Obi-Wan Kenobi Behind The Scenes Secrets

Is this Star Wars show worth the time watching? Interested to hear what people think

[@Swarmah]

@@TheLazyFusspot_3428 Mandalorian 1 episode i enjoy, 1 episode i hate, this show is like, meh. I would like to see Kenobi defeating an inquisitor. Its like watching Halo, where in Halo half the show is a filler about some stupid filler girl, if that would be cut out, the show would be actually good, so here, there is also a lot of stuff, which should be cut out, so the show would be great, and same goes for Mando.

[@robertboender5816]

In 1977 my mother took me to A new hope and loved Star Wars from that date. Hated to wait between films and sometimes wonder if I would life long enough to see all films. Loved the prequels and the sequels missed the Star Wars feeling for me. Obi-Wan brought this feeling back and was really emotional at times. It's sad my mother didn't lived long enough to see it but at least I did. I'm 57 now and maybe I'll see a season 2. But a great thanx to Ewan, Haiden and the whole team for a job well done.

[@elviirafr]

Aww. RIP to your mom

[@adrianjbm76]

Yes about wonder if living enough, i wonder that too, i think many thinked that way too.

[@fluteplayer8636]

Yes. RIP to your mom Robert. By the way, just be lucky you missed the sequel trilogy of Star Wars. It's not good at all. Full of identity politics an unacceptable junk.

[@perceptionpoet4136]

It aired in 76 as just Star wars before it was called a new hop Rip to ur mom bro

[@DmitryWilkins]

Your so fucking lucky; the money I’d pay to go back to ‘77 and experience it

[@puppetshack4931]

I grew up on the prequels It was a great show. Wish it was longer. Loved the relationship of Obi & Leia and how it did tie them closer together and the girl nailed Leias character. So cool seeing Anakin and Kenobi’s relationship unfold and seeing some old faces and Prelogy moments. More please.

[@jolicoeur3697]

my friend from my class forced me to watch the movies just so i could see the scene where anakin burns and now i have a really bad addiction, i owe it all to you my old friend 🙏

[@CaptainRockoBD]

It was aight.

[@blackspace007]

Me too. Like the Mando and Boba Fett gave us a little taste of the genre, but to see the Force and Lightsabers again, it was such a joy. I'm actually glad they didn't do 3 movies. I want to see a 10 plus episode season next year, and another season after, instead of watching 3 movies over 6 or so years.

[@adinagabrielacheptrosu866]

I love the prequels and I love Hayden and Ewan ❤️.

[@samantharumak1704]

I've started watching Star Wars was when my dad bought the original trilogy cassette tapes back in the 1990s, I was around 5 years old at the time when he introduced it to me lol. Nowadays I'm playing the games and watching the movies/tv shows as they release.

[@kaitlynheater6088]

I was about 5 or 6, right around Halloween. My grandparent brought of A New Hope on the Dish Pay-Per-View. It was my first sci-fi experience, and I immediately love it. As soon as the credits started rolling, I turned around from my spot on the floor in the front of the TV, looked at my mom, and said. "I WANT to be Princess Leia for Halloween." Licensed character costumes weren't as common back then, and Star Wars was definitely old news in the mid-90s with the last film/series being made nearly 20 years prior. So, in a week and a half, my mom sewed me a Princess Leia costume from scratch; no pattern or anything!

[@MukiMuki688]

Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen have such good on-screen chemistry. Ewan nails Alec Guiness' speech pattern perfectly. Hayden gets a lot of flak for the prequels sometimes but honestly it's the dialogs fault and not his. Lucas wrote some wonky lines for that role.

[@julieanngenske1292]

I have loved Star Wars my entire life, and I love it all - tv series, movies, animated shows! I grew up with the original trilogy in the 70s as a young girl and continued to enjoy the prequels with my Dad. I probably saw New Hope in theaters at least 10 times! When he was going thru cancer treatments he had to wear a face mask when his neck was getting zapped and he always joked that it was his storm trooper helmet! Sadly he passed in 2017 and didn't see 8 or 9, but I took him to see 7 in the theater. I believe he would have loved Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett for the gun-slinger aspects - he loved his westerns!! I have started a Funko Pop Star Wars collection and have some of the movie posters to decorate my Star Wars room walls! Also a Grogu bath rug and shower curtain in my master bath!

