Kenobi ep 6 double length version with cut scenes, de-aging, cut music, and double length kenobi vader fight disney+ release early 2023, all stuff Kathleen Kennedy initially removed…
Actually that's backwards. A lot of the initial sequences were tamer and the choices to make it more brutal (Vader killing civilians, Order 66 etc) came from on top!
@@KyleKatarnChannel Was it just me or did I hear some of the Rebels themes from twilight of the apprentice when Vader's mask was cut open... or maybe I'm just hearing things I wanna hear.
I see a symbolism here in the sequence. Obi destroyed the right half of Vader's helmet. Ahsoka in Rebels the left…together they could have put Anakin on the good side. Only Luke was able to take Vader's helmet off completely, and Vader had an injury to the right of his head in Episode 6 that was never explained. It was Obi wan in tonight's episode
The delivery on 'You didn't kill Anakin Skywalker.... I did.' Was delivered PERFECTLY. Chilling, sad and I wonder if Anakin was trying to absolve Obi Wan's guilt.
There were moments of Anakin spilling out when he said "I am not your failure." Plus him giving a small evil smirk when he said "I did." just shows how brutally sadistic Vader is.
I don't think that he was trying to absolve Obi Wan. I think he was trying to convince Obi Wan to put him out of his misery; there was a line in one of the novels, about a holo droid saying that he hated being Vader, and someone responded: I think he hates being him too.
Also Leia's very formal message to Obi-Wan - he told her to act as if they didn't know each other to protect her. They did a great job of explaining a lot of nitpicky details
@@leynaripley5250 It's amazing the quality you get when you put people in charge who are fans of the original material, and not just 'oh we watched parts of it for reference'.
@@Anubis78250 absolutely - you can tell that these shows are made by people who love Star Wars. They make such an effort to be consistent in even the tiniest details
It also helps explain the ANH fight. What used to be a slow, arguably lame duel, now looks like Vader is being extra cautious because he's had his ass handed to him TWICE.
Ewan McGregor....Best Acting Performance in all of Star Wars.... PERIOD!!!!!!!!! He was incredible.....When the tears welled up in his eyes...I was shivering head to toe....That scene was what I wanted from this scene
Actually, they both (Ewan and Hayden) shared a very emotional moment the first time they found themselves on that set again after so many years, I imagine in the training flashback in Part 5... However, to make Obi Wan cry in this precise moment someone told Ewan: Ewan, just remember when You collected your check for the first Trainspotting!
I am convinced that they held off on using the imperial march until that last moment because he wasn't fully Darth Vader until he let go of chasing Obi-Wan
I don't know... At this point, Vader has done EVERYTHING he can you distance himself from "Anakin Skywalker" & try to forget he was ANYTHING BUT Vader. He's even begun to think of his past as Anakin as someone else. Whenever he remembered something from the past, he regarded it as "the Jedi's memories." He was pretty much completely Vader until he encountered Kenobi, then Ahsoka. Only LUKE was able to draw Anakin Skywalker back from the depths of "Vader."
They were very careful with Luke and I commend them for it. He never sees a lit lightsaber. Even when Reva was in the same room, Luke's head was already passed the top of the ladder.
@@leonrussell9607 it’s not clear. In fact I’ve heard one commentator already referring to Obi-Wan’s “we must be careful” comment to Leia in this episode as a reason why Leia would not acknowledge the personal link she herself has with Kenobi in her message she put in R2, just in case it were to be intercepted.
When his breather was broken and you can hear vader and anakin coming in and out, i was already on the edge of my seat but then i started getting teared up
I've never been a Hayden fan, but glad he got the chance to come back, and deliver this. And I'll be excited to see him again soon. Fair play to him, he turned this doubter into a believer.
@@shugaroony - he has definitely matured as an actor. Thank goodness we got this portrayal. I saw him and Ewan at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim in May and both of them seemed truly excited to be in this series. I’m so happy.
