Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 2 quickly became the Leia & Reva show. We're back to The Mandalorian babysitting series with Obi-Wan getting blamed by Leia for HER decision to jump off a roof, crazy! But what did you think? Let me know your thoughts below, and as always, thanks for watching :)
Agree and weak character building for added star of the show along with horrible dialogue - and the director can’t seem to make up her mind which movie she is stealing from John Wick to Blade Runner etc
Bro this review ain’t it, you really are trying too hard to criticize this mid show, again as someone who was a fan of your halo reviews this is really disappointing
Watching any Disney Star Wars product, I think I wish I could just "apply Lightsaber to face." That's how I always feel watching all the shit they pinch out.
boy i can't wait to see commets full of hate and lies to disparu, defent this garbage,throw insults around like arguments and points. you can disagree with someone BUT don't go act surprise when people dislike your attitude, i still have hopes for this TV show but i not gonna ignore the blatant problems it has and that "everyone but me can see it's greatness so they are haters".
Yeah, it's like it's really reaching for oppression for no good reason and against a human, essentially, when the presence of multiple species of aliens and droids makes this largely nonsensical.
The actually oppressed people where alien races in the Empire. Because the empire actually was racist towards "non humans". You could have done some meaningful commentary with that while not breaking canon. But obviously we can't have something that is actually intelligently written in Star Wars (well, besides Andor maybe. That show actually was well written, to my surprise) Also tells you how damn good Thrawn was, because he got a very high position as an alien.
I mean, that's how it is these days. Whine and complain about how you're oppressed. Even though you're literally not.. So anyone who is actually struggling gets pushed to the side and laughed at.. after these idiots make real issues laughing stocks. 👌🏻👌🏻
@@Rakshiir alien...in Imperial Navy... LOL More likely is that he and his "species" is human offshoot. Some genetic tinkering and you have white man become blue man xD Also, humans are majority in the Galaxy far far away. Why they should bend over and take from other species? By the way, humans aren't "raycyst". Aliens are another species, ya bloody SJW. And with just how US is getting done in the backend by protected minorities, no wonder humans in the Galaxy far far away aren't talking from behind.
Old guy is probably there for all the wrong reasons anyway. I mean an old guy in a robe hiding his light saber. Why would leia even tolerate the fool ? Just send him to jail already.
God.. the times I miss Qui-Gon... If he'd gotten his hands on this little brat.. it's probably good he's dead.. he'd probably smack obi wan and the girl over the head.
It is terrible. And what's most depressing is how many people say it's "the best thing since og Star Wars" and how brilliant it is. I'm losing my faith in humanity tbh
@@alaricsoto1 or even better they don't explain or disprove the arguments or points, "oh i am enyoing this so you're are hater for saying bad things about it","i though you better than this,as your fan(not really) i'm disapointed","oh no disparu you have become one of these ?people? on youtube!"
Agreed. People who wont accept its bad, wont criticise it but cant say why its bad. But they then start inventing excuses for why things are done a certain way. I asked one guy why there were multiple sith in this (supposed to be only 2) but he said they are EU dark Jedi. Disney dumped the EU and when i said that he had no reply.
Yup, I'm a Star Wars casual myself. Watched the movies, read a few comics a long time ago and did a bit of research, but even without background knowledge of the wider lore, any thinking person should realise how inconsistent Obi Wan is in the show. When I first saw him chopping up salomon and being miserable I immediately thought that they Rian Johnsonned him like they did Luke in TLJ. Also, the supporting characters (although it's difficult to say who's the protagonist) are exceptionally stupid and incompletet. But no, Kenobi is the best thing ever and some said that "it has great acting and writting" while others stated that it's the best thing on streaming services rn
When Reva opened the door and blurted out "Where is he?' I literally laughed out loud. Apart from the terrible delivery, the question was totally unnecessary , and just confirms just pathetic the writers are in not understanding this. A proper intelligent villain would not need to ask any questions. A cold gaze across the room and silence would have been far more effective but that's too subtle and intelligent for these idiot writers.
Idk that itself is overused by villains, new for Star Wars but not for Star Trek or anything similar, the people are afraid but some must resist til they are slashed down, that also is overused nowadays sadly -Jack hates the Obi Wanton Lenovo Show
"This is why parents should discipline their children, because if they get kidnapped, the person saving them, should actually like them enough to continue doing it" Hahahahahqhqhqhqhqhq
They were suppose to cast a 10 yr old for Leia, but the tiny actress was 8 during filming so that's another reason why she runs like a toddler in the slowest chase scene(s) in StarWars history. The kid is not a great actress but the fault lies mainly with the horrible writers who have no idea how children talk and act beyond the casting couch :/ Trying to force an 8 year old to project strength and intellect using lines written by adults just comes off as bratty and annoying. If any of her actions resulted in a better outcome that would be one thing, but when everything she does only makes the situation worse, one can't help but hate the character more!
That chase scene was so horrible, dude. Not only did she run up to the stranger, but why didn't she climb a tree and hide up there. She is seen climbing a tree a few scenes back at 24:55 of the first episode.
A really shitty start to your acting career. I feel bad for her. Given a better script, i think she would have done a lot better. ewan mcgregor acting skills are put to waste too.
It’s pretty hilarious that Obi Wan Kenobi and Leia need to change their disguise since the Inquisitors are hunting them down. Yet they literally change disguises in the middle of a market. So everyone can see the lightsaber hanging from his belt. Lol
@@MajinJustin872 he did. He only retrieved it because he was going after the people who kidnapped Leia. He was prepared to expose his secret in order to save her.
@@MajinJustin872 // Funny how he told another Jedi to get rid of his lightsaber even tho obi wan couldn’t do it Fact: He already buried his and Anakin's lightsaber in the desert. The writers can't write for shit? You need your eyeballs checked.
@@DragonLord1125 he came back for it tho and couldn’t even keep his own teachings to others about exposing themselves. Throughout the show he did everything but keep his head down
@@Arendvdvenk Mark Hamill said that his character in TLJ didn't feel like Luke Skywalker. So he said he had to treat the character like someone different... "Maybe he's Jake Skywalker..." This Obi Wan very much resembles "Jake Skywalker". So, people have begun calling him "Jake Kenobi".
They're like corny 80's cartoon villains, but trying to be taken seriously. One dimensional and out of place token castings. The problem with storytelling in films these days, they try to say the unspoken parts outloud and obnoxiously. "Hey audience! You're so stupid let me tell you the OBVIOUS, Anakin is Darth Vader!" Such cringe. These writers have zero ability to write compelling stories anymore and treat the audience like they're morons.
The thing is, they literally had the blueprint for the Grand Inquisitor right there. He was the main villain in Rebels S1 and everyone agrees that he was a great menacing intelligent villain. And what do they do? The director and the actor didnt even fucking watch Rebels so they write the Grand Inquisitor into this show without knowing anything about him, because they didnt even bother to watch the source material. He also looks nothing like him, which goes to show more of disney's laziness in character design.
They're doing to Obi-Wan exactly what they did to Luke: turn a courageous, confident, optimistic, heroic white male character into a clueless, weak coward. This is more than Disney incompetence, it's a malicious attack on men by destroying legacy characters. National Amusements who owns Paramount did the same thing to Picard. And if they don't destroy the personality of strong white male characters like Kirk or Solo, they literally kill them off.
@Siberian Morally weak. He let a fellow Jedi die by being too scared to help him. Obi-Wan from the movies never was a coward. Also, I don't watch a Jedi TV show to barely see him use the force and to never use his lightsaber.
"This is why you discipline your kids - so that if they get kidnapped, the guy saving them likes them enough to keep doing it!" . . . unorthodox take, but I can't really argue with it. If anyone ever asks me for parenting advice. . . well, they probably know not to ask me for serious advice by now.
Star Wars died for me with TLJ, would never give Disney a penny after that. This show sounds truely awful, like D+ version of one of the recently cancelled CW shows, thanks for watching so we don't have to
@@gnarlin4964 haha, no sir I did not. I thought Force Awakens was bad but to me it wasn't a franchise killer, Last Jedi was a whole new level of suck tho, that's what killed Star Wars for me
@@ViolentMessiah666 Exactly the same for me. The only Star Wars related content I consumed after TLJ was Fallen Order and that was mostly because it was a Souls Like Video game and I play almost all in that genre.
