The episode was filled with easter eggs, a swalways, but also filled with heart. Even though we know how this story plays out, it was still this heartbreaking, sad story where you just feel bad for all the people involved. Especially leia, her son grow sup to be a mass murderer. [MORE]
But, let’s get into the easter eggs, shall we? First a couple items I missed last week. ONe, the holo transmitter that Obi Wan carries and that Reva finds is the same one that Qui-Gon has in the phantom menace. Foreshadowing his eventual return.
Also,a few of you pointed out that the Grand Inquisitor is a Pa’aun, and that his species has 2 stomachs. So when Reva got him in the belly, it was never a lethal blow-just an expensive lap band surgery that explains why he l;ooked so lean in Star Wars rebels.
We open on Tatooine with some Jawas, a droid that might be R4 from a new hope [clip, blowing up], and a brand new species in star wars, the space redneck [clip].
Reva is looking for Owen, because she has decided to take revenge on Obi wan by killing a youngling he protected. After all, her friends don't get to live, so should this random kid? We threw out a lot of theories about why she;s after luke-did she want to train him, did she figure out he was Anakin's kid-and it turns out she literally just wanted to kill something to hurt someone. She couldn;t get to Vader, so she settled for Obi-wan.
I still don;t understand why Vader let her live, but whatever, it was the Force.
Then back to the chase outside Jabiim, where composer Natalie holt repurposed John williams chase scene score from empire strikes back [clips]
There are a few alien species in the transport. [3:38] In the back here we have a quarren, left is a Tarsunt, and right is a red nikto. Thanks Adam Lance Garcia for helping me out with that one.
They’re trying to make for planet Tessen, which-by the way-is a Japanese war fan. That is all.
Roken says [motivator is shot]. Which, yeah mad, you gotta maintain those motivators [R4 exploding]. Space redneck could’a told you that.“Well hell's fire boys I tell you what, this here shuttle’s got a jacked up motivator. “
I did like that Leia was spending her time on the shuttle calming down other people, not crying in fear. Showing that she is a natural born leader.
And then, back to Tatooine where Owen and Luke are shopping in town. No wonder Luke wanted to go to tosche station so badly, this is literally the most exciting thing that happens to him all day. And if these eccies running the shop look familiar, it's because this is your mom.
One thing I loved about this series is that we really get to see the evolution of Owen Lars. he’s still kind of a happy go lucky guy on attack of the clones. But in this series Joel Edgertin has morphed him into this grizzled farmer who cares for Luke, but he’s always disappointed in him. I;ve said for years that Owen was one of the most important characters in Star Wars, because he raised a Jedi. Glad we get to see a little bit of the character that explains why he is so stern with Luke in a new hope.
Then back to the Lars homestead, and hey-you ever notice that no one on tatooine is ever sweaty?
Anyways, back on the ship, Ben is trying to speak to qui gon, like he did on the first episode [clip]. You’ll remember that Revenge of the Sith ended with Yoda teaching Obi Wan how to commune with the spirit of his dead master.
I’m going to talk about Qui Gon force ghost and why Ben couldn't see him before at the end of the video.

“Princess Leia Organa. you are wise, discerning, kind-hearted. these are qualities that came from your mother. But you are also passionate, and fearless, forthright. these are gifts of your father.” Was so touching.
I literally cried!! Especially since I'm also working through The Clone Wars series for the first time and what Obi-wan said could literally not be more accurate 🥲😭😭😭
Nah that was lame
Padme was fearless too just saying, but it was a great line
@@2pacisalive915 Ratio
@@eileenengelbrecht1783 I'm jealous you're getting to watch Clone Wars for the first time! I'd also highly recommend Rebels as well if you've not seen that. Those two shows really are IMO some of the best Star Wars.
The dialogue between Vader and Kenobi was the highlight for me. Everything about it was phenomenal. That last scream of "Obi-Wan" by Vader with the voice all distorted is now burnt into my head and ill be replaying that for the rest of the week. I'm blown away.
calm down it wasn't that good nerd
The way his voice was goin from Vader to Anakin was amazing
Agree. One of the hallmarks of really great dialogue is being able to finish it even though you have never heard it because there is nothing else that be said. When Vader says he killed Anakin, it was just perfection.
Much better scream than “nooooo!”
The light coming from the red and blue sabers, illuminating their faces, going from blue to red when Vader says he’s going to destroy Obi-wan.
When Obi-Wan leaves the cave where he has been living for the last 10 years, he packs everything except for one crate. This may be the same crate where Luke found the instructions and pieces to build a new lightsaber in the deleted/restored scene in Return of the Jedi. This is why this scene happens in a cave and not in Obi-Wan's house.
The transition bewteen Anakin's and Darth Vader's voices...
The conflicting reflections of the blue and red light off of Vader's face...
Perfection 👌
The mix of Hayden/James voices are so well done. Vader's voice changing back and forth is badass and heartbreaking at the same time
THAT was well worth the price of admission right there.
