Obi-Wan Kenobi | Part 6 | Reaction!

I know I'm 2 weeks late in posting this, but did anyone get Malachor V (From KOTOR 2) vibes from the planet that Kenobi, and Vader fought on in this episode? Or, am I the only one?

Great reaction 💯💯💯💯💪💪

@Kyle Katarn totally agree! I get real sick of the Kathleen Kennedy hate train. She had a huge part in bringing Star Wars back after Lucas was done with it.

Now we all know why Vader have that huge gash in his head,what a slash to the head,asoka was on ly helmet,but this one hits the head big time

You know now looking back Han never really knew Obi Wan that well but now watching this show we now know who named Ben Solo 😉

Technically the left side of his head but our right.. Good catch though. 👍

I really get the feeling that Darth Vader needs to kill Obi wan to kill Anakin.

the giant scar on anakins head is already visible in Star Wars Episode 3 when anakin burns. I just checked it.

You literally took this from a site.

I said the same thing

Because it wasn't Obiwans fault. It was Anakin's. What I absolutely loathed about prequels was that this guys screaming at everyone else like sniveling edgelord becomes Darth Vader? Blaming everyone for his own actions and his own betrayal? This brat? He's a backstabbing weasel. How was this guy supposed to set up someone as calculating, ruthless, and intelligent as Darth Vader? But this scene really helped my biggest gripe with that trilogy. Actualization. He did those things. He wanted power. He wanted to kill. No one else. It's him. He's the loser. And in this scene...a complete and abject loser. It was oddly satisfying to watch.

I love seeing Vader smile beneath the mask. Makes you wonder at what other points in the series he was smiling. Or scowling. So good.

And the, then my friend is truly dead line. Just perfection

“You didn’t kill Anakin Skywalker”= This isn’t your fault “I did.”= It’s mine.

Either absolve Obi-wan of guilt or take the credit for himself as an evil psycho would do. Very interesting though. And amazing.

I don't know... At this point, Vader has done EVERYTHING he can you distance himself from "Anakin Skywalker" & try to forget he was ANYTHING BUT Vader. He's even begun to think of his past as Anakin as someone else. Whenever he remembered something from the past, he regarded it as "the Jedi's memories." He was pretty much completely Vader until he encountered Kenobi, then Ahsoka. Only LUKE was able to draw Anakin Skywalker back from the depths of "Vader."

@Karl Hood Also a fair point

people forget we dont hear the Imperial March until Empire

They both had to let go of each other to progress toward their opposite light/dark goals.

I didn’t think of that but I think you nailed it.

@Leyna Ripley Yes. I loved that movie and so much is left open. Hopefully it can lead into a tv series ( animated or live action) and we see more Han and Lando and see what Maul is doing

@Kat Del exactly. Or they need to wait for it to actually come out before they criticise it. For example Solo - people were dumping on that long before the movie came out because they couldn't see anyone other than Harrison Ford as Han. And I enjoyed Solo and will be forever bummed that whatever sequel they were clearly eluding to will never happen

@Phil 100%. People were doing the same in the Mandalorian (eg. "Why are they saying Mandalorians can't take off their helmets, we've seen them without them.": explained in season 2). The writers (especially Filoni) are massive Star Wars nerds and will definitely know all the same things that people are questioning and have/will have answers

@Phil Yeah people really have to wait for things to be finished first before they criticize. I feel like so many movie trilogies have died after the first movie because people hated on the first one so much. And along with that sometimes producers or executives will take the wrong piece of criticism and run with it.

@Leyna Ripley - The clearest example of that were the people complaining after every episode about things breaking canon, only for it to be explained later on in the show. Like Reva knowing about Anakin, or the Grand Inquisitor being dead, or when parts of the last episode's plot were leaked and people thought Luke was going to see a lightsaber. No patience, only rage.

It's mastercraft.

even Sebastian Shaw's voice was in there a moment.

best end of a season ever

Yes! We got the same reaction

@Larniie Playz i meant it was another cool thing to witness

@mike WIZZ obviously

@GrubbyArmadillo 98 ?

@G.S Actually the same shit we have right now with Moses. This is so wrong man.. her Reva is fantastic. The level of her acting is very impressive.