@@sphyre1196 That the running and dodging stuff sim? I got all the old Star Wars games, so no need for new media. Same for me with the movies. I'm good with the original theatrical release trilogy on DVD, even if it isn't HD. That being said, I did get a copy of the Last Jedi on Blu-ray, as I recall. The extras on that are wild. It's basically Mark Hamill going around devastated and pointing out how they're ruining Luke while the "show runners" openly mock him. Anyway, no more money from me after that. I like Star Wars. This crap isn't it.
Fans: Give us a Kenobi show. Disney: Ok, we will give you a Strong Type-B of Power and Kwan show. Fans: Give us a Top Gun movie. Tom Cruise: "This one is for the fans."
Absofreakinlutely. Just saw it this evening and THAT is how you do fan service for a sequel after a looooong hiatus. Danger Zone? Check, first few minutes of the damn movie to put you back in the head space. But only for a short period...no need to overindulge. Just make the point and get going. SPOILERS: Tom saves Bradshaw's life. Bradshaw saves Tom's life. Hangman saves BOTH of their lives after being held back so Bradshaw could be on mission. Well done. All around. Believable scenario if a bit rah rah contrived but still within reason of a freakin entertaining movie.
@@KnightRonin0103 Exactly. That was gut wrenching...especially when they had Val go ahead and speak a few lines. Meant a helluva lot. And the softening of the whole deal with "We just had a moment...let's not ruin it". Perfect.
@@calibre97 I think that was actually Val's son speaking for him. But it still hit just the same. I'm still in love with the top gun sequel.. I'd forgotten this dumb show existed 🤣🤣
The rumor of Reva: The Inquisitor being the focus of the Kenobi show is disinformation. She dominates the show. You will love how stunning and brave she is the show. Don't worry citizen. Kenobi will be in a few cameos so you will purchase our content. It was a part of our plan. Reimagine Tomorrow for a better future today.
If I were Obi-Wan, this Leia would have turned me to the dark side. She would have been "bumped on the head" pretty harshly by her "kidnappers," so that Old Ben would have returned her unconscious for most of the journey. This would also give the proper amnesia necessary to maintain Leia's lack of personal knowledge of Obi-wan in Ep. 4. The death of proper story-craft is a symptom of a dying culture.
I can see it as a new meme Obi wan looks at 10 year old Leia, thinks back to Anakin slaughtering younglings and goes - Suddenly I have a certain degree of sympathy towards my old friend.
@@vernonsalisbury5276 The Jedi are literally being hunted and killed off?? Idiots whining that he isn’t flipping around with a lightsaber in all the fight scenes are missing the point, Obi-Wan has to be as careful as possible for Luke’s sake.
@@scabs2040 It's not the fact that he isn't flipping around with a lightsabre in all the fight scenes. It's his demeanour that people have a problem with. Just as they did with Luke, they've turned him from a tenacious hero into a mopey, depressed coward. Yes, he would obviously be affected by the events of ROTS, but as we saw in A New Hope, Ben Kenobi was never depressed and would never back away from a fight. He would also not throw away his lightsabre (which he obviously needs to protect Luke). He's supposed to be there on a mission to protect and eventually train Luke but he's just given up. It's pathetic.
So it also throws a wrench in SW ep4 When Luke stumbles across the R2 Recording of Leia asking Kenobi for help. Leia insinuating that her and Obi-Wan have never met & reminding Kenobi that he fought in the clone wars With her father doesn't make sense now. If he now saves her from kidnapping then why wouldn't she say in e4, "Hey Ben, it's me Leia. Remember me? You saved me when I was a 10 yr old brat."
considering how she acted I would be REALLY careful about invoking that relationship. - Hey uncle, I am strapped for cash and really need help, remember me? We met 10 years ago on a family reunion, I called you an old fart and broke your favourite motorcycle.
she doesn’t know ben and obi-wan are the same person, could be explained why she’s surprised when Luke says he brought ben kenobi to help save her instead of Obi-Wan. And named her son Ben, instead of Obi-Wan
@@scabs2040 Leia wasn't surprised about Luke saying he brought Ben Kenobi instead of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Why? Because of the last name KENOBI! Unlike Owen Lars, Bail Organa had a better respect for Obi-Wan.
@@stevenyarnell she literally says “ben kenobi?” in surprisal when luke tells her he brought ben, why would she be surprised if she knew obi-wan was ben, when she literally asked for obi-wan’s help.
I don't get it. This is literally on The Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker level of insanity and stupidity and yet everywhere people hype it up and celebrate it as if it's genius writing. What have we ever done to deserve this? I just want to go back to pre 2015 Star Wars.
I can see Obi-Wan being a bit demoralized from what he had been through, but he would never give up the Jedi way. These writers clearly don’t know Obi-Wan.
A bit demoralised? He was part of the Jedi Masters who missed Palpatine, was a key figure in the development of the clone army, he personally trained Anakin and lost him right under his nose, he thought he had slaughtered Anakin and yet he lived to suffer. Everything he believed in with the Jedi order had been destroyed, essentially no one was better placed to have to have foreseen the future and the risk that Anakin posed. The Jedi got things wrong, they weren’t the perfection they aspired to be. Then he spends 10 years in exile on a barren desert planet as a grunt odd job man, living in a cave away from society every day fearing for his life. What Jedi or wannabe Jedi left are mostly all dead. What hope is there for Luke or Leia even if they survive? Who’s to say either of them also turn to the dark side? I’d be thinking how tf can this kid I’m babysitting somehow overthrow the whole Galactic Empire? He has more than enough to be gloomy about both from the past and for the future.
@@Anakinuk007 So why on earth is he so dead set on training Luke then, being the complete and utter failure he is??? And this right after he basically told a Jedi Outcast(who spent the last 10 years looking for Obi Wan)to bury his lightsaber and stay anonymous, since it’s too dangerous for Jedi’s, (essentially signing the poor dudes death warrant). So, it’s too dangerous for a fully trained Jedi, but not for some 10 year old kid learning the Force? Ridiculous! These morons at Lucasfilm really don’t have a clue what they’re doing.
@@crazyralph6386 - Well he had promised Yoda he would train Luke. Perhaps this is his second chance to make amends with his Anakin failure. He is a very well known character throughout the galaxy, living in the outer rim of nowhere is really his only viable option. He can watch out for Luke at the same time, two birds one stone! The rebel alliance hasn’t really been fleshed out in terms of development, so I’m guessing at that time in history there wasn’t an option to muster a viable army to fight the Empire. He was on his own. All he had to focus on was Luke, and it was mentioned somewhere that if Anakin wasn’t the saviour of the force - then one of his kids might be instead. That’s the only grain of hope he has left to cling to. Let’s face it, there are many sloppy plot lines in STW especially Death Stars having ridiculous hit my destruct button not once but twice! I would imagine by the end of episode 6 it will become clearer as to why Kenobi himself could not take on the mantle of destroying the Empire.
@@Anakinuk007 I thought of the Yoda angle also however, obi wan specifically told Owen that he was to do the training, hence Lar’s response- “like you trained his father”?
it went to the garbage bin. you dont have to make a good story, have good writing skills. all you have to do is to make hidden agendas and make insecure ppl happy. this is why we see reva not getting punishmenet after disobeying 4 times almost a right hand of Darth Vader. this is why leia is so unlikeable. this is why obi wan has been transformed into the old coward loser who is a disgrace to QUI-GON ,YODA and all Jedi who died . this is why netflix witcher is hated by witcher fans (ppl who like the show are not fans they are pseudosmart asses who purposely like the show to make fans angry). this works btw. doing shows based on hidden agendas and ideologies/projecting/doublestandards. these shows have shomehow good ratings....
So the whole speech from the original Star Wars about how General Kenobi fought with her father in the Clone Wars was unnecessary? Wouldn't she have said, "Obi Wan, remember when you saved me from kidnappers when I was 10? Help me again." I can't tell if the writers have brain damage or if I do. Is this supposed to make sense? Who is this series written for? Are we sure it's not just a fan film someone snuck on to the Disney+ servers? Frankly, I was just watching the reviews because they're more entertaining than the actual series. Now, I'm just embarrassed to call myself a Star Wars fan.