Yesssss they did amazing
The Sound Dept really deserves an award for their work here. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I loved Joel Edgerton so much in this episode. You can really see how much he loves Luke. He didn’t care that Reva was a force user he was going down fighting to protect his son/nephew. Just makes his eventual death even sadder.
Yeah, I never liked Uncle Owen, but I do now.
"He is my own."
That "closest thing I can muster to a smile" he did right after he asked Ben if he wanted to meet Luke.
Yeah it definitely makes his death more impactful. But also makes you wonder how they got killed by stormtroopers when they were able to somewhat hold their own against an inquisitor.
Dude! Yes. He did an amazing job. Made me adore his character even more.
Easy they knew she was coming to kill. The stormtroopers likely showed up which by that point thier presence was routine to the planet. They just showed up and gunned them down out of the blue.
One of the saddest things about watching this amazing series (as well as Mandalorian) is the enormous missed opportunity of the sequels.
@Stephen Saul I'm not really sure what you mean. I really enjoyed this series. Maybe I'm just not being critical enough.
@Stephen Saul Ahhh, yes, that makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to explain.
Owen and Beru stole this episode for me, incredible acting on Joel Edgerton’s part especially. He really sells his care for Luke with such a short run time. I imagine for future watchers of the films, the death of Owen and Beru will be much more hard hitting. Not only will they have the prequels, but also this show to consume before they watch the original trilogy.
They where definitely good don’t get me wrong I loved seeing them but anikan and obi wan talking is what did it for me especially the fact that Hayden was in this scene and his voice was mixed with Vader it was a really emotional and sad scene this could be the last time we see these 2 actors share the screen together as aniakn and obi wan plus the history between these characters in the prequels and clone wars and og trilogy there history runs deep once brothers turned enemy’s plus Vader lifted obi wans burden of blaming himself Vader somewhat showed empathy to obi wan in a twisted way for me it was the best scene we’ve seen since Vader in rouge one and the best lightsaber fight since maul and ahsoka it was such a great scene even with just a couple lines and words to each other it’s so emotional and sad and overall a beautiful scene
It hit me last night while watching new hope… I was like, damn man 😭.
Beru is so much more hard-core than owen...
Luke was educated in moral values by Owen and Beru. He started his jedi training like 15 years late and still he became a great jedi. The one who brought back the chosen one from the dark side and started the new jedi order. They raised a jedi!
watched "New hope" yesterday, and was like ... wait wut? ... man they just grilled. didnt expect that and it do hit hard man
I loved that what Obi-Wan said to Luke about his father being killed by Vader wasn't some stuff he made up to deceive Luke, nor was it necessarily what he believed, but it was verbatim from his father. So the whole "a certain point of view" is actually Vader/Anakin's point of view, not necessarily Obi-Wan's. Loved how it gave some layers to that whole subplot from the original trilogy.
On another note, I feel the hologram message in A New Hope is not a plot hole and is being over-thought by fans. Leia specifically mentions that he served her father during the clone wars because she's providing context for why they're asking him to join in the Galactic Civil War with the Death Star imminently ready. She seemed to know that Obi-Wan and Ben were the same person in the film and that in itself was a plot hole the show actually fixed.
I genuinely loved this show all the way through! The last episode in particular was just pure 👌
Thank youuu!!!
Good call out there - i never even thought about that but you make a good point @Jack Lane
Doesn't explain why she doesn't care when he dies
Worded perfectly
Also, he told her before he left that they can’t let people know that they know each other.
Hayden was so brilliant in this show even though he wasn’t in it for as long as many of us had hoped. He made playing Anakin and Darth Vader at the same time look so easy
Vader was barely in Star Wars (when the first movie was just "Star Wars"). Bruce was barely in Jaws. Maul was barely that crappy movie with Jar Jar. Sometimes, less is more.
@@seanj3667 ggggggguguguj
He was in the Vader costume the entire time. There may have been a stunt double at times but he played Darth Vader for every episode he appears.
Because Hayden watched and studied the clone wars. His character specifically to see how his character changed through the series.
Mannequin Skywalker??? That guy sucks.
The best aspect of Obi-wan, is Vader gave him the opportunity to forgive himself.
When Vader says, "I killed Anakin." You can see Obi-Wan's facial expression change from self-loathing, to sadness for his friend. I think Vader showed compassion for his friend by taking ownership of his path, allowing Obi-Wan to forgive himself and move closer into the light of the force. This also showed there is still good in Vader, and he is still a complicated person.
In the beginning of the series, Obi-Wan had placed himself in purgatory, by the end, he was on a path towards enlightenment.
Vader didn't show compassion. Anakin did.
I don't believe there was any compassion shown there at all. It was a petty Sith not wanting to grant his former master even the flimsy 'victory' of destroying his old self. He had to claim that for himself.
