Some of you may ask if this is a reupload of my older "Obi-Wan Kenobi... Why It's Great" video (I got similar questions about my siege of mandalore video). No it is not. However, when rewriting this video I found myself not having changed my mind about much since I made the previous video. So I did reuse a lot of points that I made. I find it unnecessary to reword my arguments that I felt were already strong a year ago. So if certain praises or criticisms sound familiar, that is probably why. But for those of you who find this video too similar to my original one, I did add a 22 minute rewrite section so that's something new you can enjoy. Thank you! #UniteTheKlaudSquad

Solid rewrite but I think you misunderstood that it was never the story's goal to make US believe obi wan was at fault, its what he personally believed and you changing that also takes away from a new hope given that he Still see Vader as his student he failed, the only other people that blame obi wan are Owen (because that's probably what Obi wan told him) and Anakin because he was manipulated into holding on to his hate and the mistakes obi wan made, other than that solid rewrite

I honestly think reva dying to vader in episode 5 would be a better way to end her story, it would be about how revenge gets you nowhere or solves your problems and i feel it could’ve hit hard

[@captainfilip7188]

I wholeheartedly disagree… while I understand your point… I think it ultimately would’ve been an extremely lacklustre end that led to nothing. Her story showing that despite everything she went through, everything she lost and worked so hard to achieve to get her revenge on the person who took it all from her, she still could not fully give herself to the hatred and kill an innocent child, because she knew she was that one decision away from becoming exactly like Vader. It showed yet again.. that no matter what we go through.. we can always choose to change and not let our suffering define us. She now has a future in this universe and I’m excited to see where she pops up next.

​@@captainfilip7188problem is that Reva's arc is basically just a massively elongated version of the arc Luke goes through during his final showdown with Vader/Palps in ROTJ, just far less interesting. Luke also realised what he was doing was leading him down the same path as Vader, but it didn't take 7 or 8 hours of screen time for him to cotton on.

[@Chronically0nline]

@@captainfilip7188 Your argument doesn't work though when she's essentially a mindless evil creature. Cutting peoples hands off as a form of interrogation, for example, and stabbing another inquisitor to get what she wants. And before you try to tell me Vader is those things, he isn't. He hunted and killed Jedi, but there's a reason as to why. When he interrogates Leia, she is not harmed. Neither is Han during his torture on Bespin. Sure, he's not well, but it's not really clear what happens to him. Vader is willing to sacrifice Han's life in the carbon freeze chamber, but doesn't put his life in direct harm, only chancing it. There's zero reason for Reva to even have been in this story. Thats the problem with this show, it doesn't focus on the right things and breaks what we already understand about the Star Wars universe. If canon doesn't matter to you, fine, but then how do you measure whats good or bad in terms of story telling?

But the Reva character really frustrated me, a lot of characters made cartoonishly stupid decisions, plus the production value looked surprisingly low.

That's how I feel. It wasn't terrible, but it's a show that very easily should have been a 10/10 and it was like a 7 or 7.5.

[@sandvicheatfresh]

most of the 1st episode was pretty good with obi wan being depressed, isolated quietly working away in a butchers or something and the scene with the clone beggar was nice (it really should have been a 212th legion clone since that's the company he led), when vader kept killing villagers and the scene where vader yanks the ship out of the sky and tears it apart was great and really felt like him.

[@captainuseless2120]

Honestly, Vader killing the villagers was so out of character. He's a bad dude, but he was never a purveyor of senseless violence for it's own sake. He'd choke people to intimidate everyone else in the room. Or kill incompetent commanders to make sure someone else does the job better. It was almost always calculated, and when it wasn't, his violence came as a result of temper, but that requires the victim to piss him off first. It made him dangerous because you knew that he is in control of his actions, and utterly ruthless in his pursuit of the Rebelion. Here, he just kills random innocents, because..... reasons?? And it honestly degrades his character, making him just another bad guy who just kills people because he's bad and evil and no good and very bad.

