TV-9D9 / Re: Kenobi (Disney+) - (SPOILERS possible)
« on: June 24, 2022, 09:59 AM »
Overall, I liked the Kenobi show. I'd give it an A but I know I'm a soft grader for new Star Wars shows.
Pretty much. I had really mixed feelings when this show was announced. I really wanted to see more Ewan Kenobi, but my 'head canon' was that Obi-Wan was just hiding on Tatooine, watching over Luke...
In the end, I'm glad they went the direction they did. I'd give the Reva/Inquisitor stuff a B, but the Obi-Wan/Anakin stuff was A+++ for me. Like Dave said, I wish there had been a bit more talk between them but it really helped frame up the final rematch in ANH as well as putting a new spin on a few other things - Obi-Wan didn't lie to Luke, he was just repeating what Vader himself said about who killed Luke's father.
I'm ok with that because I thought Tantive was disabled in some way - doesn't C-3PO say something about the main reactor being shut-down?
We should also all know that's how SW fans determine what's good and what sucks. Whether it fits our expectations.

I'm kinda torn on Kenobi. On one hand, I'd like to see Ewan reprise the role for a new movie about old Ben... but on the other hand, what does he do?
I've always kind of imagined he just lived out his days in the desert, studying Jedi stuff and watching over Luke. I just assumed he never really did much because why would he?

- I had a flashback to The Last Jedi and am a little bugged by the Star Destroyer vs. transport battle. The Star Destroyer managed to track down, disable, and capture the Tantavie IV without much trouble but couldn't do that with a transport?