@@ds_the_rn That was my hope, that he had matured in his acting in the intervening years, and glad to say it appears he has. I'm delighted he's been given another chance and to show naysayers - like I have been - that he is a capable actor. And yes its always great to see enthusiasm from actors who come into the franchise, like Ewan and Hayden, Sam Witwer, Rosario Dawson etc etc. Even a-listers who are willing to go uncredited to play stormtroopers, like Tom Hardy or Daniel Craig. They are as big fans of this silly franchise, as we are! :D
This made me feel for Vader a lot. He basically had the same conversation with his master, his apprentice and his son, where all of them told him that they had failed him or wanted him to come back to the light and he refused them, and then all of them ended up agreeing with him that in that case Anakin was truly dead. For a boy who grew up as a slave and lost his mother, his only father figure, and then his wife, that shit must be brutal even if by now Vader's matured enough to at least acknowledge that he was completely responsible for his fall to the Dark Side instead of blaming everybody else for everything like he did in Episodes II and III, and he told Obi-Wan as much.
I love how in part 3, on Mustafar, Vader says ‘Kenobi is all that matters now’ and he is being filmed from the right side, in this one he say ‘Kenobi means nothing’, same shot, but from the left.
I honestly love the line of "I am not your failure, Obi-Wan". Anakin meant it as a way to ease the guilt his former master held for Anakin's fall. Vader meant it as a way to distance himself more from Anakin. To him Anakin is long dead and only Vader remains. But we all know that isn't true.
Another comment pointed out too. That it actually shows growth for Anakin/Vader because how much did he wine in Episodes II and III about everything being other people's fault. Here he is accepting no I did this
we've all been there, i only realized vader voice blending with anakin's when he said "I'm not your failure obi wan". But while rewatching it, i then realized it in happened in "Anakin is gone, I'm what remains"
One comment I didn’t hear you cover which struck a chord with me: “Then my friend is truly dead.” Now, after Luke says almost the same thing on Endor and Vader stares off for a minute, I believe that he was flashing back on what Obi-Wan said so many years ago
I was expecting a plea from Obi Wan to return to the light, an apology and finally forgiving himself was an even better path to go on. Very well written for all the characters involved.
The last two episodes were a masterpiece. I love the original trilogy but the prequels era is just the best in my opinion. This show really gave it justice!
Because I grew up with the originals, my preference is always for Ep 4-6 over 1-3, but this series has made the prequels better movies and underlined what a fundamentally good story those movies were built around.
What I really like is when you hear Hayden's voice, you hear the voice of a shell of a man. He sounds like his lungs have taken DAMAGE. Like how a burn victim should sound. And yet it's STILL menacing as hell! Bravo Hayden! You are the definitive Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader (along with James Earl Jones).
going for center mass like that isnt easy. a person's chest is the easiest spot on their bodies to protect. That's why in most cases melee fights usually involve going for the limbs, head, and other outer extremities
@@zacharyjackson1829 Vader usually keeps that pretty well protected, this duel added so much to their understated fight in New Hope. This series enhanced both trilogies.
this allows us to understand that no one else was responsible for anakin's fall other than him. it wasn't the order it wasn't needing to save padme, it was him embracing who he always was. we also get to see who I think is probably the very best example of who and what the jedi are, it's obi. wise as master Yoda as powerful as master windu. he was always the best of them.
@@SuperHns or anakin would have seen them as a means to be the master and used them for.the dark side, end up getting killed by sidious and he turns the twins
What's crazy to me is "Fans" thinking this was garbage and not logical, saying "bruh since when is Obi-Wan so strong." When in the old Novels, so Lucas Era, it was specifically said that Obi-Wan was at least on par with Mace Windu when it came to power in the Force and only succeeded by Yoda. And Mace Windu himself also said Obi-Wan is a better duelist than him, because every Jedi learned a specific fighting style to compensate for a weakness. But Obi-Wan had no weakness to compensate when he learned form 3, which is why he became THE Master of Form 3.