[@sandvicheatfresh]

[@maja.z.pszczola]

While watching the last episode, I remember watching Vader’s last scene, and it felt slightly off to me so I started thinking what it was. I realized it was a very simple thing - Vader sitting when talking to the Emperor. I haven’t read all of the books and comics, but in the movies we have always seen Vader kneel in front of Palpatine. So here, I feel like this simple change would be perfect thematically. In that scene we are in Vaders Mustafar Castle, a place where he complete dominion, and control over the Inquisitors but when The Emperor calls, he has to get up from his throne and kneel next to it. His power here is an illusion, he has no authority, he only serves Palpatine…

[@Tiran654LP]

Well, in the comics hes also not always kneeling to the emperor. Also the emperor calls Vader very often his "friend"

@@Tiran654LP In some comics of the old EU, it almost seemed that Palpatine was also human: in one story, he addressed a future imperial guard during his training, and addressed him with almost paternal words, which honestly surprised me, given that in the films he is always shown as devious, treacherous and evil to the core, without any "positive" connotation, or at least empathetic on the part of the public.

fair

[@mr.mittens9123]

I really don't like that it's 10 years later. It was always hard to believe that Obi-wan aged as badly as he did in 20 years but the aging is even harder to believe now. Doesn't help that Ewan barely aged in nearly 20 years.

[@r00kie36]

I am not sure if you are someone who also reads novels, but I personally love how Vader's internal character is portrayed in Timothy Zahns "Thrawn: Alliances". It shows him cruel, cold, calculating but when he comes in contact with people that "The Jedi" had strong emotional connections to, it boils up and over, and makes him act more irrational, emotional and hateful. I think this is a really cool twist on the classic "demon within", because here the demon is actually the supressed good guy, embedded in the darkness of vader.

[@gephicka]

i feel like it somewhat makes sense because of how little Anakin/Vader would have to address his feelings about Obi-Wan it makes sense that someone who was his master and basically his brother who he sees as a traitor and the person who made him wear the vader suit would kinda revert to his older state rather than the cooler, more in control vader you don't just get almost murdered by your brother and lose your wife and not have any remaining trauma years later- especially if you never have to face it

[@loveoffilm4327]

I actually think Vader did have a character arc and just like Obi Wan he couldn't let go of Anakin because of his hatred of Obi Wan but losing a second time or perhaps Obi Wan apologizing allowed him to let go of that last shred of Anakin

[@saifsufian4286]

I love how you make these types of videos, I think when things come out so many different factors that affect our opinions on things when they come out, crowd reaction, backlash, bias, and expectations.

[@stewjonjedi]

@20:20 Obi-Wan being in the bottom of a pit barely keeping the rocks above him from crushing him was symbolic. The more he dwelt on his failures the more the rocks (aka guilt, shame, regret) weighed down on him, keeping him in the pit that his apprentice had put him. Only by letting go of his guilt was Obi-Wan able to push away the things that were weighing him down. When he jumped out of that pit, that was the moment when Obi-Wan was himself again.

[@mythic_Tisiphone]

Congrats, you are writing the script for the actual writers

[@r00kie36]

Well, it is definitely refreshing to hear someone actually praise this series. Personally, I can't stand it, but I really enjoy that you acknowledge the glaring missteps, and I feel happy for you that you can enjoy the series for what it is. For me, eventhough I like the way they handled Obi-Wans and Vaders main arcs, there is just such a vast amount of inconsistencies to how they and others are portrayed in existing media, that I sometimes actually laughed out while watching a serious scene. In my head, and supported by his march into town - my favorite scene from the series, Vader in episode 3 is pure hatred. It is like you were in pain for weeks or months, and finally you found the cause. I loved how he just kills random people in the street, thinking that it would bring the Jedi Obi-Wan out of hiding to protect the common folk, and that it likely would have worked if Obi-Wan himself wasnt that deep down in his depression. I like how he absolutely mauls Obi-Wan every chance he gets, although the shot composition in their duel scenes is awful, and Vader jump scares, with him walking on metal feet and breathing loud af just feel out of place. But what you pointed out as a minor break of character for me felt like a slap in the face. We see Vader maul and mutilate Obi-Wan for like half an hour, dragging him through fire he himself lit. But when someone else lights that same fire, he just stands there and watches the source of all his pain, anger and suffering walk away. In that moment I was honestly waiting for a "waking up from meditation" sequence, because I could not believe that anyone would shoot something like this. Even worse tho, is how they handled the finale of the final fight. I didnt mind the new earth-bendy force powers as much as others. They felt a little out of place, but it didn't ruin the scene for me. I thought the lighting and cinematography was atrocious, but thats not what I want to discuss. Why on earth would Obi-Wan leave Darth Vader alive after besting him in combat? I loved the dialogue in the scene and it made me emotional seeing ewan react to Obiwan freeing himself from most of the guilt that had plagued him. But in that moment, Obi-Wan should not be conflicted about killing Darth Vader. This obiwan should be close to the same obi-wan that said "I will do what I must", even when that same Darth Vader still looked and acted like his friend, apprentice and brother. Why, god why couldnt they write a scene where Obi-Wan after learning that Anakin is forever lost tries to finish off vader, but is stopped by force of nature, by vader and his dark side powers in the end, or by the rest of the imperial forces, who wouldnt just watch their leader get killed... Like this, Obi-Wan frees himself of the guilt of having caused Anakins transition into darth vader, but he takes on the guilt of not having stopped the uncountable dark deeds that vader would do after that moment. It feels so out of place, and in such a pivotal moment in the series, that I for one can't bring myself to rewatch it. However, I would love to hear other's personal head canon as to why Obi-Wan did what he did. Maybe it helps me come to terms with how it is, maybe it reaffirms my beliefs. But I would love to talk with anyone about it here :)

