Oh, it's beautiful...
Hello there!
Star Wars Theory it sure is friend.. it sure is
If you could enlist more people like this to help with your vader project, maybe the money would be less an issue
Another happy landing!
Yeah
Did I just witness an “Hello There” battle between two Kenobi’s???
And both Kenobi's saying "hello there" to each other
@@thereviewtube7907 ......That's what OP said
Inception!
Order 666! Spooky!
I don't get it is the other guy a kenobi
The only real reason Owen wanted Ben to leave was because he wanted that sick man cave.
Damn straight

The actor is an impressionist by craft. He had a few moments where is sounded very similar to Ewan McGregor, but also, Alex Guiness. Enjoyed it.
yes he is incredible. I catched that Ewan McGregor and Alec Guiness moments. So exiting
And jar jar
It's an Embodiment not an Impression. His performances are so much more then an Impression.
The actor who plays the Imperial Captain that comes up to them and speaks is the same guy who plays Obi Wan in the animated series.
@@darknightmeh1748 Perfect wording: embodiment.
After watching the first episode of Kenobi I’m in awe at how much was clearly inspired by this fan film
They have been stealing ideas from the fence for years now it's not surprising
Eh probably not
This fan film is better than the show, and I'm genuine about it.
@@henrykkeszenowicz4664 Lucasfilm should have ditched the story group (the guy who didn't know that Obi Wan knew Annakin was Vader and Hidalgo) and hired Jamie Costa and James Arnold Taylor to make the series with McGregor. Less money, better quality and maybe a cameo with all three in one scene: a big win-win for everyone. It seems Disney/Lucasfilm, the more they press the message, the quicker money escapes their clutches.
Yess
Did anybody else grin from ear to ear when Jamie said “hello there”?
Yeah I laughed too!
Me!!
Yea it got me too😂😂
Definetly
i cried
“Don’t I know you from somewhere?”
“Of course I know you. You’re me”
"My uncle told me you were dead"
"Oh, I'm not dead. Not yet."
This should have all the likes.
gooooood~ :)
@@coledavis5212 That's the joke
Who here is watching this again after the Obi Wan Kenobi trailer drop? I immediately thought of this beauty and had to go back to rewatch it! Phenomenal work!
Same!!! Oh man I wonder of Disney saw this and was like. That! It's gotta be like that!
@@seanblakely4375 It's possible, but personally I hope they didn't. Disney shouldn't come anywhere near this gem. Even for inspiration.
Same
nobody lol
Here I am!!!!!
This is way better than what a multi-million dollar corporation did.
This is the REAL Kenobi!
Too bad Disney changed Lucas' vision just to put Vader in the script. Seems like his Force powers come and go as needed, like a Marvel character.
Alec Guinness delivered his lines with authority, Ewan McGregor just doesn't measure up.
Meh, this isn't any better or worse
multi-billion :sob:
Yes it is@@Jason75913
This can't be Star Wars. It has a coherent story and seamlessly adds to the original canon.
Coherent story? Uhm the prob is if the Empire sent out a crew and they all got killed they were ( the Empire) notorious for investigating especially when a high ranking officer is killed, ( by a bunch of Sandpeople at that) ....wouldn't happen....
@@badmonkey2222 Good point if that's true. I assumed they were disposable low level census takers, not high ranking. Either way, we don't know what happens next. They could come back to investigate.
Also, although some elements don't make sense, at least they're attempting to respect the world and not shamelessly destroying and twisting all of the established lore and characters.
@@badmonkey2222 Hey, if I have to believe Leia can force Mary Poppins herself out of the vacuum of space, it's easy to overlook this detail.
@@OfficialTonyD Lol you did have a point.....but I'm not going to sit here and call this low-budget attempt with subpar acting at best better than anything Disney's ever done because it's simply not true and I'm not a Disney fan let me make that clear.
@@badmonkey2222 also at that age Luke would have been able to remember a lightsaber in a new hope, breaking the continuity when he sees it in Episode 4
The way obi wan speaks is so accurate to his character. This is Canon to me
Lets see, at the start Obi was depressed and off his A game which caused him to get mugged by the sand people. His self confidence was so low his Affect Minds force skill didn't work for him and his reflects were really off.