[@blackspace007]

It was such a pleasure to see Ewan on screen as Obi Wan again. Even if I found things about the show that I thought could have been better, it doesn't come close to the positive feeling. That wish come true feeling of seeing him up their wilding a light saber and kicking @ss too. He played him so well. The timid, miserable version. The frightened, but more determined version as he's rescuing Leia. And he just progresses and becomes more determined to not be guided by fear. The ending fight, his aggression, the fall, using the Force blocking those huge rocks from crushing him. He's able to portray fear and strength at the same time, it's quite remarkable. Hayden is great physical actor. I look forward to multiple flashbacks so we can see him again. 6 episodes, did they really think that would do? I wanted Kenobi season 2 yesterday.

[@edgecruz4832]

Mosas was so good! I'd love to see her in future star wars projects. I hope Dave Filoni can make a spot for her. Deb really did them justice and really gave bright hopes for the future.

[@juliebullock251]

My dad and my maternal uncle were always big fans….when I was around 10 he rented all 3 of the original trilogy after I had scene the phantom menace and didn’t know what to make of it. It’s so weird but even as a 10 year old girl that wasn’t into science fiction I was immediately hooked. That gave me the joy of having that priceless experience of the anticipation leading to the release of episode II and episode III. At that point I was in…..forever. It is such a fond memory of my childhood becoming such a huge fan or the original and the prequels, and they just get even better with time!

[@Jay-wr1wh]

The first movie I ever watched in the theaters was Star Wars a New Hope in 1977. Been a fan ever since.

[@jakearmstrong9692]

It started in 1978 I was 3 yrs old I was given Star Wars a new hope on 8 track by my grandmother . I would sit in front of the console tv that housed the record player and the 8 track player and listen to the whole movie over and over for hrs on end. I still have that 8 track… That it where it started for me and hasn’t ended ..hope it never does… Btw Obi wan kenobi has and always will be my favorite … May the force be with you always….

[@Sh1zbyname22]

As a kid I used to always watch Star Wars with Luke in it, until my dad was watching Rots and I enjoyed it the most, I wanted to rewatch it since until 2021.

[@smilingsaiyan8357]

When I was about 6 years old my father took me to the cinema for the first ever time and that first movie I ever saw was the Phantom menace :) and that's how I met Ewan McGregor and had been a starwars fan for life since :) Tines like this show coming out and Ewan feeling good about the prequels again makes me so happy about staying true to myself and loving the prequels regardless of what the internet said. :)

[@SoCalDude1793]

Moses did an incredible job with her character! She made me hate the the character so much and she made her characters redemption scene so wonderful! I hope we see more of her in future Star Wars shows!

[@norsevapour2478]

Born in 90s, i grew up with sci-fi from the womb. I was shown star wars around the time i was 3-4 years old. Star Wars became my life as i wanted to live in that universe as a kid

[@clarasalinassanchez3705]

For me, Ewan makes such a great job, that when I thing of Obi-Wan is like Sir Alec Guinness and Ewan McGregor are the same person. And, yes, I know that Ewan looks very young for his age (younger than Alec Guinness at the same age for example playing Yevgraf in Doctor Zhivago). I watched the Originals when I was a kid, on Tv, and then the Phantom Menace in the cinema at 12 years old, and I remember that I developed a huge crush on Ewan McGregor that lasts until today. Obi-Wan has always been my favourite character, with Leia and R2, and for me all these moments between little Leia and Obi-Wan have been amazing.

[@camillesofia1662]

I don’t understand why people don’t like the prequels!!! I love them and not only because Hayden in my favorite actor!