This is what I said immediately after the scene ended. How could he possibly leave him alive a second time?

The one thing that would need to change. Perhaps when Kenobi asks Tala to take Leia to the transport so he can confront Vader and see if he’s Anakin, it is here where Leia slips Lola in Ben’s cloak. Then when Reva questions Obiwan in Inquisitorious, she finds the droid in his cloak and puts a tracker on it. Of course, do we need Kenobi to have Lola on the moon when he confronts Vader? We just won’t have Leia more excited to see Lola than Ben when he visits them in the end.

[@Jansenbaker]

That rewrite would have been far better. I actually felt something a few times there. All the weird things, conveniences, and occasional lazy dialogue compounded into me feeling the show doesn't care. I couldnt see Obi-Wan, just Ewan. The directing was another part of it.

You've mentioned a lot of cool details, which were valid, but personally for me all of them were overshadowed by inconsistency and laziness in writing. I just couldn't ignore bullshit when I see it on screen, and there were A LOT of bullshit moments and decisions. I wish Disney would understand that allocating more resources to production of such highly anticipated series is a must.

Honestly, a lot of my frustrations with this show come down to story choices that contradict a lot of what we know in Star Wars lore. For example: -Obi-Wan and Vader meeting even though A New Hope established their battle on the Death Star was the first time they had seen each other. -Leia and Obi-Wan meeting despite the fact that A New Hope implies they’ve never met. -Obi-Wan being rusty in his force powers despite part of the reason him being on Tatooine is so he can further his training in the Force.

Great analysis of a mixed bag of a series..you didn't sh!t all over it but you also carefully analyzed the critical points in valid ways. This was a show I had very high expectations for and was not fully satisfied with.. but it wasn't ALL bad.

It's so strange to see such a variety of opinions on this show in the comments. Some of y'all have really turned to the dark side and trash on this show way too hard, but I do understand the frustration. I personally really like this show, I think Kenobi and Vader are great, I think it adds to Ep4 and Ep6 rather than take away from them like some believe, and it mostly works for me. It is full of missed potential still, but I don't think it was a waste at all.

[@lukeluke333lukeluke]

I was very disappointed in Obi-Wan Kenobi show. I don't hate it blindly. I've watched the edited version of the series and it helps improves the show but I still have issues with it as a whole. I like your edits as well. There was so much potential in the show to be great/amazing which is way I'm more critical and think it failed. Lastly. There's a few bright spots in the show but now reflating on the series. All I can think is Imagine if ObI-Wan had the same treatment as Andor.

