Obi-Wan Kenobi 1x6 | FULL UNCUT Reactions

Aaron Barlow

Obi Wan was given the horrible Luke from Last jedi treatment, turned into a weak, pessimistic, grumpy, depressed, bitter old man, a complete insult to his legacy. At least in the final episode he was redeemed and resumed his true nature and capabilities. I actually liked Reva's character arc but I agree with many that her attempt to kill the kids raised questions as how would she know they're Anakin's kids as Bail merely said '"the kids", secondly she hated Anakin for murdering younglings so her murdering his kids as revenge is a bit confusing, but I guess they needed a vehicle for her redemption where she's faced with a light side dark side choice. I think she'd make a good padawan for Obi.

What I love is that Vader here is so badly trying to convince himself that Anakin is all gone, but later on, he tells Luke, "I" am your father. But the person saying that physically CAN'T be Vader. We know Vader didn't conceive Luke and Leia with Padme, Vader came much later, Anakin did. So deep down, after trying to suppress Anakin's soul into nothingness, denying he still exists, to Obi-Wan, to Palpatine, to Ahsoka, Luke is the one who gets him to subtly admit Vader still has some Anakin, the one who wants Luke to join him, in him. Vader later says that name no longer has meaning to him, he denies there is any shred of good in him, but we see after Luke leaves that Vader is conflicted. I think Vader always felt trapped by his hate. It helps to remember when Anakin told Padme after learning the news that she was pregnant, "This is a happy moment. The happiest moment of my life." Wanting a child isn't something The Darkside took away from Anakin. Vader is depressed by his hate, because until he learns of Luke, he has no reason to return to the light. I hope people on YouTube will be able to tell what show this thumbnail is for without having to read the show title, which I assume would equal more clicks. People rely on face recognition so much for what they click. Obi-Wan will be so TINY! when the thumbnail is shrunk down to how it appears on the YouTube side bar in recommended videos in a web browser. No word on whether or not there will be a next season since this show was created with the intention of being a single season series, but Ewan has expressed a definite interest in doing more. I assume they just need to come up a good enough story to warrant another season where the story also isn't redundant, since it's suppose to be a while until Obi and Vader meet again in A New Hope. Personally I think a story of Obi-Wan facing off against Cad Bane again the other side Tatooine after all these years would be fun. You guys may be interested in watching the behind the scenes special for this show which premieres tomorrow.

Obi-wan breaks the left side of Vaders mask, then Ahsoka breaks the right side, and finally Luke takes Vaders mask off bringing Anakin back. Its a cool detail and makes it quite poetic.