In it's entirety the battle between Obi-Wan and Vader was truly heart breaking. But from a technical stand point it was a phenomenal light saber dual. And Obi-Wan proves that he doesn't need the high ground, lol. This battle has two parts, Obi-Wan accepting that he must face Vader even if it means his death and Vader going full power against him. Then Obi-Wan tapping into his love for all those around him and going OP on Vader and proving he still is the Master, and Vader is just a padiwan. And yes, when you factor in the dialogue, the acting, the music, and what it means to each character the fight is truly heartbreaking. But it is definitely the highlight of the whole series.
Ahsoka took off the right part of Vaders helmet. Obiwan took off the left side. But only Luke could fully remove the entire helmet and bring back Anakin Skywalker to fulfill the prophecy of the chosen one. Beautiful.
That’s so true. It’s very beautiful.
Copy and paste just for thumbs up. Pathetic
You comment like 8 times on every video. Why?
So, you watched the video too.
Bruh so could have obi wan easily if he wanted to
The only Easter egg i didn't see in this video that i noticed, was when Vader decided to go fight Obi-wan, he says "I must face him, alone"
He said the exact same thing in A New Hope
I love when Kenobi returns Leia's little droid, Lola, and says who am I to keep a little lady from her droid. Foreshadowing A New Hope, getting r2d2 back to Leia.
The obi wan series explained many of the lines delivered in the OT without really taking away from the message, it is the bridge between the OT and the PT that Star wars writers have been trying to make
That calling him 'Darth' almost feels like an insult. Like he refuses to use his sith name, he's just slave of the dark side.
This. He's basically implying Vader is simply a machine with not enough humanity left deserving of a name
Stan Darth!
He does the same in ANH.
Obi-Wan is the Master of Sass & he was definitely sassing Anakin calling him "Darth" - but it was also him acknowledging & agreeing that Anakin was dead.
This parallels when Palpatine says to Luke in ROTJ, “So be it…Jedi.” He spits the word out mockingly.
The line by Vader that he killed anakin ties in very well into a new hope when obi wan tell Luke, Vader killed his father this was such a good series ,and a great finale.
Dude.......this entire show is full of lazy stupid writing. Like they're just retconning everything
@@exspiravit6920 lazy lazy lazy, too much Reva
@@exspiravit6920 idek what show yall watched. Sorry you didn't get as much enjoyment as me, I really loved it! People these days are so quick to judge if somethings not their own opinion of perfect
@@exspiravit6920 if you cannot provide specific, detailed examples, then all you are is another person talking shit / regurgitating what other haters are saying.
Ben’s line to Leah when he’s leaving to fight Vader “Tell your father, I tried” was so great. Obviously has two meanings and it hit hard
I think Leia does remember Obi Wan. When Luke rescues her from the cell, he's says 'I'm here with Ben Kenobi' she exciting says back 'Ben Kenobi!? Where is he?' Almost like she is eager to see him. I agree with your theory that she doesn't mention she knows him because he told her to keep it a secret. What an asome series!! 10/10
@Bradley Cochran the originals was written before this???
@Bradley Cochran she never pretends that she doesn't know Kenobi. She simply opens her message as a diplomat recruiting a potential ally. Her final words definitely indicate a personal relationship with Kenobi as well as intimate trust. "Help ME Obi-wan Kenobi, you're MY only hope." She doesn't say "help us" or "you're our only hope," she specifically addresses that SHE needs him. She wouldn't send that message to some guy she'd only heard a few war stories about. She clearly trusted Kenobi and knew he was on Tatooine.
@Bradley Cochran I don't think he's agreeing with you. In fact he thinks, based on her message, that she clearly knows and trusts him personally. That's right, the same Leia who doesn't bat an eye when Obi Wan is later "killed" by Darth Vader right in front of her. They wrote themselves into an unnecessary contradiction, yet somehow you and I are the "toxic" fans who have a problem with it.
@@kdub3890 You can approach it with a spirit of criticism and finding fault, or a spirit of fun and open mind. I know which I get more out of but you can do it your way !
I really think majority of the toxicity in this community are 40 year old white men who don’t want change but for Star Wars to be relevant in the 2020s it’s has to change the themes have to change. They are doing their best to patch up damn near air tight plot holes from a movie in the 70s!!!! Just be grateful they’re trying! Cause when Disney scraps Star Wars to pick up dc y’all gone be real hurt
There were tears in my eyes during the dialogue after the helmet breaking. After the episode the was in exctasy. 10/10. Obi-Wan Kenobi is my favorite character not only from Star Wars, but of franchises!
I can't deny that when I heard Hayden's voice I cryed a bit. What a powerful moment.
I cried 3 times; Obi-wan telling Anakin that he was sorry for everything, telling Leia "May the Force be with you," and saying "Hello there" to Luke. Each moment was just perfect, like the whole series solely existed to make them happen.
My fandom for Star Wars has given my life as much excitement and joy as most of every last thing else in all my born days, and I'll be forever grateful to Ewan, Hayden, Deborah, and George (among many others) for gifting them to me.
