52:14... there is a deleted part of the ROTS script about how Obi-Wan went to Padme’s house and he told her that “he’s not blind” about her and Anakin’s relationship and that he’s tried to be for their sake. He said “Anakin has loved you ever since he laid his eyes on you. He hasn’t even tried to hide it”, he also says “ And I was happy too, because it made him happy, you made him happy when nothing else really could”. I wish George had kept this in the script to add some depth and show more of Anakin and Obi-Wans brotherhood. Like so theory can see this please
The dialogue sure sounds like something George would write. Not anything wrong with that, but from those lines alone I can tell it was originally made by George. But a scene like that would’ve been great, especially since in Clone wars It becomes painfully obvious how much Anakin loved Padme, to the point where it creates a glare from Obi-Wan whenever Anakin oversteps and calls her Padme instead of Senator Amidala.
@@duncanfrench5731 Nobody mentioned Filoni, the padawan himself . Still have you seen Witwer in SW quizzes ? he can name ships , quote phrases with the voices with precision the dude is nuts when it comes to SW knowledge . Filoni is still the apprentice to Lucas so ... idk xD
Since Satine was introduced in TCW, I always thought that this is why Obi-Wan didn't talk to the Council about Anakin and Padmé. Once Obi-Wan even told Satine that he would have left the Order had she ever asked. And seeing Satine after so many years, I think he had some level of regret and he didn't want Anakin to feel that way or to deprive him from that kind of happiness.
I would love a new animated show set about 3-5 years before TPM. Set up more of the relationship of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, delve deeper into Palpatines backstory and his journey, show us Dooku during his time in the Order and up to the point where he decides to leave. So much to explore in that era.
Late reply but if you check out the book Master and Apprentice by Claudia Gray it pretty much checks all the boxes you listed and might scratch a but of that itch, but I agree that it would be cool as a show too though
This is my favorite rule of two. He is such a great voice actor. And he seems like such a humble guy. Wish we could get the voice actor of the clones on here as well!
Great interview and questions. So awesome to see Theory able to get people like James Arnold Taylor, Sam Witwer and Ashley Eckstein on his channel. Though, I would personally feel awkward asking a voice actor to do his characters on demand, as I'm sure they get asked by fans to do them all the time, like a circus monkey or something, but JAT was a gracious enough guy to do them all.
JAT does them constantly on his channel without even being asked. He will randomly slip into Obi wan when he’s just talking to his friends on videos haha. No worries here the dude genuinely loves to do it
That stream was amazing, I hope to see him next time. That Johny Test and Obi-wan voice over had me dying! It's so cool to know JAT is big fan of SW like we are.
You guys should give James the list of unanswered questions and let him do his own live stream or pre recorded videos answering them so people who’s questions didn’t get answered today don’t feel left out. Great interview!
Pushan M. They could at least pass off the super chat questions. Sure people donated to a good cause but still we paid money to try to have our questions answered by him
Pushan M. They said he was very limited on time. He showed interest in coming back. Some of the questions that don’t get answered are either 1. The same question 2. A dumb/offensive question
Darkteentitan I believe that to a certain point. For example, my superchat was simply thanking him for what he did in clone wars because it meant a lot to me because I watched it with my late grandma who passed in 2016. It’s very much something I’d like him to know. Just one example of how people’s superchats aren’t just “the same question” or “dumb and offensive”
Hey, if 3 of the four main Vegeta voices can do a panel at a convention, a panel of JA Taylor, Ewan McGregor, the guy from the Fan film and a family member of Alec Guinnes could also happen.
When I played revenge of the sith for the first time I thought the voices from obi wan, anakin and dooku were from the live action actors, I only found out that they were different voice actors years later
Wow what an engaging hour and 14 minutes. I could listen to James and you guys talk for ages. I knew he was an amazing guy already but this solidified it even more so. Hope he gets to do all the cameos and meet and work with everyone he wants to. He certainly deserves it. Thanks for having him on
