The famous scene from Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi, when Obi Wan tells Luke, our hero, about the notorious General Grevious, Droid Leader from the times of the Clone Wars.
Duchess Satine figured that out decades before. "I'm sure you are all acquainted with the collection of half-truths and hyperbole known as Obi Wan Kenobi."
OMG, THAT'S how the franchise can be saved! Just retcon all the prequels as a bunch of shit Obi-Wan made up! I mean, it's no worse than scrapping the entire Expanded Universe.
Obi-Wan got old. He's now just telling random things instead of what you asked him. But you listen anyway, because everything he says is interesting and precious.
"Luke, you are listening to the old, dead man again... Yoda is starting to worry for your sanity, _and he's currently licking day-old porridge from the floor."_
Honestly, it reminds me a bit of how Yoda and Obi Wan told Luke everything about Vader, but hardly gave him any info about Palpatine. Would have been useful...
There's a lot of reasons the jedi fell, their own failure to interperet the prophecy yet still believed whole heartedly in their second interpretation of it only to have been right originally. Balance was just actual balance and not favoritist balance of an all dominating light. Removed from politics, removed from political form of governance and good vs bad guy assosciations we make. The will of the force is easier to think about as a form of all consuming dualistic God that has seperated itself into two aspects to know itself. You cannot have anything but an extension of God in his entirety if you do not delinate yourself into seperate forces (essentially cosmic shadow work) . But also you cannot have any understanding without both aspects. In a sense both mentalities had a piece of the picture but both got it wrong. It's not good to focus purely on being a conduit of the force and the will of the force because inherently the dualistic nature of the force means it is always engaged in self battle and you are essentially channeling a confused force or are manipulating the cosmic and living force just as brutally as the sith by denying aspects of its nature. Only the mortals can choose, and those decided to choose by God are sensitive to God. (The Force) ((forgive me at the time of writing this I've been sleepless with anxiety for 45 hours and writing out this pointless irrelevant thought has been relieving, hope you don't mind))
@@jamesbiggs2745No the Jedi understood the prophecy perfectly. You just typed a wall of text to show you are too stupid to understand movies for children.
Grevious: I was trained in your Jedi arts by Count Dooku! Obi-Wan: Oh yeah- the guy who got killed the other day by the guy I trained! Greivous:Oh shit...
I think the real reason why Obi-Wan couldn't even tell Luke was because he went through so much unimaginable crap in terms of having PTSD Yes he did mention the empire and he also mentioned the name Anakin Skywalker but he didn't mention all the things that were transpired if you really paid attention to the movies, you would understand that someone that speaks less about the past is telling the truth. There would be no reason to lie as far as Obi-Wan is concerned still a badass Jedi the same with Anakin the same with Luke, three of the badass Jedis of all of Star wars
The reason Obi-Wan was so sparse with the details, because he was essentially lying to Luke the whole time…. He only fessed up after Vader told Lukey was his father.
“The inspiration I got from General Grievous is that if you tell your father 'You are a bald one,' he might get angry, and that's when you have the chance to defeat him."
“Luke, dislocate your wrists, with the force. So you can do the Jedi Art of spinning your lightsabers like a rotor blade. I remember R2 recalling a story of your father saying that spinning is a good trick. Try spinning, it might be a good trick against Darth Vader.” “I’m not trying that, Ben.” “Shame, have you tried pocket sand?”
"What about my father?" "Screw your father, dude, just let me tell you about this time I killed an alien with arms that swinged like fans and had lightsabers spinning around. Shit was so cool some nerds even got it into a movie."
"I don't know how I made it out" Probably because rather then actually fight while spinning the lightsabers in a way Obi-wan couldn't actually combat, Grievous instead only did that to show off and then just jutted his arms out to be chopped off like an idiot.
And he was a good friend… edit: I think it would be 10 times better if Obi-Wan taught Luke to point out that Vader was shorter and younger than he expected We need a remake of this great video
I remember when people started meeming the prequels hard, because they realized nearly every line and plot point was trash. Then that gave way to all these goofballs starting in with the "actually i really loved the prequels," and that's gone on for way too long at this point. I'm relieved to see that trashing their inane, juvenile, toy inspiring shite elements is coming back into favor.
The drastic differences in scope and technology between the Originals and Prequels really goes to show that despite Lucas' flaws he truly was a visionary
I find these hilarious, Obi Wan explaining to Luke all this random stuff that falls way outside the original trilogy. There is a wealth of other stuff out there, how to even start about Satine Kryze...
Alec Guinness says it was fucking insane. We spent all damn year building that bridge just for it to be blown up. I was bummed for some reason. Anyway, how’s your sister?
Appreciated the use of the original Lego Star Wars Ruin of the Jedi Soundtrack: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sxf6vNSvAcM.htmlsi=FnKbemXKHJVKOmy3 Brought back some memories and fits in well with the scene!
Obi wan: Luke did i ever tell you that all this stuff really never exist when we are filming this?. All will be invented later. Grievous was an old friend, like mace the purple saber and black skin, did i tell you about him? Luke: 🤦🏻♂️🥹
