Is there like a quick Obi-Wan Kenobi recap on Youtube or something? I tried searching and not finding much.

My wife wants to watch this with me but the start of her watching Star Wars is The Mandalorian. She has no interest in the movies but could probably use a little backstory on Obi-Wan and why he's important (that isn't just me explaining it).

He trained Anakin Skywalker. He hoped Anakin would be some kind of saviour, but instead he turned to the dark side. Obi Wan and Anakin got into a fight. Anakin got very badly injured in that fight, and was put into a suit and became Darth Vader.


You could also just read a wiki page up to the end of the prequels.

Oh yeah...I cant see how this is going to go at all.

Prepare to pause every two seconds for millions of impending questions.

They should have dropped it on May the 4th.

May 25th is the 45th anniversary of the release of Star Wars, so I'm sure that has something to do with it.

If you really can't convince her to give the movies a shot just show her clips on YouTube. Show her the Maul fight and do a brief explanation of what's happening, then the Dooku fights, then the big battle in Episode III followed finally by his death in A New Hope.

The best thing to come out of the prequels was the podracer game for N64. Followed closely by Ewan's Obi-Wan

Sam Jackson was exactly as stiff with a lightsaber as you’d expect a guy in his mid 50’s to be at the time, but I rocked his purple bad motherfr in the Jedi Academy game for a long time.

Everyone, including Sam Jackson, wants a Mace Windu return. I hope we see it in this series.

Yeah, as much as we'd like it because its Sam Jackson. He's dead. Jelly on the sidewalk below the Senate Building.

By Star Wars rules, unrealistic.

I want to see a depressed, angry Kenobi going through a arm amputation phase on Tattooine.

Tatooine Show 14: Electric Boogaloo aside, I actually am excited for this. but I'm curious about how they'll really be able to generate tension. I know Ben's gonna be just fine at the end, as with the Skywalker homestead. Vader and other prominent imperial leaders are safe too, and anyone else that has ever shown up in OT, ST, R1, Mando, and Boba. so the only characters actually in danger of biting the dust (and probably will) are the inquisitors.

I can't agree but I like you live in a lonely world of Star Wars fandom
(Rain>JJ).


I really think they are just doing what JJ couldn't do. Proper improve, #1 rule say "yes, and..." the prequels exist, they aren't good, but you have to accept, acknowledge and use their canon when writing stories, or you aren't doing star wars, you are just making crappy fan fiction (ala the rise of Skywalker).

Plus Ewan is almost universally the most beloved part of those movies. (maybe Mace as well).

Basically every Jedi has fallen a further height and lived.

Not to mention, even if he is dead he can force ghost.

Darth Maul was literally chopped in two and fell down a classic Star Wars bottomless shaft - and he came back. I don’t think it would be any stretch to bring back Mace Windu.