Lego Star Wars came out before Episode III too and I remember my dad not letting me play those levels until after I saw the movie and I am so glad he didn’t looking back now. What a magical time that was.
Watching one of the childhood actors that helped me grow up to be who I am on the show is always a genuine treat! It’s so great to see James, Mark, and Theory get to have a great time while nerding out on Star Wars!
In regard to the question "Why didn't Obi Wan tell about Anakin's relationship," I personally believe it's because that's what Obi Wan wishes he could have had with Duchess Satine, and he simply sympathizes with his brother and student.
Thank you George Lucas for creating clone wars & the cgi technology i miss you & everybody who had a part of the show bc y’all actually gave me hope during the time of my verbal/physical alcoholic abusive parents it was my scapegoat for many years wish the show didn’t stop at season 6 even though I’m grateful we got 7 there was just was too many unfinished arcs that would’ve been beautiful to see animated especially obi & ankain talking about Ashoka , it still brings me joy to this day nonetheless lets hope bad batch does great as well. I hope your enjoying retirement George you deserve it you legend. Great Interview Theory thank you.
This video came up on my feed and woe I love it. Thankyou guys for getting James to hv a chat with. He really comes across as a super nice guy and totally deserves everything he has achieved.
"Flashbacks to the Clone Wars, with de-aging technology for Ewan and Hayden" - Theory, have you seen Ewan and Hayden? They. Have. Not. Aged. They can do all the flashbacks they want, zero dollars spent on de-aging, lol.
The coolest part about this is when James is talking about what Mark and Theory have spoken about in previous episodes of Rule of Two. It's so cool how much he nerds out about Star Wars, he's just a fan like the rest of us.
That would be really awesome if they interviewed various Star Wars authors. Unfortunately some of the original classics are no longer with us like Aaron Allston but interviewing Zahn, James Luceno, or Michael A. Stackpole for example could be very exciting especially cause many of their works were created either before or when the prequels were being made. Essentially they (among others) really helped to keep the Star Wars name alive and gave fans new adventures mainly set post Return of the Jedi. That said I'm not sure how many of their Star Wars works both Theory & Mark are familiar with.
Everybody talking about getting Matt Lanter back but I would like to see Samuel L Jackson and lets discuss his whereabouts after he was thrown from the Senates window. Hell who am I kidding, get as many star was actors and voice actors as you can get!
6:00 As an amateur voice actor myself, yeah, this is 100% on the money. Most of the time, our ability doesn't come out of nowhere. We're imitating characters as kids that we see on TV, or learning 'archetype' voices from comedians like George Carlin. I realized I could do voices well when I figured out how to do Kermit the Frog at the age of 9. From there it's snowballed and now I have done work for a couple of indie game titles.
I've never paid for content on RUclips. My 1st memory is sitting in the theater, watching the opening scene. Ominous music playing. Enter Lord Vader. I was hooked. And you gents are keeping the true spirit of Star Wars alive, Thank You, and may the force always be with you.
Master and Apprentice audio book has such good production value. The narrator Jonathan Davis does a great job sounding like Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. Very talented individual. Great story overall. Also great video guys!
James is so genuine. God bless you! I didn't know he was a brother in Christ, it's so rare in this business. ❤ I loved him voicing young Doc in Back To The Future game! 1:09:06 That's so cool! I wonder, does that mean Hayden watched the Clone Wars? So if there are TCW flashbacks in the Kenobi series, he has the knowledge of aaaall that's happened to Ani and Obi? Brooo 🤩🤞
I have literally listened to this man for hours. He's so wholesome and the fandom is so fortunate to have him
I agree
I follow his RUclips channel too, he’s just such a genuine guy and of course a phenomenal actor
yes.
Saaaaaame
Lost me at wholesome
While I can’t speak for them, hearing Obi Wan Kenobi saying he’s honored to meet me would literally be the highlight of this decade rn
I'm honored to meet you
Obi Wan Kenobi omg hahaha. Love you Obi wan