After he got his mojo back and went to talk to the last storm trooper, he didn't even bother to wave his had to effect that guys memory.
Over all it was fun to watch.
Why don't the S.T. have radios in their helmets ?
Also in canon, S.T. helmets record ever thing they see and hear.
what freaked me out, is that his voice sounds like old Ben from A New Hope. Star Wars needs this guy for real.
@@krispalermo8133 I have to agree. And I thought it was good to have him make mistakes, or not be on his game. Just like anything, if you don't keep training, like working out in the gym, what happens you get small, your not as strong. Well our minds or brains are the same. He hasn't used his powers in years, or his saber. He even had a hard time getting it back like Luke did in Empire Strikes Back, when it was just a little bit down in the snow fighting the snow creature. I thought this was a great way to start a Kenobi series.
This is truely my master
I believe the voice actor is the one from the clone wars
The way he straddles the line between Alec and Ewan is INCREDIBLE! I would buy a theater ticket to see this for sure.
This it what happens when someone cares. 11:42 onward = one of the best scenes in any fanfilm I have seen, you can just see and almost feel as he, blinded by the sand in his eyes, lets the force flow and starts defending. The change of music, everything outside fades out into the backgound, and he becomes one with his weapon. Choreo, music, visuals, just perfect.
Fan films are a path to many abilities Disney considers.... unnatural.
They can even keep the franchise we love.... from dying.
How does one learn this power?
Lee Haiko Not from a Disney
@@garrettgurley3473 best comment ever! 😂
@@leehaiko3999 *Is it possible to learn this power?
It’s ironic, the people keeping Star Wars alive are the very ones Disney is trying to silence.

*spiderman twin meme shows*
What
this 20min is more refreshing than the first 4 ep of Obiwan combined.
You know what, the music absolutely blows away the Kenobi show on Disneys score.
Other than the main theme because John Williams. I agree otherwise.
I think it was said somewhere they purposefully avoided using Star Wars music for the series. What an absolutely idiotic idea. Not only do they not understand the universe of Star Wars but they don't understand music, one of the most integral and important part of everyone's lives and experiences. A large portion of every Star Wars fan's love for the universe is the music.
@@mathewstafford7943 Well, they used some Imperial March and Force theme in the finale...but only one minute because they are greedy.
@@mathewstafford7943 there's a 2.5 hour fan edit by a dude named Kai Patterson and he adds in the old music. You wouldn't believe how much that improves things
Sounds like the Mandalorian sound design in places, which was fantastic
I love how u got James Arnold Taylor as an imperial officer because he does the voice of Obi-Wan in the clone wars
Ikr
And the thing is his voice fits really well as an evil officer too!
Really? How did he come on?
What I mean is, how did you get him to be an imperial officer?
That’s the guy that voices Obi-Wan? I can actually hear that now.
Obi-Wan just did that with no sight....what a jedi
Senpai noticed me! Absolutely Sharing this beautiful content
*Kanan has entered the chat*
@Galen Joyce i get sexual harassment charges when i do that. Guess im not force sensitive enough yet.
Kanan: am I a joke to you?

Man...This is what the Kenobi show should have been like!
Seriously! 😫
@LIVIAS0PRANOSAYSOHHHH-POORU tell me about it
Exactly instead we got Kathleen Kennedy's awful version
I agree
They need to let the men make the films all these feminists ruining things too often
Can we just appreciate that they actually got James Arnold taylor in here. Actually kinda insane to me. Definitely since this is a fan film.
lol this is something even the kenobi show didn't do!

where is he?
@@BUDDER123100 He plays the empire captain, Leegus
Wait what? xD I didn’t even notice :0
Nice spot!
I spotted him as well.
At first I wasn’t able to believe, but then it was true.
@@olehiashchuk4030 yeah, when I saw him I was sure I had seen him before and then when I looked in the description and googled I found that it actually was him...kinda fanboyed a little bit ngl
Great work. Lucas would be proud. It's nice to see fans understand how George thinks and writes . Very well done. Loved it.
George is a jaaa hhoooo iissshhh paaa eeeehhh dddoooohhhhh
Kenobi killed him
"Don't I know you from somewhere" says the most prolific Kenobi voice actor to the guy currently playing him. Nice touch.