"Obi-Wan once thought as you do." Obi-Wan spends the series believing that Vader is still fundamentally Anakin Skywalker, and wracked with guilt and regret over Anakin's fall. Vader, to an extent, is still held back by the same flaws that characterised Anakin, and is obsessed with eliminating Kenobi as a connection to his old life. The end of their fight here, Vader distances himself from his old identity, taking credit for killing Anakin. In doing so, he convinces Obi-Wan that his old student and friend is gone. So, when Luke surrenders on Endor, and tries to convince Vader to turn, he believes as Obi-Wan once did: that inside Darth Vader, Anakin Skywalker still exists.
its still poorly written though, Why didnt Obi tell Anikan about his kids here.... he could have prevented a lot of deaths and misery, they would have killed the emperor together...
@@jayalbertcastigador9274 again, DV was down and out for the count, he could have at least tried to turn DV back to the light, even OBI Wan saw the struggle in him, and PADME telling him LITERALLY THERE IS STILL GOOD IN IN. If he went more evil, kill him. What OBI did now is the WORST THING EVER, DV will go on to kill thousands, or maybe MILLIONS of living creatures...
@@jayalbertcastigador9274 He had DV by the balls, he was out, he could have / should have tried to bring him back... knowing he has kids could have done that, remember PADME saying there is still good in him to OBI WAN, what happened to that??? IF DV did not want to listen and went more evil, he could have killed him... What OBI did now just leaving DV alive, is the WORST FUCKING THING ever.... DV will go on to kill thousands , if not, millions of living creatures in the next 10-15 years... But okay at least OBI WAN did a force unleashed on him right.. You people are so happy with things without even thinking about it... Like cats and a bell in front of them.
@@SuperHns Obi Wan is the symbol of the old Jedi ways. "A Jedi is supposed to protect life, not take it". Very similar to Batman and Joker. Batmam refuses to kill Joker because it's against his principles. Are all the Batman comics poorly written then because he refuses to kill evil villains? Obi Wan doesn't strike me as someone who takes life, even for heinous villains unless absolutely necessary (like Maul finding out about Luke). He is a man of principles, and one of that is not being the judge, jury, and executioner to every evil doer out there. He was willing to have a nice, calm chat with Maul and even to let him go, until Maul threatened Luke. Killing Vader doesn't change the grand scheme of things: Bringing balance to the force and defeating the Emperor. You kill the Emperor's main enforcer and he'll just find another one. He is already frustrated with Vader since he didn't even give him the best cybernetics money has to offer. Telling Vader about his kids is a risky play. What if Vader doesn't turn? Then what? I already discussed why Obi Wan doesn't wanna kill Vader. Vader is highly likely to tell Palpatine, or worse yet, Palpatine finds out by reading Vader's emotions. Obi Wan can't protect Luke and Leia from the Emperor. All hope would be extinguished. This fight wasn't about killing. It was a symbolic "burying the hatchet" for Obi Wan. A lot of the scenes in the series are of Obi Wan being racked with guilt, wondering what he could have done to prevent Anakin from turning. Vader saying that he killed Anakin gave Obi Wan closure. He is no longer bound to the past. He can look forward to the future now. Being a pacifict by principle, he lets Vader live. His main task now is to train and protect Anakin's children. Obi Wan isn't the type to lead a rebellion on a large scale fighting against the Empire either, otherwise he would have had plenty of contacts in Episode IV A New Hope. He is only guided by his principles and the will of the Force, which tells him that Luke and Leia are the key to the future. It ties in perfectly with the story beats of the original trilogy. Obi Wan is a flawed being bound by his principles. That to me is a more compelling story than someone who makes the absolute best logical choice in every given situation. You want a character like that? Go and read about Admiral Thrawn
I turn 50 years old next week but the Obi Wan series made me feel like a kid again. Little did a 5 year old me in 1977 queing to see some film about space think that would happen.
