This is why I have completely signed off from Disney Star Wars now. The final straw for me were the Sequels. It wasn't enough to simply just ruin Luke, Han and Leia and then kill them off, the Sequels had to tell us that basically everything they accomplished in the original films meant a total of jack shit and it was basically up to some bullshit Mary-Sue to fix everything they all failed to do. Even Anakin's redempation and sacfrice wasn't spared by resurrecting the guy he was built up to kill only for Rey to steal his victory from him too. As far I care now Star Wars ended in 2012 the second George sold everything off to that snake Iger and co. Everything Disney has been putting out with the Star Wars lable slapped on has as much to do with Lucas's Star Wars as Amazon's Rings of Woke has to do with J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth or everything Kurtzman has shat out with Star Trek has to do with the the universe that Gene Roddenberry envisioned.

No one was more excited for KENOBI than I was. The trailer made me believe that it was going to be a great character study into Ben’s grief, PTSD, and him finding himself back to his faith again after having lost it. Where we would delve into the dark time period and see what it was like to be living in an era where Jedi are hunted. Where we could see Ben really struggle with wanting to help others but can't because he has to stay hidden. Where he's lost all faith in the force and himself and has to find a way back to himself. Where we could see Vader in his prime and delve into what he was doing. How the years have treated him since he was put into the suit. How he dealt with the grief of losing Padme. How he's being struggling to be the perfect Sith Lord. There's an amazing comic of how Vader got his lightsaber that would have been OUTSTANDING to witness. It could have been something dark and real and special. There was so much they could have done. But unfortunately it barely did any of that.

The Kenobi book by JJM ("Legends" AKA the real canon made by people who actually care/know Star Wars) does a good job of this IMO. If they would've made the TV show entirely based off of the book and maybe added a little more action to it, the show would've been a solid 10. This steaming turd we got is not the Obi-Wan we came to know across the PT/OT.

Obi-Wan left Anakin alive on Mustafar because he couldn’t deliver the killing blow, not because he didn’t want Anakin to die. He expected him to burn to death. The writers of this show apparently forgot that and made Obi-Wan spare Anakin again even though Anakin was not mortally wounded.

[@BWMagus]

Right; fucker was chopped in half and ON FIRE--he could barely move. If anything, Kenobi was being surprisingly cruel by NOT mercy-killing Anakin, though I get the dramatic purpose. Do these writers think Jedi are not allowed to kill? Jango Fett would like a word with them.

[@Heartshapedbox81]

It was pretty obvious from his face it's what he wanted to do but at the same time he knew all the Anakin had done with irredeemable, there's just too many things that could have been going with his head at the time wanting to kill him because of what he had become, wanting to kill him to put him out of his misery, even still wanting to save him, all the emotions flitting across his face in that moment and the show.... completely obliterated it without a care in the world, instead we get this idiot Grandpa with the same name as the character we know and love but lacking any similarity to any iteration of him, having to be led by the nose by a child and having completely forsaken the training and "religion" he'd stuck to his entire life, the Obi-Wan we know still even after everything was thought lost continued to fight with hope there were other survivors they could still warn and save inspite of how bleak a prospect before going into hiding, but what does he do? What do they have him do upon meeting another Jedi Survivor? They portray him as a coward, as some broken lump. you know what would make some semblance of sense? Is that instead they portrayed him with something we generally do not see in Obi-Wan that being anger, anger at being one of the last surviving Jedi, the fact that his entire order has been wiped out, anger at himself for not having seen this coming or having been able to save or stop Anakin in time, for having to be in hiding and for any of the Injustices he sees that there's nothing he can do about without drawing attention to himself, not that every situation should mean he draws attention to himself because we could still easily see him trying to do some good while in hiding, ya know because he's smart 🙄 and by the end of the journey he will have fully returned to the light and stopped his loss, anger and frustration pulling him over to the dark side with the help of his old master, but we don't want to portray any of that because that would be heroic and we don't want to show any of the anger because that would be toxic so instead we get this character in spite of the fact that he's a war hero, inspite of his years, his training, his diplomacy, his tenacity, his willpower, his intelligence, for the entirety of the show he is like a deer in headlights, or whatever the Star Wars equivalent is, it's absolutely f****** insulting.