Also wish I could make a short film based on the premise of villains meeting their doom, & every time one screams in dismay, a fellow henchman shouts, "Wilhelm, noooo!"
Me: This film is great
Friend: Why?
Anakin: Because of Obi Wan?
:D
Because of Obi wan
Where was Obi-Wan?
Liarrrr
There is not a better moment to release a starwars fanfilm
true!
Fan films are indeed amazing! But the official movies are still awesome!
Bob Bobberson indeed these fan films are extraordinary, but the films aren’t so bad too
Strong in the dark side the series new Master's are, caution these filmmakers should take.
*Waves hand in front of people*
There is not a better moment to release a starwars fanfilm
This will always be my canon, no matter how the D+ show turns out. In my head, this is just a few years after ROTS.
Wondering how many people came back to this to actually get good Kenobi content after seeing the disaster of the actual Kenobi series. Bless this short film. This is what the series should've been.
No famous actors have ever appeared in fan films but one James Arnold Taylor
KlipsFilms Melbourne Nathan Fillion did for Uncharteds
Sulu did for a star trek fanfilm
@@drunkerraritydash4885 as has the Doctor from Voyager, Tuvok, and Chekov from TOS.
And, since I don't consider the new Picard TV show canon, soon Patrick Stewart will be starring in a expensive fan film as well.
Joseph Gordon Levitt made a small cameo in the end of one too
@@Basketballerphx thats dope 😂 which one?
Hold on, I just realized this is 18 minutes long. I need to make some popcorn, brb.
Gonna need more than just that my friend. We need a bigger audience 😏
Just be careful of certain bandits if you do!!!
yep what she said
Zach King same same
*Lego yoda Death sound effect*
Far better than the current Kenobi series
You know what’s sad, is that this is infinitely better than the kenobi show.
So much better, I came back after finishing the show because I wanted to watch some real quality fan fiction, other than that new Disney fan fiction, If you can even call them fans.
Only reason why it's better then the kenobi show is because this is not a disney movie where they nerf the blasters/lightsabers to the point they only graze a target on impact, (making it more child friendly) I think thats why people make out the storyline of disneys star wars to be kinda a joke like 3 times in the 3 movies Rey was supposed to die due to being hit with a lightsaber yet not once did she die. Oh and in the star wars timeline force heal was supposed to be a long lost jedi ability and she learns it in under 30 seconds of seeing a injured animal... yeah the storyline is shit but the fact remains disney owns the rights to star wars so what they say is cannon is cannon and it sucks.
@@soranibrahim5334 Disney is just expensive fan fiction in my mind. Idc how much money they spent.
Disney, if you want me to change my mind give me $10,000. That's it! I'll be a sell out!
Disney only cares about the money not us so yeah this is far better than the one in Disney plus
@@LisaAnn777 literally nothing Disney do is fan fiction because they own the franchise meaning everything they do is official and not fan fiction. I swear to god, people like you throw that word around to the point that it loses all its meaning to try and define it as something it’s not
to be honest...the "real" winner of this short is the composer. This score is outstanding and gave me chills! it's amazing how someone is able to tell so much through the music in this short amount of time. just wow!
‘All of it ‘ won, amazing film with an amazing score!
I know it's so good!
I agree very professionally done.
YES. The music really helps paint the emotion, urgency and overall narrative 💙🙌🏻
Jamie Costa ❤️❤️❤️This is my absolute favorite fan film, as someone that grew up with ‘Star Wars’ (before it got renamed as ANH) and Ben Kenobi was somewhat like my 3rd grandpa this really nails the vibe of the OT and ANH in particular! Nostalgic moments watching this masterpiece, I hope I’m not the only one telling you that I’d love to see a follow up Obi-Wan film of yours! Help me Jamie-Wan KeCosta, you’re my only hope! 😜
MAN when he picked up his light saber and wielded it whilst blinded with dirt it almost brought me to tears, as moments before Ben had almost lost all faith in the Force with the Empire in control and the Jedi gone, but in a moments notice he dug deep within himself to find he still holds true to his faith of the Force.
same, it reminded me of the greatness star wars had before the Disney takeover.
