Hayden Christensen was never a bad actor. George Lucas's direction was practically non-existent, the actors have insinuated as much, and on top of that the dialogue he was given was wooden asf. He deserves the respect he's getting now.
Amen brother. I’ve been saying this for thirty years. Lucas has been grossly overrated. He was always a visionary, but he was also a shitty film maker.
many actors were given terrible lines and still pulled them off when Hayden didn't. so yes, he was a bad actor to me during the 2nd prequel, did better during the 3rd. it's not a fact. it's an opinion. you're not wrong for liking his acting and neither am i for not, but you are wrong for saying 'never a bad actor' as if it's a fact. subjective is not objective.
Hayden has said he was told by George to try to mimic James E Jones' speech pattern. Long drawn out sentances, monotone ect. So i blame George only for the actual dialogue rathen than Haydens direction on it.
Absolutely. It was the awful writing and non existent direction. Even Natalie Portman seemed bad, and she went to become an Oscar winning actress. They were all good actors, they were just given bad dialogues and no direction.
Great start to this series. Leia definitely inherited her mothers stubbornness and her fathers sass and Ewan as always is great. BTW the actor who plays the Fifth Brother, the inquisitor with the hat, is Sung Kang. He plays Han in the Fast & Furious franchise
Leia is her father's daughters and Luke is his mother's son. He got Anakin's kindness and Padme's stubbornness, Leia got Anakin's sass, and attitude and Padme's grace. ANAKIN WOULD'VE LOVED THEM BOTH AND I'M SAD HE DIDN'T GET TO BE A DAD DAMMIT.
I believe its both: 1) Leia unknowingly used the force to read her cousin and 2) she's been trained to one day become a senator, so it could be her putting those skills to work
If it's her skills then why need the force as an explanation? Her skills suffice. No need to start saying everything is the force just because we know who her dad is.
Fallen Order IS canon. Actually, one of the things we're hoping to get in the series is the merging of both stories at some point and seeing the main character of the game in here as well.
Its just been announced that Fallen Order 2 takes place 5 years after the 1st, during the same time this show is set. How epic would it be to see Cal in this story and it end up being a mission in game.
Micky is right, Obi Wan can feel the kyber crystal, that's why he knows where the lightsabers were buried. Jedi are atuned to their crystal and can actually hear them
Hayden's acting was fine, he acted exactly how a 20 year old monk with emotional issues whose never talked to a girl and has been crushing on his baby sitter for 10 years would act, and that's the character George wanted
@@Zack-bl1cw For a psychologist, sure. But, most ten year old kids don't have that insight. Granted, Leia's analysis might be a mix of her training as a senator and Padme's inheritance, but its more likely that's her Skywalker lineage coming into play.
I really like that it shows how much it mentally messed up Obi-Wan when Anakin became Vader. They were so close (Clone Wars is a testament to that)… now this. Really tragic and sad. Also, I love the little detail that both young Luke and Leia share Anakin’s adventurous spirit, wanting to get out there and explore the Galaxy.
The Grand Inquisitor was a former Jedi Temple Guard. His character was introducted in Star Wars: Rebels along with Fifth Brother as part of the Inquisitorius, the organization hunting the Jedi. Reva is a new character for the Obi-Wan series.
20:00 - "thats the lightsabre he gives to Luke.." (about a lightsabre that belongs to a random Jedi) 37:34 - "thats the lightsabre he gives to Luke" (a lightsabre inside a box) This guy always spitting out facts that contradict each other lol. The Lightsabre that Obi-wan gives to Luke belonged to Anakin that he dropped on Mustafar. Its the one in the box next to Obi-wan's lightsabre.
They wouldn't act like that they are ruthless from every medium, it's just to tone up Reva I think, they can still maintain their ruthlessness and make her different but yeah that's how the Hollywood works.
The recap of the prequels literally gave me chills , the I hate you was brilliant job done by Hayden . Obi wan character was absolutely phenomenal done by Ewan . The PTSD nightmare he was having is so sad and at the same time so minutely interesting detail . Can't wait for you all to react to episode 2 . There's a big surprise for Obi wan and you all as well .