Some may think that sounds pathetic, and maybe it is, but the joy is no less real, and to me, dumping on another's joy is what's pathetic. Haters are gonna hate, but we lovers are gonna love. ☺️❤️
Anakin has an obsession with Obi-Wan leaving him for dead, so he constantly re-enacts it’s it over and over… leaving Oni-Wan in Ep 1, leaving Reva for dead in Ep 5 and again in Ep 6 to Obi-Wan yet again… it’s some wild stuff how they do the same thing over and over in the most unique ways.
Thanks. Now it makes sense!
This show made me gasp and laugh and cry. I loved it. It didn't break canon, it fulfilled and embellished it.
That was BY FAR the best Star Wars I've seen in a very very long time. The fight, the dialogue, the tension, their whole story was superbly and perfectly represented in this episode. Congrats to all involve.
The last season of clone wars was my favorite of all of Star Wars. What did you think of it?
@@856Dropout It was great, but I do kinda feel like the Maul plotpoint on Mandalore was a bit forced. It felt repetitive. Good thing they made up for it with him going absolutely ballistic during Order 66.
Vader says to Ben: “then you will die” before they start fighting. He says the same thing to Ashoka in rebels after she cuts his mask.
I feel like the whole fight was a parral to vader and ahsoka but in reverse
As Palpatine says to Luke.
They definitely paid attention to Ashokas fight in rebels so many parallels
Tbh I expected an Ahsoka easter egg or reference where Obi-Wan is like "Anakin! Please! Is this what Padme would've wanted?! Or Ahsoka, Yoda, Aayla, Plo?!" Idk
@@easyJat99 lol what you said sounds like the beginning of a Dwight-Jim Office skit.
OB1: how would Padme react seeing you like this?? Or Ahsoka? Master Yoda? Quinlan? Mast-
Vader: I see you backing away towards the starship yaknow?
OB1: -ter Windu? What about Watto? Nien Nunb?? And Master Yaddle? Poor old Jar Jar?
OB1: *keeps listing the most obscure SW characters while he hops in his ship and scrams*
The "Hello there" thing was so much more than that. Hello There was Obi Wan's first ever spoken line in his first ever appearance in ANH (also to Luke), and now it was his last ever spoken line in his last appearance in Kenobi, basically bookending his story.
*quietly reminds you that Obi Wan spoke to Qui-gon after meeting Luke.
*quietly reminds you that the first "hello, there" in ANH was to R2D2*
*quietly reminds you that Obi-Wan's first spoken line was "OooooWWAAAAAAAaaaaa"*
If memory serves, his first "Hello there" was to R2-D2 hiding in the rocks after the Tusken ambushed Luke.
You could feel Obi-wan’s pain when he said, “I’m sorry.” He told Anakin in ROTS that he failed him. To see someone that was once your friend, brother, and padawan make such a horrific change had to be devastating!
Of all the things I expected from this series, them clearing up why Obi-Wan called him “Darth” in A New Hope was not one of them
He’s no longer anakin and Obi-wan won’t acknowledge him his Vader.
@@Jncook75 Yeah. Darth Vader killed Anakin, so that isn't accurate. And calling him Vader would be too respectful to the man who, as said previously, killed his best friend. So he calls him Darth.
@@Odrikah Yes, I think it's more this. It's not that he doesn't recognize him as Vader, it's that he calls him that almost in a derogatory, dismissive sense. He's just a title to him, just a Sith who lost his "humanity".
Is just me or did it seem like Vader wanted Obi-Wan to kill him. You could tell he was still attached to Kenobi the way he was screaming his name in the end you really felt it
Cz its meant to sound like that bro. He didnt defeat kenobi bcz he still wants revenge and his eyes are filled with vengeance so he wasnt focused. Obi wan removed the last from his thoughts and his mindset made him win
Right....it's like he didn't want him to leave or something?
@@graysen5532 Anakin is trapped. Deep down he desperately wants to be saved, desperately wants Obi Wan to come back and forgive him or even help him.
Once you’ve become that filled with hatred and anger and bitterness, you want to change but can’t begin to know how to actually do it. You want to beg for help, but you feel you can’t - you don’t deserve it and you know you don’t.
Anakin knows he’s too far gone, he’s made his choices and even though deep down he’s crying out to be saved, he can’t defeat his own mind. He’s his own prisoner.
He wanted Obi Wan to either forgive him or kill him :(
@@jessicadavis8865 You said it best its like he really wants to be saved and wants out but has accepted what he has become. the fact that he still calls him master shows he isn't as far gone as we think
I'm not 100% sure on this, but when Obi-Wan finally says "Hello there" it sounds different than how he said it in Revenge of the Sith. Ewan McGregor changes his inflection slightly to match that of Alec Guinness. So that's pretty cool.

