Finally i found some people like me that liked the show
I got the sense that after his duel with Obi-Wan in the final episode that Vader was enraged but simultaneously humbled, like he felt like he was taught one final lesson by his former master
Watching Tales of the Empire I don’t think Obi Wan season 2 is coming back until they can tie Ahsoka, Barris and Bo Katan with the underground movement that he saw in season 1.
I love the way it’s coming together. Star Wars fans want a sprint to the finish but Dave like George is a story teller and I’m here for all the interconnectivity!
That underground movement is called the hidden path and it was spearheaded by former jedi Cere Junda and master Eno Cordova on the planet Jedha who was later killed by Vader after Bode Akuna sold them out and the anchorites that served them are scattered.
Jedi survivor is where you'll find the rest of the information. Ahsoka and Bo Katan are not part of the hidden Path.
Sometimes I think I must be one of the few that actually liked the Obi Wan series. It's good to here that George Lucas liked it too. It wasn't perfect for me, but that doesn't matter. It was a good story and I'd love to see a second season.
Hear freaking hear. Trenchcoat scene aside. Because even I can admit that was quite cringe.
I liked the story too, but the first Obi-Wan should have been about he and Luke, not Leia. Reva shouldn't have had such a major role either, specially opening up about her. In my view, that did set the stage that it's more about her than Obi-Wan. I would also like to see another series/movie without K. Kennedy's butchering it up. The timing for each week did decrease as the series continued. That should not have happened and it from what I read, was due to K. Kennedy. She really must go if Star Wars is to be restored! She's too much of the political propagnda machine along with L. Hedlund. Get rid of them already!
You’re not alone. I liked it as well!
I feel exactly the same, and look how popular the prequels are today it was not executed that well, but its still popular. In time theres much bigger time Kenobi will be considered a title compared to the sequels.
@@LeChaunce Yeah trenchcoat scene was bad but what came after was so cool.
I loved the Obi Wan Series! It’s one of the best new shows that has been made. We need more of this type of show.🙂👍
Agreed. The vader series starring Ian and d hayden
I always loved oni-wan series but I think the advertising was what killed the show's excitement.
We need good storytellers and a ejection seat for KK!
I’m not surprised he favors the show. The stuff with Vader and Kenobi feels like something he would’ve done
I figured that because what they did with Obi Wan is constant with everything we had at the time. They're Lucas purists until George says something they don't agree with then he gets tossed under the bus too, just like when he backed Bob Iger.
Meg coming in with the quiet part everyone needs to hear!!! 🫡👏🏻🤌
Thanks Meg! 🙏🏼
i may be an outlier, I saw Star Wars [A New Hope] in the theater at about 3-4 years old. Every since then i was a huge fan. My childhood was star wars. I enjoyed Kenobi a bunch. Could it have been better? Absolutely! But i really enjoyed what they did telling his story. I wish they would have focused more on the exact things you mentioned. Being older now, digging deeper into his PTSD, his loss, and him finding hope and connecting with the force again are points I wanted to see more of.
Star Trek and Star Wars raised me.
I have been a fan of Star Wars for 44 years. I thoroughly enjoyed Kenobi. I’ve watched the series several times. I am not surprised that George Lucas enjoyed the film as well.
People don't realise how often he's been consulted.
In reality he hasn't. It's Pablo Hidalgo, he lies constantly.
Maybe he tells the truth and you want to believe something.... anything else.
@@sw-gsTalking about "lies" when your "info" is based on things you hear or read, the media is not fully informed about every detail.
Lucas doesn't know shit about Star Wars
@@Spaceoctopus1776 Yeah, YOU know more than him 🤣🤣🤣
Been a SW fan Since May 1977. I agree, Kenobi was great. I really wish it had gotten the full movie treatment rather than a short series. Agree 100% with Meg.
I loved Kenobi & I never get enough Ewan & Hayden. As far as Vader not still being a learner he was & actually that fight in Kenobi only proved he still was.