23:49 No one outside of Obi Wan, Yoda, and Bail and his wife know that Luke and Leia are Anakin Skywalker’s kids. Vader assumed the kids died with Padme. It’s explained in episode 2 why they went after Leia.
Alright, right off the bat I will not stand for Hayden slander. You can not watch Revenge of The Sith and tell me Hayden had a bad performance, but that's besides the point. Give him some time to show his stuff in the show before looking at a performance he gave without the privilege of a good script. Sorry, I get heated whenever Hayden is given shit he doesn't deserve. You can dislike his performance, but calling him a "terrible actor" is just being disrespectful for no reason.
When Bail’s wife says “I know who she’s like.” She talking about Anakin. Luke has Anakin’s skills but has Padme’s personality and Leia is the opposite. Both are extremely strong in the Force but Luke is ever the only one to ever push himself completely in both Canon and Extended Universe.
Same most reactors sadly skip the animations. Very unfortunate cause they are amazing. But it’s funny seeing characters from the shows and reactors be “who’s that?” Lol always make me chuckle
Vivien Lyra Blair (Young Leia) may look small, but she will actually be ten years old in a couple of weeks or so. She's just a smaller ten year old. (and in all fairness, adult Leia was naturally small for adult standards too...not to say anything bad of Carrie Fisher's height)
Kinda frustrating how they spent the first 5 minutes of the video once again making out like Revenge is a terribly done movie when it's arguably the best.
There's so many answers to the questions asked: Are the Inquisitors new? Two are already from canon (Rebels/Comics). Is Jedi Fallen Order Canon?: Yes. There should be a Star Wars 'What If': There is.
John Williams had 2 weeks between projects during which he wrote a 4 minute piece called the Obi-Wan Kenobi Theme, the one major character he never wrote a theme for. His piece is the road map to score the series with templates for variations. I cried listening to it on Spotify - highly recommended.
Rana was definitely right about Leia showing with the force. Kenobi was concerned if Luke was showing with the force and then we get dialogue between Organa and Kenobi about how Leia is important too because of her lineage. They’re definitely trying to reinforce that Leia is force sensitive with her intuition and emotional reading.
I will defend Hayden to the end of time, he did a great job with what he was given. If you watch the behind-the-scenes you clearly see Lucas giving directions on how to play the scene, if you have an issue with how Anakin was played in the films talk to George Lucas.
@@life09m sure most of it Is lackluster but what is good is probably some of the best media Star wars has ever produced, everything with Vader,maul,thrawn and a lesser extent the mandalorians and the Jedi and even Ashoka were fire
Hayden’s acting wasn’t bad. The writing and direction was. Look at anything else he was in even at that time he did good work. He was just given a bad hand. If he had good writing and if George Lucas actually gave direction, Hayden could’ve done great.
George did give good direction. I think the writers were to blame honestly. Anakin was a 20 year old with lots of emotions. He is madly in love and not quite fully matured yet and he lost his mother as well as Qui-Gon. Him being all pouty and throwing tantrums is part of who his character is.
The Obi Wan theme was composed by John Williams....He contacted Lucasfilm and said "I want to compose 'Benny' a theme" and whooooosh.......The man is a legend.....I sobbed when he played it for the first time at Celebration!!!
So, we got Flea from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers in this first episode and later on (since the casting was announced a while back) we got O'Shea Jackson jr., Ice Cube's son. One hot minute straight outta Mos Eisley, y'all!
How is "from my point of view" a bad line like I swear many SW fans just parrot an opinion they got from a youtuber and pass it as valid film criticism like "show don't tell." In episode 6 was it bad writing when Obi-Wan said "from a certain point of view" which Obi-Wan got from what Anakin said to him?
I always ask myself how you can enjoy watching a show by constantly chatting and commenting almost every little thing you see. The amount of things you oversee this way must be astonishing.
