Luke, did I ever tell you about the time I was one of the most respected actors in the world, performing in renowned films such as Kind Hearts and Coronets, The Bridge on the River Kwai and A Passage to India? I even got an Oscar and a Knighthood in recognition for my talent and excellence. Then, while I was between shooting masterpieces with David Lean, a nerd named George Lucas begged me to play a samurai wizard from space in his sci-fi/fantasy flick. I took it to be nice, even though it meant saying lines such as "Only a master of evil Darth". Somehow, despite Lucas's bungling, it was a huge success and he roped me into appearing in the two equally idiotic sequels. I didn’t want to, but my code of honor as British gentleman and an actor prevented me from leaving a project unfinished. Now that's those movies are the only thing people remember me for. When you search my name on Google Images, the first result is from a website called “Wookiepedia”. My legacy is ruined forever thanks to Lucas. And he was a good friend.

Kenobi could have been good. Dragging Leia into it and making Kenobi and Vader fight again made it feel like fan fiction. A more subtle version where Kenobi had to save Bail instead of Leia and maybe just narrowly avoided meeting Vader would have been way cooler and fit the overall story better.

[@KevinJDildonik]

[@TMCNJ]

Or they could’ve at least had them deal more damage to each other. Vader shouldn’t have had his saber at the end of the fight (I know they wanted the cool play with the lighting on his face) but nothing stopping Vader boomeranging Obi 🤦🏻‍♂️ if they both had more injury, it would explain why they are so slower and cautious in New Hope. It was good, but it could’ve been way better

[@protector_of_the_realms]

@@TMCNJNah I can’t call it good lol. Disagree with you there. The injury thing I’ve never thought about and that’s a nice touch but them not fighting at all still would’ve been better I think. The show ruined both characters as well as the Grand Inquisitor and on top of that was horribly written, acted and had the worst cinematography and choreography of any Star Wars project and was just dumb propelled by coincidence. Honestly the worst thing to ever come out of Star Wars up to this point imo. Which is sad because it was the project I was most hyped for by far. Was thinking it was going to be an amazing intimate character drama about PTSD and responsibility beautifully shot in the desert but I got the opposite, dumb forced action fan fic with the worst action that makes 0 sense and is laughable. The plot could have worked if instead of a random Jedi finding Obi-wan on Tatooine ruining his character by showing he hasn’t covered his tracks at all, it could’ve been Vos and have a buddy team up film with Vader killing him at the end if you had to get off planet but still.

"Your father's lightsaber, the old Younglingslayer!"

[@That2J]

This is just excellent. The video I mean. The lore is beyond repair

[@lgjhmovies]

they should just wipe away everything and start again fresh so they can fuck it up again.

[@dr.nigelcool3771]

It all makes sense now. Like poetry, it rhymes.

[@dirdib69]

It's the whole dry and matter-of-fact quality to it that is so hilarious. Goodness but Star Wars has been wrecked.

[@mullenio4200]

I was shouting at the TV when this scene happened. It's like the writers aren't even trying.

[@Nathanpark-cu2gd]

"It was the last time I ever saw him... Aside from nine years ago." 😂😂😂

[@themonkeyhand]

Never noticed the wooden blade training saber hanging on the wall above the chest he pulls the real lightsaber out of.

Disney Star Wars is a great continuation of the legacy of George Lucas, and the Kenobi show contains no retcons, contradictions, or plot-holes, at all. From a certain point of view.

[@ivanfernandez6255]

is a sick burn, but not quite like i did to him in the volcanic planet of mustafar

[@lurid_phaesporia]

This is the best Star Wars satire I’ve seen this year

[@Bruhtatochip742]

Disney writers never think.

[@gaboseries5252]

KENOBI is Canon. It’s just that they deleted the scene that reveals it’s a story Ben Kenobi tells to Luke on a waiting room before being diagnosed with space dementia.

"She forgot the whole hiding in my cloak thing after many years of therapy, and I never bring it up for...legal reasons."

[@ZabaTV]

"And he was a good friend" got me to spit take Red Bull

[@dreckel6572]

1:09 gets me every time lol

[@GladiusThemes]

The way Luke looks at him like “huh?”, and then when Obi says “I mean Darth Vader…” then Luke smiles thinking “oh silly Ben” 😂😂

[@CalamityCain]

I love this so much! Thank you. It made me feel so good about what I love about Star Wars and sooo, so bad about all that's been wrong with it for decades now. Somehow the pacing and back and forth of Luke smiling at this clearly rambly old man talking random nonsense was kind of heartwarming. "Oh, that's just Old Ben for ya, mixing up all his facts and semi-intentionally making up parts of his past as he ages, battling his on-set dementia. He's a good man, that old Ben."

[@cavareenvius7886]

He forgot to mention the one time a Chicken-Duck-Women ripped Anakins face off and he bleed so bad Obi-Wan had to replace the floorboards.

a bup day is a always a good day

[@DeathInTheSnow]

"In a galaxy, far far away, there lives just a handful of interesting people whose lives we will constantly write about and make up stories for that contradict each other in the hopes that nobody notices. We don't do this on purpose of course. We just paid so little attention to the previous works that it it happened this way." This really hit when _The Clone Wars_ started. I know people liked it at the time, but it introduced so many new characters, scenarios, story elements, plots, traits and relationships that it made it feel all the stranger that none of them were mentioned the films. And the more of it that happens, the worse that problem gets. The only non-film series that got it right was Genndy Tartakovsky's _Clone Wars_ shorts that aired before. The stories simultaneously gave depth to characters who had little in the films, like Mace Windu and General Grievous, and was perfectly canon-adjacent so that make the galaxy feel bigger without overlapping with the core story. Plus it was rad as hell. So naturally it was immediately made non-canon when the new show with an eerily similar name and premise came out from Lucas himself, as if he was jealous that the only highly praised SW content in years that existed was made by somebody else. Ah well. It's all moot now. Hard to enjoy the older stuff now knowing it's owned by the Mouse and dwarfed by all the new shit that's pumped out.

[@speed7exc]

This is one of the funniest things I've seen all year. Thank you.

[@MightyRob1]

Finally it all makes sense

[@BreaksBee]