At this point I don’t even think it’s incompetence, I think this is just deliberate sabotage. KK is bitter at the brand for the backlash she’s received and so she’s just blowing up the place as she leaves 🤦🏻♂️
It'd be funny if this was true because no company should allow one person that much power. There should be checks and balances of people so that people can go "that's awful" and not have to do it. But when you get bosses that want yes men and so people shut up for the sake of their future job prospects, those checks and balances vanish.
@@disparutoo It reminds me of how some people working with George Lucas didn't really speak up during the prequel trilogy, because it was George, the creator of Star Wars, as one said. That's not the case now, though.
I'm happy for Ewan that he's reprising Kenobi's role again. But at the same time I feel sorry for him that he has to work among these incompetent and toxic fools
same stuff like Star Trek Picard!only in name and very little stpirit plays their parts!so sad that the best fans get is Fan Service these days!no original characters only ones we know and love!
Awesome to see episode 2 review so soon. I expected the show to mistreat the prequel era characters but didn't realize Leia would be dragged into this nonsense as well. Theres no reason why she should even be relevant to Star Wars story at this point. Disney just can't help themselves. Destroying lore to push agendas.
Not to mention that her character didn't need any more attention but people have always been curious about this period of obi wan's life. It could have really bridged the gap between the prequels and originals. But no, more babysitting it is, with a story stolen from Jedi fallen order.
Thank you! Honestly I watch this stuff and feel like I'm in a weird Twilight Zone episode where I see shows full of utter shit and everyone else in the world sees glorious entertainment with stunning writing to see how long it takes for my brain to start bleeding.
Woke media elevates woke opinion and gaslights the majority into thinking we're in the minority. Why Elon's exposure of Twitter being mostly bots and hundreds of thousands of fake followers of woke celebrities was so eye-opening.
yeah . ppl seem to forget that. this is new sequels on drugs, basically. more double standards, more men bad women can whatever they want. badly written characters except POWERFUL TYPE B REVA
The plot , the music , the acting , the script is horrible doesn't feel star wars at all ....looks like those crappy series from scify channel . But got woke element's as usual
music is not that bad. the biggest miss is the entire visual arrangement and scenery. the technology is superb but its so overused and overtuned it looks worse than prequels.
Just because you’re the type to lie to about being “pregnant” or by saying “I’ll kill myself if you leave” in order to keep someone in your life, doesn’t mean everyone else lies like you do. So, carry on with you’re pathetic existence and know that the best part of you rolled down your mom’s thigh when your dad thought about pulling out like he does more and more every day when he sees your face.
You're probably right. Even that ridiculous sight gag of the donkey-like alien farting in Jar Jar Binks' face in "Episode I" at least made logical sense...
Obi didn't even kill the second alien on the roof! He stopped shooting him to save Leia and somehow the alien gave up or something, and then Obi was on the street again all of a sudden?? WHAT 🤣
Wtf. This is the Snoke situation all over again. How could the grand inquisitor not know that she would attack him. They can sense stuff like that. You can't sneak attack them. Wtf did he even let her talk back to him in the first place. Imagine someone talking back to Vader, you will be immediately killed. You don't become a grand inquisitor by being nice to subordinates.
@Siberian well I'm glad he isn't dead. It still doesn't make sense though. To me, it was bad writing. He should not be that easy to kill. His subordinate can literally read Obi Wans mind while he hides, but some how, the grand inquisitor, who is more powerful than her is unable to sense her murdering hostility
@@otttx8368 Disney contradicts its own canon all the time. As an example Poe was never a spice runner till Rise of Skywalker invalidating his entire backstory they had built in books and comics.
I agree, it’s absolutely appalling. Disney and their agenda have their nasty hands all over what should have been treated far, far better. I felt sick watching it.
Disney does not understand the concept of continuity or hypocrisy. Like their philosophy of life, to allow it to exist, would tear their script/world view asunder.
Not only do the writers of this show shove in pretty much every generic storytelling trope there is, they bafflingly and overtly copy their own cannon from other Disney stories. My favorite example is Obi-Wan using the force to stop Leia from falling, it's literally Jedi Fallen Order, exactly the same plot point. This show is amazingly lazy
The funnest thing to me is, make her 14 ad this is far less farcical. The bad attitude and ability to run away are made more plausible. He still should have used his force powers to keep her from running out of alley, though.
Sadly you are right this episode is worse than the first one. One little nitpick is that the pink haired girl 1:24 gives Ben the drug what he uses at 8:56 it is literally a get out of jail card given by a divers colored Type B :D Otherwise Leia is an insufferable twat she is well over a rebellious tomboy. More like she is written like a 10 year old terrible two. I lost all hope i had for this series.
@@rambler1475 Yes I am well aware that. But they give out enough stuff for one trip. But this girl gave Ben enough spice to totally melt 3 people, and still a lot left in the air and probably on the floor. This is at least a month worth of dose for one person via intended use. Just imagine how much cocaine would do the same. Do they give out that much?
I'm half-convinced that Disney purchased Star Wars to create a trilogy and shows that are so bad, we all end up looking at the prequels more fondly. It's a psyop lol.
its an interesting theory tbh. i wouldnt be surprised if they were jealous of george lucas and how he managed to create his own sci-fi without anyone help they just bought it out and purposely make everything for activists and agenda losers.
@@disparutoo I'll definitely watch those too! I'd rather watch this and support you tubers like you than support disney shite! Welcome to the rebellion!
OMG! This show is so bad. The kid playing Leia cannot run worth a crap, yet she outruns everyone. The writing, acting and storyline are horrendous. This is much worse then I would have ever imagined it could be. Maybe it is actually supposed to be a comedy.
I’ve been raving about how excited I’ve been past year for this show with my dad. He’s in his 60s and I grew up watching Star Wars with him. I was so embarrassed when we watched it it broke our hearts. We had to just sit back and laugh because that’s what the show is. A joke
Why was he so hesitant to save Leia?? When did he become so partial to one of the twins? It doesn't make any sense. They should have used Leia's kidnapping to ignite a flame within him and snap back into his old ways.
Not accurate. He was devoted more to watch over Luke and train him thinking that he was going to be the one with the potential of his father and the potential to save the Jedi which he did. Yoda wasn't so sure, but that was only revealed at the end of the third movie of the original trilogy - at that point that information was only used as more motivation for Luke to defeat his father and protect his sister because of her own potential with the force. Obi Wan's prime mission was to watch over Luke, he should've never left the planet without guaranteeing Luke's safety first - that's the biggest problem in the first ep. Lea should've remained safe with her adoptive parents, the whole plot makes very little sense to the canon, she shouldn't even be a part of the show. Obviously, he also shouldn't have rejected the lone jedi's plea for help in the first ep. The plot is full of holes and contradictions to the main canon and the original trilogy.
@@rpgadventurer32 agreed on all points. I get that he vowed to watch over Luke, but he’s not REALLY doing that is he? More like checking in from time to time
@@masonthurman Yea. He's not. The funny thing is that the strong devotion for Luke and the Jedi cause exists in the comics from Disney. He saved him multiple times on Tatooine in added comics lore that they had from the past decade. They're contradicting their own version of the events from their own comics with this show.
"Obi Can-Blowme Play 2nd Fiddle in His Own Show on the Planet of Diversitooine" would be a great title for the series... but doesn't really roll off the tongue
They bribe, sleep with the right people, or use strong arm tactics to get into positions of power where they can force their badly written "fan" fictions on the consumers.
Thanks Jaro, glad you enjoyed it appreciate the super thanks :D Have to say I didn't have very high hopes for this show but it's been a whole new level of awful I never could have predicted lmao
28:20 The way the camera was pointed when Leia tried to make the jump... I thought they were going to show her do a Trinity and make an impossible jump using the Force. 😂 I mean, it isn't at all ridiculous. It is canonical that she can project a force field to survive the vacuum of space, even whilst unconscious
Killing the Grand Inquisitor was so easy it begs the question why Kanan Jarrus had to put so much effort into it... Oh wait, that's right. He's supposed to be alive in like 5 or 6 years so Kanan Jarrus can kill him, but that would require Disney to actually care about continuity.