@Luca Symulacje it’s pretty sad considering he was just 19 at that time and straight out of high school he said in one interview. Must feel bad to get media backlash at that age

Not one of. HE IS Vader. The one and only. Hayden was born to play Anakin/Vader. After 20 years I still cannot believe there was so much hate in a prequel times on his acting... I fuckin love prequels since day 1 they launched the movies in theatres.

@DS_the_RN That was my hope, that he had matured in his acting in the intervening years, and glad to say it appears he has. I'm delighted he's been given another chance and to show naysayers - like I have been - that he is a capable actor. And yes its always great to see enthusiasm from actors who come into the franchise, like Ewan and Hayden, Sam Witwer, Rosario Dawson etc etc. Even a-listers who are willing to go uncredited to play stormtroopers, like Tom Hardy or Daniel Craig. They are as big fans of this silly franchise, as we are! :D

@Saltire - he has definitely matured as an actor. Thank goodness we got this portrayal. I saw him and Ewan at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim in May and both of them seemed truly excited to be in this series. I’m so happy.

Its like poetry, it rhymes. ;)

nicely spotted Steven M

Youre a true fan

Obiwan broke the left side of Vader mask. Ahsoka broke the right side. Mmmm.

I love this comment. a thumbs up is not enough.

Yes, this is probably now of the top three scenes in all of the Star Wars footage. The fight on Cloud City and then Vader losing to Luke after threatening Leia are the other two. It's that good.

@Jesse Owen Villamor And Bob Anderson.

Long life to the King Hayden

His voice was amazing in that part.. I know they used both James and Hayden for it but even when Hayden was talking.. his cadence was brilliant.

And David Prowse

@red666 I thought it was the biggest and harshest trash talk he could give - You fought to kill your friend, you fought to kill me, and failed. I am the one that killed your friend. It's you who's the failure, every time.

@Over Driver he let DV live because as much as he believes anakin is gone, he still can’t bring himself to do it. That’s why he didn’t finish anakin off in ROTS, he couldn’t do it himself so he let him burn. He didn’t kill him here for the same reason, he just can’t do it. And he didn’t say anything about his kids because, what if it didn’t change anakin? What if it didn’t work? Vader would know and tell palpatine, and everything would be BEYOND fucked. Way too big of a risk, just for a CHANCE for anakin to comeback. And a miniscule one at that.

meh still though this show is mediocre and not well thought out. WHY would Obi Wan just let DV live??? Why didnt Obi tell Anikan about his kids here.... he could have prevented a lot of deaths and misery, they would have killed the emperor together...

@jimmy crackedcornCant argue with such logic of yours yea I surrender u r absolutely right the show is called Obi-wan not REVA

@jimmy crackedcorn this tbh. I remember season 2 of mandalorian, people wanted blood after episode 2 and we got ice spiders instead of immediately getting Boba Fett

There's nothing in EP IV to suggest Like had never seen a lightsaber before. Even if he'd seen Reva wielding hers, that doesn't mean he'd immediately recognize another object as the hilt of a lightsaber, especially one that looks so different.

@Joseph Carr Nonsense. Blindly hating on Disney doesn't make you cool or relevant.

@Leon Russell You are just inferring that. Nowhere in the movies does it say that they didn't know each other. Luke even says "I'm here with Ben Kenobi", so she knew that it was the same person, unlike Luke when he first heard the name Obi-Wan.

@Joseph Carr I was personally glad that Uncle Owen didn’t kill Reva. Which, wounded, or not, would make ZERO SENSE. But, to think that in the Legends he KILLED MAUL?!! The SAME MAUL that killed Qui Gon Jin & took out Pre Vizsal?!! …GTFOH!!🤭 One more reason I am glad that Disney hit the reset button on the EU.😊

@Cintia Morales Zabala I saw Ewan and Hayden at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim just last month and they both seemed genuinely excited to be together and in this series. Man, this was so good.

