TIL Karen Fukuhara (Kimiko on The Boys) voiced F in The Village Bride. I’d love to see her reprise the role in live action someday, especially since that Visions episode slots into canon pretty well.

Honestly bringing back Darth Maul was one of the best thing dave filoni ever did. even if it sounded dumb on paper maul went from being a cool looking character without much of a personality to one of the most fleshed out characters in the series. i hope we get too see more of him in future

Finished Obi wan and have a couple of questions
Like the title says just finished the show and have a couple questions I hope you guys could clear up for me! Thx in advance!How did reva survive order 66 as a child after being run through by Darth Vader How did reva train her self in the force ? How did reva discover the connection between Bail and Obi ? How did the grand inquisitor and Reva survive being impaled( why wasn’t qui gon taught this art?)? How did reva get to tatonine? How did Liea fix a door she never saw before ? Why did Obi let Reva go? Even if she is good now, she was just a inquisitor and knows about Luke and leia? Thx againEdit: More questions. Why didn’t Vader check to make sure Reva was dead both times? Why didn’t Vader stop the second ship, he CLEARY could of. Why did Vader let kenobi escape after there first duel, could he not use the force through fire? How was Luke not emotionally scared by being chased by a maniac? How did kenobi go from having trouble moving an object with the force to full Jedi power in a short time. What was that trench coat scene??? How did no one see leia? via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/4ZQWtMl
Obiwan. Ignore the naysayers, it's fantastic. No spoilers.
No spoilers here. If you're not sure about it, just give it a chance. I grew up on the OT, despised the prequels. TCW helped with that, they're still pretty bad as movies go, but that show helped plug the story holes in those movies.The Obiwan series is spectacular. Visually stunning, emotionally gut wrenching, and the action is top notch. The storyline feels a bit strange at first, till you figure it out. Then it all comes together beautifully.And Vader... The brutality. The rage, and sheer power. It will give you goosebumps.Watch it. That is all. via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/rSlHZGV
What I really wanted to have happen to Reva, but Disney definitely wouldn't let this fly
When Reva was hunched over and had her light saber in her hands and was about to set it down after giving Luke back over, I really wanted to see her just activate the saber through her chest right there. It would have been epic to see her not be able to cope with who she realized she had become after she was so hellbent on taking down Vader. She didn't deserve any redemption and from a story perspective it was weak to let her off the hook. If Reva decided she couldn't live with herself it would have been a far more interesting conclusion to her story and been something no one would expect from this show. But I get that Disney would not let something like that be a part of the show. via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/WxVMwab

Vader WANTS death.
Maybe I’m alone on this train of thought, but after exploring more of Vader’s character throughout the comics it seems clear to me that Vader wants to die. As we know, the thing Vader hates most, is himself.The way I interpret the end of their fight in Obi-Wan, when Vader is screaming “Obi-Wan!” I think he is basically asking for him to not leave him again, and finish the job. He clearly was in no state to fight, or else he would’ve continued to fight Obi-Wan.At this point I believe Vader is fully aware he has been fooled by the Emperor, and there is nothing he can do to change it. So he continues to serve blindly. It isn’t until Luke arrives where perhaps Vader sees more to life than dying and serving. As he initially wants Luke to join him, so they can rule the galaxy as father and son.He sees that his son will not make the same mistake that he once did, and in the end is willing to DIE for his son. His last act, as a Jedi.Do you agree? Lmk what you think. via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/8NZBFQu

Leia naming her son Ben finally makes some sense.
I think what the season finale has done either unintentionally or by design has created a direct relationship ship between Leia and Kenobi. The storyline of Kenobi doesn't really make sense when I think of Leia reaching out to Ben in a New Hope as she does it so formally as if she hasn't met him before. via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/VqCbAuL
My only complaint about Kenobi…
Is the fact that all the action sequence felt like they were filmed on a handheld iPhone, way to much shaky cam. via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/n1NquXb
One thing I picked up from the series is that people need to stop injuring others and then leaving them for dead. If you haven't watched them die, they're probably not dead.
Obi Wan did it to Anakin at the end of RotS and spent ten years believing that he was dead. Obviously he intended for him to die. But he didn't, and it turned out that the crazy, powerful, Jedi-hunting Sith Lord terrorising the galaxy was Anakin.Lesson learnt? Nope, he does the exact same thing again, leaving Anakin to continue his reign of terror despite knowing what he has become. Anything that Vader does now is partially Obi Wan's responsibility.Anakin buried Obi Wan in rocks and left him to die. He was winning the fight, and if he had just checked that Obi Wan was actually dead he could have done so. But no, he allowed Obi Wan the chance to escape and sneak up on him. He then lost the fight and could have been killed.Reva stabbed the Grand Inquisitor in exactly the same way she was stabbed as a child and survived. She knew that it was possible to survive such a wound, whether through dark side powers or not, so she really should have made sure that she followed through. Leaving him alive ended up being part of her undoing.I'm not sure if Anakin really intended to Kill Reva the second time or not, but leaving her alive almost inadvertently led to the death of the son he didn't yet know he had. If she had gone through with the murder of Luke, and if she had told him about it (which I assume she would, otherwise it's a pretty pathetic revenge) then he would have regretted not killing her properly.I know it looks cool to dramatically walk away from somebody on the floor... But really? via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/2KPVF7v

