After Kenobi, I'm never watching another new Star Wars movie/series ever again, not until disnep sells the franchise to someone who actually will know what to do with it.
@@palpatinethesenatehog7086 hey man, Andor was a breath of fresh air. Sure the action starts on like episode five but it really picks up from there. The writing is so good.. that it’s boring
I'm 51 and Kenobi has been my favorite character and I'm so done with SW that I didn't even watch it. I have autographed pictures and merchandise all over my house. So to say me not watching Kenobi is huge, would be an understatement.
I'm sorry for you, but the fans are to blame. If they didn't said a peep about the prequels and left Lucas alone, Disney never would've get their gready claws on Star Wars in the first place!
@@erikbihari3625 I agree Lucas got criticized harshly about the prequels (which I enjoyed except for Jar Jar). Who knows if Lucas would have sold LF if he wasn't criticized the way he was. But Disney purposefully ruined SW and Geoerge would never think of doing that. So in perspective, his criticism was harsh. I just wonder if George would have ever done any more SW.
Also, I really liked the irony that when he was broken and not a Jedi himself, he wanted to train Luke, but once he got on the path of the force again he didn't anymore.
I like how now when you watch the OT, Obi-Wan’s decision to kill Vader instead of turn him makes zero sense, because Obi-Wan has now personally helped Reba come back from the Darkside. Yoda saying forever will haunt your destiny is a lie now. And both he and Obi-Wan know it. This series makes the surviving Jedi into massive liars.
@@phonepunk7888 except none of that is wrong or a lie now because this unfan fiction is garbage & has nothing to do with the OT. Those conclusions you reached are literally the exact ones they wanted you to & the purpose of all this, so don't give them the satisfaction.
This is why I have completely signed off from Disney Star Wars now. The final straw for me were the Sequels. It wasn't enough to simply just ruin Luke, Han and Leia and then kill them off, the Sequels had to tell us that basically everything they accomplished in the original films meant a total of jack shit and it was basically up to some bullshit Mary-Sue to fix everything they all failed to do. Even Anakin's redempation and sacfrice wasn't spared by resurrecting the guy he was built up to kill only for Rey to steal his victory from him too. As far I care now Star Wars ended in 2012 the second George sold everything off to that snake Iger and co. Everything Disney has been putting out with the Star Wars lable slapped on has as much to do with Lucas's Star Wars as Amazon's Rings of Woke has to do with J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth or everything Kurtzman has shat out with Star Trek has to do with the the universe that Gene Roddenberry envisioned.
@death-king1834 oh yea I agree on all of that Rey is a Mary Sue, kylo is a horrible villain with a childish rage, and crap blah blah blah ugh how much more messed up they have to do to this franchise because the star wars fans goes to crap.
You know the best part of all of this is that Kenobi has confirmed that it doesn’t care about the animated Star Wars content. Not only did they give Qui Gon a force ghost despite the Clone Wars stating that he couldn’t fully show himself because he didn’t complete the training, but they more or less stole that Vader unmasked scene from Rebels!
@@tealishpotato Lucasfilm got rid of LucasArt, one of the first things they did after the Disney take-over. Of course they KNOW how popular video games are, past & present. But they have zero interest in giving the paying customers what they are actually willing to pay for. They don't care if we see the copy-&-paste stuff or not, all they wanna do is please the woke morons on Twitter that doesn't even know what video games are.
No one was more excited for KENOBI than I was. The trailer made me believe that it was going to be a great character study into Ben’s grief, PTSD, and him finding himself back to his faith again after having lost it. Where we would delve into the dark time period and see what it was like to be living in an era where Jedi are hunted. Where we could see Ben really struggle with wanting to help others but can't because he has to stay hidden. Where he's lost all faith in the force and himself and has to find a way back to himself. Where we could see Vader in his prime and delve into what he was doing. How the years have treated him since he was put into the suit. How he dealt with the grief of losing Padme. How he's being struggling to be the perfect Sith Lord. There's an amazing comic of how Vader got his lightsaber that would have been OUTSTANDING to witness. It could have been something dark and real and special. There was so much they could have done. But unfortunately it barely did any of that.
the ptsd thing always gets me. yes, the worst event in the galaxy just happened to the jedi, but obi wan is a masterclass jedi with keen senses & honed temperament. yoda bears the same pain yet never lost his way with the force
The Kenobi book by JJM ("Legends" AKA the real canon made by people who actually care/know Star Wars) does a good job of this IMO. If they would've made the TV show entirely based off of the book and maybe added a little more action to it, the show would've been a solid 10. This steaming turd we got is not the Obi-Wan we came to know across the PT/OT.
Instead it centered around a whiney brat playing the legendary princess we all love. The whole new Obi Wan series shouldn't have even been done. The only good parts were Vader.
Obi-Wan left Anakin alive on Mustafar because he couldn’t deliver the killing blow, not because he didn’t want Anakin to die. He expected him to burn to death. The writers of this show apparently forgot that and made Obi-Wan spare Anakin again even though Anakin was not mortally wounded.
Right; fucker was chopped in half and ON FIRE--he could barely move. If anything, Kenobi was being surprisingly cruel by NOT mercy-killing Anakin, though I get the dramatic purpose. Do these writers think Jedi are not allowed to kill? Jango Fett would like a word with them.
@@BWMagus in his defense, Obi-Wan didn’t want to kill Anakin. He wanted to save him. He couldn’t bring himself to kill Anakin and he couldn’t save him either. That choice had consequences but it made sense since Obi-Wan rightfully assumed he was going to melt to death. The second time he does it is irredeemable.