I wish George had kept this in the script to add some depth and show more of Anakin and Obi-Wans brotherhood. Like so theory can see this please
It was in the novelization. Theory has covered it before I believe
I think theory has covered it while looking at the behind the scene
The dialogue sure sounds like something George would write.
Not anything wrong with that, but from those lines alone I can tell it was originally made by George. But a scene like that would’ve been great, especially since in Clone wars It becomes painfully obvious how much Anakin loved Padme, to the point where it creates a glare from Obi-Wan whenever Anakin oversteps and calls her Padme instead of Senator Amidala.
Future Guests Stars Id want to see someday
Dave Filoni
Matt Lanter
Hayden Christianson
George Lucas
Ewan Mcgregor
Warwick Davis
Good Luck with Hayden,George and especially Ewen. They are huge Celebs.
Dylan M I don’t know Mark seems to have connections so who knows
And Sam Witwer!
Jadon Williams theory had sam witwer on the podcast before
@@dylanm730 I can see Hayden and Ewan do it, but if they got Lucas on, that would be a damn miracle lol
1:00:00 “...I’ve never met anyone who knows more about Star Wars than Sam Witwer.”
*Theory sobs*
lol 😂
😂😂
nah theory knows he cant compete with Witwer ! Sam just knows a lot like a lot a lot its ridiculous really .
What about dave filoni
@@duncanfrench5731 Nobody mentioned Filoni, the padawan himself . Still have you seen Witwer in SW quizzes ? he can name ships , quote phrases with the voices with precision the dude is nuts when it comes to SW knowledge . Filoni is still the apprentice to Lucas so ... idk xD
Fun fact: James Arnold Taylor, Matt Lanter, and Ashley Eckstein all voiced characters in the show Ultimate Spider-Man.
Cool I never knew that
Dee Bradley Baker voiced in it as well
Inaren Commander do you know which characters they where I used to love that show
Matt Lanter was Flash Thompson, but that's the only one I remember.
Woah cool
A Star Wars actor that is just as geeked out as us fans. I love JAT!!!
I actually like how Arnold Taylor voiced Obi-Wan Kenobi in revenge of the sith video game
"What's the matter Anakin, afraid?"
He's practically been the voice of him for almost all media except some direct to video Lego movies and the movies
Also “you’re a discrace to the force” or something like that
And in the original clone wars show (2003)
Darth Bandicoot *"THATS NOT HOW THE FORCE WORKS..!"*
@@diego1951 you're
"George liked Clone Wars so much so he showed up every day"
Me - *viseable happiness*
Wholesome
him never getting to meet ewen is a crime against the world.
He will. Fans campaigned heavily to get him on the kenobi series in any small role.
They met for the first time at Celebration 2023!