[@jediknight73]

Vader scene was so good

[@Ticcy12]

i still cant believe the actor for the grand inquisitor purposely avoided researching his own damn role

[@kevincalgta]

It’s been 15 years or even longer since Ewan McGregor how to portray Obi-Wan Kenobi and it’s been the same amount of time that Hayden Stepped foot into the shoot of Darth Vader the dark Lord of the Sith

[@cski4048]

From the child who was 8 years old in 1977, thank you George Lucas, and the entire Star Wars cast. Star Wars has been the one constant good thing in my life, helped this old Jedi recover from many a set back. Always will love Star Wars ALWAYS

[@frankhezrapanerio5187]

Amazing to see them again. At first, I thought it was a different actor, but I am so happy that it was the same actor. Thank you for making this happen. A good series that can be treasured in our hearts, especially for star wars fanatics.

[@CaptainRockoBD]

Lmfao do not call yourself a “fanatic” if you didn’t even realize that was the same actors…

[@BarbusCraft]

Rupert not watching Rebels is probably the biggest mistake of the series. I was just super disappointed at the Grand Inquisitor, I wanted to see him live-action for years but this was bad.

[@peyton7904]

I’m glad he didn’t, keep live action and animated separated.

[@onx9920]

More like the bland inquisitor

[@sbeve6559]

The cartoons don't look anything like the live-action characters they're supposed to be. I mean the cartoon Vader looks like a child's drawing, and Anakin looks like a literal square. Best not to think about it.

I tend to just block the sequels out of my mind, so remembering that Leia's child is BEN! Just gave me even more love for the show

[@MegaStudio3112]

It was back in 2005, just a few months before ROTS came out to the cinema. I was 12, I've only watched The Phantom Menace once, but didn't really understand what was it about. Then my sister decided that she wanted to watch all the Star Wars movie just so she can connect the dots for ROTS. She borrowed all the Star Wars DVD from her good friend, and I would join her. That right there was the moment when Star Wars will be a part of me, forever. And during those time, that was how I really bonded with my sister. Knowing the fact that no matter how bad Darth Vader can be and in the end he still has that little bit of good side of him to pull him out of the darkness, will always be the reason for me to never judge people by their cover.

[@OrphanGrei]

Saw the first movie in the cinema, in Pontypridd. We’ve loved it ever since. Dad passed away, on May 4th 2019. I know how would have loved, how it’s grown since that first movie.

[@Dcgame]

I can't believe they didn't put more budget in that show. To all poeple who didn't watch it, give it a try, but just know that if you really liked the prelogy as I did, there isn't much you gonna be able to hold on to. If it wasn't for Ewan and Hayden this show would be dead for sure. So yeah, I'd say watch it but you might come out of it with a bitter taste, as so many of us did. If they do in fact plan to make a season 2 they gonna have to step up big time on every level... characters, script, story line, environments VFX, etc.

[@andrewvasquez7872]

The over use of VFX or practical was the exact criticism that the prequels had, so Star Wars has tried to lean more into the practice. I swear fans will never be happy.

[@rnichol22]

@@andrewvasquez7872 not really it was too obvious that it was a dine on a small budget, the story was poor. The sets were minimal with no transition other than to another single small set some were just a few boxes on the floor against the screen it looked terrible . Creatures were all just humanoid. Much of it was just filler and rather cheesey. When you compare it with mando you can tell the budget is way smaller. A bit like boba.

[@rnichol22]

Totally agree it could have been really special but they chose to do it cheaply

[@BeyondtheBox1]

I consider myself blessed when it comes to finding star wars as a child. I found my love for the galaxy far far away in 2005, just 2 weeks shy of episode 3 dropping. my dad took us to a Walmart after my brothers baseball game and there was a huge massive white tent in the parking lot. I had no idea what it was but I was too curious to not convince my parents to allow us to check it out. inside there were a million toys, a Darth Vader voice changing helmet which I HAD to buy just finding the character for the first time ever.. and an obi wan Hasbro lightsaber which was my first saber ever. there was a million toys and items merchandized for star wars and it instantly made me love the universe because how cool George's designs for every character was in the Skywalker saga. I fell in love with the clone troopers design and everything involving the character's looks and abilities. flash forward 2 weeks and I got to watch episode 1 then 2 then 3 then 4 then 5 then 6; which was a 1977 star wars fan's wet dream. I fell in love with George's creation and its been my most beloved story ever since.