I enjoyed the Kenobi series. Loved the fact that he interacted with a young Leia, who was played wonderfully by that young lady. There were some head scratching moments, but those exist throughout all of Star Wars.
I have been loving SW since Disney took over personally. I love the prequels and the originals. I grew up in them. I am looking forward to Acolyte & I loved The Bad Batch, but my kids are only concerned with Rey, Finn, & Poe. I took them to see the sequels & I wasn't feeling it as much but they loved it. So I love it. Respect to George Lucas. Move the story forward, it's uncharted territory. 💯
I never had a problem with the writing I was mad that it looked like the cheapest Star Wars project to date. It’s disturbing to me that Andor had way more care put in than obiwan.
I am thrilled that George Lucas loved the series. My wife and I loved it as well. I hope there is another show.
I think the show had potential and I have no problem with the idea of an Obi-Wan, who had some mental problems after episode 3 and needs a bit to find his way back to himself. My problems with this show are, that Reva and Leia seemed to stay more in the focus than Kenobi - the guy after the show was named. And there were some really stupid moments like the trenchcoat scene. Of course there was a bit of nice fan service like the Vader fights. But because of the stupid moments and the point that Obi-Wan fealt not like the real focus of his own show, doesn't make me think of this show so positive.
Hi Meg, awesome news update, very interesting video on Obi Wan I hope we get another series soon thank you SWM
That line at their dual in New Hope could be interpreted to When I was with you I was the Padawan
Now I'm Superior to You
Thank you Meg. I love it that you try to be fair in your reviews. Thank you for not being a rigid purist. From my experience, most of the toxicity comes from them. Keep being you.👍👍
Obi wan is the first well known Jedi. He is my favorite Jedi. I just purchased the DVD to add to my Star Wars film collection. I’m glad Mr Lucas liked it. I loved the Obi wan series.
I love George and him liking this series makes me happy
Do we know that Hidalgo is telling the truth about Lucas's reaction? To be fair, this isn't Lucas's reaction. It's Hidalgo's recounting of Lucas's reaction.
Yeah I don't trust Hidalgo one bit. The guy is a fucking bully among other things
@@ShiroiTengu True that. Hidalgo has been acting like snakes oil salesmen 😐
The Obi Wan show in itself wasn't fundamentally bad. The story makes sense and is pretty interesting in itself. I think what really toned down the appreciation of the show for many many people were some few scenes and mistakes that were so absurd, it effectively reduced the overall credibility and immersion of the show.
For example, the chase scene where bounty hunters miserably fail to kidnap Leia or the two characters surviving being stabbed by a lightsaber like it never happened. It's small details but it affects the whole show. The show felt overall a lot more childish than other recent Star Wars productions, and I think that may be why George Lucas liked it beyond the fact that it expanded on his original characters. George always tried to make Star Wars both serious but also childish, he wanted little kids to be able to watch it, and he probably found that in the Kenobi show. On the other hand, we didn't like it as much because most of us, who were kids during the OT or PT - have now grown up and we prefer more serious / mature Star Wars content now, like Andor.
Those small scenes, imo don't affect the show anywhere near as much as fans think it does. To me they're the equivalent of how bad storm troopers shot in the OT or the bad choreography in RotJ's fight scenes in the desert. People still LOVED the OT, the problem is people nowadays are pickier and more biased and have a universal dislike of Disney that anything small is exaggerated.
I have always said Disney has the best flying battles
I'm glad Kenobi exists, bc the movie edit of it is some of the best Star Wars content out there
I loved the Obi Wan series. It's how I thought he would act. I never understood why it was so unpopular. His interactions with young Leia and his meeting with Vader were spot on. I really enjoyed it. I wish there could be more.
I LOVED Obi Wan. He needs to show up in future shows, like Andor.
That last meeting between Vader and Obi-Wan on the show is so powerful. It's basically the only good thing in the whole series
What a coincidence!✨️ I just got my copy of Obi-Wan Kenobi delivered!✨️ It is one of my favorites!✨️
I wonder what George thought about the trenchcoat scene? 😂 Thanks for this video! ❤️
The dude that had Ewoks take out a stormtrooper legion and Jar-Jar take out a small army of droids by luck? I'm actually pretty sure he dug it. George can be a goofball, and I love him for it.
