardy, James McAvoy, Dominic Cooper, Michael Cudlitz, Simon Pegg, Jimmy Fallon, Colin Hanks, Eion Baile, Jason O'Mara and others. It is truly remarkable. Personally, I find its ten episodes as among the best and most emotionally-compelling ever produced for TV.
Even if you don't film your reactions, I'd certainly recommend it. It might be something that you and your husband can watch together.
Path of a lightsaber II is amazing, highly recommend and also, star wars always.
mmmm, there is a video called "Before the dark times" that i think you will enjoy more!
+1
I prefer Before The dark times over this, better music and edition
Yep! +1
This video was expertly edited to give Obi-Wan similar symptoms (it was good, but he doesn’t have a PTSD).
Before the Dark Times is my favorite.
@@ApocalipsisEnSabah yep
I'll have to give it a watch then. Is it different enough to watch/react to still?
Great reaction to the video I enjoyed the way it was done have a great week and stay safe!🙂🤙🤙🤙
Very touching reaction to a beautiful Obi-Wan tribute. Xelle I can't wait till you do HFP's "The Greatest Teacher Failure Is" oh my goodness now that you've seen The Last Jedi, it'll blow you away!
You are truly a Star Wars fan. I'm glad I found you channel. Good video! I saw Episode IV in the theater at age 9.
Great choice! Suggestion: Star Wars Holiday Special, which I think you'll find very interesting at this point (as well as ghastly). But I'd suggest having a guest host, because no one should watch it alone.
That can be arranged :) I may delay that a bit closer to holiday season but we will see.
There's a video called Obi Wan Remembers The Truth that, in my opinion, does this same thing as this one, but much better and much more succinctly. I recommend that one.
3:24 who cares if you forgot about the double sabers. You missed the saddest part of the video by saying that, when Obi says "and a good friend" That quote alone made me cry
They was good voice to see in fun
Thank you!
There is a legends novel called Kenobi. It takes place shortly after he arrives on Tatooine. There is a great line in that book where he is trying to prevent a war between the Tusken and the settlers. One of the instigators of that conflict threatens Obi with contacting the Empire, telling him that they will ruin his life. Obi Wan responses coldly and with more than a little bitterness: They already did. One of the few times you got to see the anger that he felt for what he had lost.
I cry at everything too much.. xD
Another great tribute that actually came out recently was one about Maul!
It's called "Maul - Hatred" you should check it out!
This gets me every time I watch it.
Yasss I love this one.
There is a video called, Maul - Hatred which you should definitely react to
Whats funny is that when you think about it, him telling Luke "I dont seem to remember *owning* a droid..." as he *stares* down R2D2...
is like him saying "Oh, you told them you were *MINE* did you?" haha
This is a really good expanded version of what *_Obi-Wan Remembers the Truth_* did. I like them both for different reasons, but they're both excellent at hitting that emotional core of what Obi-Wan's struggling with when talking to Luke.
I love this video so much because I can't watch that scene the same way again.
Alec was a top notch actor in his day...on his way out of theatre....but still having his superb acting talent....was a gift to starwars. Im sure george lucas told him about his character in depth and giving his age more than likley had friends and or family members that went through ww 1 and 2....or even the korean conflict. Im sure he picked up on things talking to them and tried to portray those aspects into the movie...Alec was quite the actor...Nailed it.
Hi Xelle and JTR.....hope lifes grand
You CAN'T not know who Alec Guinness was...and not because of Star Wars, but because he was one of the greatest actors of ALL time...daaamn. And yes, Lucas already had an idea of what the WHOLE saga was all about (of course without the details) so he directed Sir Alec to give a feeling of what happened before, and he obviously delivered, being (again) a true class act. He came from theater, Shakespeare...not soap-operas. He's the kind of guy who portrays an arabian prince and makes it so believable you don't even realize he's actually a british shakespearean actor. Hope that clarifies who he was lol
You must react to maul hatred!
Sir Alec Guinness Star Wars GOAT
Darth sidious is the sith Lord who orchestrated the Clone Wars in playing both sides from the beginning Obi-Wan Kenobi first learn the name from count dooku but pairs that count dooku have all the informations of sidious has been lost because count dooku is dead Anakin killed him for rescuing the chancellor with dooku gone the Jedi have already lost the final link to discovery of this mystery of Darth sidious
The Broken Promise is a good fan film too
Alot of bitter, resentful, & scorned single Mothers can learn alot from Obi-wan's wisdom... on how to speak about certain non-participating Fathers, who are absent in the presence of thier children's lives, inspite of the oh so many many wrongdoings on their absentee Father's behalf...
You speak of the noble & virtuous things FIRST... before you condemn all of the Father's wrongdoings & entire character arc as inconsequential...