[@Palpatine66]

In 1995-96 my dad show me for the first time A new Hope and since then Star Wars is a part of who I am today

[@trevorrandom]

This show has distroyed Star Wars!

[@mistreme8341]

I loved that Hayden got a chance to be passionate in his depiction of Vader. Though James Earl Jones again did the voice over, I noted that he followed Hayden’s cadences in the way he talks. That one scene (I won’t spoil it) made me cry a little. It was so very tragic. Hayden pulled it off beautifully. I also liked that you could see Hayden’s dynamic body language through the Vader armor. You knew he was in there…the REAL Darth Vader who was the REAL Anakin Skywalker.

[@SicilianoFilms]

James Earl Jones is credited for the voice work, but it was done through a program called Respeecher. It's why there is more Hayden in this dialogue and also why his voice sounds much cleaner and younger than it did in Rogue One.

[@lordvenjix3757]

This show has managed to be incredibly tense despite the fact that we all know its main characters are perfectly safe. A phenomenal debut and an equally phenomenal Star Wars show overall, thus far!

[@TheLazyFusspot_3428]

Agree

[@CaptainRockoBD]

It was alright.

[@miguelmedel5298]

Well that explains A LOT to why the Grand Inquisitor turned out to be the way it did. The guy never watched the first season of Rebels to take notes his character's first appearance ....either way. He did okay.

[@sbeve6559]

Okay but can we talk about how the grand inquisitor is so FINE

[@AdrianLeeMagill]

I was five years old when my parents took me to see "A New Hope" when it first hit theatres. I don't remember much, but I do remember the audience laughing at some of the dialogue like "The force can have a strong impact on the weak minded." and "Will somebody get this walking carpet out of my way?"

[@kierandeepsarngal157]

I loved the prequel trilogy I was born in 1997 I was grew up watching this

[@andreas.abrahamsson]

Rupert Friend 's Inquisitor was to me, the superior character in this mini series. I would really like to see much more of him in other upcoming Star Wars films/series.

[@ponokunishima1]

One of my former classmates introduced me to Star Wars way back after the original three came out. However, I was one year old when Return of the Jedi came out in 1983 and Raiders of the Lost Ark came out right before I was born.

[@nickjurkovic310]

My uncle had the phantom menace disk I saw maul and it looked cool so I put it in the dvd box and the rest was history

[@inlonging]

I did not grow up with the prequels. But Obi wan, qui gon, palpatine, and even the transformation of anakin in the third were all such bright spots. I don’t know how the actors ever felt poorly about their performances

[@darealpapajon]

Boomer ot fans bullying the actors

[@inlonging]

@@darealpapajon maybe. I mean Jake Lloyd said he was bullied in school over it, presumably those were Millennials. I know Jar Jar didn’t seem well received by anyone my age or older, but most everyone liked Qui Gon and Obi Wan, especially the Maul battle and finally seeing Jedi in their prime. I was much more disappointed by the Boba Fett backstory than anything else lol. And that for some reason Lucas chose an actor so unlike the Bulloch/Wintergreen combo. I know fans have come to love Morrison but it was quite a shock, I can tell you, compared to many of the other backstories that surprised us. This was all before the days of Twitter cancellations and such…. I still don’t get where the actors got so much negative feedback from fans (critics are another story).

Kenobi would have been a great series of they'd have HAD MORE Kenobi and Darth VADER! HOWEVER, it was more about the inquisitors, especially Reva, who, in my opinion was not only not canon but overly dramatized and poorly acted.

[@abby2404]

I heard rumors they did but kathleen kennedy cut these scenes out.

[@kevincalgta]

And in my honest opinion Moses Ingram and all of the other actors who played the inquisitors brought something really special they brought the added threat that it was an only Darth Vader hunting Jedi dynamite what is the pinion it would’ve been nice if we would’ve seen trailers she Dory the second sister in Kenobi but she was killed five years before Kenobi By the hand of Darth Vader himself