It was pretty obvious from his face it's what he wanted to do but at the same time he knew all the Anakin had done with irredeemable, there's just too many things that could have been going with his head at the time wanting to kill him because of what he had become, wanting to kill him to put him out of his misery, even still wanting to save him, all the emotions flitting across his face in that moment and the show.... completely obliterated it without a care in the world, instead we get this idiot Grandpa with the same name as the character we know and love but lacking any similarity to any iteration of him, having to be led by the nose by a child and having completely forsaken the training and "religion" he'd stuck to his entire life, the Obi-Wan we know still even after everything was thought lost continued to fight with hope there were other survivors they could still warn and save inspite of how bleak a prospect before going into hiding, but what does he do? What do they have him do upon meeting another Jedi Survivor? They portray him as a coward, as some broken lump. you know what would make some semblance of sense? Is that instead they portrayed him with something we generally do not see in Obi-Wan that being anger, anger at being one of the last surviving Jedi, the fact that his entire order has been wiped out, anger at himself for not having seen this coming or having been able to save or stop Anakin in time, for having to be in hiding and for any of the Injustices he sees that there's nothing he can do about without drawing attention to himself, not that every situation should mean he draws attention to himself because we could still easily see him trying to do some good while in hiding, ya know because he's smart 🙄 and by the end of the journey he will have fully returned to the light and stopped his loss, anger and frustration pulling him over to the dark side with the help of his old master, but we don't want to portray any of that because that would be heroic and we don't want to show any of the anger because that would be toxic so instead we get this character in spite of the fact that he's a war hero, inspite of his years, his training, his diplomacy, his tenacity, his willpower, his intelligence, for the entirety of the show he is like a deer in headlights, or whatever the Star Wars equivalent is, it's absolutely f****** insulting.
My dad was, up until the last jedi, a massive star wars fan. I remember he used to at least once a month go on forums and check to see if there was any news of a potential obi wan series which was rumored to happen sometime. As you can imagine, he was very excited when Disney announced this show, yet also a bit skeptical since it was also Disney. Oh man, the disappointment on his face when he finished the entire show was so saddening
I’m 42 and I felt EXACTLY like your father. I feel his pain, he’s not alone. I felt like a kid again, so much anticipation and excitement for KENOBI, then to be COMPLETELY LET DOWN.
Many such cases, all old school fans (as long as they aren't soy consoomers like redditors) have long ago given their back to the series. Didn't even know Andor existed until it was already halfway through, and even though they say it's the best star wars series, can't bother myself to watch it
I was such the Star Wars fan too and used to love seeing memorabilia when out and about but now I get disgusted at the site of anything Star Wars in the stores. Same with Star Trek. Bad Robot and Disney really ruin everything they touch!
I had a talk with my sister who watched the show and liked it, and when I brought up why Obi Wan didn't kill Darth Vader, she said "maybe he didn't want to kill his friend." My answer: Yeah, that why he would spend years convincing that friend's son to unknowly kill their father.
That's the rub. Even when I saw Return of the Jedi back as a 13 year old, and Kenobi waves away his lie with, "Darth Vader did kill Anakin Skywalker...from a certain point of view," my little brain was going, "Uh, What?"
Besides he saw that he was no longer anakin and had become evil and "more man than machine". From a certain point of view, his friend was killed by vader, so that argument doesnt make sense
Maybe "didn't" wasn't the right word. Maybe he couldn't kill him. Perhaps he failed as a Jedi, let emotions interfere and the shame of this failure drove him off the path. And reason he trains Luke is because Obi Wan hopes he will be able to do what he couldn't, thereby giving him some measure of redemption. I'm fairly certain this would make an extreme amount off sense. Now I don't give two shits about Star Wars, old or new. I just wanted to illuminate the fact that most of you are not as clever as you think you are. So maybe ease up on the condescension.
"Kenobi went to Tattoine to protect Luke" "No, he went to Tattoine to sit in a cave, smelling of urine, and he gave up being a Jedi and didn't protect Luke."
It makes absolute sense after what happened to him and what his life was like. I’m sick of people bashing on this show so much for MAINLY (not all) dumb reasons. The transition into old Ben throughout the show was pretty good and his depression and PTSD makes absolute sense.
@@toffykoala32 it actually doesn't make sense, as Kenobi was clearly committed and knew the job he must do at the end of the last prequel. Kenobi would not become a pathetic failure at his duty.
One thing I always liked about the old canon was that jedi were very much mortal and their powers had limits. A skilled and seasoned non force fighter could still kill a jedi if they knew what they were doing. Now they can literally just cancel death apparently.
This. Hate how the Force is literally just God Hand powers now. Jedi were just enhanced mortals with greater sensitivity and control that only came with training and experience. Now it's just people rattling off the cliff notes and voila 'you're a Wizard, Rey.'
This series was Disney’s way of letting us know that they could find ways to tear down Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi just as much as Luke Skywalker. Bitter writers to the end.
idk if it is bitterness. seems more like ignorance towards the series they write for, instead opting to follow a textbook version of the crap they were taught about screenplays from a purple-hair instructor in their politically charged creative writing grad school classes
@@SexyFace 1. Reva being younger doesn't make sense either. Rey was born decades later. 2. Different races can have children together, and there still could be a chance 3. Different Areas in star wars? Are you serious? They can travel across the galaxy in seconds, that does nothing. 4. I was mentioning just one point, because the original comment is likely a joke (just like you). And yes her dad being a clone does seal the deal because he was a clone of Palpatine. And last I checked her mother in Episode 9 was white.
Take iconic heroes men grew up with and who are raising their children on, then destroy them. Ridicule them. Make them laughing stocks and try to kill them off. Replace them with feminist woke characters. And then act surprised and offended that the vast majority male audience roar in anger at the insult done to their childhood heroes.
I love these videos as much as the next guy but I start to feel frustrated wondering if they make them only for their sponsorship. It's fine to have a sponsorship if you're not monetized tho IG
Disney writers have the same problem a lot of horror movie writers have and that is writing characters that do things that most normal people wouldn't do. Rather than writing creative situations that make it impossible for characters to do the things that are logical to do, since, y'know, that actually takes talent and effort.