I was wondering the same thing watching this video.
@@leoismaking Exactly. We're talking about the same guy who wrote "Coruscant...that does not compute ...umm wait ummm...you're under arrest". If it takes grunts in his movies a while to figure out you're not supposed to be there when you straight up walk up to them and tell them this anything would fool them lol
Seems like it's straight out of Young Indiana Jones Chronicles to me.
He wouldn't have minded it because the scene made sense.
I was personally thrilled with the Kenobi show from the first episode to the last. It’s my favorite series to date.
I saw the original trilogy and episodes 1-3 when they came out in theater. And I loved the Kenobi series. It hearkend back to both Episodes 3 and 4 era. It shows Obi-wan dealing with his PTSD and Vader rising in the Empire. And I know a number of my contemporaries feel the same way. And I laugh at the critics who don't like the continual use of Tatooine.......Anakin is from there, Luke was raised there which means Obi-Wan had to hide out there. The Hutts were there for a spell which means Han Solo had to be there as well. It's a nexus of sorts for the Star Wars saga. You can't have Obi-wan on some other planet.....SMH
Well his opinion does sit well with me, because I loved the Obi-Wan series!
Everyone forget's that George had to start the retcon right away in Empire to explain Obi-Wan telling Luke that Vader killed his father. That battle in the Obi-Wan finale had to have had his seal of approval.
I loved the Kenobi series and was confused all along about the negativity. I kind of suspect some people are not fans of Star Wars as much as they are fans of hating anything Star Wars that disagrees with their headcanon.
I loved the Kenobi series and wish they would make more episodes. I’m a huge Star Wars fan from day one in 1977. I’ve always enjoyed George Lucas’s work. 😎
I think it picked up a lot after the first couple of episode. The fight between Kenobi and Vader at the end was just incredible.
The only thing I'm kinda grumpy about George's decisions is that he didn't delegate or get the ST done right after the PT. That would've been the prime time to get the Heir of the Empire era those really grumpy fans wanted.
I hope they will make another season of Obi Wan Kenobi with the story of Obi-Wan studying with Quaigon Jinn in detail and some interaction between Obi and Cody and more of his life on Tatooween as you suggested in your comments. Perhaps some of the Clone Rebellion can pass through Tatooween with Rex and Cody getting help, strategies and something about Obi-wan with Rex, Echo, and Cody (and perhaps Crosshair or Hunter) teaching clones there is a reason to live beyond being soldiers. Remember the scene with Master Yoda in the cave with the Clones in Ep 1 of Clone Wars explaining that each one of them is unique and has his own interaction with the Force. Ok Disney you have some great ideas here. Get to work 💪
they could have done more with Obi Wan Kenobi. more episodes...some similar to the arc where Yoda went to learn how to do what Qui Gon had begun to learn. that would have been awesome.
I don’t think Pablo would lie. George would refute if it was untrue.
Vader's comments still holds true. "I sense something. A presence I haven't felt since ..." and the one you quoted. There is no reference to when or what. I like adding the depth of another interaction and Vader's obsession with revenge on his old master. I liked Kenobi, but there were some things I wish were handled differently, such as how the inquisiters looked. Adding an Obi--Wan / Jar-Jar reunion would have been fun. Adding a tragedy like Vader killing some Gungans in his search for Obi-Wan would have added to the depth of his hatred.
personally really enjoyed obi wan series most of the hate I seen was from this channel to be honest most of the other channels I follow was much more positive
i am actually no surprised he liked kenobi either its a good show
I would have enjoyed seeing Obi-Wan deal with someone else. There's such a huge world. I was one of the people who didn't need to see another Obi-Wan and Vader fight. I agree that Maul could have been interesting (off-world, as we see him discover Kenobi is on Tattoine at a later time). Regardless, I enjoyed the Kenobi series, and I have enjoyed a LOT of what Disney has done with SW, especially on Disney+. Having Filoni on board has me so very hopeful for more great stories.