[@moonlight_antonio]

I can totally see where you're coming from in this video, and I don't think I've ever heard a perspective quite like this before, so I want to first say that I really do appreciate hearing your take on this show. For me, I think there are so many things that just don't make sense from a plot perspective. Obi-wan should never have left Luke and Tatooine in general, Leia should've never been involved in this story and shouldn't have met Obi-Wan, if this show is set 10 years after ROTS, Obi-Wan should know that Darth Vader is alive, or am I to believe that for 10 years Vader's name never reached Tatooine until Reva tells Obi-Wan that he's alive???, and that Vader just sat there doing nothing until this particular point in time??? Something's a bit off there. Vader knows who Reva is, and that she knows that he is Anakin Skywalker, but he just lets her live...Huh??? Even if Vader is having an emotional struggle, and inner turmoil, he's also still the angry, hateful, vengeful, murdering Sith Lord that will not hesitate to kill anyone who knew he was Anakin. Obi-Wan has to rush back over to Tatooine to save Luke and his family from being potentially killed by Reva, when the truth of the matter is, he should've never left Tatooine in the first place, and Leia shouldn't have been in this story. Why is Obi-Wan NOW able to lift all of these big rocks and throw them at Vader, when in the OT, he never displayed such strength in the force before. Obi-Wan was not naturally gifted with the force, and had to train really hard to get to where he was in ROTS. I mean, to be able to just do a powerful force push on general Grievous, was hard for him, but he trained hard and achieved that, but now all of a sudden, he can lift these huge rocks with relative ease??? I'm not even going to go there with Reva. Also, Qui-gon never finished his training with the wills, so how is he appearing as a force ghost to Obi-Wan...Though I will admit, it was good to see Liam Neeson reprise his roll as Qui-gon Jin. I could go on and on but you get what I mean. The story of a Jedi who failed his apprentice, being depressed, having nightmares of his failures, and losing his connection with the force, only then to go on a journey to find himself again and be the protecter and leader that he once was, is good, but it was poorly executed, in my opinion. I'm just not sold on how this show makes any sense from a plot standpoint.

[@samkornrumph8545]

Agreed. I don’t think Obi-Wan needed to leave Tattoine in order to find himself. And the whole cutting himself off from the force was dumb and completely out of character. I’m fine with him being depressed and trying to work through his trauma, but 10 years?! Really?! Obi-Wan isn’t one to sulk and give up. Maybe having the show set 1 or 2 years after ROTS would have made more sense, especially with him finding out that Darth Vader survived. Maybe instead of a duel between Kenobi and Vader just show flash backs to sparring sessions and missions that the 2 of them went on or missions with Qui Gon.

[@moonlight_antonio]

@@samkornrumph8545 I agree, cutting himself off from the force after master Yoda had told him to communicate with Qui Gon from the nether realm of the force, was stupid. How can you do that if you cut yourself off from the force?! I think if they had done the flashbacks more instead of Obi-Wan and Vader fighting, it would've made for a more interesting story that focuses on Obi-Wan's path to excepting what happened in order 66 and his failure with Anakin. I think it would've definitely fleshed out the continued story of Obi-Wan so much better.

[@samkornrumph8545]

@@moonlight_antonio It’s kinda funny when you think about it. Disney makes TLJ, then receives massive backlash from the fans and Mark Hamill on the treatment of Luke Skywalker cutting himself off from the force, sulking by himself, and considering murdering his nephew in his sleep. Then Disney decides to make a series about Obi-wan during his exile. So they think “How can we make a show the fans will enjoy? I got it! Let’s do the same thing that we did with Luke in TLJ that half the fans hated and divided the fandom, but let’s not make him an attempted murderer.” Wow can’t imagine why people don’t like the show. I’m fine with these characters going through bad situations and then having depression after the fact, but just stop making them pathetic and act out of character.

[@matti.8465]

I'd argue Reva works because she shows what Anakin could have been, someone who was on the same dark path but was able to make the right choice before it was too late. Obi Wan couldn't save Anakin, but he could save Reva

[@briandarnell1195]

Great analysis and synopsis. I like your changes and your more balanced review.

[@JacqueBruce0]

I honestly hate this show, however the person who edited down into a film (Kai Patterson) actually made it watchable. I feel as though if Darth Vader and Obi Wan didn’t fight each other but saw each other a single time at the end of the show it would have been a more powerful and heart wrenching moment. I also think bringing Leia in was a mistake. Imagine if instead of bringing Leia in they instead followed through with their original idea of Obi Wan and Commander Cody reuniting and hunting Darth Maul and his crime syndicate. They would’ve been able to make a more mature show and a more thought provoking one, but Disney has to pander towards their desired audience of children. They forget that the vast majority of their audience is over 20 now, and we desperately need a Star Wars show that takes itself seriously (like Andor but with light sabers). Again the film cut is superior, because of it I will never rewatch the series. I just wish they made a series good enough for a rewatch.