This proves definitely to me we have the absolute wrong people in control of decisions in Lucasfilm anymore. This film under 20 minutes in length made me care so much more for the characters and story than ANY recent Star Wars movie minus Rogue One. We need people with at least half the passion that was placed in this fan film and we would be seeing much better Star Wars movies produced. Bravo to everyone behind this fan film, considering the budget, this short film blew me away and literally gave me goosebumps.
Reminded me a little of rebels when kanan did the same thing
ME TOO!!! and the music score is perfect!!!
I actually cried like a bitch
This was better than the series we got
I agree.
But at least they proved Hayden is Darth Vader.
@@freemakerthings4518 Nobody needed to prove it.
Everything is better than that show
Well, the official show is out and I couldn't help but come back to this.
Yes apparently, when you simply stay true to the source material, the character writing and actually put some genuine effort into your project, it ends up as something of worth.
Being passionate about it doesn't hurt either. Who knew.
As far as I'm concerned, this is canon
100% nobody can tell me otherwise. Between the time of RotS and A New Hope stuff like this should have happened
Mmm after the desastre which Disney made with the new movies, I can't care less about what they say it's Canon or not. And this one seems like canon
said they are making an obi wan show
@@Platerpus7 nothing in the comment implies that I didn't know that if that's what your getting
Honestly people should not care about "Canon". We should break down boundaries of possibilities, but even we the fans stuck between the limits of genres. That is the best part of space opera!
When he said "Hello there," I was thinking, this is where the fun begins.
General Kenobi....
But what's funny is that the guy who plays the Imperial Officer in this fan film (James Arnold Taylor) is also the voice actor for Obi Wan in the Clone Wars show. So it only made it better when he responded with the exact same line xD
"Hello there" Obi-Wan's best pick-up line.
Ah, General Kenobi.
General kenobi
Came back here after the "Obi Wan" show ... I can say that I prefer this version from miles away. Really a good job guys !
Ma sai cosa vuol dire 1.000.000 di volte meglio?😄
@@grumpy9721 Ho un'idea, sì ;)
I concur! The Disney plus series was so boring and a waste of time!
in first five minutes it captures more authenticity to Star Wars than any of the Disney shows combined and has far better acting and writing than that of the Disney obi wan show, I’m thankful there are still people like you who actually care about Star Wars trying to create great things like this
8:49 "I'm the boy's uncle"
"You were my brother Anakin! I loved you!"
HOLY SHIT YOUR RIGHT
Oh, my heart! 💔😭
NO oh god
True man 😭
A little sneaky
It never occurred to me until right now that Owen and Beru probably wondered where Ben was when the storm troopers showed up in A New Hope. Gives the look of silent apology he gave Luke upon his return from finding the homestead burned a lot more weight in my mind.
They had a dispute... that’s well known :)
In a perfect world, Disney hires these guys to produce the Kenobi show.
This Fan film almost perfecty fits of the concept of the new Kenobi series! I dont know if they have seen the same cave scene you used here, but its like poetry it rhymes!
How is this not trending?
Impossible, perhaps the archives are incomplete
Clear-iSwifty Disney paying to keep it quiet.
Disney doesn’t want it to. RUclips obeys their corporate overlords.
It’s number 4 on trending right now!
Cause it isn't makeup or vlog video
blackboy923 yepppp🙄
Stay for the end credits to hear a response from an old Master....
Jamie Costa, you made a great film and I hope you can get star wars theory to do a reaction to this so this can get more traction with the amount of subscribers he has because this is a great piece of work that people need to see
are you guys gonna do something with qui-gon?
Do a short live action of Obi vs Maul!!
@ghost0028 that would be pretty cool
I did! Master Qui-Gon! 😃
This is better than the actual show
wtf no
True
I was wondering how many of this kind of comment there were going to be...
@@ekimaulthar2044L take
This is way better than the actual Kenobi show
Obi Wan Kenobi is really good TV series
Obi Wan: *gets sand in his eyes*
Also Obi Wan: "Thats why he hated it so much..."
Anakin got his hate for sand from Obi Wan
I don’t like sand
Anakin Skywalker is it because it is course, rough and irritating? And also that it gets everywhere?
