Didnt they? I swear they set that up with glover's lando teasing him or something

See this I was OK with. Lando just says it wrong to Han's face, he's aware that it's wrong, and he just does it for whatever reason (assumed to be giving Han a hard time). That's fine. Could have not happened at all and been fine, too. It's very unlikely that any further discussion about it would be satisfying at all.



the "it had to be explained" just seems like a joke, but I know it's not. All of these comments just show how utterly devoid of creativity the writing was since loving everything is a reference to something else. Luckily Star Wars has trained me to block this knowledge out in order to extract whatever possible enjoyment I can from the movies.

I was listening to a podcast where Jake Kasdan was a guest and someone mentioned how he was like 23 when he directed his first movie and he said something to the effect of 'I don't know why they let me do that' and like dude your dad wrote a star wars and raiders of the lost ark, why are you surprised you were given more opportunity than 99% of people, gimme a break. It's like Spielberg's kid saying they worked as hard as everyone else to get a directing job.

I figured Obi-Wan wanted Vader to show up, just not anybody else, so deliberately left clues that only Anakin would understand.

Shmi Skywalker lived on a planet where people have names like Darklighter and Moonbreaker, so it isn't very attention-grabbing on its own. Sharing surnames with a couple of dead Jedi from the war is just trivia, except to the rare person who knows enough secrets to infer what it means for an old man named Kenobi and a young man (or woman!) named Skywalker to be in close proximity.

I guess this show is taking a different approach, however.

I'd just figured that in Luke's teens at some point a dialogue like this happened:

quote:


LUKE: What's Old Ben's last name?

OWEN: Why do you wanna know?

LUKE: Why don't you wanna tell me?

OWEN: [tries to think of a lie, but he's flustered and Luke is already suspicious so he gives up] uh, Kenobi

People are gonna analyze Kenobi frame by frame and realize he's always standing a few pixels above everyone else and therefore has the high ground and is unbeatable

Except for the times he's getting utterly shitstomped because that seems to be a recurring trend with these live-action shows

Bonus points if the finale has a "base under siege" scene at some point

I agree with both your points. Obi-wan will absolutely get his poo poo kicked, and he also will verbally say something about higher ground. These two predictions I stand by.

Is it confirmed Obi-Wan and Vader actually interact? Seems like it would make the most sense if they just miss each other, or see each other from a distance.

It isn't in the movies, but he may have sensed it through the Force or may have just inferred it from the Emperor's new right hand man sounding like he lives in an iron lung. It'll probably be the big shock reveal of this series

Oh yeah he does. That settles that then, the first time he heard of the emperor having a new guy called Darth Vader he knew that was the same guy (or that Anakin died and was reborn as Darth Vader, you know what I mean)

Agreed they should do like a Godfather Part II thing and just have the stories be completely separate but clear on how one effects the others' characterization.

I think so. I haven’t seen someone really try and do anything but being a hero yet. But I think it’s a case of finding some officer and joining up.

They have the best side quest so far where you hack the ship with cool Star Wars props.
