Obi Wan Kenobi

[Djgb13 2,339]

Anyone watched this series on Disney + yet? They have parts 1 & 2 up right now in case you guys haven’t checked it out yet  

[Strike 6,017]

Thanks.  Started them downloading. 

[BeenHereBefore 1,584]

Looks pretty good and may have to watch.

[edjr 6,898]

No. I did watch the 1st part of the George Carlin documentary on HBO Max

Ewan McGregor sucks.  That fake beard they put on him in Episode 3 to make him look like Sir Alec Guiness was stupid.

[Utilit99 4,099]

I'm looking forward to it.

Rather than wait for McGregor to beard-up again, Lucas opted to put the actor in a fake beard for re-shoots

Just watched the first 2.  Enjoyed them

Turns out uncle owen is gender fluid and Darth vader wears nylons under his armor..a little woke..but not bad

[KSB2424 3,173]

I dig all the Marvel and Star Wars stuff.  It’s something me and both my young boys can watch together.  

[TommyGavin 790]

No I’m a grown up. - I actually only saw the first 3 movies. 

[kutulu 1,703]

I'm an Obi from Kenobi 

[EternalShinyAndChrome 4,339]

Little Princess Leaha is annoying as .  The character arc she has is absurd - what a brat.

Also, the whole chasing after someone and doing cool flips and leaps is ridiculous.  Way to break momentum to do a flip so you can look cool.  

Other than that, not too bad.

[Utilit99 4,099]

It's not bad at all. I'll watch the whole thing. It's way too early in the series to say, but Mandalorian was much more engaging. 

The two characters I dislike so far are Leia and that Moses chick. And not a good hate in terms of the show. For instance, Breaking Bad was a show in which I hated every character, but they were awesome. Leia and Moses not so much.

I bet Obi is a picker, walking around in the desert with all the dust.

the expectation is obi wan will take a back seat to leia and the female black inquisitor in his own show.  the guess is that this series ends with obi and vader in a fight but the black woman will intervene or something and stop them both.  maybe with assist from leia in secret or something.  just to show the men are weak and the women are strong.

[TommyGavin 790]

Do you have to have major knowledge of the Star Wars universe to enjoy this ? 

[JustinCharge 2,397]

its likely a political left wing mess.  i mean hell, ewan mcgregor is a flaming radical leftist.

[JustinCharge 2,397]

The actress that plays the black female inquisitor said in an interview:

To me, it’s long overdue. If you’ve got talking droids and aliens, but no people of color, it doesn’t make any sense. It’s 2022, you know. So we’re just at the beginning of that change. But I think to start that change is better than never having started it.”

Lando didn't exist to her (either version).
Mace didn't exist
Carl Weathers' character didn't exist.
the black bad guy in Mandolorian didn't exist.

She wants to say HER characters is the beginning of that change and to falsely insinuate that there were no people of color in Star Wars.  She could probably wiggle out of that, but its clear shes trying to lie about Star Wars past.

Is she reprising her role from the first movie in the cantina scene on Tatooine?

If you are like me, you dislike them, because NEITHER OF THEM CAN ACT!  They are both horrible.  There is the fantasy genre and then there is absurd---like the fantasy that a small little girl could out run anyone.  Seriously WTF---"Leia don't run away"--<Leia runs>, then realistically 1 step later---someone grabs her and says, "I told you not to run".  The little girl makes Jake Llyod look brilliant in the first prequel.  Moses seems to have Hayden Christian syndrome, totally wooden.  

So far I'm not really impressed with the story either - seems to be ripped off from pretty much every video game. Hope it gets better, cause I'm a big fan of Ewan and he deserves more than this.

[JustinCharge 2,397]

the official Star Wars account is already gaslighting their own fans by outright calling people racists if they dont like the black woman / diversion and incluelessness.

 

[Horseman 2,684]

Baby Leia is more annoying than Baby Yoda.  Enough of the baby bs.  

[Reality 3,121]

Not impressed so far and I really enjoyed the other 2 shows. I think it's the Jedi part, I've had enough Jedi stories, I want the other characters. If they happen upon a Jedi from time to time that's fine but, not as the main story line.

[JustinCharge 2,397]

the Star Wars twitter continues to go to war with its own fandom, having Ewan McGregor gaslight fans by saying anyone who has a problem with the black female inquisitor a racist and they should not be Star Wars fans.  What a dysfunctional ahole to create a TV show and then attack his own fans who are trying to like it.  

 

[Reality 3,121]

Arguing against nobody and attacking your own fans. Interesting move, should work out well.

It's amazing that you post what he said and still misinterpreted it.  Well done.

maybe what, 1% of the fandom mightve sent a racist tweet.  But they are going to focus on THAT and force Ewan McGregor to go out and attack "racist fans".  You KNOW damn well why they are doing it.  Because people hate being forced politics, diversity, and inclusion into their entertainment.  But if Disney attacks that 1% that are racist, now they can paint with a broad brush and say that anyone who dislikes politics in their Star Wars must be in that racist 1%.  

In short, they are trying to shut people up who dislike what is going on.  

Oh you hate politics in Star Wars.  YOU MUST BE RACIST!

And of course that loser Honcho is gonna be all on board with that.

 

 

we dont even know jf the "racists" are real people.  DIsney could send out 500 bots to make racist comments and then react to that.  There's no investigation, fact-checking.  We're just going by their word.  Its as manipulative as Hitler's reichstag fire.