Anakin Skywalker it’s corse is rough
Sorry but wrong. That's the other way around. The fan read an article somewhere confirming Disney's intention to make the spin off and thought "Oh, I can get tons of views on RUclips if I make a video of that"
He got James Arnold Taylor, another Kenobi to play a villain in this short film. Im i the only one who finds that awesome?
You are absolutely not alone
Definitely not alone
I LOST MY MIND
As soon as he started talking I had that thought....wait oh it is him! Nice
You aren't alone. That is awesome. I love it!
@12:06 That moment you realise a 45 second sequence in a three year old fan movie is a better depiction of Obi Wan Kenobi reconnecting to the Force than anything Disney has delivered.
Better, more faithful, doesn't infantilise the audience.
Not another rehash of the Guardians of the Galaxy formula.
Thank you for this from the bottom of my heart.
Whoever did the sound for this needs a job in Hollywood
Amazing sound on this fan film!!! The best I’ve hear!
No, stay in can films. Hollywood is going to shit!
@AD 2385 You're right actually.
Hollywood wouldn't know how to properly utilise this level of talent. They'd rather just use remixes and convenient sound.
Stay independent, Hollywood will suck your soul out and kill your dreams to fulfill someone else’s.
Already better than a what we got from the official show! No annoying inconsistencies, no making th character do things he would never do. Just pure heart and respect, exactly why the fans often do better jobs than the actual studios that own them. I legit think George would be proud.
Only one small inconsistency, that Luke might have seen a Lightsaber before where it has not been established to be that way. But otherwise this fanmade film trumps over the official series in quality and character. And Luke could have forgotten that part by the age he has in Episode 4.

We somehow live in a world where a 20 minute fan film does a better job, is more interesting, and shows more respect at portraying a broken Obi Wan suffering PTSD and actually focuses on him than the actual big budget Disney show.
EDIT: I made this comment before episodes 5 & 6 which I admit they managed to stick the landing towards the end which was such an improvement but man the stumble leading up to it was very rough.
Wait, how does it do a better job? I definitely think both are very good.
No it doesn’t
@Blue Typhoon2017
Fan film: doesn't leave tatooine and protects Luke
Disney: LEAVES tatooine and doesn't protect luke
"I made this comment before episodes 5 & 6 which I admit they managed to stick the landing towards the end which was such an improvement but man the stumble leading up to it was very rough."
LOL what? It's even worse, he left Vader alive when he was at his mercy. Vader confirmed Anakin was dead so he had ZERO reasons to keep alive. They also don't understand the power level of the force, it remove any stake, it's not magic without effort.
The Empire doesn't use the full power of their Star Destroyer, those 72 Ties are never used for no reason.
They also don't understand Hyperspace at all, Jabiim is all the way up in the galaxy, Tatooine is all the way down, it take days to travel across the lanes, not seconds.
Everyone not dying of gut wound.. Why? Reva also discovered teleportation it seem..
@@daghostds stfu, stop crying and be grateful
if only this new Kenobi show was half as good as this :(
Captures a lot of essence of the original Star Wars.
Yeah, Obi Wan was incompetent and sort-sighted there too.
I mean no disrespect to the makers of this, but I get annoyed at things that need to happen simply to advance the story, no matter how ridiculous those things are.
What am I talking about? Well, how many examples do you want? He could hold the speeder in place, but couldn't grab his light saber from the hand of a mere mortal?
Come on man! Why must Jedi always display massive feats of absolute incompetence and uselessness to push the story forward?
scott The force is a hard thing to manage, even an Olympic sportsperson will have a bad day or bad moment or mess something up in their sport, but continue to make a fantastic achievement 5 minutes later
@@Skyfall106 Sorry. I understand the point you're making, but Jedi are superhuman.... except when the plot requires them not to be. It's irritating, and lazy writing.
scott I don’t fully think so, they’re all still human and humans make mistakes. Remember that most jedi were trained in the force from a young age, where most of them didn’t even know about the force and that they were force sensitive. A skill that they’ve learned and can still fail in. Also, from what I got from the movie Obi-Wan had tried to cut himself off from the force like Luke, that’s why he was a bit rusty, in the last jedi luke did the same but was still able to do that mad force thingo
@@Skyfall106 In the Clone Wars, Obi Wan ran into Maul on Tatooine and beat him in under 10 seconds. He was able to take on Vader in Ep. 4. He had clearly kept up with his training.