Exactly, Dying isnt all about bleeding out... if you get impaled in the heart with a saber, you wont have bleeding but you will have a giant hole in your heart
Disney doesn't wanna take it away, just use it for life support to a dieing franchise. That's their whole strategy from the sequel trilogy onwards, cater to fan demands and innovate nothing!
Vader is the quintessential Force of Nature villain. Now just a video game mini boss where you just have to dodge his slow telegraphed attacks and get behind him.
One of my favorite aspects of Obi-Wan as a character pre-Disney was that he almost failed out of the Academy and almost became a Peace Corp member, then Qui Gon finds him and takes him on, then he flourished as a jedi and became one of the best in the order. This series takes the failure aspect and turns it up to 11, eats it, spits it out, eats it again, then shits it out and called it a good story.
I read a comment where someone suggested that Anakin/Vader should have been a figment of Obi-Wan's imagination. A personification of his guilt and selfdoubt constantly taunting and berating him. That would have been a very interesting take. Unfortunately that also requires intelligent writing. Well, at least we have Andor.
Reva some how teleported all the way to Tatooine while Kenobi was still on his ship. Disney seems to think that Lightspeed is just teleportation but no, it's just going really fast and even then a trip can take hours if not a couple of days depending on where you are going.
I don't know why they had to rush foe this part of the story, have Kenobi return to Tatoonine and take up shelter again in his cave. Then show Reva struggling to survive, recuperate and eventually make her way there
"Never to be repaired." Robot I already wasn't particularly loving Star Wars but saying things like that just make me realise that Star Wars is the epitome of cinematic failure these last few years
As robot head said, these guys are just full on super beings now. Really this ObiWan didn't need Luke at all. He could have invaded the Deathstar all alone, kicked Vader's ass (again) and trashed the place with his telekinesis.
@@dragondrakage2402 I actually watched the series and liked it… But that’s my opinion. Just wondering why you like felt bashing your head during episode 3.
I still think the most stupid thing I've even seen in any show was when Obi Wan snuck Leia out of that base under the trenchcoat. Mushrooms must have been on the menu when they wrote that scene.
exactly. up until a new hope, luke has no ideas about the force, the clone wars, or much of anything occuring outside of the sand hut at all. this doesnt mean that outside forces werent trying to get to him. obi wan, being the master he his, would have been so good at protecting that luke never even noticed him doing it. over the course of 6 episodes, time is skipping, kenobi & luke are older in each one. he struggles with ideas of revealing himself to luke for fear of failing him like he failed anakin. until the iconic moment where luke loses consciousness in the desert & old ben appears.
It's amazing how little they care about the canon THEY THEMSELVES wanted to unify, don't get me wrong, the EU canon was also a mess. The only consistent media is Star Wars 1-6
you know... i think they are going to wait a couple of years, and do exactly that... with a more diverse cast of people of course... to resemble our modern society more... and this time they are not going to be fighting against a fascist empire, this time they are going to be fighting against the neo-liberal ruling cast of billionairs... o wait... have to rethink that... meh
Remake the original movies but make every man weak and stupid and every woman powerful and smart, wait we already had that last part, just do the first part then.
Technically the heat of a lightsaber combined with a body that contains 70% fluids would most likely make a person rapidly combust and explode on contact
I agree with everything except the "Goodbye Darth" bit. To me that feels like an acknowledgement that Anikin is gone, and only Vader remains. Which is what he seems to feel in the original trilogy, where he refers to him as Darth in their duel.
Why would Obi-wan use a Sith honorific title ? In ANH he refers to him as Vader, like everyone else. To me it sounded like an idiotic writer thought it was his new first name. Which would be very awkward in a conversation between Darth Sidious, Darth Maul, Darth Tyranus and Darth Vader. Maybe that's why they introduced the rule of 2...
@@lansfriszt7767 "The circle is complete, when I left you I was but the learner, now I am the master" - Vader. "Only a master of evil, Darth" - Obi. From A New Hope. I do think the writers are bad, I am just saying that one line made sense to me, really nothing else.
I have been a star wars fan since I was a toddler but I could not get through Kenobi even a little. Watching your reviews is far more entertaining than anything Disney can make now.
When Darth Bane gathered all of the Sith in a circle to perform a ritual and said "are you ready to kill a planet?", then proceeded to channel their combined strength and KILL a planet by striking it with force lightning and burning the entire surface to bring out the Jedi, that was badass and believable. When the Jedi and Sith of the Old Republic could sway an entire space battle by meditating on their command ships, channeling the Force to their pilots, that was badass and believable. Why? Because even the Jedi of the Republic days admitted they were nowhere near as connected to the Force as the people in the Old days were. Yoda could barely stop some rocks falling on his head. But old Ben and Vader can just throw boulders around like nothing. It is goofy af, and completely disconnected from what Lucas and other authors set in motion regarding the rules of the Force
Good to see a EU fan showcasing how beautiful it used to be....Naga Sadow or Odan-Urr swaying the outcome of battle by merely meditating or using psychological warfare is a great example of how truly great the Force is, not just telekinesis and lightning.
The 'Kennedy Effect' really did a number on Lucas's legacy characters. They really need to be treated the way they deserve instead of the deliberate sabotage job that's been done on them all these years (through Favreau and Filoni are working on that. Unfortunately the franchise arsonist is still running around with her flamethrower. Apparently a certain Mr Jones and even Yoda are on her list (I hope that's just a rumour - unfortunately I've been a bit too optimistic in the past where Kennedy was concerned. I tend to expect the worst now))..
new energy, such excitement, much variety is the new mantra that every one of these writers who are behind the many failed shows in recent times seem to utter.
they dropped the ball on this series so badly, im not even a big star wars fan but I can see how badly they are butchering this universe. It started with the force awakens and now watching Obi Wan grown ass men can't even catch a child who is less than 10 feet from them, then they get outrun by said child, and run into tree branches like comedic clowns.