To be honest with you the Obi Wan Kenobi series is another insulting bait and switch series by Disney +. Which everyone and their brother could have seen a mile away. Lol
People are denying it is though 😂 you have to shake your head at the delusion and ability to suck up disney propoganda and accept anything they churn out.
its so bad.... even hayden wont save this show. reva is so polarizingly annoying and badly written... hayden wont save this show im telling you. ewan cant save it bcuz he is also badly written.
The did it, they actually did it! They created a character which is even more insufferable than Kwan! I never thought I'd see the day, and here we are in just a matter of weeks!
The thing is they’ve made leia in ep IV dumb as dog shit because her message to kenobi references his service to her father in the clone wars…not 8 years ago you rescued me. She seems to have forgotten this service.
Its really beyond me how people could not like this show. The writers are clearly excellent, with a lot of enthusiasm and love for the franchise. Thats why every word out of Blowme´s mouth is convincing and coherrent, as well as in line with the character. The director focusses on whats important for the story, while paying a lot of attention to stay faithful to the source material, especially when it comes to the Jedi mythos. I would love to see more of these less important side characters tell me about their backstories, but staying with the main character almost all the time really reinforces the importance of his mission, which he adamantly follows. Hes a wonderful role model for strength of will and staying true to his beliefs while helping others to deal with their doubts. Like Luke Skywalker in "The last Jedi", hes the hero we all deserve.
The pointless drug dealer character was there as a favour to Ewan MacGregor as she’s his RL daughter. He probably arranged it as some sort of apology for her finding about him cheating on her mother with his costar, who is now his new wife, via the tabloids.
We laughed through the two episodes. It was exactly as expected at this point. The Disney fan fiction is only just getting started and it doesn't disappoint in how utterly terrible it is.
Why is he so coy about using his lightsaber he doesn't think twice about lobbing off a guys arm in the middle of a packed bar guarded by storm troopers in ep4
Thank you so much for this review! This episode was so painful to watch that I had to pause it, and search for the screenwriters to put a name on this crap! Disney is killing our heroes in all the franchises they own, filling their shows with unrealistic, absurd and annoying characters.
I'm glad I'm not the only person that can't stand this Leia. No 10 year old talks like this. Every time she opened her mouth I hated her more, not to mention it ripped me out of what little story there was to follow.
@@DragonLord1125 at moments she acts like a 3yo.. and at moments she acts like a 27yo... and those 2 personas switch even more rapidly as the episode goes on.. its literaly unwatchable...
How does she even know Anakin is Darth Vader, did she see him at the temple during order 66? Did Vader tell her that he used to be Anakin? How does she know this
It's sort of impressive how unfathomable it would be for Star Wars to be run into the ground anymore than it already has been... Yet Disney continues to impress.
people who write inconsistent powers are the type who say shit like "why do you complain about new powers in a show about space wizards." it just shows an utter incomprehension of not just the genre or the show, but writing in general. without consistency there is nothing. without consistency there is no world, no tension, no reason behind the story. every moment of the story is a deus ex machina because at any single moment absolutely anything could happen in contradiction of everything that has come before. the plot becomes a meaningless series of disconnected events, like a child telling a story... "and then... and then... and then..."
Reva is just dark side Rey, and if you criticise her then you are racist and sexist. This show should just focus on Kenobi and Vader (The people who we came to see!)
Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 2 quickly became the Leia & Reva show. We're back to The Mandalorian babysitting series with Obi-Wan getting blamed by Leia for HER decision to jump off a roof, crazy! But what did you think? Let me know your thoughts below, and as always, thanks for watching :)
I told you it got worse. The show could have been and hour and half movie. It's Filler the show with the Jedi power of editing teleportation.
Agree and weak character building for added star of the show along with horrible dialogue - and the director can’t seem to make up her mind which movie she is stealing from John Wick to Blade Runner etc
Bro this review ain’t it, you really are trying too hard to criticize this mid show, again as someone who was a fan of your halo reviews this is really disappointing
Watching any Disney Star Wars product, I think I wish I could just "apply Lightsaber to face." That's how I always feel watching all the shit they pinch out.
boy i can't wait to see commets full of hate and lies to disparu, defent this garbage,throw insults around like arguments and points. you can disagree with someone BUT don't go act surprise when people dislike your attitude, i still have hopes for this TV show but i not gonna ignore the blatant problems it has and that "everyone but me can see it's greatness so they are haters".
In a galaxy with thousands of different races of all shapes, sizes and colors, the girl with dark skin is oppressed. Naturally.
Yeah, it's like it's really reaching for oppression for no good reason and against a human, essentially, when the presence of multiple species of aliens and droids makes this largely nonsensical.
Especially funny since there are actual slave races, Twe'lek comes to mind.
The actually oppressed people where alien races in the Empire.
Because the empire actually was racist towards "non humans". You could have done some meaningful commentary with that while not breaking canon. But obviously we can't have something that is actually intelligently written in Star Wars (well, besides Andor maybe. That show actually was well written, to my surprise)
Also tells you how damn good Thrawn was, because he got a very high position as an alien.
I mean, that's how it is these days. Whine and complain about how you're oppressed. Even though you're literally not..
So anyone who is actually struggling gets pushed to the side and laughed at.. after these idiots make real issues laughing stocks. 👌🏻👌🏻
@@Rakshiir alien...in Imperial Navy... LOL
More likely is that he and his "species" is human offshoot. Some genetic tinkering and you have white man become blue man xD
Also, humans are majority in the Galaxy far far away. Why they should bend over and take from other species?
By the way, humans aren't "raycyst". Aliens are another species, ya bloody SJW. And with just how US is getting done in the backend by protected minorities, no wonder humans in the Galaxy far far away aren't talking from behind.
"Don't help me Obi Wan Kenobi, I'm my only help." New Leia.
Hilarious 😆
”You really are a Jedi!”
”.......and you’re supposed to be smart?”
Old guy is probably there for all the wrong reasons anyway. I mean an old guy in a robe hiding his light saber. Why would leia even tolerate the fool ? Just send him to jail already.
perfect summary
So? Leia was great in the show
"He takes off his clothes and the girl sees his lightsaber." Sounds like a line from a bad star wars erotic fanfic.
Still better than this slop...
Or The Acolyte...wait, same thing.
Wow, prescient much? 👍
Best line: “Leia had one thought her entire life and it died from loneliness.”
Still better than the prequels
KID LEIA: I'm a strong, independent woman and I can speak for myself!
QUI-GON: The ability to speak does not make one intelligent.
God.. the times I miss Qui-Gon... If he'd gotten his hands on this little brat.. it's probably good he's dead.. he'd probably smack obi wan and the girl over the head.
You going "mimimimimi" by imitating Lea was just hillarious tbh
Exactly how kids sound lmao, you fucking nailed it bro
No-one needs it in their entertainment lmao
It is terrible. And what's most depressing is how many people say it's "the best thing since og Star Wars" and how brilliant it is. I'm losing my faith in humanity tbh
I noticed that a lot of those responses don't specify why it's great.
@@alaricsoto1 or even better they don't explain or disprove the arguments or points, "oh i am enyoing this so you're are hater for saying bad things about it","i though you better than this,as your fan(not really) i'm disapointed","oh no disparu you have become one of these ?people? on youtube!"
Agreed. People who wont accept its bad, wont criticise it but cant say why its bad. But they then start inventing excuses for why things are done a certain way. I asked one guy why there were multiple sith in this (supposed to be only 2) but he said they are EU dark Jedi. Disney dumped the EU and when i said that he had no reply.
@@cyberleaderandy1 indeed, people can enjoy this series BUT if they start making excuses and lies then i have a problem.