In this fan film, he's sucker punched by a Tusken Raid, and there are only two of them. Then he's able to deflect heaven knows how many blaster bolts from the ST's, despite being temporarily blinded? I mean, come on.
Kudos to the effects team on this short film, but the story writer should be fired! >:-)
I think it's beautiful how Obi-Wan is using Anakin's lightsaber to protect his son. As it was meant to be used.
yeah dude...hell yeah...I wholeheartedly agree with you..
Absolutely, Brilliant!
EliteWarrior1026 wait, son?
@@user-rc2fy2zs8v
Yes. Anakin's son. Since Anakin isn't there to protect Luke, it's kinda cool that Obi-Wan is using Anakin's lightsaber in a way Anakin would have: to protect Anakin's family.
(He also used it to commit several horrible crimes, but I don't think Old Ben will be using it for those any time soon).
I wish we could’ve seen Obi Wan use his own Light Saber ( It’s my favorite Lightsaber and my favorite character) but I agree with you that it’s Cool
Pretty cool to have James Arnold Taylor in this!
First Robin and now this... Jamie Costa is a gem! I am amazed beyond my limits!
Wasn't it this first, then Robin?
Yes but I watched Robin first so I was talking about my own experience.

I showed how bad ass he truly was. Pure instinct kicked in in that scene and showed he was powerfull and still connected to the force.
All the Fallen Jedi were with him in that moment. Rip
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who felt kinda emotional in that scene.
It remembers me of Kanan Jarrus...
I absolutely love that scene where he throws the lightsaber. I feel like I did this because the saber was like a constant reminder that anakin is gone and he failed him. Loved that scene👍
This shows far more respect for Star Wars then Disney has yet to show. Amazing!
根據新聞上說，第一季縮水成4集 😳！4集真的好少！迪士尼還說要看口碑再來決定要不要第二季😡
希望這翻譯得足夠好讓您閱讀。你說的是哪個節目？
Truer words, not recently spoken Disney has a lot to answer for in their next movies. NOW, MOVE ALONG....
@@maslasoren Haha, sorry I didn't catch what you were doing. Very funny.
Agreed!
12:05 And there old Ben stood. A hermit living in the desert wastes. A man that had lost everything, a man broken by war and the great betrayal of his closest friend. His fellow Jedi brothers and sisters hunted down and slaughtered like animals. His connection to the force weakened by the sheer trauma and pain of it all. The sole protector of a boy that was the only hope for the future of the Jedi. “Drop it!” Ordered the stormtrooper. And then slowly he came to his senses. Igniting the blade of his fallen apprentice he began to effortlessly deflect the blaster bolts for a few moments old Ben was gone and in his place was Clone Wars Jedi general Obi-Wan Kenobi.
You got James Arnold Taylor, the voice of Clone Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi, as the antagonist? Absolute madlad.
Nice touch, but I thought that was against Disney's rules. So was once told by Star Wars theory with his fanfilm. That he couldn't use actors that worked on official Star Wars projects.
I saw James and was like omg James playing an imperial, he’s so good.
I legit was about to post in the comments that the imperial sounded like clone wars obiwan 😂 makes sense now haha
@@grievous444 but this a VOICE ACTOR BABYYY
Disney should go F them selfs he can voice act anything he likes hes a free man
Bravo. I enjoyed this much more than the first two episodes of OWK.
it's crazy how accurate this fan film is to the show. This was a treat to watch and I don't know why I haven't before!
18 plus minutes makes more sense than episode ix trying to wrap up mad plot hole from 3 movies in 2 plus hours. Most impressive! Faithful to the star wars lore
And don't forget, that small child who sat there watching a firefight, who blew up the death Star, who confronted his corrupted father and evil emperor, and who fought in a rebellion, just turned out to be an old coward. Really Disney?
I wouldn't go that far
The Last Jedi ruined the trilogy. If you completely wipe the 8th episode from your brain, the rise of skywalker is really good. I personally enjoyed it and thought it was the best of the trilogy. I know that’s not saying much lol, but I really enjoyed it
@@dwzenix7954 to be fair mate. The sequel trilogy has little to no light saber fights and just lot of wtf moments. Doesnt help when Rey is OP af and doesn't learn anything from anyone and just does jedi stuff on the fly cause she can.