Recently came across your channel, and I love your irreverent sense of humour and the quality of your videos. Lines like “how do you judge a piece of corn in a turd?” With a jump cut to James Cordon 😂 Top drawer content, keep it coming
I love how they stole Asoka's moment with Anakin/Vader ... The scene where Obi-Wan splits Vader's mask and we see the humanity of Anakin was done in Star Wars: Rebels with Asoka confronting Vader and realizing that Vader was Anakin ...
Glad to know i'm not the only one who thinks this serie is stupid. They messed up one of the most brilliant characters ever written... and they just walk away saying proudly that this Obi Wan is the same as the one whe met in episode 4 and the prequel trilogy. It's a shame. Thank you for your work, Robot Head, I'm such a big fan and your videos are truly the best. Keep up the good work! By the way, sorry for mi bad english
I want to note that _Kenobi_ ripped off _Rebels_ with slashing Vader’s mask. It’s just that Ahsoka (Anakin’s Jedi apprentice of 2 years in _The Clone Wars)_ sliced the *right* side.
Only Rebels ? They ripped off Jedi Fallen Order as well, Reva is essentially a worse version of Trilla, and the 4th episode is a straight up rip-off of the game's final level.
all they had to do with this series was show how Obi Wan kept Luke safe over the years. 6 episodes of him dealing with random threats. it could have been anything but the writers did the dumbest things possible. one episode could have been the sand people threatening Luke and his family. it would have explained why they were so scared of Obi Wan at the start of a New Hope. it's really not that difficult!!
They could have made it so much better, obi wan stops fighting Vader because he gets notified that Reva is after Luke. So he spares Vader to safe Luke. Then he kills Reva last second to safe Luke and regains confidence. Really good story
What's even worse is that in this very Canon already Obi-Wan has shown that he will kill threats to Luke to ensure they can never become one, or become a risk of them trying to turn him to the dark side or get interrogated by Vader. When Luke is on the line Obi-Wan does not mess around he is quite cold actually with dealing with them. Oh and in Star Wars Legends as well both funny enough with Darth Maul being that character used as the example. Both times they found Obi-Wan and Luke and both times they were eliminated by Obi-Wan. In written correctly Reva and Vader would be both dead, Reva for being a threat and knowing too much and Vader because he is a Monster with no redemption in Obi-Wan's eyes. But I guess what can we Expect from the House of Rat nipping away on the corpse of a once grand franchise.
yes, distance really is a thing of the past, in Rogue One they went from deciding to leave Yavin4 to arriving at Scariff in less than 4 minutes, and that included taking off from the ground.
Can't wait when they make a show about young Palpatine 😊😊😊 You didn't even need to mention the Palpatine cameo part of the show cus it was the only few good thing that came out of it 😂
Maybe he'll be a diabolical baby who can manipulate people and throw force lightning exactly like his older self!(remember when fans hated that anakin skywalker was completely diffrent from Darth Vader?)
Also its funy how Reva turned back from dark side so easy when almost nobody turned from dark side maybe except anakin but he was dying and was an embodiment of the force, his death and redemption meant an another piece of the force.... reva just switches sides like basketball players. darth maul turned to "light" after years and 2 decapitations
Maul was evil till the end. He just came to finally find closure with Obi Wan and sort of empathised with him in his last moments. Doesn't mean he turned to the light side.
@reaper Should be pretty obvious I watched Rebels, and so I'm aware that Ezra's gullible arse falls for Maul's trickery. What does this have to do with Maul's last moments, and how he meets his end? How is anything I said being contested? Maul is *literally a dark side user.*
"Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those who transform into the force. Mourn them do not, miss them do not..... Unless, well, unless there's some kind of force bullshittery I know of not" - Master Yoda
The fan edit of Kenobi was actually really good. If they do a second season, I’d want a fairly chill story about Kenobi finding more balance within the Force as guided by Jinn. Even learning to communicate with Yoda would be fun. I think, too, that it would be the perfect way to introduce a live-action Ezra. My script for season 2: Kenobi has a vision of Maul killing him. Jinn guides him to let go of any hate he has towards Maul and he explains the will of the Force in a way that helps him to understand death in a new way. Meanwhile, Maul is seen looking for Kenobi via his methods as seen in Rebels. Eventually, “years later”, a live-action Ezra meets an older Ben, and the events of Rebels occur with the addition of Kenobi seeing the reason for losing to Maul from his visions; hence why he changed stances and ultimately defeats Maul with no hatred in his heart, but instead being the need to protect Luke. The series ends with Ben cremating Maul and the show recreating Ben seeing a teen Luke being called in by Beru. Any “action” shown throughout are internal meditations of Ben training for his showdown with Maul being taught by Yoda and Qui-Gon.
Also, most of your complaints I think from a lack of understanding that Star Wars, in spite of its name, is about internal balance. Everything is a metaphor for spiritual balance. Yes, the show made some mistakes, but again, the fan-edit made it a worthwhile movie.
As a kid who grew up with star wars and had watched the first six movies before I’d turned 5. I’m now 19 and I still have star wars Lego in the attic and I still have posters on the wall. I have figurines on my shelf back home. I have grown the hate the ring I once loved. And they only people I can blame is Disney. They have mad me hate something I love soo much. And tbh it’s I’m angry about it
1:40 The healing hands have been a thing that fans have recognized through video games, novels, and comics. In particular Knights of the Old Republic comes to mind. But, the lethality of a lightsaber is something that Disney altered, and it's gross, and is something that doesn't slot in. From here on out, we know if someone encounters a lightsaber, they will make it out okay. It might as well be a taser.
There's been so much bad Star Wars that there isn't even an OT anymore. There's just Star Wars (1977). Who knew that making Darth Vader into Luke's father would make such a messed up franchise?
Yep. After Lucas took over rewriting the script for Empire is when he started watering down the story, combining separate characters. shortening timelines and just in general beginning the process of shrinking his previously larger original concept for the saga, something he continued with in Return.
Owen: what do you want? Reva: Justice. I've been prevented from torturing a child, so in order to avenge the dead padawans, I'm gonna need to slay a child.
