A Look Back At Obi-Wan Kenobi | Star Wars Celebration LIVE! 2023

Watch the interview with Deborah Chow, Ewan McGregor, Vivien Lyra Blair, Hayden Christensen, and Indira Varma for A Look Back at Obi-Wan Kenobi at Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023.

Hayden and Ewan never fail to make me cry. They deserve so much love

[@Nyhde]

Several moments of Vivien had me going "I knew she was great in the show but she's amazing!" I will watch her career with great interest.

[@kylebrady969]

ah yes, +1 prequel meme.

[@chasehedges6775]

👍👍

[@Louisa.Bowman23]

I'm just blown away by Vivian's confidence and how grown up she is for her age. I can just see Carrie Fisher smiling down at her and glowing with happiness for this little actress with a Great Big Star Quality.

[@FernandoTRA]

I'm so impressed with Vivian. I have not seen the series but her vocabulary and its use in the panel is impressive.

[@FernandoTRA]

Sorry for using impressed and impressive so much but she's something else...

Why are you watching this panel when you haven’t even seen ObiWan?!😂😂

[@AustinSmithProfile]

Seeing Ewan and Hayden hug after that confrontation scene was just 🥰

[@dzambran16]

Seeing Hayden’s face as Vader (in his suit) finally helped bridge that gap between his two characters. Thank you for giving us this moment!

[@claraxani9388]

Hayden is a legend ❤ Make more shows with him!

[@bri_____]

Hayden's portrayal of Vader was absolutely terrifying

[@therealel1te284]

The show has its faults and it's issues. It may not be amazingly written, but the fact we got to see ewan and hayden again is worth the bumps.

Vivien channeling Carrie and Hayden being so precious while Indira being brilliant and Ewan his charming self.

[@cykurosaki1337]

Such a pleasure seeing Ewan act alongside Hayden again. Please include them in Ahsoka or something!

[@ncard00]

Hayden is in Ahsoka, as Vader, force ghost, and Anakin in the WBTW, in a what if very special scene with a young Ahsoka on a very specific very hot planet…

[@antonini3185]

Now that I reviewed the goodbye scene between Obi-Wan and Leia, it kind of reminds me of little Anakin saying goodbye to his mom, they both ask "will I ever see you again" and it's just heart melting

This will always be in my memory. The show wasn’t as good as it could’ve been. But seeing Hayden and Ewan on screen with each other again was amazing. Both of them did a great job portraying Vader and Obi-Wan.

[@pietropietro5466]

I felt like it had enough passion and heart that it made me appreciate this show even though its many flaws. As long as you can make me feel something and make me care about the characters I'm on board, sadly I did not quite get the same with the latest season of the Mandalorian.

Just rewatched the first episode of the series yesterday. Glad to see this uploaded the following day. 😊

[@talon3684]

Absolutely love hearing Vivien talk. No wonder she got the part. Such a intelligent, gifted and beautiful child. A perfect young Leia. And anytime we can see Hayden and Ewan is a treat in these roles. I thought that Obi-Wan season served perfectly as a one-and-done thing.

[@kennethbrewer5993]

By far my favorite panel!!! Obi-wan was freaking amazing!!!

[@traffordtanner1983]

Vivien is just so amazingly awesome! The perfect juxtaposition of maturity and childlike innocence. She’s really adorable. I hope she has a long, successful acting career ahead of her.

[@LungMing23]

I had some major issues with this series as a long time fan but I could tell the whole time that everyone put their heart in it. They did really try. Simply because I love these characters I would watch a season 2 no doubt. This time with Obi staying on the sandy Tat and learning stuff from his old master while protecting Luke.

[@fydiousmckormick]

Its too bad that wasn’t what the first season was. Hopefully season 2 has a completely different crew. The cast is fine outside of Reva which is more a problem with the character itself.

[@LungMing23]

@fydiousmckormick i agree 100%. And Riva was acted well and cast well. My problem was how much of a focus she was in a serious about Obi Wan.

[@Nonpoint-ct6rg]

​@@fydiousmckormick it was a limited series there's not gonna be another season. Thank God

The scenes they showed were the best parts of the show. The emotion of those scenes were truely star wars.

[@MC3801Productions]

Did the Obi Wan Kenobi Series live up to its potential. No it didn’t unfortunately. Do I still recommend watching it? Yes absolutely! Despite its flaws, it was still an entertaining series. Having two of the biggest characters in the franchise come back together was truly something special.

The finale was awesome, but the rest of the show was just ok at best. There definitely needed to be more inquisitor action and more for them to do overall. That was a really lovely panel though. 😊

I like how Obiwan didnt want Anakin in The Phantom Menace and was forced to train him since he promised Qui Gon as his last wish and then in this series he is reminded of child Anakin in Leia and has to learn how to be the father figure he should have been for Anakin