Obi-Wan is here, I must face him alone
You killed him!
Hello tratior
Hello there Vader, Luke and Sidious!!!! Lol
@@lexi46960 in time you will call me master
We'll take him together
I agree with General Obi-Wan
Hello There
I'm so glad you never killed any Jedi.
Jotaro Kujo wasn’t for a lack of trying
I read this in Rex’s voice
Dude, I listened to this guy without saying a word for hours. He is so dam intresting.
I really enjoyed watching and hearing such good stories.James knows how to tell them too.Great guest.
I would love a new animated show set about 3-5 years before TPM. Set up more of the relationship of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, delve deeper into Palpatines backstory and his journey, show us Dooku during his time in the Order and up to the point where he decides to leave. So much to explore in that era.

James Arnold Taylor is such an awesome person and kind soul.
Yeah!
i hope Hayden is gonna be the next guest of this podcast
Or Ewan
I've got chills. Absolutely amazing!!
Chill out man
Pretty cool to hear a shoutout to Mat Lucas. Always enjoyed him in the ROTS game, Battlefront 2 2005, and the CW microseries.
James is AWESOME! I watch and listen to his channel and his talking to himself episodes. BEST info.
That stream was amazing, I hope to see him next time. That Johny Test and Obi-wan voice over had me dying! It's so cool to know JAT is big fan of SW like we are.
Time stamp?
@@codyj.braunva5406 1:00:56
Best SW Celebration host they have ever had!
Agreed!!
You guys should give James the list of unanswered questions and let him do his own live stream or pre recorded videos answering them so people who’s questions didn’t get answered today don’t feel left out. Great interview!
Josh Bing it simply won’t be possible
Pushan M. They could at least pass off the super chat questions. Sure people donated to a good cause but still we paid money to try to have our questions answered by him
Josh Bing what I’m saying is that there were up to 300 questions. And in another video Sw theory said he would only choose a select few
Pushan M. They said he was very limited on time. He showed interest in coming back. Some of the questions that don’t get answered are either
1. The same question
2. A dumb/offensive question
Darkteentitan I believe that to a certain point. For example, my superchat was simply thanking him for what he did in clone wars because it meant a lot to me because I watched it with my late grandma who passed in 2016. It’s very much something I’d like him to know. Just one example of how people’s superchats aren’t just “the same question” or “dumb and offensive”
I love that all the clone wars voice actors are not just actors but huge Star Wars fans as well.
I spent many many hours with Tidus and Clone Wars Obi Wan as a youth... cheers to this man!!!
Had a smile on my face for the entire podcast. We are absolutely blessed to have James Arnold Taylor in the Star Wars community.
You need Hayden, George Lucas, or mark hamill on the show.
I bet Mark would be down 100%
Oh yeah mark would be awesome
And water is wet lol
Good luck getting George 😂
@Le Gonk That would be amazing
Brooo James’ Christopher walken impression had me dead 😭🤣🤣
James’ voice is so delicate especially when voicing Obi-wan
such a great interview. Ireally miss these interviews with the actors in star wars.
I hope Arnold meets ewin mcgregor & Harrison ford real soon loved this podcast.
Yes. His podcast is the chosen podcast. He will bring balance to my entertainment.
Ewan*

This guy is amazingly genuine

They are the actor’s voices. James voiced Obi-Wan in the Clone Wars TV series.

Thanks for having him on
He is amazing
James Arnold is a genious! He loves star wars soooo much! We love you James! Thank you very much for being so great and giving so much to the saga
Having a voice actor as a best friend would be awesome.
No idea he played Titus. When he started talking nostalgia hit me so hard but I couldn’t place it until he said it!
man I can really hear tidus when he talks, I love it, this guy's awesome
He also voiced Ratchet.
I love James Arnold Taylor he’s a great voice actor and you can tell he really loves Star Wars
One of my favorite people!! Much Love JAT!!
James Arnold Taylor is one of the most amazing men out there. The fandom is so lucky to have him.
Lego Star Wars came out before Episode III too and I remember my dad not letting me play those levels until after I saw the movie and I am so glad he didn’t looking back now. What a magical time that was.

When you’ve watched clone wars conversations and u remember all the stories James has told already. It’s still so good listening to them again
In regard to the question "Why didn't Obi Wan tell about Anakin's relationship," I personally believe it's because that's what Obi Wan wishes he could have had with Duchess Satine, and he simply sympathizes with his brother and student.
Always love to see genuine fans acting in star wars. And when they make time for us fans, gold!
By far the best episode of Rule of two. Amazing guy.
James Arnold Taylor is an amazing person!!! Loved this stream so much and hearing him say “Hello There” was so awesome!!! Great stream!
1:00:56 Never knew I'd see Johnny Test meet Obi-Wan till now, this is amazing