I recommend watching Star Wars Rebels after you guys finish Clone Wars. They introduced the Inquisitors and are featured a lot for the first two season.
@The Normies, 36:54 Exactly! You watched all of Star Wars: Clone Wars, right? The episode with the younglings was a really great arc. That all went on their own separate adventure to find their own unique Kyber crystals--Kyber crystals call out to specific Force users. Jedi do not choose their Kyber crystal/light saber color, the crystal chooses them. 37:48 I think she (Reva) was one of the Jedi younglings we saw training with the Jedi Master at the start of the episode. When asked what she expects to get out of finding Obi-Wan, she said what she's owed. I think she blames Obi-Wan for her master's death, her friends and her new life. Obi-Wan was supposed to be one of the best, and his student and friend, his the source of her pain. Finding/killing Obi-Wan will give her at the very least closure. 37:58 The Inquisitors are former Jedi, the ones that chose to serve the Dark Side instead of accepting death.
Considering what yall said about Stranger Things... I have watched the Obi-Wan ep1 and 2 by myself. I have rewatched EP1 with a patreon channel. And I have watched youtube reactions from 3 or 4 channels now including yours. All this before starting Stanger Things S4E1. LOL
I put the video on and got distracted so I turned back at hearing Chris start the intro and am just confronted by him in his dope ass cosplay. That was fun for me.
Bail: "My wife and I always wanted a daughter." Meanwhile Luke: "....." And the fact it was completely unnecessary to separate them. Been years since I watched prequels but I don't think anyone outside of Padme and maybe her robot obgyn knew she was expecting twins. Hell, now that I think about it I don't even think Padme knew.
@@atkim122 It's just odd, I think it's due to retroactively having to explain the sibling reveal & make it make sense when incorporated into the story. But I guess both hiding places make sense, Leia is protected within her family while Luke is in the last place Vader/the Empire would ever think to check (I guess? I've heard that justification somewhere & can see its validness).
The actress that played Little Leah is actually 9 years old and she will turn 10 on June 4th next month and she played Sandra Bullock's daughter in the movie "Bird Box".
Obi-Wan was a broken man when we first met him in Episode 4. Don’t forget he told Luke that he used to be a Jedi Knight like his father. Note the past tense. In Episode 6, Obi-Wan is still a broken man as he tells Luke that Vader is “more machine than man.”
Lucasfilm hired an eight year old (9 at time of filming) to play ten year old Leia. That says a lot about Lucasfilm's plans for the character of Leia in the coming years. I think we are watching the recasting of Leia for the future.
“I think these are all new characters” the grand inquisitor and the brother (I think it’s the fifth brother but might be wrong) are in rebels but the third sister is new. The other sister who I don’t think has been named yet is new as well I think. Also they don’t know that it’s vaders child. Since Vader thinks his wife died before childbirth he thinks his children are dead, they kidnapped her because she was bails daughter and bail and obi wan are friends
Vivien Lyra Blair who plays young Leia is actually cast pretty age appropriate. She is playing 10 year old Leia and she is actually 9 years old and will be 10 years old on June, 4. I know there were some questions from the Normies about her age with them saying she looks 5, but she was actually cast for the correct age. So far I think she is an amazing young Leia and does pull some Padme vibes at times too. Great casting in my opinion.
Bail was watching Leia dress down her cousin. It’s not clear whether the cousin snitched or not, but they did show Bail watching Leia during the party. That’s how he knew what happened. He keeps a close eye on her.
There's so many good movies with Hayden besides Star Wars that he absolutely KILLS it on, the 2 that pop into my head when I think of Hayden are Jumper and Takers. He's sooo phenomenal and honestly I love those movies more than the Prequels with him.
What y'all bet that the black child in Jedi School in the very first fight scene is 3rd Sister? It would explain her "interest" in finding Obi Wan. Maybe Obi Wan fled the scene in the beginning and left the children???
