Best Star Wars Character of All Time Series (Obi-Wan Kenobi Character Analysis) Part 3B Video Essay

[@KraziKazi]

Who is the best Communicator in Star Wars and Why?

[@Paul_W_222]

Obi-Wan. He acts in a way that i would describe as "self-mailable". He sticks to his own ideals, but he learns and evolves, becoming a better and better communicator as he progresses on his life's journey. His communication skills peak in the original trilogy, where he continues to guide and mentor Luke even after his death. Excellent series dude- will we be seeing a part 4 by any chance?

[@inarencommander4663]

Although we don't get to see a lot of him, maybe Bail Organa. But ultimately I'd have to say Palpatine. He's just too good at turning people's actions in his favor.

[@Paul_W_222]

@@inarencommander4663 Excellent point. Bail Organa is such a charismatic, solid character- totally underrated . And yes, Palpatine is the absolute king of manipulation.

[@ransomweslock2007]

I would probably have to go with Sidious, he easily bends everyone to his will. Most importantly though, almost everyone WANTS to do what Sidious guides them towards. He can persuade and cajole anyone to his side. Obi and Organa are amazing orators but there influence is limited to persuasion and those who have similar ideals. Sidious manipulates every being he talks to and is able to convince those against him to follow his cause wholeheartedly.

Yoda. He makes you really focus 😂

My favorite passage from Revenge of Sith novel describing Kenobi’s style in context of personality and use of the force… There is an understated elegance in Obi-Wan Kenobi’s lightsaber technique, one that is quite unlike the feel one might get from the other great swordsbeings of the Jedi Order. He lacks entirely the flash, the pure bold élan of Anakin “Skywalker; there is nowhere in him the penumbral ferocity of a Mace Windu or a Depa Billaba nor the stylish grace of a Shaak Ti or a Dooku, and he is nothing resembling the whirlwind of destruction that Yoda can become. He is simplicity itself. That is his power. Before Obi-Wan had left Coruscant, Mace Windu had told him of facing Grievous in single combat atop a mag-lev train during the general’s daring raid to capture Palpatine. Mace had told him how the computers slaved to Grievous’s brain had apparently analyzed even Mace’s unconventionally lethal Vaapad and had been able to respond in kind after a single exchange. “He must have been trained by Count Dooku,” Mace had said, “so you can expect Makashi as well; given the number of Jedi he has fought and slain, you must expect” “that he can attack in any style, or all of them. In fact, Obi-Wan, I believe that of all living Jedi, you have the best chance to defeat him.” This pronouncement had startled Obi-Wan, and he had protested. After all, the only form in which he was truly even proficient was Soresu, which was the most common lightsaber form in the Jedi Order. Founded upon the basic deflection principles all Padawans were taught-to enable them to protect themselves from blaster bolts-Soresu was very simple, and so restrained and defense-oriented that it was very nearly downright passive. “But surely, Master Windu,” Obi-Wan had said, “you, with the power of Vaapad-or Yoda’s mastery of Ataro-” Mace Windu had almost smiled. “I created Vaapad to answer my weakness: it channels my own darkness into a weapon of the” “light. Master Yoda’s Ataro is also an answer to weakness: the limitations of reach and mobility imposed by his stature and his age. But for you? What weakness does Soresu answer?” Blinking, Obi-Wan had been forced to admit he’d never actually thought of it that way. “That is so like you, Master Kenobi,” the Korun Master had said, shaking his head. “I am called a great swordsman because I invented a lethal style; but who is greater, the creator of a killing form-or the master of the classic form?” “I’m very flattered that you would consider me a master, but really-” “Not a master. The master,” Mace had said. “Be who you are, and Grievous will never defeat you.

this is definitely all of why he is, hands down, my favorite star wars character

[@Maaroussia]

I concur

[@YanoshRagauld]

Anakin,,," He's nothing to do with this",, caught me funny that time. Bhaha

[@HeyNimbus]

*I REALLY wish you would do analysis like this about Harry Potter characters :)*

[@isaacfulcrum]

Can't wait for part 4, you're awesome!