Hayden even more great

@Cintia Morales Zabala chills 🥶

I said that exact thing to my friend today. That was Oscar winning acting right there by Ewan

still though, Why didnt Obi tell Anikan about his kids here.... he could have prevented a lot of deaths and misery, they would have killed the emperor together...

we've all been there, i only realized vader voice blending with anakin's when he said "I'm not your failure obi wan". But while rewatching it, i then realized it in happened in "Anakin is gone, I'm what remains"

Yeah, his head was already outside and facing away by the time she entered the room. The only thing that I see that could possibly have him suspecting is the noise the lightsaber made and even then he would likely write that off for years and years.

@KaleFGB Well it could be great for some, and not for others.

"Great series"? bruh, expectations have really fallen off

Same!

I was expecting a plea from Obi Wan to return to the light, an apology and finally forgiving himself was an even better path to go on. Very well written for all the characters involved.

@Justin Alexander same

I don't think i have ever cried of happiness or if i even can, but i sure did cheer, scream, and applaud a lot when these happened

Qui gons appearance was so satisfying!

Facts. I cried when anakin voice crack outside the helmet, and I was in tears and cheering from there

few surprises at the end too! All round Amazing show! Easily one of my favorite Star Wars series.

@BlairLSK The bridge from the prequels to the trilogy.

Because I grew up with the originals, my preference is always for Ep 4-6 over 1-3, but this series has made the prequels better movies and underlined what a fundamentally good story those movies were built around.

Yes. I had my doubts about it after the fourth episode, but they nailed it. It hasn't been perfect, but aside from Empire, no Star Wars is. It has its flaws, but also moments of true greatness that far outweigh the negatives. Going to rewatch the series over the weekend.

Heartily agree.

Why didnt Obi tell Anikan about his kids here.... he could have prevented a lot of deaths and misery, they would have killed the emperor together...

I'm still crying at "I'm sorry... I'm sorry Anakin, for all of it." 😢😢😢

That's Star Wars for ya. This show got me amped for SW again. Good Job guys lol.

There seemed to be a tinge of sorrow in Anakin's voice. Like, he knows he is doomed and sees no way out of it. He is Palpatine's slave.

Vader coming off the ship to find Obi Wan already there, mirrors the start of the Mustafar duel but in the inverse.

I hate the Star Wars fan base. So very toxic.

@Nick F. grogu is pure nostalgia bait because its just a worse yoda Ashoka, boba and luke show up, complete fanservice Din isnt dead because he has plot armour, his armour has so many gaps yet he can run down a corridor and take hundreds of blaster shots and they all just so happen to hit the beskar, he also gets his head punched through a wall by the darktrooper and somehow survives When he's on top of the transport dressed in imperial armour, the pirates only have sticks for some reason You clearly weren't paying attention, you were probably too busy clapping at a reference 👏

@Leon Russell what fan service? And plot armor? You mean beskar lol

@Leon Russell lmao absolutely wrong.

@Joshua Valentine fallen order was pretty good, so good that kenobi had to rip it off Just because Disney keeps making star wars stuff, doesn't mean its well written Its a licence to print money because people will clap at every little reference to better films

i hope they wont this series was utterly crap.

As for what I thought about the series as a whole, I feel that Reva's introduction was rocky in the beginning and could have been handled a bit better, as it took until episode 5 for us to see WHY she was the way she was. I think if that scene in Episode 1 of the younglings running from the Clone Troopers, had ended with Reva remembering it, the audience would have understood why she was the way she was right out the gate. Just my 2 cents.

Nice catch! That makes that scene in ROTJ even more meaningful

A comment from the wise.🙂

Another comment pointed out too. That it actually shows growth for Anakin/Vader because how much did he wine in Episodes II and III about everything being other people's fault. Here he is accepting no I did this

@That1Guy129 Yeah looool. I was just waiting for him to show up.

And Liam lying all this time saying that he wasn't gonna be in it. SHUT UP🤣 we all knew he was lying 🤣

Why didnt Obi tell Anikan about his kids here.... he could have prevented a lot of deaths and misery, they would have killed the emperor together...

duh there was, his face even turns blue, he was a very twisted person even from when he was little.

And if you have force abilities, you can probably screw Vader up by force pushing all the buttons of his control panel! 😂😂😂

If Vader is distracted because he would know your moves.