This channel and Blind Wave are great places to be to totally nerd out about Star Wars. I love the knowledge you guys have and openly bring it up in references that give us glimpses into legends and comics for those who didn't know anything or much about those stories. I really hope for a season 2, but if we don't get it, I feel this finale tied everything up almost perfectly, with the exception of Reva. I'll admit, I didn't care for her, always thought she was annoying with all her screaming and yelling. However, once her past was opened up, and she got to show emotion, it made it easier to connect with her character, making her very human and relatable. Couple things that totally stood out for me was that 1) Leia's final outfit really made her look like a solid mix of older Princess Leia and Padme 2) when Obi was pelting Anakin with the rocks, it really reminded me of the Jedi Sage's ability in The Old Republic. 3) At the end, Obi-Wan was using his garmet he used in Episode 3 4) this was the reference Vader made when he said "When I left you, I was but a learner, now I am the Master." Thanks again for all your uploads and knowledge drops. This quickly became one of my favorite channels, especially for Star Wars content. Blind Wave as well.
Hearing Leia's theme ALWAYS guts me now that we lost Carrie. I loved Obi-Wan thinking of the twins to center himself. And then he does it again in ANH when he sees them together.
notice his face was covered with Obi's blue saber light when he said that, almost like he was returning to his former self when he said it, but his red saber light took back over when he went back to the vader persona
I've watched a bunch of reactions to the series and I really appreciate how truly happy you were just to be watching new Star Wars content. The pure joy of it, without having to pick it apart. Plus, you had great insight into all aspects of Star Wars - games, extended universe, legends and animated series - which made the commentary interesting. Yours is my favorite reaction to this series that I've seen. Thank you.
I loved this so much. I just cried…..both for Kenobi losing his friend….his brother but also for Anakin losing himself to Vader. That Twilight of “The Master” scene was heartbreaking. Also loved how Kenobi taunted Vader by calling him Darth…..great way to reframe Kenobi calling him that in episode 4. Just adored this series.
that does not say much the writing is still crap> Why didnt Obi tell Anikan about his kids here.... he could have prevented a lot of deaths and misery, they would have killed the emperor together...
I like Kyle's theory that there was a hint of good in Vader when he told Obiwan "I am not your failure". I think that could connect with their first encounter when Vader stands by the fire and lets them take Obiwan away. Vader seemed to stand there pondering something. Almost like he was surprised by how broken Obiwan was. Maybe thinking, this man has already been torturing himself.
A great finale to this season. All the references from Revenge Of The Sith and Rebels hit perfectly, and that last conversation between Obi-Wan and Vader? Chills. Also Obi using his classic Form III stance, his iconic “Hello There” and Qui-Gon finally appearing as a force ghost was the cherry on top
That was the best finale I’ve ever since in a Star Wars live action series. All the emotions hit just right, and the fan service was done very well. Especially Qui Gon at the end, even though S6 of Clone Wars had stated he never completed his training, I am glad they retconned that and we actually see him in the flesh and not just a disembodied voice.
Not going to lie, I was crying with the Vader and kenobi dialogue. You can see and feel their emotion and the fight scene was insanely good. I hope we get another season!
One of the biggest things I have not heard from any reaction video yet, is when Anakin says that Obi-Wan didn't kill Anakin Skywalker, I did. That explains also why "from a certain point of view" he says that Vader killed his father "Anakin" when he is talking to Luke. That ties into that scene.
That rematch went hard! The Obi Wan vs Darth Vader we needed! a great pace and hard hitting even that half Mask Anakin connection with Obi-Wan made me Cry 🥺 I loved those few surprises at the end too! All round Amazing show! Easily one of my favorite Star Wars series.
I remembered when vaders helmet was shattered there was tears because 1 obi wans reaction that his best friend is truly gone and 2 how terrifying it looks when darth Vader said “I killed anakin” with such glee on his face (I dunno I guess I’m a bit of a scaredy cat)
You can tell Vader is struggling too with light and dark side. When obi Cuts his helmet if you look at his face the light of the light Sabers goes from blue and red and then suddenly turns all red
One thing that I think everyone is missing is that when he’s standing over Obi wan after he breaks the ground beneath him he calls him master which shows that he still thinks of him as a master and is conflicted between obi and palpatine.