Disney making a show about beloved characters: Eh, it doesn't really matter Disney making show about an obscure character who nobody cares about: *We can't mess this one up!*
The content of this episode is what I feared the most from the series, where Reva was going to have the opportunity to kill Luke and/or Leia and/or Kenobi, and *she* is the one decides that the events of the original trilogy get to happen by choosing not to. I was committed to this prediction weeks before it happened and everyone was giving me shit for preemptively hating Reva, as if that development wasn't obvious from the start.
So Obi Wan defeated Vader…again…and didn’t kill him this time knowing he would go on to kill countless others. I thought Lightspeed Kamikazes broke Star Wars, this is far worse, and far more deliberate. It’s the ultimate middle finger.
"A story where the story is already laid out, and still they couldn't get it right." That is the best line that sums up honestly the problems with the prequels too. A lot of these problems come from the decisions that were made back in the day. The history and connections of characters were way different in my mind when all we had was the OT. Owen was actually Luke's uncle, and vader was really his brother who ran off to join the army and got caught up in something, and obiwan was never on Tatooine to protect Luke, he was just there and happened to have their stories intersect through a chance encounter with a couple of droids. I like that better than everything being so laid out and purposely being connected.
You’re the only creator that mentioned the obi wan archive connection. The fact everybody forgets they know and Vader is obsessed with obi wan is insane to me
Disney could pay the top ten RUclips Star Wars content providers a yearly salary of 100k to provide consultation on the scripts. It would save the franchise and produce billions in revenue but for some reason they reject the fans. We're talking billions so they also reject profits. It's truly mind boggling.

This is why I have completely signed off from Disney Star Wars now. The final straw for me were the Sequels. It wasn't enough to simply just ruin Luke, Han and Leia and then kill them off, the Sequels had to tell us that basically everything they accomplished in the original films meant a total of jack shit and it was basically up to some bullshit Mary-Sue to fix everything they all failed to do. Even Anakin's redempation and sacfrice wasn't spared by resurrecting the guy he was built up to kill only for Rey to steal his victory from him too. As far I care now Star Wars ended in 2012 the second George sold everything off to that snake Iger and co. Everything Disney has been putting out with the Star Wars lable slapped on has as much to do with Lucas's Star Wars as Amazon's Rings of Woke has to do with J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth or everything Kurtzman has shat out with Star Trek has to do with the the universe that Gene Roddenberry envisioned.
@death-king1834 oh yea I agree on all of that Rey is a Mary Sue, kylo is a horrible villain with a childish rage, and crap blah blah blah ugh how much more messed up they have to do to this franchise because the star wars fans goes to crap.
You know the best part of all of this is that Kenobi has confirmed that it doesn’t care about the animated Star Wars content. Not only did they give Qui Gon a force ghost despite the Clone Wars stating that he couldn’t fully show himself because he didn’t complete the training, but they more or less stole that Vader unmasked scene from Rebels!
The animated stuff is so good. Way better than the movies. A shame we can't have nice things anymore.

No one was more excited for KENOBI than I was. The trailer made me believe that it was going to be a great character study into Ben’s grief, PTSD, and him finding himself back to his faith again after having lost it. Where we would delve into the dark time period and see what it was like to be living in an era where Jedi are hunted. Where we could see Ben really struggle with wanting to help others but can't because he has to stay hidden. Where he's lost all faith in the force and himself and has to find a way back to himself.
Where we could see Vader in his prime and delve into what he was doing. How the years have treated him since he was put into the suit. How he dealt with the grief of losing Padme. How he's being struggling to be the perfect Sith Lord. There's an amazing comic of how Vader got his lightsaber that would have been OUTSTANDING to witness.
It could have been something dark and real and special. There was so much they could have done.
But unfortunately it barely did any of that.
If it had been handled with the same care and skill as Andor was, yes, it could have been a great show.
the ptsd thing always gets me. yes, the worst event in the galaxy just happened to the jedi, but obi wan is a masterclass jedi with keen senses & honed temperament. yoda bears the same pain yet never lost his way with the force
The Kenobi book by JJM ("Legends" AKA the real canon made by people who actually care/know Star Wars) does a good job of this IMO. If they would've made the TV show entirely based off of the book and maybe added a little more action to it, the show would've been a solid 10. This steaming turd we got is not the Obi-Wan we came to know across the PT/OT.
Instead it centered around a whiney brat playing the legendary princess we all love. The whole new Obi Wan series shouldn't have even been done. The only good parts were Vader.
@@theitechlab hahahahaha. Go back to your mothers basement. hahahahaha
Obi-Wan left Anakin alive on Mustafar because he couldn’t deliver the killing blow, not because he didn’t want Anakin to die. He expected him to burn to death. The writers of this show apparently forgot that and made Obi-Wan spare Anakin again even though Anakin was not mortally wounded.
Right; fucker was chopped in half and ON FIRE--he could barely move. If anything, Kenobi was being surprisingly cruel by NOT mercy-killing Anakin, though I get the dramatic purpose. Do these writers think Jedi are not allowed to kill? Jango Fett would like a word with them.
@@BWMagus in his defense, Obi-Wan didn’t want to kill Anakin. He wanted to save him. He couldn’t bring himself to kill Anakin and he couldn’t save him either. That choice had consequences but it made sense since Obi-Wan rightfully assumed he was going to melt to death. The second time he does it is irredeemable.
@@BWMagus I mean yes they aren’t against people who can’t defend themselves
It would of been merciful to kill Vader on Mustafar and Obi-wan wasn't feeling merciful.