The fight between the Lars and Reva gives just a bit of clarity they didn't go down without a fight in ANH
I always assumed the state of Owen & Beru's remains simply showcased the Empire's brutality, but now I'm wondering if it's because the stormtroopers were running out of other ideas
Vader's line "I am what you made me" might be my new favorite from the character (including Anakin quotes).
I love the scenes between Ben and Leia. They are so tender and full of kindness.
Except that they don't line up to canon because when Obi-Wan dies in "A New Hope" Leia barely acknowledged it.
@@michaelwilson1537 The same Leia who got over her entire home planet, including her parents, getting blown to space dust in like 10 minutes? Yeah, it's kinda how she handles loss.
There is a whole part where Vader says to Obi Wan “Then you will die” directly mirroring what he WILL say to Asoka in Rebels when she won’t leave him and he says “Then you will die” my favorite part of that scene
Crazy how they each slice a different side of his helmet.
@@Darth_Mom_2 I read a comment where someone pointed out each couldn’t fully redeem him and only Luke could hence why he was able to take off the entire helmet. I liked that.
@@EzioWood I saw that too! Love the connections.
@@Darth_Mom_2 ha I just saw it on the video as after I posted. Amazing. I do love me some Easter Eggs 🥚
“True courage is about knowing not when to take a life, but when to spare one.” - Gandalf
I feel like this quote also applies in Obi-Wan’s decision to let Anakin/Vader live. In the long run, that decision paid off. Darth Vader killed the Emperor in order to save his son. Just like how Bilbo and Frodo spared Gollum, and in the end, Gollum ended to be the one who destroyed the One Ring.
Until "somehow Palpatine has returned".
The character Gandalf spared (Gollum) didn't go on to kill millions of people. Hell, Vader had already killed countless people by the time of this series. I just don't buy that Obi Wan would let him live this time. Of course Vader HAD to survive, but they could've come up with a more believable reason, like Sidious showing up and rescuing him.
@@aldersmoke1 Idk Smeagol did kill lots of crunchable birdses and juicy fishes, and at least one raw and wriggling rabbit.
@@christianparr7592 Point taken.
You mean Gollum “ending up being” the one by literally wrestling for possession of it with Frodo and nearly sending them both into the molten lava which is AFTER he LITERALLY BIT FRODO’S FINGER OFF in order to get the ring for himself? Is that the Gollum you are trying to make seem somehow heroic or deliberate in destroying the One Ring? That guy?
I think the scene with the grand inquistor explains Vader deep hatred for him. The GI must've told Palpatine the Vader lost their chance to expose the path because of his obsession with kenobi ,leading directly to palpy rebuking Vader, and making him put aside his quest for revenge. After that Vader would've been looking for any opportunities to flay the GI alive.
Nicholoas Garrick we need that series in (Live action)
Which does go on to explain why, in the comics, after GI's death in Rebels that Vader makes him a Sith Ghost as a form of torture. Not *just* for failure in death, but betrayal to him by jumping the chain of command.
The "Space Redneck" is Ben's boss from his whale butchering job in the first episode!
Two thoughts:
1) I loved the lighthearted banter between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan picked right back up from Episode 1.
2) James Earl Jones has come back several times as Vader, but I feel like this is the first time it sounds 100% like Episodes 4-6. The sound editing was awesome in this series.
Great as always! Thanks SC.
When Vader says “then you will die,” that mirrors his battle with Ahsoka in Rebels when he said the same line in response to Ahsoka promising not to leave him.
It was so amazing, on so many levels. Especially the closing moments, you know its was more than likely was coming, but it still felt like a warm hug from an old friend.
Also so terrible on so many levels... enough with the gut stabbing. Terrible pacing, half baked ideas, such little time in building back Obi-Wans prowess. Awful series with incredible moments.
Hayden was absolutely magical. My Star Wars heart is so happy.
That fight was genuinely heartbreaking.
I believe the focus on "the living force" is what saved Obi, he goes from thinking of the past to thinking of the kids. This allows him to level up his force strength and worked to set up that he would see his old master. I also like the idea this allows for more stories to be told with "ole Ben" in his time trusting the force while he waits for Luke to come to him.
The best part of these videos is when he unexpectedly cuts to Poe saying: "somehow Palpatine returned." 😆
Well, if Adolf Hitler came back, broadcasting a message about the rise of the Fourth Reich, you would have said the same thing.
Makes me laugh every time 😆😆😆
@@gamestation2690 …and no-one would buy that either. 😂
@@deazl666 Unfortunately.
After having watched the episode. I openly wondered what Obi Wan did with that shuttle he used. Then it hit me, I think he sold it off somewhere on Tatooine and used the funds to buy why little plot of land he lived at during ANH.
Omg that actually makes sense
He also had a good chunk of money for the down payment to hire Han in the original.
I just figured after he left Alderaan, he returned the ship to the Path & they gave him a lift back to Tatooine.
Next time he went to use the shuttle, the jawas had scavenged it ;)
I love how obi wan remains stronger than vader so the line "when I left you I was but the learner, now I am the master" in a new hope still works because at this point they seperate, obi wan is still more powerful and teaches anakin here that his need for victory is his weakness
I think that statement remains true regardless of what happens in this series.