I am 40 years old I have seen every movie from Star Wars at least 50 times each and that short movie gave me goosebumps...!!
Came back to this after the official series concluded. All my friends I've shown this fanfilm instantly agreed: This here makes more sense, has better athmosphere, emotion, writing and score than the official product.
Great work.
I am not alone when I say: I wish you guys were in charge.
When Disney won't make a Kenobi film
Fans: Fine, I'll do it myself.
they're doing a Kenobi tv show though
But they’re doing a TV show lol
A TV Show is different than an actual film
@@dapperfield595 In this case it is even better ^^
Dapperfield your right
This is exactly what the franchise should have done. Not bigger ships, but bigger stories, bigger people, but small events.
Its a huge galaxy, you dont have to save all of it everyday. Just saving one little boy is more than enough drama for a movie.
If that little boy is destined to save the galaxy one day, thats good. But its not necessary. Big wars turn to big statistics. You cant turn emotion bigger by adding big statistics. You turn them bigger by looking closer.
Magnificent work, this one. A true heir to the originals, the Force is indeed with you.
Thank you for making some very good points that should always apply to the sci-fi universe. 🎄
@John Orefice Thank you John, and thank you Mike.
I have never got such kindness or praise online. Maybe its because its Christmas, but you guys made me really feel the presence of... something. :-)
Thank you.
That’s why I can’t wait for the obi wan spin off which I hope they put Dave filoni in charge of because his great character storytelling in his work
That's why rogue one was good
Excellent statement, definitely will keep this in mind.
Plot twist: The imperial commander, played by James Arnold Taylor, is actually Obi-Wan's younger brother mentioned in Part III of Kenobi series.
Oh my goodness, that's a good one!!! 😂
I stumbled upon this from his Robin Williams impression in the news today. WOW! I am so glad I did, frkin fantastic. Can't wait to show my son this. He loves anythting Starwars. This is epic. 'Well played sir"
Same here. First I marveled at his Williams, now I marvel at his Obi-Wan. This is literally the best bit of Star Wars film to come about in 4 decades, easily. It's criminal that this was released in 2019 and nothing more came of it.
A great rendition of Kenobi with both shades of McGregor and Guinness.
and actual shades
Once again... the awkward moment when a fan creates a story that has more timbre than major film producers and directors with equal amounts of costumes, sets, props, cinematography, sound, cgi, not to mention first rate acting. BRAVO Jamie... Bravo!
I would say it took more than a moment to create this story. "Moment" no longer means what it used to. I blame Instagram.
@Noiseless Sounds No hypocrite here. I've seen all three Disney trilogy episodes and Disney hasn't got a single cent out of me. I certainly don't hate Star wars. Imagine as a kid, your dad putting all his effort into building a car. You travel everywhere in the car. Holidays, road trips, days to the beach. Your dad puts his very soul into that car. Then one day some rich git comes along throws a heap of cash at your dad and takes the car you grew up in. Then changes it into something it isn't, and finally smashes it into a tree.... THAT, is how the fans feel. They don't hate the car, only the idiot who now owns it.
@@mrdemoncrusher3927 I totally agree with you on how you feel. Im trying really hard to have faith that with Kennedy gone we will be looking at a future with a Star Wars more in line with what Lucas will be proud of. I hope Faloni and Favereau see this and bring you in for inclusion. So short but as well done as if it were Lucas himself. Rock the fuck on !!
This is the better kenobi
For the record…This is so much better than the Disney series. And I MEAN THAT!!!
I think they are about the same, I love them both.
Over a thousand generations of Jedi were the guardians of peace and justice in the old Republic. Before the dark times. Before the Empire.
You make a great Obi Wan, Jamie!
It was a more civilized age.
@@almostsapien yes it was. Even with those clumsy blasters.
Watching this before Disney takes it down
It's fair use. It's not commercialized.