It was pretty obvious from his face it's what he wanted to do but at the same time he knew all the Anakin had done with irredeemable, there's just too many things that could have been going with his head at the time wanting to kill him because of what he had become, wanting to kill him to put him out of his misery, even still wanting to save him, all the emotions flitting across his face in that moment and the show.... completely obliterated it without a care in the world, instead we get this idiot Grandpa with the same name as the character we know and love but lacking any similarity to any iteration of him, having to be led by the nose by a child and having completely forsaken the training and "religion" he'd stuck to his entire life, the Obi-Wan we know still even after everything was thought lost continued to fight with hope there were other survivors they could still warn and save inspite of how bleak a prospect before going into hiding, but what does he do? What do they have him do upon meeting another Jedi Survivor? They portray him as a coward, as some broken lump. you know what would make some semblance of sense? Is that instead they portrayed him with something we generally do not see in Obi-Wan that being anger, anger at being one of the last surviving Jedi, the fact that his entire order has been wiped out, anger at himself for not having seen this coming or having been able to save or stop Anakin in time, for having to be in hiding and for any of the Injustices he sees that there's nothing he can do about without drawing attention to himself, not that every situation should mean he draws attention to himself because we could still easily see him trying to do some good while in hiding, ya know because he's smart 🙄 and by the end of the journey he will have fully returned to the light and stopped his loss, anger and frustration pulling him over to the dark side with the help of his old master, but we don't want to portray any of that because that would be heroic and we don't want to show any of the anger because that would be toxic so instead we get this character in spite of the fact that he's a war hero, inspite of his years, his training, his diplomacy, his tenacity, his willpower, his intelligence, for the entirety of the show he is like a deer in headlights, or whatever the Star Wars equivalent is, it's absolutely f****** insulting.

My dad was, up until the last jedi, a massive star wars fan. I remember he used to at least once a month go on forums and check to see if there was any news of a potential obi wan series which was rumored to happen sometime.
As you can imagine, he was very excited when Disney announced this show, yet also a bit skeptical since it was also Disney. Oh man, the disappointment on his face when he finished the entire show was so saddening
yeah, that's exactly what they want.
I’m 42 and I felt EXACTLY like your father. I feel his pain, he’s not alone. I felt like a kid again, so much anticipation and excitement for KENOBI, then to be COMPLETELY LET DOWN.
Many such cases, all old school fans (as long as they aren't soy consoomers like redditors) have long ago given their back to the series. Didn't even know Andor existed until it was already halfway through, and even though they say it's the best star wars series, can't bother myself to watch it
I was such the Star Wars fan too and used to love seeing memorabilia when out and about but now I get disgusted at the site of anything Star Wars in the stores. Same with Star Trek. Bad Robot and Disney really ruin everything they touch!
Damn this is sad and I felt the same. Only advantage I had was, my expectations were low.
I had a talk with my sister who watched the show and liked it, and when I brought up why Obi Wan didn't kill Darth Vader, she said "maybe he didn't want to kill his friend."
My answer: Yeah, that why he would spend years convincing that friend's son to unknowly kill their father.
Is that why he left him to die, on fire, after cutting off his legs and arm?
Like Vito said, now we can show people true Star Wars!
That's the rub. Even when I saw Return of the Jedi back as a 13 year old, and Kenobi waves away his lie with, "Darth Vader did kill Anakin Skywalker...from a certain point of view," my little brain was going, "Uh, What?"
Besides he saw that he was no longer anakin and had become evil and "more man than machine". From a certain point of view, his friend was killed by vader, so that argument doesnt make sense
Maybe "didn't" wasn't the right word. Maybe he couldn't kill him. Perhaps he failed as a Jedi, let emotions interfere and the shame of this failure drove him off the path. And reason he trains Luke is because Obi Wan hopes he will be able to do what he couldn't, thereby giving him some measure of redemption. I'm fairly certain this would make an extreme amount off sense. Now I don't give two shits about Star Wars, old or new. I just wanted to illuminate the fact that most of you are not as clever as you think you are. So maybe ease up on the condescension.
"Kenobi went to Tattoine to protect Luke"
"No, he went to Tattoine to sit in a cave, smelling of urine, and he gave up being a Jedi and didn't protect Luke."

@@toffykoala32 it actually doesn't make sense, as Kenobi was clearly committed and knew the job he must do at the end of the last prequel. Kenobi would not become a pathetic failure at his duty.

One thing I always liked about the old canon was that jedi were very much mortal and their powers had limits. A skilled and seasoned non force fighter could still kill a jedi if they knew what they were doing. Now they can literally just cancel death apparently.
they go on twitter and call death racist and transphobic and BOOM, just like that, they are immortal
This. Hate how the Force is literally just God Hand powers now. Jedi were just enhanced mortals with greater sensitivity and control that only came with training and experience. Now it's just people rattling off the cliff notes and voila 'you're a Wizard, Rey.'

Disney writers have the same problem a lot of horror movie writers have and that is writing characters that do things that most normal people wouldn't do. Rather than writing creative situations that make it impossible for characters to do the things that are logical to do, since, y'know, that actually takes talent and effort.
I call this the “dumb bitch syndrome” when It comes to lazy writing
Exactly, Dying isnt all about bleeding out... if you get impaled in the heart with a saber, you wont have bleeding but you will have a giant hole in your heart
Another Robot Head video! - Cheers. I will always have my childhood memories of Obi Wan. Disney can never take that away from me.
Disney doesn't wanna take it away, just use it for life support to a dieing franchise. That's their whole strategy from the sequel trilogy onwards, cater to fan demands and innovate nothing!
Vader is the quintessential Force of Nature villain. Now just a video game mini boss where you just have to dodge his slow telegraphed attacks and get behind him.
One of my favorite aspects of Obi-Wan as a character pre-Disney was that he almost failed out of the Academy and almost became a Peace Corp member, then Qui Gon finds him and takes him on, then he flourished as a jedi and became one of the best in the order. This series takes the failure aspect and turns it up to 11, eats it, spits it out, eats it again, then shits it out and called it a good story.
I read a comment where someone suggested that Anakin/Vader should have been a figment of Obi-Wan's imagination. A personification of his guilt and selfdoubt constantly taunting and berating him. That would have been a very interesting take. Unfortunately that also requires intelligent writing.
Well, at least we have Andor.