What?? No, that line made this "scene" (which won't be Canon in the future imo) make ZERO sense. That line meant they split after the Volcano world and were just now seeing each other. Can you say RETCONNED
@@exspiravit6920 nah, cause the end of the fight was Obi-Wan TEACHING Vader that you can win a fight with mercy. Did you even watch the video?
@@exspiravit6920 no what, it originally was but they did a good job making the line still work. And it's called mustafar
@@darthbane8023 that's what I'm saying
I liked how the light saber light casting on Obi-Wan and Vader shifted from blue to red by the end of their conversation.
When obi wan was talking to reva about how by showing mercy she gives him peace, I think he's also referring to anakin ,and Vader, and by showing mercy on this pathetic being (vader) that killed his dear friend Anakin, he is giving anakin peace, and letting him rest. Because to obi wan ,anakin is completely gone, and now he doesn't have to hold on to the idea that he is alive.
Agree. That was the purpose of the Reva character in the show. She followed Anakin's arc, but when faced with the same choice to kill a youngling, she couldn't, and that made the difference. Obi-Wan could not save his padawan, but he saved this "youngling" by his example of mercy. I know that brought him peace. Imagine what Anakin's life would have been like if he had made the choice Reva did. It was really touching. Anakin and Reva - two characters with childhood trauma who took different roads.
This explanation makes a lot of sense. Reading it this way makes Obi Wans decision more realistic and consistent with his character.
It had everything that I wanted on my Star Wars wishlist for this show 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You missed that when Palpatine is talking to Vader he almost repeats Kylo Ren's line about how you should let the past die. Also, Reva's arc perfectly mirrors Obi-wan's: one the master, one the learner, both free themselves from Anakin's darkness. Very well done.
This episode was so emotional. Vader/obiwan scene left me speechless
I loved this episode. Obi-Wan and Vader's dual might have been one of the best saber fights in the entire franchise. All the easter eggs and callbacks. Really my only complaint is the Star Destroyer should have easily destroyed both ships, even if they weren't trying to.
its a targeting issue. the other ships were hard to pinpoint with the gun designed for battles with much larger ships. like trying to shoot a fly with a rifle
Go back and watch the Empire Strikes Back... The Star Destroyer had just as much difficulty targeting the Millennium Falcon.
And they had no tie fighters on board... And why didnt Wader just simply follow Obi Wan with his personal ship or in a tie fighter / bomber whatever... That was lazy writing.
@@AndrasMihalyi I agree, the lack of TIE fighters was weird, but Anakin/Vader does stupid shit when he's over confident. He always has. So, I imagine chasing/harassing a crippled starship until he finally sees it blow, brings him more pleasure than having TIEs blast it to bits.
As for letting the transport go, Vader was only focused on following and defeating Kenobi (again being stupid and stubborn and single-minded). He orders the entire destroyer to follow Kenobi. The GI attempts to talk sense into Vader, but he and the rest of the crew are not going to disobey a direct order from Vader... It's not lazy writing, it's an emotional and irrational Vader.
@@indiana_holmes He might be emotional, but he's not stupid. Being a great pilot himself he just had to jump into a fighter (like in ep 4 ) and follow Obi Wan alone - and he wanted to face him alone in the first place anyhow... Otherwise a great show 🙂
He started the fight with Vader in his stance, and ended it in Qui Gon's. You see this again at the beginning of the fight with Maul in Twin Suns. Also, Owen punched Reva in her stab wound, brutal. Qui Gon leads Kenobi into Beggar's canyon and you missed an opportunity to use Poe when Vader contacted Sheev via holo. We also just got to see Vader do the first fully automatic force crush on film. He not only gave Obi the high ground but pretty much all of the ground in the general vicinity. Obi later uses the high ground on Vader again albeit a lot more literally.
Hahahahaha yess when Vader stood over Obi in the hole all I could think was "I have the high ground now" 😂😂👏👏
The real reason Qui Gon had to wait to see Obi Wan was because Obi Wan hadn’t obtained a special set of skills yet
Obi Wan also says something to the effect of "trust that things will turn out OK" much like what qui gon told obi Wan in ep1 "you must have faith." "... Faith that the universe will unfold as it should" LOVE that line from qui gon. Defo fav jedi
Ended up being a GREAT series/season. 10/10. ... Delivered Star Wars magic.
Happy I stayed outta the leaks & allowed myself to enjoy it. ... Awesome.
- Thanks for the upload. ... Tis appreciated 🙏👍 😃
hearing hayden and james earl jones mixed when his helmet was breached was just chilling man i love what there doing with vader please keep this going more obi-wan and more Darth vader best fight ever i really suggest going and just watching a video of just the fight alone like wow an amazing fight scene
Love how they explained how he and Leia acted like they didn’t know each other in A New Hope. Very well done.