Yup, I'm a Star Wars casual myself. Watched the movies, read a few comics a long time ago and did a bit of research, but even without background knowledge of the wider lore, any thinking person should realise how inconsistent Obi Wan is in the show. When I first saw him chopping up salomon and being miserable I immediately thought that they Rian Johnsonned him like they did Luke in TLJ. Also, the supporting characters (although it's difficult to say who's the protagonist) are exceptionally stupid and incompletet. But no, Kenobi is the best thing ever and some said that "it has great acting and writting" while others stated that it's the best thing on streaming services rn
When Reva opened the door and blurted out "Where is he?' I literally laughed out loud. Apart from the terrible delivery, the question was totally unnecessary , and just confirms just pathetic the writers are in not understanding this. A proper intelligent villain would not need to ask any questions. A cold gaze across the room and silence would have been far more effective but that's too subtle and intelligent for these idiot writers.
Also confirms they’re stealing not just poses from Batman but also lines 😂
These writers from Batwoman had to go somewhere.
It was weird, would have made more sense to look around first and then say where is he
Still better than the prequels
Idk that itself is overused by villains, new for Star Wars but not for Star Trek or anything similar, the people are afraid but some must resist til they are slashed down, that also is overused nowadays sadly -Jack hates the Obi Wanton Lenovo Show
"This is why parents should discipline their children, because if they get kidnapped, the person saving them, should actually like them enough to continue doing it"
Hahahahahqhqhqhqhqhq
well she was 10 tho
🤣🤣
Obi-Wan should just sell her to the highest bidder and use the money to buy some death sticks. He'd definitely get the better deal.
If you don't let evolution work by letting the stupid die, this is what you get.
They were suppose to cast a 10 yr old for Leia, but the tiny actress was 8 during filming so that's another reason why she runs like a toddler in the slowest chase scene(s) in StarWars history.
The kid is not a great actress but the fault lies mainly with the horrible writers who have no idea how children talk and act beyond the casting couch :/
Trying to force an 8 year old to project strength and intellect using lines written by adults just comes off as bratty and annoying. If any of her actions resulted in a better outcome that would be one thing, but when everything she does only makes the situation worse, one can't help but hate the character more!
That chase scene was so horrible, dude. Not only did she run up to the stranger, but why didn't she climb a tree and hide up there. She is seen climbing a tree a few scenes back at 24:55 of the first episode.
A really shitty start to your acting career. I feel bad for her. Given a better script, i think she would have done a lot better. ewan mcgregor acting skills are put to waste too.
Yeah I mean usually it’s better to let kids be like kids right. Now kids trying to behave like adults. It just comes off as fake.
I find it hard to believe they couldn't find a 10 year old with better acting chops. I'm thinking nepotism is involved.
It’s pretty hilarious that Obi Wan Kenobi and Leia need to change their disguise since the Inquisitors are hunting them down. Yet they literally change disguises in the middle of a market. So everyone can see the lightsaber hanging from his belt. Lol
Not the first time hes done that.
Funny how he told another Jedi to get rid of his lightsaber even tho obi wan couldn’t do it. The writers cant write for shit.
@@MajinJustin872 he did. He only retrieved it because he was going after the people who kidnapped Leia. He was prepared to expose his secret in order to save her.
@@MajinJustin872 // Funny how he told another Jedi to get rid of his lightsaber even tho obi wan couldn’t do it
Fact: He already buried his and Anakin's lightsaber in the desert.
The writers can't write for shit? You need your eyeballs checked.
@@DragonLord1125 he came back for it tho and couldn’t even keep his own teachings to others about exposing themselves. Throughout the show he did everything but keep his head down
This isn't Leia... this is a miniature Amber Heard. Her actions aren't her fault. Everyone else is to blame. Jake Kenobi is getting worse.
too true !
@@sunny113866 did you idiot wake up say “I’m gonna comment the most dumbest shit I can think of”
Can you pls explain the jake kenobi thing?
@@Arendvdvenk Mark Hamill said that his character in TLJ didn't feel like Luke Skywalker. So he said he had to treat the character like someone different... "Maybe he's Jake Skywalker..."
This Obi Wan very much resembles "Jake Skywalker". So, people have begun calling him "Jake Kenobi".
@@zangathorsden4888 thanks :)
What is with these villains? They're not intimidating, they're the equivalent of noisy schoolyard bullies waving glowing sticks around.
And in Rebels, the Inquisitor was very threatening.
These are now **Disney** villains, written for children, by adults without children, to prey on children (grooming).
Poor writing! Theres no threat at all.
They're like corny 80's cartoon villains, but trying to be taken seriously. One dimensional and out of place token castings. The problem with storytelling in films these days, they try to say the unspoken parts outloud and obnoxiously.
"Hey audience! You're so stupid let me tell you the OBVIOUS, Anakin is Darth Vader!" Such cringe. These writers have zero ability to write compelling stories anymore and treat the audience like they're morons.
The thing is, they literally had the blueprint for the Grand Inquisitor right there. He was the main villain in Rebels S1 and everyone agrees that he was a great menacing intelligent villain. And what do they do? The director and the actor didnt even fucking watch Rebels so they write the Grand Inquisitor into this show without knowing anything about him, because they didnt even bother to watch the source material. He also looks nothing like him, which goes to show more of disney's laziness in character design.
They're doing to Obi-Wan exactly what they did to Luke: turn a courageous, confident, optimistic, heroic white male character into a clueless, weak coward.
This is more than Disney incompetence, it's a malicious attack on men by destroying legacy characters. National Amusements who owns Paramount did the same thing to Picard.
And if they don't destroy the personality of strong white male characters like Kirk or Solo, they literally kill them off.
@Siberian Morally weak. He let a fellow Jedi die by being too scared to help him.
Obi-Wan from the movies never was a coward.
Also, I don't watch a Jedi TV show to barely see him use the force and to never use his lightsaber.
LIBERALS DESTROY
It's called Cultural Marxism, look up The Frankfurt School. Small hats control the media industry, well every major industry really.
They did turn Han into a bumbling old fool who couldn't even figure out how to fix his own ship, but luckily Rey saved the day.
Kathleen Kennedy hates men she gets off on destroying strong male characters
"This is why you discipline your kids - so that if they get kidnapped, the guy saving them likes them enough to keep doing it!" . . . unorthodox take, but I can't really argue with it. If anyone ever asks me for parenting advice. . . well, they probably know not to ask me for serious advice by now.
Star Wars died for me with TLJ, would never give Disney a penny after that. This show sounds truely awful, like D+ version of one of the recently cancelled CW shows, thanks for watching so we don't have to
Wait, you watched The force awakened and thought it was.. what.. fine!?
@@gnarlin4964 haha, no sir I did not. I thought Force Awakens was bad but to me it wasn't a franchise killer, Last Jedi was a whole new level of suck tho, that's what killed Star Wars for me
None of the sequels were any good
@@ViolentMessiah666 Exactly the same for me. The only Star Wars related content I consumed after TLJ was Fallen Order and that was mostly because it was a Souls Like Video game and I play almost all in that genre.
@@sphyre1196 That the running and dodging stuff sim? I got all the old Star Wars games, so no need for new media. Same for me with the movies. I'm good with the original theatrical release trilogy on DVD, even if it isn't HD.
That being said, I did get a copy of the Last Jedi on Blu-ray, as I recall. The extras on that are wild. It's basically Mark Hamill going around devastated and pointing out how they're ruining Luke while the "show runners" openly mock him.
Anyway, no more money from me after that. I like Star Wars. This crap isn't it.
Fans: Give us a Kenobi show.
Disney: Ok, we will give you a Strong Type-B of Power and Kwan show.
Fans: Give us a Top Gun movie.
Tom Cruise: "This one is for the fans."
Absofreakinlutely. Just saw it this evening and THAT is how you do fan service for a sequel after a looooong hiatus. Danger Zone? Check, first few minutes of the damn movie to put you back in the head space. But only for a short period...no need to overindulge. Just make the point and get going.

Well done. All around. Believable scenario if a bit rah rah contrived but still within reason of a freakin entertaining movie.
@@calibre97 how about that Val Kilmer scene. Hard time holding back the emotions.
@@KnightRonin0103 Exactly. That was gut wrenching...especially when they had Val go ahead and speak a few lines. Meant a helluva lot. And the softening of the whole deal with "We just had a moment...let's not ruin it". Perfect.