I still think the most stupid thing I've even seen in any show was when Obi Wan snuck Leia out of that base under the trenchcoat. Mushrooms must have been on the menu when they wrote that scene.
I'm imagining a Kiwi studio exec is the reason for all of this:
He asked for better writers, and they all heard that he wanted _bitter_ writers
How was Obi supposedly looking over Luke & protecting him when he hadn’t used the force or trained in years (his state at the beginning of the show)?
And has his sabers buried in the desert ages away. No chance if he was attacked. terrible writing
exactly. up until a new hope, luke has no ideas about the force, the clone wars, or much of anything occuring outside of the sand hut at all. this doesnt mean that outside forces werent trying to get to him. obi wan, being the master he his, would have been so good at protecting that luke never even noticed him doing it. over the course of 6 episodes, time is skipping, kenobi & luke are older in each one. he struggles with ideas of revealing himself to luke for fear of failing him like he failed anakin. until the iconic moment where luke loses consciousness in the desert & old ben appears.
“……the day after she learned the force was a real thing” 😂😂
And even that interesting idea of breaking Vader's helmet was ripped off from Star Wars Rebels...
It's amazing how little they care about the canon THEY THEMSELVES wanted to unify, don't get me wrong, the EU canon was also a mess. The only consistent media is Star Wars 1-6
8:40 The funniest part about this is they didn't even come up with this themselves. It was ripped pretty much exactly from rebels.
Disney's next move: Remake the original Star Wars
They already did, that's the sequel trilogy.
you know... i think they are going to wait a couple of years, and do exactly that... with a more diverse cast of people of course... to resemble our modern society more... and this time they are not going to be fighting against a fascist empire, this time they are going to be fighting against the neo-liberal ruling cast of billionairs... o wait... have to rethink that... meh

I have been a star wars fan since I was a toddler but I could not get through Kenobi even a little. Watching your reviews is far more entertaining than anything Disney can make now.
for real, RH shitting on all of this b-list worthy media is the one of best products of disney star wars yet
When Darth Bane gathered all of the Sith in a circle to perform a ritual and said "are you ready to kill a planet?", then proceeded to channel their combined strength and KILL a planet by striking it with force lightning and burning the entire surface to bring out the Jedi, that was badass and believable.
When the Jedi and Sith of the Old Republic could sway an entire space battle by meditating on their command ships, channeling the Force to their pilots, that was badass and believable. Why? Because even the Jedi of the Republic days admitted they were nowhere near as connected to the Force as the people in the Old days were. Yoda could barely stop some rocks falling on his head. But old Ben and Vader can just throw boulders around like nothing. It is goofy af, and completely disconnected from what Lucas and other authors set in motion regarding the rules of the Force
Good to see a EU fan showcasing how beautiful it used to be....Naga Sadow or Odan-Urr swaying the outcome of battle by merely meditating or using psychological warfare is a great example of how truly great the Force is, not just telekinesis and lightning.
It’s funny because that’s the part from the series that always remember
I prefer the Larry Kenobi show from The Auralnauts…he’s the best dancer around and the story made sense 😂
The visual joke with Amy Schumer as the colostomy bag was underrated subtle humor
The 'Kennedy Effect' really did a number on Lucas's legacy characters.
They really need to be treated the way they deserve instead of the deliberate sabotage job that's been done on them all these years (through Favreau and Filoni are working on that. Unfortunately the franchise arsonist is still running around with her flamethrower. Apparently a certain Mr Jones and even Yoda are on her list (I hope that's just a rumour - unfortunately I've been a bit too optimistic in the past where Kennedy was concerned.

they dropped the ball on this series so badly, im not even a big star wars fan but I can see how badly they are butchering this universe. It started with the force awakens and now watching Obi Wan grown ass men can't even catch a child who is less than 10 feet from them, then they get outrun by said child, and run into tree branches like comedic clowns.

I mean the prequels basically destroyed Boba Fetts character but people don’t remember that.
Glad to know i'm not the only one who thinks this serie is stupid. They messed up one of the most brilliant characters ever written... and they just walk away saying proudly that this Obi Wan is the same as the one whe met in episode 4 and the prequel trilogy. It's a shame.
Thank you for your work, Robot Head, I'm such a big fan and your videos are truly the best. Keep up the good work!
By the way, sorry for mi bad english
I want to note that _Kenobi_ ripped off _Rebels_ with slashing Vader’s mask. It’s just that Ahsoka (Anakin’s Jedi apprentice of 2 years in _The Clone Wars)_ sliced the *right* side.
Only Rebels ? They ripped off Jedi Fallen Order as well, Reva is essentially a worse version of Trilla, and the 4th episode is a straight up rip-off of the game's final level.
The slashing of Vader's mask wasn't even their idea. They stole it from Filoni's show, Star Wars Rebels. Even their good ideas aren't even theirs.
I wonder how things would look today had Star Wars not ended in 1983.
all they had to do with this series was show how Obi Wan kept Luke safe over the years. 6 episodes of him dealing with random threats. it could have been anything but the writers did the dumbest things possible. one episode could have been the sand people threatening Luke and his family. it would have explained why they were so scared of Obi Wan at the start of a New Hope. it's really not that difficult!!
They could have made it so much better, obi wan stops fighting Vader because he gets notified that Reva is after Luke. So he spares Vader to safe Luke. Then he kills Reva last second to safe Luke and regains confidence. Really good story
Just going to hang out down here until I stop crying from that opening scene 😂😂
What's even worse is that in this very Canon already Obi-Wan has shown that he will kill threats to Luke to ensure they can never become one, or become a risk of them trying to turn him to the dark side or get interrogated by Vader. When Luke is on the line Obi-Wan does not mess around he is quite cold actually with dealing with them. Oh and in Star Wars Legends as well both funny enough with Darth Maul being that character used as the example. Both times they found Obi-Wan and Luke and both times they were eliminated by Obi-Wan. In written correctly Reva and Vader would be both dead, Reva for being a threat and knowing too much and Vader because he is a Monster with no redemption in Obi-Wan's eyes.
