I couldn't see them in the first shot but later in the trailer when he's spinning his lightsaber you can totally see the red marks under his eyes and the Pau'an lines. Woops, it's totally him, sorry.

I'm way behind on that series but I know he eats it fighting Kanan but I don't think that's happened yet in the timeline. The stunt makeup explanation makes sense but yeah I feel like they could have done better. 100% agreed on the music though. I didn't even realize the trailer started with a slowed-down version of Battle of the Heroes until I watched it again

Yeah Friend is the Grand Inquisitor there’s been rumors about it for over a month now and it’s very clearly him in that second snipped we see.

Looks cool! Wonder what the mix of Tatooine vs. non-Tatooine is going to be; I'm not as tired of it as a lot of people are, and if anything it makes the most sense for a Kenobi series, but it's also good to see cool new planets, as long as it's more of an exception for unusual circumstances rather than "Obi-Wan is jetsetting around the galaxy all the time" (which it doesn't seem like it will be). I'm guessing we get off-planet pretty early in the series, most of the Tatooine clips in the trailer feel like setup.thrawn527 posted:I'm honestly kind of losing my poo poo.

Ah, I guess I never thought about how the guy in Episode III on Utapau and the Grand Inquisitor are the same species. I thought the guy in Episode III had a bunch of lines on his face, and the Inquisitor in Rebels didn't? Whatever. They're definitely not the same person. I'm fine with his face looking a little different in live action compared to Rebels, but I guess now I know what minor detail everyone will fixate on. Twitter is all over this. This really feels like a "missing the forest for the trees" situation, but oh well.

He'll turn up as a force ghost. Turns out Vader died shortly after his horrific burns and they replaced him with Rex.

That made me giggle a little. Like I knew Obi-Wan was out there making sure Luke stayed safe, but I thought he was doing it in, I dunno, a more mystical and surreptitious way, not literally squatting in a sand dune a quarter mile away and creeping on BabyLuke through a pair of binoculars. No wonder Owen thinks he's a total weirdo.

Two biggest questions I have: 1) Why were there 4 Sith apparently running around immediately after the end of the prequels? 2) Are they finally going to explain why Obi-Wan needed to hide himself and Luke so badly that he became a hermit, created an entirely new identity for himself, and lived in utter solitude for 20 years, but he just took Luke back to his biological next of kin and had them call Luke by his original name? Yet, somehow, nobody ever checked up on them.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Two biggest questions I have: Inquisitors aren't Sith proper. It's kind of implied they're getting a stepped-on version of Force training to make them just dangerous enough to hunt down Jedi and terrorize Jedi collaborators with plenty of support from storm/purge troopers in tow. Like they're getting enough Force training to be regular infantry riflemen to the Sith's Delta Operators. quote:2) Are they finally going to explain why Obi-Wan needed to hide himself and Luke so badly that he became a hermit, created an entirely new identity for himself, and lived in utter solitude for 20 years, but he just took Luke back to his biological next of kin and had them call Luke by his original name? Yet, somehow, nobody ever checked up on them. It's pretty weird. Everything on the deeds and titles would say "Lars" so nothing would ping in Imperial records, and it's possible "Skywalker" is as common as "Jones" in the Star War galaxy. Vader is probably not eager to revisit his old home and would have no reason to suspect Owen and Beru of doing anything but eeking out a living on a planet he hates.

They’re inquisitors. Half baked darkside users meant to hunt down runaway padawans and such. They also function as mine canaries, if one of them gets killed Vader knows he might have something worth his time. Their spinsabers are usually called stupid by fans but they do what they’re meant to do, be generally intimidating to clueless opponents.

Obi-Wan dramatically changed his life and lived as a hermit for 20 years, gave himself a new name, and they gave Leia an entirely new identity with someone completely unaffiliated with the Skywalkers on a planet in a completely different universe. Just seems like they went all out to hide everyone else, but really half-assed hiding Luke! He just used his real name and dropped him off with his next of kin who never moved out of their childhood home.

You're not wrong from a storytelling sense, but in-universe I think the logic is fairly sound. Anakin doesn't know he has a son, and he has never heard the name Luke—a name Padme only uttered from her deathbed. The vast majority of people in the galaxy think Anakin and Obi-Wan were killed in the purge. Anakin has no reason to ever return to the homestead, a place he visited once to crash with his now ex-brother in law while searching for his dying mom that is in a totally different town than the one he grew up in. Nobody outside of Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Bail would know to be on the lookout for a secret presumed-dead child that Anakin had with his secret dead wife, and even if they did, why would they check a farm in the middle of nowhere run by Anakin's mom's dead husband's son? feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 23:59 on Mar 9, 2022 |

Tatooine is the last place in the galaxy Anakin wants to go or think about, and the baby died with Padme as far as he and Palpatine know. Plus it's pretty much a nothing backwater dive in an entire galaxy of planets, with only the most token Empire representation 90% of the time. Though now I do want to see Anakin stop by the old homestead for an awkward catch up and supper with his step-brother. "So...what have you been up to?" "Nothing much, killing Sand People, lamenting my lot in life, you know, the usual. This suit owns though, keeps the sand out, you guys should get one. Can you pass the salt please, Beru?"

Why go through all the effort for Leia and Obi-Wan when the same logic applies to them, though? Seems like they should have half-assed everyone since only 4 people in the universe knew or they should have put a little more effort into hiding poor Luke!

Would it have been safer to drop him on the step of an orphanage on a random planet he picked by throwing a saberdart at a space map? Probably. But if his goal was to give the son of his former "brother" whom he loved a semblance of a decent life, I think he made the right call. Could Bail have adopted two kids? Yeah. That probably would have been the best solution. But otherwise Luke is growing up on Dagobah with Yoda and he's gonna turn out a bit goofy.

Vinylshadow posted:Inquisitors aren't true Sith; they're former Jedi/Force sensitives turned to the Dark Side at the castle in the trailer (explored in Jedi Fallen Order) and trained by Vader (Seen in the second Vader comic series which takes place immediately after RotS)I I love Rebels, but my only problem with it is that I never found the Inquisitors all that scary. I know they needed less powerful villains, because we were following less powerful Force users, but that doesn't change the fact that the answer to, "Who are the Inquisitors?" can be summed up with, "A group of less scary Darth Vaders." Okay, well, then, I'm not gonna find them all that intimidating, I guess, if that's what we're using as a starting point. They worked better in Fallen Order as escalating bosses, I think. This only got worse in season 2 when Vader and Ahsoka showed up, and Vader was clearly a bigger deal, and Ahsoka absolutely clowned them. I get why they need to exist from a story telling point of view, but, like, in this show, for example. Can any Inquisitor really seem like a threat against Kenobi? The man went toe-to-toe against Vader in his absolute prime (with the aide of some high ground, obviously), and won. Sure, throw a few lesser Vaders at him, I guess. Minor thought that's been on my mind for a while, I guess.