The rumor of Reva: The Inquisitor being the focus of the Kenobi show is disinformation. She dominates the show. You will love how stunning and brave she is the show. Don't worry citizen. Kenobi will be in a few cameos so you will purchase our content. It was a part of our plan. Reimagine Tomorrow for a better future today.
we must be watching two different shows then.
@@ventkatczinsky It’s ok to have bad taste
Dude she can’t act for shit
her overacting makes her character look annoying more than intimidating. I swear she makes the show unwatchable
ewan mcgregor acting skills are being wasted. It sucks 😒
And a bad actress and poor line delivery. I tried watching the show by fast forwarding the Reva parts but ended up fast forwarding to the end.
And again we see grown adults not being able to catch a 10 yr old kid
When they're 6 inches away.
Can no one SNATCH in this galaxy far far away?
If I were Obi-Wan, this Leia would have turned me to the dark side. She would have been "bumped on the head" pretty harshly by her "kidnappers," so that Old Ben would have returned her unconscious for most of the journey. This would also give the proper amnesia necessary to maintain Leia's lack of personal knowledge of Obi-wan in Ep. 4.
The death of proper story-craft is a symptom of a dying culture.
I can see it as a new meme
Obi wan looks at 10 year old Leia, thinks back to Anakin slaughtering younglings and goes
- Suddenly I have a certain degree of sympathy towards my old friend.
We waited over twenty years for a sad, grumpy and unwilling Ben Kenobi.
Just like the movie Luke. Now theres a surprise.
I understand him being somewhat broken after the events of EP 3. But this show is a bit overboard
@@vernonsalisbury5276 The Jedi are literally being hunted and killed off?? Idiots whining that he isn’t flipping around with a lightsaber in all the fight scenes are missing the point, Obi-Wan has to be as careful as possible for Luke’s sake.
@@scabs2040 It's not the fact that he isn't flipping around with a lightsabre in all the fight scenes. It's his demeanour that people have a problem with. Just as they did with Luke, they've turned him from a tenacious hero into a mopey, depressed coward. Yes, he would obviously be affected by the events of ROTS, but as we saw in A New Hope, Ben Kenobi was never depressed and would never back away from a fight. He would also not throw away his lightsabre (which he obviously needs to protect Luke). He's supposed to be there on a mission to protect and eventually train Luke but he's just given up. It's pathetic.
@@minesbanduk after episode 4, I’m even more done
So it also throws a wrench in SW ep4
When Luke stumbles across the R2
Recording of Leia asking Kenobi for help.
Leia insinuating that her and Obi-Wan have never met & reminding Kenobi that he fought in the clone wars
With her father doesn't make sense now.
If he now saves her from kidnapping then why wouldn't she say in e4,
"Hey Ben, it's me Leia. Remember me?
You saved me when I was a 10 yr old brat."
considering how she acted I would be REALLY careful about invoking that relationship.
- Hey uncle, I am strapped for cash and really need help, remember me? We met 10 years ago on a family reunion, I called you an old fart and broke your favourite motorcycle.
she doesn’t know ben and obi-wan are the same person, could be explained why she’s surprised when Luke says he brought ben kenobi to help save her instead of Obi-Wan. And named her son Ben, instead of Obi-Wan
@@scabs2040 Haja's last words in front of both of them mention Obi wan by name . "You're Not Alone Obi-Wan"
@@scabs2040 Leia wasn't surprised about Luke saying he brought Ben Kenobi instead of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Why? Because of the last name KENOBI! Unlike Owen Lars, Bail Organa had a better respect for Obi-Wan.

I don't get it. This is literally on The Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker level of insanity and stupidity and yet everywhere people hype it up and celebrate it as if it's genius writing. What have we ever done to deserve this? I just want to go back to pre 2015 Star Wars.

@@TapiKoks yes it was!!
2 episodes of a 6 episode series and so far this is "Leia Runs Like A Duck Away From People: A Star Wars Story."
I can see Obi-Wan being a bit demoralized from what he had been through, but he would never give up the Jedi way. These writers clearly don’t know Obi-Wan.
Just as they didn’t know Luke, Han, Leia and Fett. Amateur hour at Lucasfilm.
A bit demoralised? He was part of the Jedi Masters who missed Palpatine, was a key figure in the development of the clone army, he personally trained Anakin and lost him right under his nose, he thought he had slaughtered Anakin and yet he lived to suffer. Everything he believed in with the Jedi order had been destroyed, essentially no one was better placed to have to have foreseen the future and the risk that Anakin posed. The Jedi got things wrong, they weren’t the perfection they aspired to be.
Then he spends 10 years in exile on a barren desert planet as a grunt odd job man, living in a cave away from society every day fearing for his life. What Jedi or wannabe Jedi left are mostly all dead. What hope is there for Luke or Leia even if they survive? Who’s to say either of them also turn to the dark side? I’d be thinking how tf can this kid I’m babysitting somehow overthrow the whole Galactic Empire? He has more than enough to be gloomy about both from the past and for the future.
@@Anakinuk007 So why on earth is he so dead set on training Luke then, being the complete and utter failure he is???
And this right after he basically told a Jedi Outcast(who spent the last 10 years looking for Obi Wan)to bury his lightsaber and stay anonymous, since it’s too dangerous for Jedi’s, (essentially signing the poor dudes death warrant).
So, it’s too dangerous for a fully trained Jedi, but not for some 10 year old kid learning the Force? Ridiculous!
These morons at Lucasfilm really don’t have a clue what they’re doing.
@@crazyralph6386 - Well he had promised Yoda he would train Luke. Perhaps this is his second chance to make amends with his Anakin failure. He is a very well known character throughout the galaxy, living in the outer rim of nowhere is really his only viable option. He can watch out for Luke at the same time, two birds one stone!
The rebel alliance hasn’t really been fleshed out in terms of development, so I’m guessing at that time in history there wasn’t an option to muster a viable army to fight the Empire. He was on his own. All he had to focus on was Luke, and it was mentioned somewhere that if Anakin wasn’t the saviour of the force - then one of his kids might be instead. That’s the only grain of hope he has left to cling to. Let’s face it, there are many sloppy plot lines in STW especially Death Stars having ridiculous hit my destruct button not once but twice! I would imagine by the end of episode 6 it will become clearer as to why Kenobi himself could not take on the mantle of destroying the Empire.
@@Anakinuk007 I thought of the Yoda angle also however, obi wan specifically told Owen that he was to do the training, hence Lar’s response- “like you trained his father”?
I can't believe how bad it is! After 2 episodes I can't stand Princess Leia. PRINCESS LEIA!!!!!!! What the f**k has happened to quality storytelling?
it went to the garbage bin. you dont have to make a good story, have good writing skills. all you have to do is to make hidden agendas and make insecure ppl happy. this is why we see reva not getting punishmenet after disobeying 4 times almost a right hand of Darth Vader. this is why leia is so unlikeable. this is why obi wan has been transformed into the old coward loser who is a disgrace to QUI-GON ,YODA and all Jedi who died . this is why netflix witcher is hated by witcher fans (ppl who like the show are not fans they are pseudosmart asses who purposely like the show to make fans angry). this works btw. doing shows based on hidden agendas and ideologies/projecting/doublestandards. these shows have shomehow good ratings....
So the whole speech from the original Star Wars about how General Kenobi fought with her father in the Clone Wars was unnecessary? Wouldn't she have said, "Obi Wan, remember when you saved me from kidnappers when I was 10? Help me again."
I can't tell if the writers have brain damage or if I do. Is this supposed to make sense? Who is this series written for? Are we sure it's not just a fan film someone snuck on to the Disney+ servers? Frankly, I was just watching the reviews because they're more entertaining than the actual series. Now, I'm just embarrassed to call myself a Star Wars fan.
This is definitely not a fan film. If a fan got to make an Obi-Wan show with Ewan MacGregor, they wouldn't sideline him like this.
Have seen fan films WAY better than this.

