Obi Wan Kenobi Star Wars movies are in
early stage development:

"As flawed as the Star Wars prequel trilogy were, one of the main bright areas was Ewan
McGregor as Obi Wan Kenobi. Now an Ewan McGregor Obi Wan Kenobi Star Wars spinoff
movie is moving ahead. It will likely be a trilogy of movies. They would likely be set
between the prequels and a New Hope."

"Lucasfilm is also considering movies centering on Yoda and bounty hunter Boba Fett,
among other characters."

Ugh. They're using the Inquisitors concept...

MeoTwister5 · 2022-03-10, 20:42

I personally like the concept of the Inquisitorius. What I don't lile is how they're canonically a bunch of chumps.

Ithekro · 2022-03-31, 14:26

Premier date shifted to May the 27th but will be the first two episodes.

MeoTwister5 · 2022-05-27, 05:35

First 2 episodes dropped today. I absolutely loved it. Ewan McGregor transitioning to an old, jaded and near hopeless version of Kenobi was phenomenal.

Kanon · 2022-05-27, 17:09

I was surprised Obi-wan had gotten this rusty after 10 years. He was almost beaten by two chumps and it took him tremendous effort to lift a ten year old girl. He's got some training to do.

I'm only familiar with the Inquisitors through Jedi Fallen Order. Do we know if that game is supposed to be canon?

MeoTwister5 · 2022-05-27, 17:45

Fallen Order is canon.

stray · 2022-05-27, 17:57

Inquisitors were introduced in Rebels I think.

And the sequel was revealed today. The Grand Inquisitor's design is a bit different from the one in Obi-Wan. And it's going to be hard to see that guy as a threat given how easily he was taken out, even if it was by surprise.

It'd be nice to see some cross-overs between the series and the game, since they take place around the same time period.

That's probably a fake out considering he was introduced in Rebels 5 years or so years in the future. There's going to be some interesting retcons if not...

I'm not sure what to expect as far as game canon but there might be easter eggs. Sadly all the previous games are non canon.

I really like what we've seen so far the first couple of episodes. Not sure if young Leia is going to be as popular as Grogu (or Anya) but so far I like the direction they're going.

White Manju Bun · 2022-05-29, 19:41

I loved the first two episodes! Seeing Obi-Wan's daily life stay basically the same for the 10 years he's been there was just heartbreaking. He feels so guilty and just wants to keep Luke safe. Also the hinting at Qui-Gon, please Star Wars give me force ghost Qui-Gon I've waited 20+ years!!!

Excited to see where this goes from here.

MeoTwister5 · 2022-06-02, 05:20

Episode 3 is one shocking episode, particularly considering that Disney+ apparently had no qualms at this level of... cruelty on screen.

Spoiler for Spoilers:

Ithekro · 2022-06-02, 11:19

A reminder to the audience of just how twisted and evil Darth Vader is. A possibly why Obi-wan had that opinion, yet in the OT films, we never really saw Vader at this level. Well, at least when it wasn't against a clear Rebel soldier.

Kanon · 2022-06-02, 18:17

I wasn't too surprised or shocked, but it's true we never saw him being that evil before, mainly because he never had any interaction with the populace.

MeoTwister5 · 2022-06-03, 01:58

Well after seeing what Vader did to those people in the village I think it should be pretty obvious why people empty their bowels and bladders in absolute terror at the sight of him. For how cruel the Inquisitors can be, you can still see them flinching at what Vader was doing.

Ithekro · 2022-06-03, 03:49

That Leia not only stands up to him, but also can block his interrogation nine years later is triply impressive given she pretty much knows what he can do.

Magin · 2022-06-04, 21:41

So reading the spoilers here... genuine question:

How is this going to end up being any different than Rogue One? One of the central themes of Star Wars is that there's always "hope", but considering the events of Rogue One and ANH... is this series just going to be about Obi-Wan watching as the Empire takes over the galaxy? If so... boy, talk about a blatant cash-grab.

Well the biggest thing people are expecting is seeing how he transforms from a hopeless and downtrodden former Jedi to the hopeful old master that finally defeats Maul in 3 strikes, and the master to Luke who willingly surrenders his life to the Force, all in the next 10 years.

This is Obi-Wan's story and not exactly "Star Wars" as a whole. This will apparently attempt to bridge that. Ovi-Wan eventually and doesn't exactly watch as the Empire grows in power, because at some point he will eventually realize that only Luke can stop the Empire, and his purpose is to guide him, because it's not within his ability to face the Empire right now.

And of course to put into context why everyone's terrified of Vader, because much of his notoriety had always been off screen. Rogue One was probably the first to really show what Vader could do, discounting the comics and novels.

Spoiler for Spoilers: Vader fucking force snaps a kids neck (you can hear the sound!) and chokes the life out of the kids father right in front of the mother, all the while force choking and dragging a poor woman along the sand as he hunts for Obi-Wan. Then when he does catch him it's not even a contest as he clearly overpowers and brutalizes Obi-Wan who can barely even fight back. At the end before the inevitable escape, Vader performs true irony by dragging Obi-Wan across burning coals as a throwback to the very moment they last saw each other. Absolutely brutal. __________________ Medical Student vs. Anime Last Exile - Fam the Silver Wing -
