Hats off to you for actually making a Star Wars story with love for the franchise which we can't say about Disney.
    And by the way if this gets popular enough you could consider crowdfunding some money to hire actors and animators and making this into an actual thing. (Though I don't know much about the legal implications of this, but I'd guess if you don't monetise it, it should be ok)

    This is so beautiful, thanks for writing this, the characters are perfectly in character, so everything with Satine and Qui-Gonn feels like Canon to me.
    I've recently seen a TV-production up close and now I think why something like this would never be made. You started with the story based on what we know in the timeline and how the characters would behave. But production companies are based on getting a budget green-lit based on a concept and then patches up the story as they go. So the first thing for them is, who will be in the cast and what will they cost? What sets do we need? What special effects team do we need? and so on. Then they feel, "Oh I think we need a second smaller antagonist that is not Vader", they invent the third sister, casts the role, makes a budget, and then the final screenplay gets made. In edits they decide to change something more, ads or removes something to make the story work, and then they feel the story is ready to be broadcasted. It's a sad methodology for the story, but it is probably like that - the best for the story would be if the story came out in book form, kind of like your reading, and was then filmed. Then we could have beautiful Star Wars-stories in Live Action with events based on story, not on practicalities.

Like still practicing with his lightsaber, but just that. It’s no more than something to keep his strength, or do it to say he’s doing it.

    I love how Obi-Wan is far more reflective here than in the show. The flashbacks add subtext to the current timeline and give the audience an insight to Ben's regrets as a Master and his faith in the force and the Jedi way. The premise of Kenobi trying to regain his confidence and faith in the force through his communication with Qui-Gon, by spiritually speaking to him through the force and physically speaking to him in his memories is a fantastic way to show Kenobi's arc in this story. This would show us how Obi-Wan must reconnect with his past so that he can have hope for the future. He doubts if he and Yoda made the right decision to separate the twins and to not train them yet. I don't think the show really hammered home WHY Luke just needs to be a boy. Kenobi just kind of says it at the end. I love the way you wrote Qui-Gon's line explaining why a Jedi must let go of attachment. "There are those in this galaxy who refuse to give up anything, and because of them. there are those who must give up everything." With great power comes great responsibility. in the Dark Times Kenobi's responsibility is being tested like never before.

    It's understandable that it can be hard to keep track of everything that happens in Star Wars from the movies, shows, games, and books but I think what most fans would appreciate is just some level of reverence for what came before.

What Thor has done here with this video adds a structure to the story that knows and uses what came before but still does its own thing.

    Awesome! Very interesting beginning of the story. I love all of it! And you are telling it in a great easy to follow way. Hearing the story and hearing it from you, is very enjoyable.
    I think you are great story writer and story teller. I wish this was the story of first episode of the Kenobi series from disney.
    Definitelly keep on writing the story and telling it to us in this format. I want to hear much much more from you!
    And if possible, keep this long length of the episodes. It's very immersive when the parts are long like this, it gives it a feeling of watching episode of an TV show.
    Keep up the great work! And thank you, thank you so much, on this and all other formats of entertainment!

    Thank you! This is wonderful! It’s so gratifying to hear well thought out stories told by someone who’s passionate about Star Wars, and who honors the established lore and characters. I’m really looking forward to the next installment. Maybe you can come out with a “movie” version too, that’ll be awesome!!

    I'm loving this version. I really like the opening "nightmare" and how we immediately dive into Obi-Wan's personal life of what could've been or might be.
    Great stuff Thor! 🙏

    As a massive fan of the Kenobi novel, I love how much of a continuation this seems to be. I knew as soon as I heard you call Rue by her name that you were onto something, and you did not disappoint.
    I’m genuinely excited to hear what happens next, more so than I ever was with the show, which is unfortunate m, but at the same time good for the video I guess lol. I cannot wait to see more Thor, and I mean it when I say you bring the most meaningful discussions to Star Wars on CZcams, and thank you for that.

And it was not necessary to appologize in the beginning for taking things slowly, that was the right pacing. Btw, I've been watching numerous channels on Star Wars, however, I like yours best for the simple reason that you remain balanced in your critique and praise. Pls continue doing so, I really enjoy your content!!!

    Definitely looking forward to hearing the rest of this story! I appreciated that Obi-wan is still a Jedi, still keeping his chops up through training, and is still trying to maintain the monk lifestyle of a Jedi while struggling with doubt as to whether it is worth it. Loved the flashbacks too. Keep it coming please!