At this point I don’t even think it’s incompetence, I think this is just deliberate sabotage. KK is bitter at the brand for the backlash she’s received and so she’s just blowing up the place as she leaves 🤦🏻♂️
It'd be funny if this was true because no company should allow one person that much power. There should be checks and balances of people so that people can go "that's awful" and not have to do it. But when you get bosses that want yes men and so people shut up for the sake of their future job prospects, those checks and balances vanish.
@@disparutoo It reminds me of how some people working with George Lucas didn't really speak up during the prequel trilogy, because it was George, the creator of Star Wars, as one said.

Awesome to see episode 2 review so soon.
I expected the show to mistreat the prequel era characters but didn't realize Leia would be dragged into this nonsense as well. Theres no reason why she should even be relevant to Star Wars story at this point.
Disney just can't help themselves. Destroying lore to push agendas.
Like you say, with Carrie sadly gone very recently, you'd think they would be respectful and leave her to rest.
Not to mention that her character didn't need any more attention but people have always been curious about this period of obi wan's life. It could have really bridged the gap between the prequels and originals. But no, more babysitting it is, with a story stolen from Jedi fallen order.
At least she can't fly. Yet.
Thank you! Honestly I watch this stuff and feel like I'm in a weird Twilight Zone episode where I see shows full of utter shit and everyone else in the world sees glorious entertainment with stunning writing to see how long it takes for my brain to start bleeding.
Woke media elevates woke opinion and gaslights the majority into thinking we're in the minority. Why Elon's exposure of Twitter being mostly bots and hundreds of thousands of fake followers of woke celebrities was so eye-opening.

"Ever seen." (full stop).
Not just in Star Wars. It was god awful and ultra cringe.
You're probably right. Even that ridiculous sight gag of the donkey-like alien farting in Jar Jar Binks' face in "Episode I" at least made logical sense...
38:04 If he is dead I'm relatively certain this DESTROYS continuity with Rebels. Which begs the question, why not just make another character?
Well I'm guessing he didn't actually die, but what am I to say? I ain't ever watched rebels
man i thought so this just destroys their already premade plot of him
It also kinda weakens his death in rebels, they had to fight him 2 on 1 to beat him and really struggled but here he doesn't even put up a fight
He ain't dead. In the vader comics an inquisidor was cut in half and they survived.
@@kaisac. kanan did do the majority of the work though.
Obi didn't even kill the second alien on the roof! He stopped shooting him to save Leia and somehow the alien gave up or something, and then Obi was on the street again all of a sudden??

And the worst thing is that we are only 2 episodes into this drivel!
im sensing a trend where male siths are gonna be all incompetent freaks while the sith gals are all gonna be graceful and exotic
Wtf. This is the Snoke situation all over again. How could the grand inquisitor not know that she would attack him. They can sense stuff like that. You can't sneak attack them. Wtf did he even let her talk back to him in the first place. Imagine someone talking back to Vader, you will be immediately killed. You don't become a grand inquisitor by being nice to subordinates.
@Siberian well I'm glad he isn't dead. It still doesn't make sense though. To me, it was bad writing. He should not be that easy to kill. His subordinate can literally read Obi Wans mind while he hides, but some how, the grand inquisitor, who is more powerful than her is unable to sense her murdering hostility
@Siberian he's dead.
@@kylegray1060 he literally can’t be dead if they’re trying to follow canon which they are
@Siberian The director did not watch Rebels and this is not the first time Disney Star Wars has contradicted itself.
@@otttx8368 Disney contradicts its own canon all the time. As an example Poe was never a spice runner till Rise of Skywalker invalidating his entire backstory they had built in books and comics.
I agree, it’s absolutely appalling. Disney and their agenda have their nasty hands all over what should have been treated far, far better. I felt sick watching it.
With the roof thing, they could have just showed Obi-wan jump off.
He's made bigger jumps before. Did they forget "hello there"?
Wouldn't be surprised if the writers haven't seen the prequels, honestly.
He hasn’t used the force in over a decade so I don’t think that’s really how he does things anymore
Disney does not understand the concept of continuity or hypocrisy. Like their philosophy of life, to allow it to exist, would tear their script/world view asunder.
Not only do the writers of this show shove in pretty much every generic storytelling trope there is, they bafflingly and overtly copy their own cannon from other Disney stories. My favorite example is Obi-Wan using the force to stop Leia from falling, it's literally Jedi Fallen Order, exactly the same plot point. This show is amazingly lazy
Meanwhile they at the same time contradict their own canon, killing the Grand Inquisitor off years before he was supposed to die in Rebels.
15:54 - "She has no kind of respect for the man..."
Sounds like about half of modern society.
The funnest thing to me is, make her 14 ad this is far less farcical. The bad attitude and ability to run away are made more plausible. He still should have used his force powers to keep her from running out of alley, though.
There still aint no way a 14 year old girl is outrunning 3 grown men. The attitude would make sense though.
He should use his Force powers to choke her unconscious. Maybe then, she'll shut up for awhile.
Could have just used blaster on stun mode and there would be no need for a stupid chase scene.
Sadly you are right this episode is worse than the first one. One little nitpick is that the pink haired girl 1:24 gives Ben the drug what he uses at 8:56 it is literally a get out of jail card given by a divers colored Type B :D
Otherwise Leia is an insufferable twat she is well over a rebellious tomboy. More like she is written like a 10 year old terrible two.
I lost all hope i had for this series.
Drug dealers are well known for giving drugs away for free.
@@rambler1475 Yes I am well aware that. But they give out enough stuff for one trip. But this girl gave Ben enough spice to totally melt 3 people, and still a lot left in the air and probably on the floor. This is at least a month worth of dose for one person via intended use. Just imagine how much cocaine would do the same. Do they give out that much?
@@Abydos01 I was being sarcastic. Drug dealers are "no money, no honey"
@@rambler1475 Ohh I did not hét that, sorry.
He was sneaking around a drug lab a few scenes later and could have just picked that stuff up himself.
I'm half-convinced that Disney purchased Star Wars to create a trilogy and shows that are so bad, we all end up looking at the prequels more fondly. It's a psyop lol.
We need James Cameron to raise the bar
its an interesting theory tbh. i wouldnt be surprised if they were jealous of george lucas and how he managed to create his own sci-fi without anyone help they just bought it out and purposely make everything for activists and agenda losers.
These reviews are so entertaining I love this
Thank you dude glad you enjoyed the video, plenty more to come :) And I've done the same for Halo and a few other shows.
@@disparutoo I'll definitely watch those too! I'd rather watch this and support you tubers like you than support disney shite! Welcome to the rebellion!
OMG! This show is so bad. The kid playing Leia cannot run worth a crap, yet she outruns everyone. The writing, acting and storyline are horrendous. This is much worse then I would have ever imagined it could be. Maybe it is actually supposed to be a comedy.
I’ve been raving about how excited I’ve been past year for this show with my dad. He’s in his 60s and I grew up watching Star Wars with him. I was so embarrassed when we watched it it broke our hearts. We had to just sit back and laugh because that’s what the show is. A joke
Why was he so hesitant to save Leia?? When did he become so partial to one of the twins? It doesn't make any sense. They should have used Leia's kidnapping to ignite a flame within him and snap back into his old ways.
Not accurate. He was devoted more to watch over Luke and train him thinking that he was going to be the one with the potential of his father and the potential to save the Jedi which he did. Yoda wasn't so sure, but that was only revealed at the end of the third movie of the original trilogy - at that point that information was only used as more motivation for Luke to defeat his father and protect his sister because of her own potential with the force. Obi Wan's prime mission was to watch over Luke, he should've never left the planet without guaranteeing Luke's safety first - that's the biggest problem in the first ep. Lea should've remained safe with her adoptive parents, the whole plot makes very little sense to the canon, she shouldn't even be a part of the show. Obviously, he also shouldn't have rejected the lone jedi's plea for help in the first ep. The plot is full of holes and contradictions to the main canon and the original trilogy.
@@rpgadventurer32 agreed on all points. I get that he vowed to watch over Luke, but he’s not REALLY doing that is he? More like checking in from time to time
@@masonthurman Yea. He's not. The funny thing is that the strong devotion for Luke and the Jedi cause exists in the comics from Disney. He saved him multiple times on Tatooine in added comics lore that they had from the past decade. They're contradicting their own version of the events from their own comics with this show.