I would like to see more Kenobi. There is so much to explore there.
I love it so far!
I respect George’s opinion whether he likes it or not
Glad George approves. I thought the series was great! Only minor complaint is Reva's relevance, the Grand inquisitor could have had her scenes. But over all I enjoyed it!
been hoping disney will do a 2nd season. I hope this will help. I feel like all the bad fan reviews & online hate hurt its chances. Too bad George wasn’t asked about it when it was first released
So far I haven't found Star wars fans who didn't like Obi-One's series so I don't know where all the media people get that.
One of his favorite things equals its not hard to beat everything else
Hi Meg. I agree with George Lucas. The era between Luke & Leia's birth during Order 66 and their coming of age at the start of A New Hope was for me a big question mark on how Luke became the man he was. I loved how Kenobi filled in some history with Obi-won and Leia, I wanted more. I wanted much more of life on Tatooine. Showing a scene at Obi-won's job wasn't enough to make Tatooine more tangible. The scenes they showed of Owen & Obi-won in town were too short and never made us feel like we're there in the streets of Tatooine. Shouldn't there have been a few bounty hunters come through town looking for stray Jedi? There is so much thee. I look forward to anything GL would like to do in this era.
I agree with George and always have.
Except for his decision to sell out to Disney.
I just loved the series. Wish there was another season.
I did enjoy Kenobi, recently rewatched it and it’s not bad, but it’s very frustrating because the potential for it to be so much better is there. I’ll put it this way, the script needed one more draft, and the budget needed to be higher.
Assuming he'd be willing to do it, (he probably wouldn't) Disney outta do with Lucas what Marvel did with Stan Lee. Lucas should show up as a tiny role in every movie and say something silly and fun.
Someone saying that George loved it is not the same as hearing it straight from George.
People didn’t like the prequels as well. Mainly from the fans that grew up with the original trilogy like myself. I liked it. And I also liked Kenobi. I’m glad I’m actually in the same mindset as The Maker!
Loved the show he found his way back
I love all recent Star wars
I read the Legends Kenobi novel. It's excellent. I was expecting more of that in the series. I found if the series is binge watched it flowed nicer. I did enjoy the series, but liked it more a 2nd time while not waiting for the next episode to drop. It felt more movie like.
I loved the kenobi series, i hope they will come up with more kenobi
I am baffled that this show wasn’t popular. By far my favorite Star Wars show
A lot of people had already lost a lot of trust in the series by then.
which part? when flea was bumbling through the forest trying to catch baby Leia or the part where no one saw her poking out of a trenchcoat or the part when palm smacking stormtrooper helmets rendered them unconscious and gave them CTE? Don't even get me started on Reva
@@FabuBrik okay
@@FabuBrik
Yes, do us favor and don't tell us why you dislike the black female.
@@mr.o6240 I like the actress and the character concept. It was the writing that was terrible. Which was written by a white dude coincidentally...
the benefit for GL to come back is to help Star Wars as an IP and also for all those shares in Disney he now owns.
I was ok with the Kenobi series it could’ve been better but I don’t think they should make a sequel to the series. I think it would be better with just one season. If I were Director, I would do an eight episode series, but have the last two episodes time jump when Obi-Wan Kenobi was older. That way we would be able to still have Liam Neeson before he decided to quit Star Wars forever.
Very interesting!
I wouldn’t believe Pablo if he told me Darth Vader‘s armor was black! He’s already shown his true colors.
This comment section is so refreshing compared to … other comment sections. 😂
Some people today are just spoiled with to much star wars when something comes out they expect it to be what they wanted there will always be critics about star wars even at the very beginning of the New Hope there were critics of Star wars just watch it and enjoy it while it lasts
Meg you really do a great job reporting 🙌
I have rewarch the show whit my kid (8) and I have to admit , from a first SW generation … and for a Disney PG show it good, easy at some part of the show , but it tell a nice story… it Star Wars !