"Lords Sith are our specialty" That's a jedi master fighting, not a jedi knight nor a padawan who was scattered through the galaxy after order 66, I loved how they have been giving the force abilities more screen time on this show
@@scapingby oh, you're one of those toxic fans, I'm sorry if my wrong writing made you feel bad, there's no need to be, it was simply an honest mistake
Obi Wan: "Then my friend is truly dead" Luke: "Then my father is truly dead" It's like poetry~^.^ (But, also, now that line from Luke in ROTJ hits even a little harder~~~)
I really love that Qui-Gon didn't show up in the Kenobibvs. Vader fight. Obi Wan is, arguably, the greatest jedi to have ever lived. The only reason he was able to beat Vader was because he is a fully realised Jedi Master. He didn't need Qui-Gon's help because he already had all the skill and power necessary to win. He just had to let to of his guilt and find peace.
Thank you guys for this video. Its wonderful watching you. Through your eyes with all the emotions are coming with - awesome. I am crying like a baby watching this part 6. This was a epic Star Wars moment. Greetings from Berlin!
The finale episode was fantastic and they improved Reva's character in this episode! Loved how she saw herself become the monster that killed her fellow younglings and she managed to hold onto her humanity and Vader and Obi's battle was probably even better than their fight in Revenge of the sith!
33:05: I am glad you loved the show, same here. Watching this in conjunction with celebration makes me love it even more. This is the golden age of my Star Wars fan experience too. It’s funny, I also thought of Satele blasting Malgus with rocks when Obi wan did that. 😆
As much as i hate to admit it, this is a true Jedi Master and a true Lord of the Sith coming to blows very near to their primes. Love or hate the series, this was incredible to see live action.
I loved seeing more force usage in the fights here. Reminds me of the cinematics of The Old Republic. Also when fighting a Jedi.....NEVER allow them to re focus. And I feel like the will do another season. They do have 10years of open time for Obi Wan to do adventures and stuff.
It shows that attachment is not really the source of problem: Obi-wan drew the light side of the Force due to his attachment, his mission to protect and in time train Anakin's children.
You know, I would watch a show which is about Reva struggling to let go of the dark side fully and learning to be a Jedi again while facing her past as an inquisitor while she find her place in the galaxy.
I disagree. But it's extremely refreshing to see such a positive comment on her character. I think with slightly better writing I'd be more interested in her plot. I was just hyper focused on Vader and obi wan. But this is a good comment
The only thing they got completely wrong... "Obi-Wan Kenobi? Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time... a long time. I haven't gone by the name of Obi-Wan since all before you were born." Yet, Leia and Luke are 10 and everyone still calls him Obi-Wan.
The whole series was such a delight to watch. This finale really cemented the Ani/Obi saga. I would be ok if it ends here. This felt like such a closer for both of them.
was it? haha it was fucking boring, the focus should not have been on Reva, this show should have been OBI WAN trying to bring Anikan back to the light.
Yes. I had my doubts about it after the fourth episode, but they nailed it. It hasn't been perfect, but aside from Empire, no Star Wars is. It has its flaws, but also moments of true greatness that far outweigh the negatives. Going to rewatch the series over the weekend.
I humbly thank you guys for the positivity, and seeing the star wars in this show even if there were some flaws in the plot and directing…this ep had me in tears honestly it was nostalgic.
There will be a season 2, I'm sure. Yoda is still out there, and it feels like once the dust settles from season 1, there's enough meat left on the bone for one more really good Obi-wan story.
Obi Wan using those rocks like barrage, is quite literally the Jedi Consular skill Telekitetic Throw from SWTOR...honestly good on them to borrow stuff from other SW media, the Force is powerful after all
In A New Hope, when Vader faces Old Bi Wan, he says the line about when last they met, he was but the learner, and now he is the master. I always thought he was referencing their Mustafar duel. But after the duel sequence in episode 5 of this series, I think he was talking about his emotional fixation on Obi Wan.
This episode was a VADERWAN dream ! 😍😜 great reaction video! I love how positive you two are about the series. Vader screaming OBI-WAAAAAN! Basically broke me 💔