Hayden Christensen is getting a well-deserved resurgence of support from the Star Wars fandom. But he's not the only one who deserves it. There's one other character I'd like to see come back in a more serious, mature way: Jar Jar Binks.
In light of Hayden Christensen seeing a revival with fans for coming back as Anakin Skywalker, one other actor who deserves redemption in the eyes of the fandom is Ahmed Best. The least the fandom (and Lucas owe him) is six episodes. And honestly, it could be modeled after something like Star Trek: Picard, Logan, or The Last Jedi as an older, wiser, more mature Jar Jar wrestles with his role in the fall of the Republic. How much was he manipulated, and how much did he actively choose the role? Watch the character struggle with deeply human, universal experiences of guilt, shame, grief, and regret as he tries to find new meaning in a galaxy gone mad. via /r/StarWars https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/vk87mo/hayden_christensen_is_getting_a_welldeserved/?utm_source=ifttt

I think people miss the point in Obi-wan
Hear me out, before you throw tomatoes at me. I don't really post but I need somewhere to post my thoughts on this series. Long post ahead.I just did a second viewing of the finale and on my first viewing, there was something that didn't sit right with me during their battle, and it's the part where Vader buries Obi-wan alive with a ton of rocks. I had the same question as everyone else, why the frick didn't Vader just stab him instead of this roundabout way of killing him?Then it hit me: Obi-wan is literally, physically and metaphorically being crushed by his guilt and past.During this scene, what replays in his head is the voices of Anakin and Vader overlaying with each other. In the past episodes, Obi-wan seems to have lost hope in anything and is wracked by guilt, regrets, and grief. It's why he turned away that Jedi in the first episode, why he didn't fight for the man with a family and why he rejected Bail in rescuing Leia. He has also lost faith in people (not trusting Haja) and just a generally downtrodden person. He even lost faith in the force and has not used it in ten years. It's like being an artist and not painting, or a violinist and not playing the violin. Heck, you can say it's like not using your arms because the Force has always been there as an extension of himself. He buried his lightsaber in the sand, which he always said is "his life", which means he himself has buried HIM in the sand. He doesn't like the name Obi-wan, he uses Ben (it's why it was so important for Leia to use the name Obi-wan during the finale, but correct me if I'm wrong here). For him, the "war is over" and the "fight is done". He tells Nari to bury his lightsaber in the sand which is to turn his back on everything they've fought for because that's exactly what he did. This is not Obi-wan Kenobi, the Jedi. This is Ben, who is no one. There is no hope in the future, and certainly no hope for himself, because "he's not the man he used to be".Anyone who has ever experienced mental health issues and depression, these words sound very familiar.Depression, PTSD, grief and trauma warps you to the point you lose yourself and your life. Considering what Obi-wan has been through, can we really blame him? Every part of the galaxy is just another living reminder of what he lost and why it's his fault and how he failed. When he wakes up, the ache is renewed. He's not just grieving Anakin, the Jedi, Padme, his life - he's also grieving himself, who he used to be. Because when he we see him at Episode 1, he's but a shell of a broken man.Aside from depression and hopelessness, avoidance is another symptom of PTSD. He makes Luke as his excuse, but there is no reason for him to just sit in the sand for 10 years, let himself rot away except to atone for his supposed sins. He disavowed his name, his lightsaber, his clothes, and his Jedi principles, the fricking Force. He's been avoiding everything and anything because it just hurts him, until the past literally hits him in the face. When Obi-wan faces Darth Vader for the first time (special shoutout to him having an almost heart attack for simply feeling the presence of someone you thought dead for ten years), it's laughable how he just runs. He just keeps running from Vader, until the ghost of his past literally catches up to him.The reason why he loses this fight is because he has nothing to fight for; not even Leia, not even Tala, not even the Path. Because people cannot save you, you yourself have to choose to save yourself.I agree some parts feel lackluster, but people just don't get it.This show is not about us, it's about Obi-wan and his emotional journey. It's about healing and how one