Thank you Spidey for calling out that chase scene. It was so bad, they were jogging so slow and were running into branches when they were staring at it
"Old Obi Wan is smart and wise but he isn't a fighter" Meanwhile Obi-Wan in rebels win a duel in 5 seconds. And yes Mikey is right Jedi can sense their kyber crystal, this is proven in The Gathering
The Third Sister is new for this series, the Fifth Brother and the Grand Inquisitor are featured in Rebels. The Fifth Brother is played by Sung Kang, aka. Han from the Fast & Furious movies. Also, Luke used to bullseye womp rats in his T-16 (skyhopper) back home, and they're not much bigger than 2 meters.
OBI-WAN KENOBI ACTORS & CHARACTERS: Ewan McGregor as Ob-Wan Kenobi Rupert Friend as The Grand Inquisitor ( Peter Quinn - "Homeland" ) Sung Kang as The Fifth Brother ( Han Lue - "Fast & Furious" ) Moses Ingram as Reva Sevander / The Fifth Sister (Jolene - "The Queen's Gambit" ) Joel Edgerton as Owen Lars Bonnie Piesse as Beru Whitesun Lars Jimmy Smits as Senator Bail Organa Simone Kessell as Breha Organa Vivien Lyra Blair as Leia Organa ( Olympia - "Bird Box" ) Kumail Nanjiani as Haja Estree Benny Safdie as Nari Flea as VectNokru Ming Qui as Jedi Master Minus Velti Marise Alvarez as Nyche Temuera Morrison as Veteran Clone Trooper Grant Feely as Luke Skywalker Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader

Hayden delivers throughout the prequels when we would get hints of his dark side. His "I HATE YOU" to Obi-Wan is brutal af
He's a little up and down throughout but he did come to play on the "I hate you" line.
One thing that goes forgotten in his acting is that he modeled his delivery whenever Anakin does dark things after James Earl Jones' Vader cadence.
Hayden was a great physical actor
@@Countdooku97 yeah the suffering and darkness he can convey with just his face his awesome. I love that guy

Great start? LOL the chase scene ruined it all HAHAHA
I believe its both: 1) Leia unknowingly used the force to read her cousin and 2) she's been trained to one day become a senator, so it could be her putting those skills to work
I agree. It's a combination of her natural gifts in the Force and the environment she was raised in.
No she didnt LMFAO are you serious? Deborah Chow has no brain. The directing of these two episodes was AWFUL
If it's her skills then why need the force as an explanation? Her skills suffice. No need to start saying everything is the force just because we know who her dad is.

Been years since I watched prequels but I don't think anyone outside of Padme and maybe her robot obgyn knew she was expecting twins. Hell, now that I think about it I don't even think Padme knew.
@@atkim122 It's just odd, I think it's due to retroactively having to explain the sibling reveal & make it make sense when incorporated into the story. But I guess both hiding places make sense, Leia is protected within her family while Luke is in the last place Vader/the Empire would ever think to check (I guess? I've heard that justification somewhere & can see its validness).
The actress that played Little Leah is actually 9 years old and she will turn 10 on June 4th next month and she played Sandra Bullock's daughter in the movie "Bird Box".
Obi-Wan was a broken man when we first met him in Episode 4.
Don’t forget he told Luke that he used to be a Jedi Knight like his father. Note the past tense.
In Episode 6, Obi-Wan is still a broken man as he tells Luke that Vader is “more machine than man.”
Lucasfilm hired an eight year old (9 at time of filming) to play ten year old Leia.
That says a lot about Lucasfilm's plans for the character of Leia in the coming years.
I think we are watching the recasting of Leia for the future.
“I think these are all new characters” the grand inquisitor and the brother (I think it’s the fifth brother but might be wrong) are in rebels but the third sister is new. The other sister who I don’t think has been named yet is new as well I think. Also they don’t know that it’s vaders child. Since Vader thinks his wife died before childbirth he thinks his children are dead, they kidnapped her because she was bails daughter and bail and obi wan are friends
So mad I watched the first two episodes today. I wanna binge this show so bad
The commentary from these guys is next level 😂😂
Finish Clone Wars, you must. Lot to learn, you still have. Normies, you guys are.