    WOW!! this was AWESOME!! As someone who was originally disappointed by Kenobi, I really think this is SO MUCH BETTER!!! I found myself genuinely interested in this "fake" story, when I had failed to be interested in the ACTUAL show. I love this SO much, and am sitting on pins and needles for the next episode! P.S. I would also really love to see a version of this for the Book of Boba Fett, I think that would be super cool as well.

    Thor, are Disney hiring? This is their chance to get someone in the writing staff who actually gives a damn about the universe and its consistency. This already sounds so much better than what we actually got. Can't wait for part 2!

  • @bruulbrainsmasher1210

    @esharp86 Před rokem +1

    Uuuuuugh so good!!! I’m groaning because this opportunity was SO wasted! What do we know about Obi from the Disney show that we didn’t already know? Frigging nothing! No character in it at all. No heart. The closest we got - and my favourite moment - was him discussing his family with leia and it was so fleeting. Sad.

    39:54 Man, it's at moments like these that my cult sense really goes off. Not any fault of yours Thor though, it's been a common theme throughout the saga.
    Maybe this is why the Jedi are flawed. They basically kidnap children at the earliest opportunity, indoctrinate them in their ways, never let them have attachments or relationships outside of the order. And if you try to leave the order, you are shunned and heavily criticized by basically your family at that point. No wonder Anakin was so emotionally vulnerable growing up. I wonder if things would of been different if they let people choose to train in the Jedi ways after they grow up and live a normal life. Then that way it's not so forced on them.
    Not sure if Lucas envisioned them to be this way but it sure shows off as such. Btw thanks for your vision on this show. It seems interesting and would love to hear more!

    • @dramwertz4833
      @dramwertz4833 Před rokem

      The problem is that there are few options in the star wars galaxy. Not choosing the cult you risk more and more fallen jedi. While the jedi are horrible they are the best option

    I like what you're doing with it so far. I GM the Star Wars RPG and it's become a mantra of mine that if you want to see a good Star Wars story these days, you have to tell it yourself. Glad to see others taking the same approach.

    Only 12 minutes in and the writing is already on another level! Really great job and I'm looking forward to hearing the rest.
    Edit:
    Just finished it and oh my god. This is what I was hoping for when Deborah Chow promised (and arguably lied) that Kenobi is going to be more of a character focused story rather than an action one. Seriously, I'm blown away by the quality of this writing, it just shows how much you know about those characters, how much you respect them, and how much you love them. Really, really amazing job, and I can't wait for the next episode!

  • @deathonredbull
    @deathonredbull Před rokem +1

    Most enjoyable. I sat and listened to this like an audio book, and let the pictures paint themselves. I agree with other commenters that it's already a vast improvement over what we have from Disney. I like the 'lost romance' angle, and how that personal relationship, and its effect, is explained to tie in with Obi-wan's connection with the force. Kenobi doesn't yet have a true mission, but we can see he's already somewhat compromised and desperate, and this cues things up nicely for the yet-to-be-revealed true plot. The personal spin on things is what was really missing from the Disney version, and the tug of war between his longing for romantic love and his duty as a jedi is a great device to bring motivation and conflict later on.
    Some might argue that having Obi-wan deal in anything romantic (even to be shown to be thinking about it) is too fan-ficky, but I think you've handled it skillfully and credibly - he is, after all, only human.
    If you'll permit me to provide any kind of gentle feedback, I'd offer that one or two lines of dialogue could be a little more in-character. Qui-gon tends to speak more formally, and instead of saying "...and for a similar reason, I figure", he might say "...and I suspect, for similar reason". Instead of "You came to care a great deal for Satine during our time protecting her", it would sound more Qui-gon to say "You came to care a great deal for Satine while she was under our protection". Somewhat the other way, though, "Something similar happened to me while I was an apprentice of Dooku" might sound better as "Something similar happened to me during my time as Dooku's apprentice".
    Amazing work, though - please continue - I'm fascinated to find out what happens next!

    Really like this story so far! Love having young Obi-Wan flashbacks with Satine, their relationship never got much coverage outside of CW so it's sweet to get that here. This being Obi-Wan's series, I think it's important to focus a bit on what she meant to him. Also loving the increased role it looks like Quinlan will have in this version. All in all, can't wait for part 2!