I was just happy to see some SUBSTANCE infused into what these actors were being asked to do. I was talking with a co-worker today, more of a "Prequel Baby", and he asked what issues I might have had with the 2nd trilogy. #1 was how Show Don't Tell turned into Tell Don't Show...heavy handed dialogue and nudges to the audience with references without actual narrative weight.
He was like "oh okay, yeah, I get that" (he's a good kid).
Anyways I feel this show gave the OG fans what they were craving, which was something the performers could sink their teeth into. And sink they did. Bravo to that.
Now I have a head canon of about a dozen Stormtroopers that Owen and Beru took out before they were tragically burned down. Beru is a badass.
"Ever notice that no one on Tatooine is ever sweaty?"
IT'S A DRY HEAT
Tattooine is Space Arizona confirmed.
Darth Varder saying to Obi-Wan, “you didn’t kill Anakin, I killed him”. That’s a great set for A New Hope in the scene were Obi-Wan tells Luke, “Varder betrayal and murder your father”. Because Obi-Wan was not lying when he said that to Luke
I also thought Anakin’s ownership of it, and his releasing Obi-Wan of guilt, played so beautifully into Padme and Luke’s constant assertion that “there is good in him.”
Perfection.
Vader let Reva live exactly for this reason basically. Let her stew in the idea that she is no threat to him and he does not fear her revenge, forcing her to find revenge elsewhere, like the person who used her and left her to fight Vader alone. That's why they left her like that w that thought in her head.
"Revenge can do wonders for the will to live". Some people might call the stab a plot hole, but it made me think of the Bane books, when Bane digested a deadly poison and not only held it back for days with no sustenance, but was able to travel cross-planet to find a cure. Fits right in with Kylo Ren beating his wound to give himself a buff. I agree wholeheartedly with your take
I was waiting for this to come out! Thank you, for delivering!! I love your sense of humor; Doug's line about Star Wars fans made me laugh. 😆
“Beginning to think you weren’t coming” said in AOTC and Kenobi e5 before Qui Gon at the end. Was that line anywhere in Clone Wars. All three were spoken to Kenobi.
I'm pretty sure Anakin, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka all use that line in Clone Wars.
@@daniellekoski418 think it’s worth a breakdown?
I had my hand over my mouth for the entire Kenobi-Vader fight. I mean holy sh*t man! I was in pure awe for the second half of their encounter. The way Vader’s voice distortion was wrecked and he kept going from Vader’s broken voice to Anakin’s weakened and struggling voice…. I mean rip my heart out. They were able to SHOW us just how sad and broken Vader really is. You could just feel it. To go from an OP and dominant Vader figure to the broken state that Obi-wan put him in…. I’m impressed. And to mix in Obi-wans pain and regret for what he ultimately did to his best friend… this is the deepest star wars course of events ever
This fight is perfect as a 4th fight to be added to the elements video. This is a very grounded and self reflecting fight and is literally surrounded by earth. Obi even gets buried at one point
I think Vader left Reva the way he did when she was a youngling; near-death and alone...aaand the way she left the Grand Inquisitor. Vader doesn't care about those future rebels. He sees Obi-Wan getting away. He is obsessed. It really did make him make stupid mistakes. The Emperor was right to doubt him. Since these baby rebels got away, a full-blown rebellion formed, many Jedi survived and some almost killed Vader in the comics. His need to win blinds him.
I see now that Reva was the redemption that Obi-Wan could never get for Anakin. She is chasing Luke as Obi is fighting his father. Her choice NOT to kill a youngling, her choosing mercy over vengeance freed her. Had Anakin made the same choice, imagine what his life would be like. Through that scene with Reva, Obi-Wan finally got to save a youngling/padawan - even if it wasn't his own. He could put his guilt about not being able to save Anakin behind him for good. I didn't know that where they were taking her. I saw the parallel between her and Vader early on, but this redemption is especially sweet after the duel.
Facts
Hello there! What did you think of the episode?
It was amazing!
It was awesome
Very emotional😂 but great
It seems to me that Star Wars goes out of its way to reward their fans. Maybe not all the time, but most of the time. I think all of these series on Disney+ have done a great job of giving back to the fans. Of the live action Star Wars series on Disney+, the Obi-Wan Kenobi series is by far my favorite. Yes, even better than the Mandalorian. If Ahsoka can touch this a year from now, I’ll be set for life. This finale hit me in every emotional spectrum possible. Deborah Chow did an amazing job.
Super cool!
The mirroring of the episodes with the movies was lovely. I really liked that.
Anikan and obi wan talking after the fight was so emotional and sad and a beautiful scene
It was very wonderful to see qui gon again, it's been forever but, he looks great, and it was wonderful to hear his voice. I sure missed him
Qui gon is the cameo that most resembles his character in the prequels in my opinion hope to see him back in tales of the jedi!
Did you see Liam Neeson name in the credits? I didn't see it.