can move on from such unimaginable loss.In a way, its also about how one can fight trauma, PTSD, depression and grief.On his own, Obi-wan failed. He thought by locking himself away in some tower he can heal, or he doesn't deserve to have a life after everything he did. It's only through his emotional growth with Leia, Tala, Roken, the Path people and even Reva did he finally heal from the loss of Anakin, the Jedi, and his perceived failures. Leia showed him love and hope. Tala showed him that even if we did terrible things in the past, we can still and must do something to make that right. The Path showed him that the Jedi spiritually and the fight is alive and well, and all of these people showed him that he is not alone nor powerless or helpless, unlike what his mind has been telling him (The disconnect between the mind and reality is important in mental health).Heck, say all you want about Reva, but she is the perfect foil for Obi-wan. Reva carried herself from the gutter to killing Vader, because she thought revenge and vengeance will what make everything better, will what make her heal from her traumatic past. But when she finally had Luke in her hands, it didn't. She realized she will not heal by killing Luke. She is only killing herself. She can only heal by honoring them, and living for herself. That's the only way to move on.So let's go back to this scene:*crushed by rocks obito style*This time, he is not just in a metaphorical hole, he IS in a hole. Everyone who's ever been depressed or been through something traumatic, a common metaphor would be like you're trapped in a hole you cannot ever climb out of, endlessly falling and crushed. So what does Obi-wan do in this scenario?Instead of Anakin, he hears Luke and Leia. This moment is important, because he chooses to save himself and fight for the future. If we put Episode 1 Obi-wan here, he would have just let himself be crushed, but because of his six episodic journey, this Obi-wan fights and saves himself. The next shot we see him literally crawl out this depression and confront the living manifestation of his deepest fears, regret and guilt; the phantom of his past - Vader.And WINS.More to this, is that he overcomes his crushing (heh) guilt and past because of his love for Luke and Leia, because now, he has hope on the future. He believes in them. He fights for them. The past, Anakin, no longer matters. Luke and Leia is his new hope. At the end of the day, after devastating loss, we find something and someone new to fight for. That's how you heal.Let's also talk about Vader for a sec. Vader literally wants to bury Obi-wan, also a living manifestation of his past, because that's what he wants to do in his mind. He wants to bury all traces of Anakin Skywalker. But of course it doesn't work. The Dark Side isn't exactly known for mental health seminars.It's arguable whether this is Vader or Anakin, but I think it's Anakin that absolves him of his guilt. Vader at the end of the day, is Anakin. For me, this is Anakin, because Anakin is essentially saying, "you didn't fail me, I failed myself. You were the best Master ever 10/10 I simply made my own choices" in Vader style. He's comforting him in his own way.Only through Obi-wan confronting himself and Vader was he able to help Reva, and now, they are "both free" of the past. Later, we see Obi-wan smiling, laughing, hugging, reclaiming both Ben and Obi-wan, remembering Anakin and Padme without hurting and regaining his sense of self. It's beautiful to see. One of my favorite shots is this:sorry for the qualityBecause it's just so dang hopeful. Obi-wan finally mentally and physically leaves this dark place so he can finally move on in the new stage of his life. That's why he was only now able to commune with Qui-Gon, because he's finally healing. And we love that for him. If Obi-wan can do it, after literally losing everything, we can too.TLDR; Obi-wan Kenobi series is about mental health and connects depressed Obi-wan with sagely Obi-wan in New HopeIf you've reached this far, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/gnNzUvd

Am I the only one that DOESN'T want a Kenobi season 2?
I just think the way it wrapped up was so well done. I literally was tearing up at the ending conversation between Vader and Obi-Wan.Not just that, but I think it did a good job of moving Kenobi along emotionally and set him up in a good spot for where we find him again in ANH. I feel a second season would just mess it up and add an unneeded story. Plus, it couldn't have the emotional weight of this season without REALLY screwing some stuff up and making more plotholes.I guess, I'm just hoping Disney leaves well enough alone. via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/Fjx419V