"Obi Can-Blowme Play 2nd Fiddle in His Own Show on the Planet of Diversitooine" would be a great title for the series... but doesn't really roll off the tongue
🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's astounding that people didn't see this coming !!!??? Just behold Disney's history with star wars !!!
even boba fett wasn’t this bad
Obi slaughtered a fuck ton of clones in the Jedi Temple after they GENOCIDED all his friends. Why the fuck would he give him money?
I keep wondering how people who cant write theirselves out of a paper bag keep getting these franchises to ruin....
They bribe, sleep with the right people, or use strong arm tactics to get into positions of power where they can force their badly written "fan" fictions on the consumers.
Drugs, nepotism and producers chasing statistics like its gospel.
Great work man👌😉
Thanks Jaro, glad you enjoyed it appreciate the super thanks :D Have to say I didn't have very high hopes for this show but it's been a whole new level of awful I never could have predicted lmao
I love to watch you shred the horrible writing and editing and directing of these shows. I certainly wouldn't waste my time watching the actual show.
You just watched a 42 minute video on the show
@@Bhsbss1 At least this was entertaining.
28:20 The way the camera was pointed when Leia tried to make the jump... I thought they were going to show her do a Trinity and make an impossible jump using the Force. 😂
I mean, it isn't at all ridiculous. It is canonical that she can project a force field to survive the vacuum of space, even whilst unconscious
Im so glad that i found Disparu, his overviews are so good
Killing the Grand Inquisitor was so easy it begs the question why Kanan Jarrus had to put so much effort into it... Oh wait, that's right. He's supposed to be alive in like 5 or 6 years so Kanan Jarrus can kill him, but that would require Disney to actually care about continuity.
Ewan McGregor arguably made the role his own, but this sounds like Patrick Stewart dragging his Captain Picard role in the mud.
I was hoping at least Ewan would be good. He's not. Nothing about this show is good. Literally.
Dropped the Uri Geller reference, lol good one dude!
To be honest with you the Obi Wan Kenobi series is another insulting bait and switch series by Disney +. Which everyone and their brother could have seen a mile away. Lol
Sideshow Kenobi, Luke who?? ep1 & 2
People are denying it is though 😂 you have to shake your head at the delusion and ability to suck up disney propoganda and accept anything they churn out.
its so bad.... even hayden wont save this show. reva is so polarizingly annoying and badly written... hayden wont save this show im telling you. ewan cant save it bcuz he is also badly written.
"Apply lightsaber to face" i need that on a shirt.
The did it, they actually did it! They created a character which is even more insufferable than Kwan!
I never thought I'd see the day, and here we are in just a matter of weeks!
Who dat
The thing is they’ve made leia in ep IV dumb as dog shit because her message to kenobi references his service to her father in the clone wars…not 8 years ago you rescued me. She seems to have forgotten this service.
Its really beyond me how people could not like this show. The writers are clearly excellent, with a lot of enthusiasm and love for the franchise. Thats why every word out of Blowme´s mouth is convincing and coherrent, as well as in line with the character. The director focusses on whats important for the story, while paying a lot of attention to stay faithful to the source material, especially when it comes to the Jedi mythos. I would love to see more of these less important side characters tell me about their backstories, but staying with the main character almost all the time really reinforces the importance of his mission, which he adamantly follows. Hes a wonderful role model for strength of will and staying true to his beliefs while helping others to deal with their doubts. Like Luke Skywalker in "The last Jedi", hes the hero we all deserve.
Dude, You almost got me😄 great comment
I hereby award you the medal for outstanding sarcasm
(You)
'They're Sith. Apply lightsaber. To face.'
😂😂😂
If problem still present. Repeat.
The pointless drug dealer character was there as a favour to Ewan MacGregor as she’s his RL daughter. He probably arranged it as some sort of apology for her finding about him cheating on her mother with his costar, who is now his new wife, via the tabloids.
She was a plot convenience insert. Her free spice sample is what took out Needles and his men (somehow that strong even diffused in the air).
How does she know what a Jedi is or anything else about the? Maybe she can be the new Flash? 😂 Thanks for the laughs was much needed!
We laughed through the two episodes. It was exactly as expected at this point. The Disney fan fiction is only just getting started and it doesn't disappoint in how utterly terrible it is.
I cannot even begin to tell you how her killing the Grand Inquisitor breaks the cannon. THis show is assinine.
He got Shaak Ti'ed
Why is he so coy about using his lightsaber he doesn't think twice about lobbing off a guys arm in the middle of a packed bar guarded by storm troopers in ep4
That was nine years later and, presumably, he is in a better head space now that he has Luke under his wing.
I had no idea Kathleen Kennedy hated Leia so much.
Kathleen Kennedy hates Star Wars
I’m done. It’s the usual garbage.
Been done for years. We really should not give it any attention at all.
The Grand Inquisitor couldn't apply light saber to Black Amber Heard's face, because there is no Arnica cream in the Star Wars Universe
Thank you so much for this review! This episode was so painful to watch that I had to pause it, and search for the screenwriters to put a name on this crap! Disney is killing our heroes in all the franchises they own, filling their shows with unrealistic, absurd and annoying characters.
Well, at least Ewan probably got a new holiday villa and vintage motorbike out of it.
I'm glad I'm not the only person that can't stand this Leia. No 10 year old talks like this. Every time she opened her mouth I hated her more, not to mention it ripped me out of what little story there was to follow.
You surely haven't watched Home Alone before
@@DragonLord1125 at moments she acts like a 3yo.. and at moments she acts like a 27yo... and those 2 personas switch even more rapidly as the episode goes on.. its literaly unwatchable...
@@DragonLord1125 Yeah because when we watch a Star Wars show, we actually want something like Home Alone ... wait what?
From the loitering intellect of Klutch Kennedy, "Ovaries Won Kenobi".
Wait a second. Leia gave up the chance of calling the ship "a piece of junk"? What waste.
17:03 🤣 I am going to start diciplining my children now, in case they get kidnapped. 😂😂
I hate Inquisitor of Color. Also Grand Inquisitor appears in Rebels and this bint uses lightsaber to retcon it? I hate this show.
Thank you…. Haven’t laughed so much in awhile… love your accurate perspective…
Cheers for watching, glad you enjoyed it :) I cant wait for episode 3 where Kenobi fails to chase down a slug due to its incredible parkour skills.
How does she even know Anakin is Darth Vader, did she see him at the temple during order 66? Did Vader tell her that he used to be Anakin? How does she know this
She's a stronk independent whamen she's gotta know stuff cause she's the bestests
What is more surprising is that she is not already dead since Vader kills those who figure out that he is Anakin.
I’m calling it now, Darth Shaquita will end up fighting Vader and beating him.
It's sort of impressive how unfathomable it would be for Star Wars to be run into the ground anymore than it already has been... Yet Disney continues to impress.
1:13 the clone showed us what happened to them and the reacrion of obi wan realizing that they were nothing more than the emperor's puppets
Would never watch this trash, but I'm glad you've done it for us, so we can laugh at it, without actually watching it.
At least they can check off "dinosaurs" that was on the writers' wish board a ways back (15:09)....lol...
Good one!
people who write inconsistent powers are the type who say shit like "why do you complain about new powers in a show about space wizards."
it just shows an utter incomprehension of not just the genre or the show, but writing in general. without consistency there is nothing. without consistency there is no world, no tension, no reason behind the story. every moment of the story is a deus ex machina because at any single moment absolutely anything could happen in contradiction of everything that has come before. the plot becomes a meaningless series of disconnected events, like a child telling a story... "and then... and then... and then..."
Disparu rightly losing his rag at this is so funny. I’d like to see more of it.
Reva is just dark side Rey, and if you criticise her then you are racist and sexist. This show should just focus on Kenobi and Vader (The people who we came to see!)
This is contemporary Lucasfilm we’re talking about. You only get what you don’t want
Disney actually came out and said if you don't like the show you're racist. Bc they saw it was THAT bad, but they can't fire a black woman hahahaha
Racist and sexist? Are you serious? Grow up.