The Kenobi tv show (plus this review after thinking back to years ago) along with everything else we’ve gotten since 2014. Made realize something. As much I miss George Lucas’s personal directorial touch on the franchise. However before George Lucas sold the rights to Star Wars. I always remember wanting more official stories out of the franchise. Yet George Lucas after the Prequels/The Clone Wars constant criticisms. I can’t imagine him wanting to make more Star Wars movies or shows. Now thinking about all of the things we gotten since the buy out. Star Wars fans (regardless of the objective quality of what we got) have more movies and tv shows then we’ve ever gotten before. It is truly a plentiful time to be a Star Wars fan. Again regardless of whether or not you liked any of the movies or shows. It is truly an wonderfully strange time indeed. Also the Kenobi show is decent/pretty good at times.

To me, the duel flashbacks are more than just a chance to throw in some prequel nostalgia, it's the point of no return for both of them. That's why they both think back to that specific practice duel throughout the episode. That was the moment they subconsciously realized who the other was and what their relationship truly meant. Vader was always a part of Anakin, and Obi-wan was always the one to appose him. They both subconsciously realized this during that practice duel, but only in hindsight do they both understand what that duel truly was in defining who they were. Even better, you can see where Anakin was mentally at that time, with beliefs that were only strengthened by the Clone Wars, which may or may not have been what Palpatine had planned for him from the beginning. There's a lot of fun layers to the flashbacks for sure....

[@loganmickelson2415]

19:58 The character development from Obiwan being crushed by the rocks was not on based in his passion to save Leia directly but rather obiwan forgiving himself for what happened to Anakin. If you recall the show before he thinks of Liea, you hear audio of a Anakins gradual fall to the darks side. This is why obiwan fails the first attempt of escaping the boulders above him. But like quigon, he meditates deeper to what truly matters and recalls his true purpose, to protect anakins children. This connects him to the force and in turn, allows him to lift the boulders that had him trapped.

[@andrelamotte9002]

The best part about the show became the worst part: Leia. I feel like Leia & Obi-wan having such a close relationship kinda altered my perception of ANH, and not in a good way.

As someone who was underwhelmed with how Obi-Wan Kenobi played out, I really want a season 2 because there's so much potential to not only correct a lot of the story's mistakes but also further the character into his evolution from "Ewan McGregor" into "Alec Guinness." I especially think that if they included Maul in this journey it could do wonders beyond just fan service. We could learn more about Crimson Dawn (& how Maul lost it to Qi'ra) as well as how Obi-Wan learned to forgive the unforgivable as he seemed to genuinely harbor no ill will against the man who took both his master & lover by Rebels.

I disagree about your assessment of Palpatine and Vader. Palpatine threatening Vader to not pursue Obi Wan anymore, precisely achieved the mission of keeping Vader angry. The risk that Vader finds and kills Obi Wan, and achieves peace, means there is a chance Vader might turn back towards good. Alternatively, the risk that Obi Wan defeats Vader, means Palpatine will be humiliated publicly with his right hand man defeated, and he will then be vulnerable for growing resistance against himself. It makes perfect sense for Palpatine to tell Vader to let Obi Wan go.

[@colororb4105]

I have an argument for how Obi-Wan has some responsibility for Darth Vader. Obi-Wan was too attached to going on adventures with his closest friend. He let that attachment overpower his duty to report that Anakin was secretly married. While it would hurt a lot in the moment, being forced out of the Jedi Order is the best thing that could ever happen to Anakin. Anakin would be so much happier if he didn't need to keep his love a secret! The Jedi Order was doing nothing for Anakin other than inflating his unhealthy ego (especially after Ashoka left). And Anakin and Obi-Wan could still be together in their free time. Darth Vader never would have happened if Obi-Wan had the courage to do his job. Unrelated, but I understand Vader letting Reva live. Reva was shown to not be any threat to Vader, she barely inconvenienced him in their "fight". Afterwards, Vader said Reva was so weak she wasn't even worth killing (but in his poetic, Vader-y way).