Coming back 2 years later, and J.A.T hints at the tales of the jedi at the 46 minute mark lol
"Flashbacks to the Clone Wars, with de-aging technology for Ewan and Hayden" - Theory, have you seen Ewan and Hayden? They. Have. Not. Aged. They can do all the flashbacks they want, zero dollars spent on de-aging, lol.
This dudes the best voice actor. He loves what he does and loves doing the fan service laugh. Lol. He owns it!
The coolest part about this is when James is talking about what Mark and Theory have spoken about in previous episodes of Rule of Two. It's so cool how much he nerds out about Star Wars, he's just a fan like the rest of us.
We as fans are so lucky to have James! What a wholesome guy who truly loves star wars and respects the fandom
this guy is so cool, humble and is nice as can be and also really talented
He did the Titus laugh 😂 I’m dying
My mind was blown when he said he voiced Tidus
Obi Wan/Christopher Walken Priceless😂 Great episode🎉
1 min into the vid
Theory: Tell us your story
Ads: Oh I don't think so
GET MATT LANTER NEXT
I would die
Oh that would be so freaking sick. Or Mark Hamill, that would be a bold one. I kinda wanna see Ian on here too.
Next: Dee Bradley Baker
Best. Guest. Ever. JAT is a significant part of why Star Wars is so cool and I hope he continues to get be in future shows (young obiwan or post RotJ)
What set was he on with Sam? Why is nobody talking about this?!!!!
Think he slipped up about something 😂 unless James and Sam DID do a cameo on mando that was filming?
It must’ve been the Mandalorian season 2
READ Comics yeah I would say so.
Luke G definitely
He said with Dave too!
This is awesome!
When I left I was just a learner now I am the master
Only a master of evil, Darth!
Obi wan: Only a master at getting caught....
Vader:......Very funny
All I hear is Tidus from Final fantasy 10!! Thank you for all you do Mister JAT!
This is definitely fun to watch
Awesome episode boys. So cool having James on. Can’t wait for him and Sam to return. 🔥🔥
10:13, WAIT! That’s the voice I knew! I already thought… it was a little weird in the beginning, but now it makes sense 😂 omg
Theory “I really want to see younglings get brutally murdered” 😂
Deep down we all do
Always love the extra layers and perspectives when you have these interviews. Would be really curious what Timothy Zahn would have to say.
That would be really awesome if they interviewed various Star Wars authors. Unfortunately some of the original classics are no longer with us like Aaron Allston but interviewing Zahn, James Luceno, or Michael A. Stackpole for example could be very exciting especially cause many of their works were created either before or when the prequels were being made. Essentially they (among others) really helped to keep the Star Wars name alive and gave fans new adventures mainly set post Return of the Jedi. That said I'm not sure how many of their Star Wars works both Theory & Mark are familiar with.
Everybody talking about getting Matt Lanter back but I would like to see Samuel L Jackson and lets discuss his whereabouts after he was thrown from the Senates window. Hell who am I kidding, get as many star was actors and voice actors as you can get!
Thank you for this and thank you to James for coming on the show ☺️
6:00 As an amateur voice actor myself, yeah, this is 100% on the money. Most of the time, our ability doesn't come out of nowhere. We're imitating characters as kids that we see on TV, or learning 'archetype' voices from comedians like George Carlin. I realized I could do voices well when I figured out how to do Kermit the Frog at the age of 9. From there it's snowballed and now I have done work for a couple of indie game titles.
this is so much fun , great ep
I've never paid for content on RUclips. My 1st memory is sitting in the theater, watching the opening scene. Ominous music playing. Enter Lord Vader. I was hooked. And you gents are keeping the true spirit of Star Wars alive, Thank You, and may the force always be with you.

Fantastic episode! So many awesome insights into the Clone Wars and just more reassurance that Dave Filoni needs to be the creative head.
I have rewatched this stream probably 5 times. Probably the greatest Interview so far.
Such an Awesome Episode
I hope Ian McDiarmid is the next guest, but he might be hard to get.
Yeah! What if Theory got Hayden, Mark Hamill, or even... George?
James is so genuine. God bless you! I didn't know he was a brother in Christ, it's so rare in this business. ❤ I loved him voicing young Doc in Back To The Future game!
1:09:06 That's so cool! I wonder, does that mean Hayden watched the Clone Wars? So if there are TCW flashbacks in the Kenobi series, he has the knowledge of aaaall that's happened to Ani and Obi? Brooo 🤩🤞
As a FF fan first,, He will always be Tidus to me. I love James to death
Y’all gotta get the whole cast back together for this, that would be so sick
This was so much fun to watch. Thank you Theory and everyone you work with that made this possible!
What a great guy, thank you so much for all you have given the community
I legit had the most happiest smile on my face when i read the title and saw/heard James. He ,Alec, Ewan are my fav portrayals of Obi-Wan. ^_^
THIS. WAS . JUST. AWESOME. ! Nothing more to say . Thank you Theory and Marc the Greatest Duo Of All Time and thank you to James, such a nice guy !!!
11:30 THIS GUY IS AMAZING LOL
Man, he can do some solid cartoon voices! Great job, man.
I woke up 3 hours ago, I wanted to get more sleep, I woke up 15 minutes ago, and I realised this video...😭
This is Outrageous!
It's unfair!