Griffty Rocks yeah go bullshiting without even knowing the facts
@360 Overdrive I was replying to OP, but anyhow, there's hundreds of Star Wars fan films out there. Covering everything from Canon to EU lore. Fan films are tecnically a legal grey-area, but as long as they aren't commercialized, Lucasfilm and Disney have been known to turn a blind eye. It's rare enough that I've never heard of any fan film being taken down except for Star Wars Theory. Hundreds of Star Wars fan films have been around for literally decades. Some even put Williams' original score in it, they didn't strike it because it wasn't commercialized. So I say: Technically not but for all intents and purposes, it's fair use.
gonna tell my kids this was the Kenobi show
Wise choice
This is absolute crap
When a youtube fan film looks more credible than the actual obi wan series, it shows that the show makers have no clue what star wars is. While this short perfectly captures the magic and Ethos of star wars, they better should have hired him rather than someone who doesn't know how to make star wars.
It probably helps that the makers of this incredible film *watched* _Revenge of the Sith._
@@theopportuneson699 haha
i think the series is better
it isnt better then the kenobi series, hes meant to be disconnected from the force not using it like rots was yesterday
@@camerongamingofficial I totally get that but at the same time he has to have some connection to it still if he is going to protect Luke
When actual actors from other SW projects starts to act in Fan films... it makes it official
Careful or Disney might pull off a "CBS" similar to Axanar or Star Trek Continues. They'll shut it down and piss off the fans even more!!!!
@@Curling12341 wouldnt be surprised if they claim this video like they did star wars theory fan film
I hope not official SW projects? Since that's against Disney rules
@@LucidFL I mean they would have the right to considering it's their intellectual property.
You killed me with these two phrases:
"You don't need to see their identifications..."
"Hello There..."
i thought they were cringy tbh
@@danielslammms8740 agreed. Well performed, but unnecessary and awkwardly tacked on references. Lots of those in this lessened it for me. Was very well crafted otherwise.
@Devilikg yeah, this version of obi wan isn't written anything like the originals. Pretty pathetic the lack of understanding of the character put on display here.
Actually, one must bend one's mind to take control of the other..
The way he swung his lightsaber was majestic, it must have been almost like seeing a myth right infront of their eyes become reality.
the way Luke looked at Anakin's lightsaber made me cry like a child
"This isn't a Star Wars movie, it's missing th-"
*Wilhelm Scream*
"Well hello there..."
The Wilhelm scream is in there. Watch it again.
At 11:37
@@AndyBantly r/whoosh
Andy Bantly ooff, you don’t get it
@@relucida_3828 I guess not. I thought I heard the Wilhelm Scream at 11:37. I don't do youtube that often. pardon.
The two Obi-Wans saying, “Hello there,” to each other is brilliant
And *ironic*
Oh I agree
Obi_Wan_Kenobi Hello There
@@monokuma1798 Hello Anakin
What do you mean "the TWO Obi-Wans"?
Once again, fans just know Star Wars better than the villains holding the franchise at blasterpoint. I consider this far more valuable than the 'official' Kenobi show.
It must be embarrassing for Disney and Kathleen that one or a small group of people managed to tell a better obi wan story then their actual series. Let's all agree this is the true obi wan arc. Not whether the hell is going on now.
No they didn’t ur literally just hating
Just didn’t tho stfu
@@regeueees7395 , no ur literally just a sheep that will love anything Disney Lucasfilm makes and probably gives out 8, 9 or 10/10 rankings like candy to trick or treaters oblivious to the franchise's growing staleness.
This is the True Kenobi flick, not the trash Lucasfilm and Darth Kennedy spit out.
@@regeueees7395 dude you're exactly what's wrong with Star Wars 😂
tbf i skipped watching episodes for a couple of weeks cuz the show was losing me...watching the finale was quite good though, still mishaps but ended stronger (imo of course) than many of the episodes. Not dissing Jamie Costa here at all, actually started watching this cuz of him on Harloffs finale episode
Help us obiwan kenobi,you’re our only hope for star wars now.
Star Wars A New New Hope?
@@user-sd6zz2hm2u Star Wars The Last Hope
Star wars there's no hope
Well mandalorian is doing a pretty good job
Everytime i see vids like these they are like 4 years old, this one is 10hrs old lol
Same!
This short is literally better than the show if you ask me
His lightsaber throw has so much more actual meaning than Luke’s did.
Very cool short movie. It felt canon.