@Zachary Jackson Vader usually keeps that pretty well protected, this duel added so much to their understated fight in New Hope. This series enhanced both trilogies.

going for center mass like that isnt easy. a person's chest is the easiest spot on their bodies to protect. That's why in most cases melee fights usually involve going for the limbs, head, and other outer extremities

notice his face was covered with Obi's blue saber light when he said that, almost like he was returning to his former self when he said it, but his red saber light took back over when he went back to the vader persona

only thing that was missing is battle of heroes

I loved it too, but I think it’s best to leave it where it is. Trying to do too much will just ruin it. How about a spinoff about the path so that way we can either see some other Jedi like Quinlan Vos or former Jedi?

that does not say much the writing is still crap> Why didnt Obi tell Anikan about his kids here.... he could have prevented a lot of deaths and misery, they would have killed the emperor together...

@sh0cktim3 True.. I hate to say it but.. for ONCE Disney knew what they were doing in this show... I think they finally listened to the fans BUT DIDNT do FAN service.. They did a happy medium.. enough to make the hardcore fans happy.. but also enough to invite a new audience in.. AND to leave it open... I think the coolest thing.. is if they did a season 2 and Darth MAUL was in it! That's ANOTHER battle that needs to happen IN LIVE ACTION ! lol.

The classic music was best saved for the end. Made it more epic and worth the wait.

Obi-wan said: lemme respec to telekinesis sage real quick

was it? haha it was fucking boring, the focus should not have been on Reva, this show should have been OBI WAN trying to bring Anikan back to the light.

@Over Driver and that's the whole point of the story. A good story needs conflict. To have conflict, you need imperfect characters making arguably bad choices. The whole Injustice arc with Batman came out because of the very question you asked. The whole Obi Wan being too much of a pacifist is why Ahsoka no longer claims to be a Jedi. The Jedi are hypocritical, and that's a recurring theme in Star Wars. That's why I don't mind Obi Wan not killong Darth Vader so much because it ties in with the main story theme. The Jedi are hypocritical, and the Sith are too cruel

@Jay Albert Castigador hahaha but the Batman never killing Joker is not protecting life, by letting someone like JOker or DV go, how are you protecting lives that way? hahahaha okay.

@Over Driver Obi Wan is the symbol of the old Jedi ways. "A Jedi is supposed to protect life, not take it". Very similar to Batman and Joker. Batmam refuses to kill Joker because it's against his principles. Are all the Batman comics poorly written then because he refuses to kill evil villains? Obi Wan doesn't strike me as someone who takes life, even for heinous villains unless absolutely necessary (like Maul finding out about Luke). He is a man of principles, and one of that is not being the judge, jury, and executioner to every evil doer out there. He was willing to have a nice, calm chat with Maul and even to let him go, until Maul threatened Luke. Killing Vader doesn't change the grand scheme of things: Bringing balance to the force and defeating the Emperor. You kill the Emperor's main enforcer and he'll just find another one. He is already frustrated with Vader since he didn't even give him the best cybernetics money has to offer. Telling Vader about his kids is a risky play. What if Vader doesn't turn? Then what? I already discussed why Obi Wan doesn't wanna kill Vader. Vader is highly likely to tell Palpatine, or worse yet, Palpatine finds out by reading Vader's emotions. Obi Wan can't protect Luke and Leia from the Emperor. All hope would be extinguished. This fight wasn't about killing. It was a symbolic "burying the hatchet" for Obi Wan. A lot of the scenes in the series are of Obi Wan being racked with guilt, wondering what he could have done to prevent Anakin from turning. Vader saying that he killed Anakin gave Obi Wan closure. He is no longer bound to the past. He can look forward to the future now. Being a pacifict by principle, he lets Vader live. His main task now is to train and protect Anakin's children. Obi Wan isn't the type to lead a rebellion on a large scale fighting against the Empire either, otherwise he would have had plenty of contacts in Episode IV A New Hope. He is only guided by his principles and the will of the Force, which tells him that Luke and Leia are the key to the future. It ties in perfectly with the story beats of the original trilogy. Obi Wan is a flawed being bound by his principles. That to me is a more compelling story than someone who makes the absolute best logical choice in every given situation. You want a character like that? Go and read about Admiral Thrawn