Besides he saw that he was no longer anakin and had become evil and "more man than machine". From a certain point of view, his friend was killed by vader, so that argument doesnt make sense

[@fredrik8500]

Maybe "didn't" wasn't the right word. Maybe he couldn't kill him. Perhaps he failed as a Jedi, let emotions interfere and the shame of this failure drove him off the path. And reason he trains Luke is because Obi Wan hopes he will be able to do what he couldn't, thereby giving him some measure of redemption. I'm fairly certain this would make an extreme amount off sense. Now I don't give two shits about Star Wars, old or new. I just wanted to illuminate the fact that most of you are not as clever as you think you are. So maybe ease up on the condescension.

So uncivilized what they did to Obiwan

[@jpeero]

they dropped the ball on this series so badly, im not even a big star wars fan but I can see how badly they are butchering this universe. It started with the force awakens and now watching Obi Wan grown ass men can't even catch a child who is less than 10 feet from them, then they get outrun by said child, and run into tree branches like comedic clowns.

The slashing of Vader's mask wasn't even their idea. They stole it from Filoni's show, Star Wars Rebels. Even their good ideas aren't even theirs.

[@theopportuneson699]

I want to note that _Kenobi_ ripped off _Rebels_ with slashing Vader’s mask. It’s just that Ahsoka (Anakin’s Jedi apprentice of 2 years in _The Clone Wars)_ sliced the *right* side.

[@yrooxrksvi7142]

Only Rebels ? They ripped off Jedi Fallen Order as well, Reva is essentially a worse version of Trilla, and the 4th episode is a straight up rip-off of the game's final level.

So dumb and just shows how little they gave a s*** about Luke

[@womble10576]

all they had to do with this series was show how Obi Wan kept Luke safe over the years. 6 episodes of him dealing with random threats. it could have been anything but the writers did the dumbest things possible. one episode could have been the sand people threatening Luke and his family. it would have explained why they were so scared of Obi Wan at the start of a New Hope. it's really not that difficult!!

[@DannyJustiniano]

Disney's Star Wars is NOT Star Wars. "I have spoken".

[@aldojoel4836]

When Darth Bane gathered all of the Sith in a circle to perform a ritual and said "are you ready to kill a planet?", then proceeded to channel their combined strength and KILL a planet by striking it with force lightning and burning the entire surface to bring out the Jedi, that was badass and believable. When the Jedi and Sith of the Old Republic could sway an entire space battle by meditating on their command ships, channeling the Force to their pilots, that was badass and believable. Why? Because even the Jedi of the Republic days admitted they were nowhere near as connected to the Force as the people in the Old days were. Yoda could barely stop some rocks falling on his head. But old Ben and Vader can just throw boulders around like nothing. It is goofy af, and completely disconnected from what Lucas and other authors set in motion regarding the rules of the Force

[@yrooxrksvi7142]

Good to see a EU fan showcasing how beautiful it used to be....Naga Sadow or Odan-Urr swaying the outcome of battle by merely meditating or using psychological warfare is a great example of how truly great the Force is, not just telekinesis and lightning.

[@stringer2295]

It’s funny because that’s the part from the series that always remember

[@JJJ854]

[@Brummhund]

They could have made it so much better, obi wan stops fighting Vader because he gets notified that Reva is after Luke. So he spares Vader to safe Luke. Then he kills Reva last second to safe Luke and regains confidence. Really good story

[@shawnpatrick5843]

When I saw the Last Jedi I lost my love for Star Wars entirely. All it took was Leia flying in outer space.

[@kirstenb1913]

Yeah, that scene was so bad, so pitiful. Carrie deserved so much more

[@RomanHistoryFan476AD]

What's even worse is that in this very Canon already Obi-Wan has shown that he will kill threats to Luke to ensure they can never become one, or become a risk of them trying to turn him to the dark side or get interrogated by Vader. When Luke is on the line Obi-Wan does not mess around he is quite cold actually with dealing with them. Oh and in Star Wars Legends as well both funny enough with Darth Maul being that character used as the example. Both times they found Obi-Wan and Luke and both times they were eliminated by Obi-Wan. In written correctly Reva and Vader would be both dead, Reva for being a threat and knowing too much and Vader because he is a Monster with no redemption in Obi-Wan's eyes. But I guess what can we Expect from the House of Rat nipping away on the corpse of a once grand franchise.