[@Yang_1230]

You got obi wan so good as a character and on a mental breakdown as well The Anakin/Vader videos will be amazing 🤩

[@El_Squid]

Great video. Parts A and B were phenomenal. Looking forward to Part 4.

[@theWDP2005]

Great videos as always. Always enjoy when you upload.

[@KraziKazi]

Thanks, I appreciate that!

[@ransomweslock2007]

This is the first time ive commented but ive seen all your videos. You are absolutely amazing at breaking down my favorite characters. The way youre able to completely deconstruct scenes and show us each characters motivations and choices makes me appreciate characters ive loved for decades in a whole new light. I dont care what character you do next because i know its gonna be an amazing analysis. Thank you for doing this series. I really enjoy it and cant wait for your next video.

[@Lpwyse]

Have been bingeing all of these! These are all fantastic! Great insight and thoughtful explanation.

[@obaidfaraz5735]

Visible happiness

[@user-px5cp8op8m]

I’m really enjoying this series so glad I found this Chanel

[@barbelarmbroster6524]

Your channel is a gem! 💎🤗 Keep on going!

[@KraziKazi]

Thank you! Will do!

[@blustudios385]

Love these! No character from any franchise can compete with George Lucas's creations.

[@harry_page]

These videos are great, good work :)

[@CJ-111]

Nice video

[@kingchurros9021]

I love your videos man, you're great at analysis, makes me appreciate characters to a whole new tier. I'm curious would you do sequel characters in the future?

[@g1novanni]

There are no good characters in the sequels, so he can't.

[@CRYSTAL_CUSTOMS]

@@g1novanni the whole point of this series is to make a case for characters being the best so i think he could make a case for rey skywalker or Ben solo

[@g1novanni]

@@CRYSTAL_CUSTOMS No, he can't. Rey and Ben are terrible characters in a terrible trilogy.

[@CRYSTAL_CUSTOMS]

@@g1novanni well I guess we can agree to disagree on both of those points

[@TheMocutMiester]

Please do some Bad Batch Content. Would love some Character analysis on those bois.

[@KraziKazi]

I'm definitely considering it, it wouldn't be for a while cause there's still a lot of characters I still want to do first though

[@ransomweslock2007]

@@KraziKazi yeah i would also love you doing other star wars media but i think it’s important you go through all the og characters first, theyre the reason we love star wars after all

[@user-px5cp8op8m]

11:02 that’s why he is the best jedi

[@harmonylelouche9421]

R U gonna do the Obi series that's coming out soon? Or U gonna do New Hope right after this 1?

[@xemmyQ]

i imagine that he will probably wait until the series is fully released and make a part 5B or 5C or something. Part 4 is likely going to be about the second half of RotS, and part 5 will be his role in the OT, since there is a lot less to show of Obiwan there.

[@KraziKazi]

Right on the money about Part 4 and 5 @Sarah James. I won't touch the TV show for a while but I would like to go over it at some point, same with Obi-Wan in the Clone Wars show

[@rikudoubapeck]

I cannot wait until you get to Anakin. Perhaps my favourite character in all of fiction specifically film Anakin

[@michaszkot4419]

Oh no, I'm not brave enough for another character analysis.

[@silda3623]

Why don’t you have a mil subs wtf?

[@DavidBloodJohnson]

I would say that killing dooku would have earned Anakin a spot on the council.

[@weftin5721]

comment for the algorithm

[@J7mmy2K04]

This is the way.

[@KraziKazi]

I appreciate it friend

[@J7mmy2K04]

Are you only analyzing characters from the skywalker saga? because if not, Dave Filoni created some seriously complex and well developed characters in Rebels and the Clone Wars.

[@KraziKazi]

For now that's the case but I plan on revisiting these to go over their roles in Rebels/Clone Wars, as well as a few characters that are basically exclusive to those shows Ahsoka, Rex, and Maul as examples. And I agree, Dave Filoni has done a fantastic job with the characters he's added to the franchise