@@Tronblue007 I've read that when actors do uncredited roles, they basically do it pro bono. He probably just did the scene without compensation, because it's well known he loved being in Star Wars and probably was just happy to reprise the role for this small instance. I'm sure he's getting compensated for his forthcoming work in the new series he's in, so maybe this was all part of that package deal, too! 😅😅
@@PeteOliva I'm sure the studio pay for the flight, hotel & food as well.
When Luke said I am not afraid. I instantly said in Yoda's voice "You will be"
I like that Owen used the same piece of scrap to defend himself against Reva that Luke and Han used to save themselves in the trash compactor.
I took Reva hunting Luke as having figured out that "the children" were Anakin's from the way Bail Organa spoke of them... so her desire to kill Luke was to kill Anakin's child as a way of feeling she was punishing Anakin... not just because she wanted to punish Obi-wan or just want to kill someone. It makes her placing Luke in her role as youngling and herself in Anakin's role as assassin more meaningful, IMO.
this
Probably. Could have been explained better for those of us with low IQ’s. I was completely lost.
That's how I interpreted it.
when vader pushed obi wan into the pit, it was very similar to ep1, with maul standing above ob1 and both times ob1 got out of it to win the duel.
How has nobody noticed that anakin said “OBI WAN!!!” as maul said “KENOBI!!!”? It seriously cracked me up when I heard it.
If you noticed when Obi slashes Vaders helmet, Obis saber is ONLY illuminating Anakins face, not the mask. I think this is to show Anakin truly never died despite what even he thought at this time.
There is good in him. I know it.
Yes and also the fact that Anakin never tried to reach out to Obi Wan, so naturally Obi Wan stopped trying after that fight, feeling that Anakin is totally lost(dead), which in a way he was.
That apology at the end... That hit so hard... Obi spent that whole time thinking he had failed Anikin, when it was Anikin who was the one to fail Obi... He allowed himself to be given in by the Dark Side. A kid who was once filled with light and hope became sinical, and a coward. Instead of confronting his fear, and his guilt, he gave in and coward to it. Always looking for others to make him feel better about how shitty he felt. First Obi, the Palpatine, who he now gives his "loyalty" to, thinking what...? That things will get better? All that wasted potential to make change... To live the life he had originally wanted with Padame and his children, gone. I don't feel sorry for Anikin. Never have. Never will.
It's Anakin
Yeah, this episode got to me as well. At the end when he's saying goodbye to Leia - that made me tear up pretty bad.
Overall I really love this show. I think it's ok if they don't do a season 2, but for sure I'd watch that, too. :)
The last " somehow palpatine returned" got me spitting my water out of all ends.
PLEASE 🙏 continue with random mom jokes 🤣😭😭 always gets me! 🤣🤣👏👏👏
From the weakest start of any starwars property to DAT FIGHT what a journey this show was thoroughly enjoyed it after the first episode well done Deborah Chow
You're always bringing us the best breakdowns, Ryan!
I'm not gunna lie to yall when Vaders mask was open showing anakins face and he said "You didn't kill anakin... I did..." that shit literally brought tears to my eyes. Being someone that relates to him on a very personal level my life was also destroyed due to a lust for power and being pulled to darkness. Imo he is one of the most relatable characters ever created.
Haha that picture of Mark Hamill out front of "Tosche Station" 😅 He looks so happy lol like; "Finally!!" 👍
I eagerly await these videos of yours. Your insights enhance my appreciation for these Star Wars episodes.
Darth Vader: “Have you come to destroy me, Obi-Wan?”
Obi : “I will do what I must!”
Disney: “Then let’s create the most memorable lightsaber fight ever!”
It wasnt
I’d say versus Darth Maul is the most memorable
@@mattm8098 Ahsoka vs Maul is my personal favorite but Maul's death scene is also up there
I loved how they combined anakins voice with vaders voice
3:11 Reason why no one on Tatooine is ever sweaty: 'The Force.'
I love your breakdowns/EasterEgg videos, and appreciate the hard work and effort you (and Doug) put into each one!! You have my gratitude, respect, and subscription, for as long as you decide to continue doing this!
The best episode by far. The final fight was both awesome and heartbreaking! A lot of people seem to dislike this show for some reason, I think its the best Star Wars media in recent years. I'm hoping for more original trilogy stories!
I totally agree! I cannot understand the hate this show has received. People are incorrigible...
When Doug says "I understand" I lost it!!!!! Hilarious!!!!!! Love Doug
I like that when we first saw reva in ep. 6 you can see her eyes are bloodshot and she's just exhausted and the only thing keeping her alive is her need for revenge
The ghost also appears at the end of episode 6 of this show as it did with the movie
Vivien Lyra Blair deserves an Emmy. She was easily the best part the series, IMO. 🙂
The way the camera slowly panned out after vaders conversation with palpatine, it showed how vaders castle almost mirrors his face mask. That was pretty nice
That mom joke was subtle yet priceless!