And when the time is right, and the children are mature enough to be honest with both themselves and thier mothers... then allow them to find out the complexities of the nuanced TRUTH on thier own, giving them the capacity of the full power of forgiveness, if they so choose to use it & express it...
THAT was the purpose of the original Star Wars trilogy...
No matter how horrible and how Evil your good for nothing absent Father was... and no matter how long he was gone out of the picture... no matter how unforgivable their deeds were that they've committed... no matter how many times they tried to make a turnaround with no avail... you must acknowledge that they were NEVER born or created Evil... or intended to go down that dark path from conception...
Along with also adding... oh so many personal tragic & traumatic disasters that befell the Fathers to keep count of... to let the children know... even Fathers were still just imperfect human beings with inevitable flaws as well... getting them to conceptualize the possibility, that perhaps they ARE NOT completely gone past the point of no return... to show that thier failings of a absentee Crooked (sometimes abusive & self-destructive) Father, did not MAKE or BREAK the spirit & future outcome and prosperity of thier own children's lives...
Show them to use the lessons of Forgiveness over thier Fathers... and they will achieve a power greater than any other tool used in all of psychology, and all of modern family structural positivity
Not to reveal that the Father has no real Responsibility or Accountability... but to reveal to Children that sometimes the maturity & wisdom roles of both the Children & Parents have to be REVERSED in order to bring balanced and peace to the structure of the family unit...
And it all starts with how you decide to represent the actions, motives, and character of the Father who isn't thier to defend himself... and in what manner of light to portray them in
Thank you Obi-wan Kenobi
You need to watch Skywalker a Darth Vader tribute. Still gets me and i get goosebumps every time just the music and the quality of the video and the scence put together...
The new Obi Wan series is focusing on his PTSD.
Ben Kenobi (Obi Wan)
The Lost Echoes
Now thats a Title
It's crazy even Darth Maul could've been a good guy in the end.. He was manipulated constantly by lust & greed himself. Always being told what to do as a coward.
HI Xelle! I have another suggestion for you. Star Wars Generations (A Star Wars Fan Film). It's only five minutes long, but it's a really charming film. Provides a different take on the saga and really connects with the theme of family that is ever present in Star Wars.
I was watching this during a guitar class, now i cant get the mexican music out of my head
Please react to Maul Hatred, one of the best tributes ever
I hope you’ll see Ahsoka from Cantrous.
watch anakin and kylo ren : bloodlines
I havn't gone by the name of OB1 since all before you were born. I don't seem to ever owning a drioid. These are the lines that need to be looked at. He is Ben Kenobi, and Anakin owned the droid.
There’s a video called “The Greatest Teacher Failure Is” by HFP. You’d really like it
My only complaint for this video is that SAMURAI SOSA didn’t include any Clone Wars scenes, likely because he didn’t watch it at the time. But hopefully he’s seen it by now and this was still an amazingly crafted tribute to Obi-Wan.
Hey Xelle, hope you’re doing well today
I hope you get to watch George Lucas In Love. Also there's another fanfilm titled Appliance Wars(?), one of the earliest short film SW spoofs.
I will be totally selfish and ask you to react to my "Generations" tribute.
Just kidding, but I'd really love to watch your reaction.
Please react to the Ahsoka vs Darth Vader with flashbacks video.
Oooh most defiantly.... An undiagnosed PTSD patient...along with all from the bronze age and dark ages....lol
I have that empty stair sometimes. Lol its been a hard life. Especially the last 7 years.....its not easy to keep the dark side at bay....I guess that's why I'm Maul...I think Maul has PTSD worse...he was taught and damaged from about 6....Like a Spartan...taught how to be a killer from age 7.
All anny had to do was take Yoda to the side and explain Anakin's story is tragic but Yoda would have understood hiw want to be with Padma but he let fear consume his thoughts
Obi-wan was betrayed and murdered by your father..I feel like that would be somewhat true. It's too bad they don't incorporate Clone Wars footage in this video, as there's plenty of misery to be found for him in it. The sand people sequence where Anakin finds his mom is a lot more intense in the book. They are a lot more descriptive of what happens with her.
I think she more sad about Plo dying and not obi-wan lmao
Gaxelle, i love your reactions, could you react to "victory and death", by darth porg??
I think you'll love it ❤
Naivete, not naivetivity, I think. Although, I usually say "naivenes" which is not a word:) silly me.
Please, react to Before the Dark Times!
Thats on my list!
@@Gaxelle Awesome. :3
I like unique tributes. I hate tributes that have music kind of the same actually.
react Maul- Hatred
A gorgeous girl that loves Star Wars.... must be married😭
Nativity? Naivety?
You talked over "and he was a good friend"...are you serious?!
Doesn't even include the animated stuff