That water bottle at the very edge of the table is driving me insane. 😅
Min 22:36 - Like them not having a clue who the inquisitors were when they saw the trailer 😅😂
Vivien Lyra Blair who plays young Leia is actually cast pretty age appropriate. She is playing 10 year old Leia and she is actually 9 years old and will be 10 years old on June, 4. I know there were some questions from the Normies about her age with them saying she looks 5, but she was actually cast for the correct age. So far I think she is an amazing young Leia and does pull some Padme vibes at times too. Great casting in my opinion.
Bail was watching Leia dress down her cousin. It’s not clear whether the cousin snitched or not, but they did show Bail watching Leia during the party. That’s how he knew what happened. He keeps a close eye on her.
A space koala pops up on the screen that eats its own diarrhea and spits acid on little children for fun

Congrats on 600K! Catching up on y'al OB1 joints
Viewers: man RUclips recommendations are being boring lately-
Kenobi Clips: *Hello There!*
I got the same feels at the beginning with the padwans training and order 66 starting.
Like "Holy crap... we're starting HERE...."
Heck of an intro.
There's so many good movies with Hayden besides Star Wars that he absolutely KILLS it on, the 2 that pop into my head when I think of Hayden are Jumper and Takers. He's sooo phenomenal and honestly I love those movies more than the Prequels with him.
I love Damarin’s evil grin in the thumbnail
What y'all bet that the black child in Jedi School in the very first fight scene is 3rd Sister? It would explain her "interest" in finding Obi Wan. Maybe Obi Wan fled the scene in the beginning and left the children???
Hayden was amazing in Life as a House!
Thank you Spidey for calling out that chase scene. It was so bad, they were jogging so slow and were running into branches when they were staring at it
I gotta say if you go running into unfamiliar woods, you might run that way? At least I have. Lol
Rena with that FF reference. I see you, madam!
Nah this premiere was deep!
Fifth Brother is played by Sung Kang
The cool dood that plays Han in the F&F series
“There should be a star wats what if” THERE LITERALLY IS!!
when that thug hit the tree chasing Leia LUL🤦♂
Bro I thought it was Michael Rooker at first too and than I was like, duh it’s Flea. They do look similar though haha 😂
The Inquisitors are like the Men in Black, they read the Tabloids to get intel
"Old Obi Wan is smart and wise but he isn't a fighter"
Meanwhile Obi-Wan in rebels win a duel in 5 seconds. And yes Mikey is right Jedi can sense their kyber crystal, this is proven in The Gathering
Holy crap! you guys were on the money with the hand comment, but in Star Wars, it's pretty much expected!
The Third Sister is new for this series, the Fifth Brother and the Grand Inquisitor are featured in Rebels. The Fifth Brother is played by Sung Kang, aka. Han from the Fast & Furious movies.
Also, Luke used to bullseye womp rats in his T-16 (skyhopper) back home, and they're not much bigger than 2 meters.
You vs Eric
Star wars off behind the gym
3pm
@@jjmmm515 eric would lose. Eric is the kind of star wars fan that thinks he knows so much, while being consistently wrong.
The Asian actor (Inquisitor) is the guy from Fast & Furious. Little Leia is played by the girl from Bird Box.
Also... The little African American "Youngling" in the beginning is actually Reva (the Inquisitor).
8:06 "Fallen Jedi Order"
Close Enough My Friend
Leia: *talks shit about her cousin*
Me: "How old are you?"
Leia: "10"
Me: "You don't sound like you're ten."
I feel like they watch this more as a joke than listen and get emotionally invested like it is intended to be
Why judge how invested someone has to be in watching something ? Like it’s literally space wizards how can you not be somewhat joke about it all LOL

This show is good so far
Obi-Wan’s attitude here is just like Luke in The Force Awakens/The Last Jedi.