Same for Ashoka (witch I Love ) and surely with Dave around the story’s gona be good and satisfying
❤❤
I like the Kenobi show a lot. I just dont like how the Inquisitor palace is so unguarded compared to Fallen Order, especially since it takes 5 years later.
i think conceptually, the show had potential and the story was definitely there. but i think the biggest let down has to do with the budget and execution. for a star wars project, it didn't look all that great and i think that it suffered as a result. that my reasoning for why lucas likes the show, not because it was great overall but great in concept and he loved what they tried to do.
Chuds are going to be pissed
Kenobi was a great show!
I quite enjoyed Obi Wan. I grew up on the original trilogy, too young to remember seeing Star Wars in the cinema back in ‘77 but remember taking the bus with my brother to go see Empire at the movie theater after that May snow storm in Denver.
It may be a controversial opinion, but I love it when a Star Wars property subverts my expectations. 💜
urgh, everybody speaks for George now...
I liked Kenobi. Wish they carried it on, think there is so much more that can be explored with Kenobi
I love the obi wan show❤
Tony Gilroy gets Star Wars. A story about overcoming hate and fear and fighting fascism.
Sprinkle in aliens, mythology, space battles, mix of melee and ranged combat.
I loved this show.
I've loved all of star wars. Leave the story to storytellers not the fans
Time to watch OBK series. My most fav series of SW
This guy says George Lucas loved it. Yet we haven't herd it from George.
I really liked the Obi wan series!!
He was consulted yes, and I found the Obi Wan story was very well done showing the consequences of the Jedi order fallen, the inquisitors looking for Jedi left to kill, the meeting with the clone soldier begging for help, him leaving hidden .
Everything was sad just as it had to be after all the events happened.
But there are parts of the story creaking , no need to say where.
People seem to forget that Obi-Wan left tatooine in the "The Last Of The Jedi" book series with Ferus Olin in legends.
I loved Obi-Wan Kenobi.... and would love more of it.
He didn't say last time we met I was about the learner he said when I left you I was about to learn her and that is still true
I think there was wiggle rooom for Vader and Kenobinto have mey between episodes 3 and 4. "When I left you" isn't really saying "when we last met". It could be saying "when I left your tutelage".
I understand George if he feels that the prequels are his favorit. I love the original trilogy and it will probably always be my favorit star wars. But for me the sequels in a way describes the events leading up to the OT perfectly.
Then I know Jar-Jar and some dialogue that didn't work, but that aside, the prequels was great.
For George to achieve that with all new technology and stuff. He must be pleased with them
Then for his sequels I think Leia would have had a more prominent role and I would have loved if George got to do his version Like a what if series or just a animated special just to honor his work and what his created to get closure.
I had No Problem with Obi-Wan
I ❤️ love the Obi-Wan
The Tv
This is gonna break the gatekeepers hearts! Love this. Kenobi wasn’t perfect but it had far more highs than lows and I LOVED the Leia angle!
If George Lucas would’ve made the Kenobi series, Luke would’ve been skipping around yelling “Yippieee!!” and the rest of the scenes would be Bail Organa having Senate meetings discussing politics for hours and hours.
I have liked the Obi Wan Kenobi series from the beginning. It added depth of character to the Star Wars world. Sometimes Star Wars is a little shallow. Strength of character and character depth in the stories improves the whole storyline.
Vader said "when I left you", not "when we last met". It's simply not the same thing and it baffles me that this is an issue for some people.
The moment I left my ex-spouse is not necessarily the moment I last saw them.
Fans forget George Lucas said in 1977 that the main target audience for Star Wars was children and teenagers. The theme of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series included children. In general, when I see a Disney children's movie that I find unwatchable, I am reminded that it was meant for children not adults. As an adult that loves melodrama and charisma, I love Rogue One and the Andor series like an adult would love a soap opera that children can't stand. The Obi-Wan Kenobi series was ok. I hope children and teens liked it.
Im still waiting for season 2 considering they could have way more missions for Obi-Wan..
I would like obi to fight ashed- hett later known as darth krayt but thats my hope for more legends brought into the disneyverse