[@OhCanadaGamer]

[@FiliusFidelis]

yes, distance really is a thing of the past, in Rogue One they went from deciding to leave Yavin4 to arriving at Scariff in less than 4 minutes, and that included taking off from the ground.

[@guardiadeltemplo]

Glad to know i'm not the only one who thinks this serie is stupid. They messed up one of the most brilliant characters ever written... and they just walk away saying proudly that this Obi Wan is the same as the one whe met in episode 4 and the prequel trilogy. It's a shame. Thank you for your work, Robot Head, I'm such a big fan and your videos are truly the best. Keep up the good work! By the way, sorry for mi bad english

[@Maikigai]

The fan edit of Kenobi was actually really good. If they do a second season, I’d want a fairly chill story about Kenobi finding more balance within the Force as guided by Jinn. Even learning to communicate with Yoda would be fun. I think, too, that it would be the perfect way to introduce a live-action Ezra. My script for season 2: Kenobi has a vision of Maul killing him. Jinn guides him to let go of any hate he has towards Maul and he explains the will of the Force in a way that helps him to understand death in a new way. Meanwhile, Maul is seen looking for Kenobi via his methods as seen in Rebels. Eventually, “years later”, a live-action Ezra meets an older Ben, and the events of Rebels occur with the addition of Kenobi seeing the reason for losing to Maul from his visions; hence why he changed stances and ultimately defeats Maul with no hatred in his heart, but instead being the need to protect Luke. The series ends with Ben cremating Maul and the show recreating Ben seeing a teen Luke being called in by Beru. Any “action” shown throughout are internal meditations of Ben training for his showdown with Maul being taught by Yoda and Qui-Gon.

[@Maikigai]

Also, most of your complaints I think from a lack of understanding that Star Wars, in spite of its name, is about internal balance. Everything is a metaphor for spiritual balance. Yes, the show made some mistakes, but again, the fan-edit made it a worthwhile movie.

[@thepeskyone]

Disney: You're a bad character your a bad character, all of you are bad characters!

[@ImotekhtheStormlord-tx2it]

Also its funy how Reva turned back from dark side so easy when almost nobody turned from dark side maybe except anakin but he was dying and was an embodiment of the force, his death and redemption meant an another piece of the force.... reva just switches sides like basketball players. darth maul turned to "light" after years and 2 decapitations

[@wreckerthegoat]

maul never turned to the light, he just realised that he was manipulated and left to rot by palpatine

[@ZenMonkeyGod]

Maul was evil till the end. He just came to finally find closure with Obi Wan and sort of empathised with him in his last moments. Doesn't mean he turned to the light side.

[@ImotekhtheStormlord-tx2it]

@@ZenMonkeyGod he helped ezra for a reason. did you even watch rebels? he was stoick, wise. opposite of dark side users....

[@ZenMonkeyGod]

@reaper Should be pretty obvious I watched Rebels, and so I'm aware that Ezra's gullible arse falls for Maul's trickery. What does this have to do with Maul's last moments, and how he meets his end? How is anything I said being contested? Maul is *literally a dark side user.*

[@inkermoy]

There's been so much bad Star Wars that there isn't even an OT anymore. There's just Star Wars (1977). Who knew that making Darth Vader into Luke's father would make such a messed up franchise?

[@anthonysvokos2697]

Yep. After Lucas took over rewriting the script for Empire is when he started watering down the story, combining separate characters. shortening timelines and just in general beginning the process of shrinking his previously larger original concept for the saga, something he continued with in Return.

[@dereksendrak]

The content of this episode is what I feared the most from the series, where Reva was going to have the opportunity to kill Luke and/or Leia and/or Kenobi, and *she* is the one decides that the events of the original trilogy get to happen by choosing not to. I was committed to this prediction weeks before it happened and everyone was giving me shit for preemptively hating Reva, as if that development wasn't obvious from the start.

[@LeeerroyJenkins]

14:29 This is genuinely creepy. She said so little but also so much in between the lines. "... bringing in people that are just having a blast..." just gave it an extra evil twist. It's like the video says. Disney hates (or at least is completely apathetic) to Star Wars. They bought this big shiny toy and brought in a bunch of people and said, "Do whatever you want with it! Go have fun!" There's not an ounce of passion in anything she is saying and it's really weird to me that people can be standing there hearing her talk and think that any of this was amazing.