But I guess what can we Expect from the House of Rat nipping away on the corpse of a once grand franchise.

"Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those who transform into the force. Mourn them do not, miss them do not..... Unless, well, unless there's some kind of force bullshittery I know of not" - Master Yoda
The fan edit of Kenobi was actually really good. If they do a second season, I’d want a fairly chill story about Kenobi finding more balance within the Force as guided by Jinn. Even learning to communicate with Yoda would be fun.
I think, too, that it would be the perfect way to introduce a live-action Ezra.
My script for season 2:
Kenobi has a vision of Maul killing him. Jinn guides him to let go of any hate he has towards Maul and he explains the will of the Force in a way that helps him to understand death in a new way.
Meanwhile, Maul is seen looking for Kenobi via his methods as seen in Rebels.
Eventually, “years later”, a live-action Ezra meets an older Ben, and the events of Rebels occur with the addition of Kenobi seeing the reason for losing to Maul from his visions; hence why he changed stances and ultimately defeats Maul with no hatred in his heart, but instead being the need to protect Luke.
The series ends with Ben cremating Maul and the show recreating Ben seeing a teen Luke being called in by Beru.
Any “action” shown throughout are internal meditations of Ben training for his showdown with Maul being taught by Yoda and Qui-Gon.
Also, most of your complaints I think from a lack of understanding that Star Wars, in spite of its name, is about internal balance. Everything is a metaphor for spiritual balance.
Yes, the show made some mistakes, but again, the fan-edit made it a worthwhile movie.
Vader used to step on the emptied cloak of his victims now he says fuck it and walks away
As a kid who grew up with star wars and had watched the first six movies before I’d turned 5. I’m now 19 and I still have star wars Lego in the attic and I still have posters on the wall. I have figurines on my shelf back home. I have grown the hate the ring I once loved. And they only people I can blame is Disney. They have mad me hate something I love soo much. And tbh it’s I’m angry about it
Dude the lead writer of Obi wan show is making a live action show of My Hero Academia for Netflix that shits going to crash and burn
1:40 The healing hands have been a thing that fans have recognized through video games, novels, and comics. In particular Knights of the Old Republic comes to mind. But, the lethality of a lightsaber is something that Disney altered, and it's gross, and is something that doesn't slot in. From here on out, we know if someone encounters a lightsaber, they will make it out okay. It might as well be a taser.
There's been so much bad Star Wars that there isn't even an OT anymore. There's just Star Wars (1977).
Who knew that making Darth Vader into Luke's father would make such a messed up franchise?
Yep. After Lucas took over rewriting the script for Empire is when he started watering down the story, combining separate characters. shortening timelines and just in general beginning the process of shrinking his previously larger original concept for the saga, something he continued with in Return.
Your insight is spot on every time! Disney had hired the worst writers in the galaxy!
Owen: what do you want?
Reva: Justice. I've been prevented from torturing a child, so in order to avenge the dead padawans, I'm gonna need to slay a child.
Thank the maker for your knowledge and Logic 🤘🏽
Agreed, brother!
I burst out laUGHING WHEN SHE SAID "QUAILITY" lol HAHAHAHA
You finally endured the whole thing lol
Disney making a show about beloved characters: Eh, it doesn't really matter
Disney making show about an obscure character who nobody cares about: *We can't mess this one up!*
yet somehow they did mess it up
😂
The content of this episode is what I feared the most from the series, where Reva was going to have the opportunity to kill Luke and/or Leia and/or Kenobi, and *she* is the one decides that the events of the original trilogy get to happen by choosing not to. I was committed to this prediction weeks before it happened and everyone was giving me shit for preemptively hating Reva, as if that development wasn't obvious from the start.
Omg! Amy Schumer associated with a colostomy bag is the best thing in comedy that I've seen in a long while
So Obi Wan defeated Vader…again…and didn’t kill him this time knowing he would go on to kill countless others. I thought Lightspeed Kamikazes broke Star Wars, this is far worse, and far more deliberate. It’s the ultimate middle finger.
Kennedy trying to say quality…and cracking up…is the review of this show
"A story where the story is already laid out, and still they couldn't get it right."
That is the best line that sums up honestly the problems with the prequels too. A lot of these problems come from the decisions that were made back in the day. The history and connections of characters were way different in my mind when all we had was the OT. Owen was actually Luke's uncle, and vader was really his brother who ran off to join the army and got caught up in something, and obiwan was never on Tatooine to protect Luke, he was just there and happened to have their stories intersect through a chance encounter with a couple of droids. I like that better than everything being so laid out and purposely being connected.
Yet another superb take. Priceless stuff.
YOU'RE THE BESTEST AT THIS!!! I Love you Robot Head!!!
disney cant help but try to ruin everything at this point
ah perfect, now I can sleep easy knowing this is the origin story of 'Darth' as a nickname.
The only problem I have with robot head is that he doesn't release more videos the guy's hilarious, 🤣
You’re the only creator that mentioned the obi wan archive connection. The fact everybody forgets they know and Vader is obsessed with obi wan is insane to me
The entire point of KK's Star Wars is to degrade the legacy characters, especially the white, hetero males.
Disney could pay the top ten RUclips Star Wars content providers a yearly salary of 100k to provide consultation on the scripts. It would save the franchise and produce billions in revenue but for some reason they reject the fans. We're talking billions so they also reject profits. It's truly mind boggling.
Agreed, but yea, do Andor again. I agree it started super slow, but it really blossomed later. I can understand your early reaction to it, you weren't wrong
Blossomed into a dull boring show with an uninteresting lead, yeah
@@rennmaxbeta wow, ok. Sorry, that wasn't my perception. I thought it expanded on the unbearable evil ways of the empire that brought on the rebelion, with an amazing cast of characters, apart from that one droid that was annoying AF
The fight choreography where they hold hands 🤣🤣😂🤣
