OBI-WAN KENOBI REACTION | FIRST TIME WATCHING | EPISODE 1 

Hello there! I had to mess with the original content a little more than usual to avoid the big Mouse. If you’d like a less copyrightfree version. It is available for my Club Tropicana Patreons. Thank you! Link: Patreon/KimEllendale

"Hope is like the sun. If you only believe in it when you can see it, you’ll never make it through the night."

I love the scene with Owen. It shows how brave he is, he doesn't even flinch. He's harsh sure, but his courage is beyond question. So glad you're reacting to this!

Ewan McGregor really channeled Alec Guinness more in this show, makes Obi-Wan feel like a half way point between the prequels and OG. That Tatooine Double Suns ages a person much faster.

Kim: "I can`t wait to see Leia boss her cousin around" Death Star: "About that, he won`t live to see her become Alderan`s ruler"

This whole first scene with Young Leia is pretty much perfect. She defies her parents and gets away with it. She does what she wants and isn't punished. Even when her mother punishes her by taking away her toy droid, she immediately steals it from her mom, gets caught, and he mom lets her do it anyway. No consequences for anything she does. It's a perfectly fitting childhood for the spoiled princess that Carrie Fisher played. In A New Hope, Leia was cold and vicious and bitchy to everybody, including the people saving her from execution, and she expected no consequences. But there were consequences and we see her learn and grow and become a better person through the trilogy. This young version epitomizes that spoiled child princess who never suffers any consequences. it's one of the few things the writers did very well.

Personally, I LOVE watching Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi again. He's my favorite character in Star Wars, and Vivien Lyra Blair is fantastic as Baby Leia, imo. Obi-Wan really didn't deserve anything that happened to him, from being a single dad to a hurricane when he had only just graduated Jedi School to just how badly Anakin went wrong. He did his best, and frankly did a freaking incredible job, considering. Obi-Wan was NOT one of the more powerful or promising Jedi as a youngling. By the time of the Clone Wars, he was acknowledged as the absolute master of one of the forms of lightsaber combat. He had a seat on the Jedi Council-and he was young. He had a reputation as one of the Jedi Order's absolute best strategists. He was an excellent investigator and so good at wartime negotiations it was his freaking nickname. And even when Anakin became Darth Vader, even when he hated Obi-Wan with a passion for what went down on Mustafar, Obi-Wan retained his respect. Obi-Wan remained Vader's ideal of the best of the Jedi, as you see in the way he speaks to and of Obi-Wan in the original trilogy. And both Anakin as Anakin and as Vader learned A LOT about lightsaber combat, strategy, and maneuver from Obi-Wan. Anakin's choices were his own, and the result of manipulation by Palpatine reaching back all the way into his childhood. I kinda love Owen and Beru. They are different kinds of parents than Bail and Breha. We're never told they wanted to adopt a child like the Organas did, and Owen and Beru's associations with the Skywalkers would be related to the painful murder of Owen's beloved stepmom. But they clearly didn't hesitate at all in taking Luke on. They clearly took excellent care of him and loved him every bit as much as Bail and Breha loved Leia. Owen in particular is as fiercely protective of Luke as anyone could ever be-even overprotective, but it comes from the best possible place in him. Love your intros, and love your thoughts. Glad you're enjoying the series.

Kim: (*unmitigated simping for Obi-Wan*) Me: Girl, saaaaaame! Your reaction is just an entire mood, the whole way through.

I hope you end up reacting to The Clones War animated series. You’ll see Anakin and Obiwan being a inconic duo and you’ll get to see more characters from the prequel movies.

33:23 In the Patterson Cut version, that Jedi is headless because The Grand Inquisitor didn’t stop Reeva from slicing him. It was edited seamlessly

Just wanted to thank you for all the content you're putting up. Your videos are a high point on the days I get to watch them, I can see there's a huge amount of effort on them and you still upload them almost daily. I don't know how are you able to do that but I'm surely glad you do ❤😊

I’m sorry, but I just gotta say I’m glad you’re pronouncing Qui-Gon’s name correctly now 😂

I love your “Ewan/Obi Wan” montage to Donna Summer’s “Hot Stuff”. I’m thinkin’ that I’d to get an extended or long play of that montage. It was wonderfully done. And I love all of your reactions. They’re 🔥

Yes, young Leia is on Alderaan. There is a hint from an earlier scene why Third Sister is searching for Obi-Wan. You missed it, but the answers will come.

Your intro edits are phenomenal! Just saying. 💖

I know there are so many scenes that you are going to love in this series! (And probably already have seen at this point.) Looking forward to the rest of this! Also, as always masterful commentary, if there are anyone who adds value to a show it is you. Much love from Sweden!

George did base a lot of his stuff on the Second World War … hell he even has storm troopers,hitler also had storm troopers the uniforms and so on when you think about it there’s lodes of comparisons

Hi Kim. I was 9 years old when I saw Star Wars in '77. And trust me back then no one was prepared for that. But a kid? I walked out a Sci-fi fan for life. Enjoyed your high energy reactions.

Yes! You can maybe watch 2 episodes at once and then edit as u want since the show is quite slow 29:20 yep it is 💡when you’ll watch Clone Wars, remember that the episodes are not in logical order, please follow chronological order list if u want the experience to be more enjoyable

A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.

Just a cool little fact. The guy who kidnapped Leah is Flea and Flea is the bass player for The Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Love that you pause and give your thoughts most of which are fun some 🤔 but always 😊. This ride is fun even though some of the fandom didn't really enjoy it

26:00 the acid test on a first date: are they polite or rude to the waiter staff?

So Excited for the rest of the series, thank you Kim!

Great work Kim, I never get tired of your hilarious🤣 commentary. catch you on Andromeda!

Excited to see your reactions of the coming episodes !!!!!

I have been watching you go through all of Star Wars and I am loving your reactions. Keep up the great work!

Some notes for context. Inquisitors are all force sensitive. Reva, much like Leia, can read people's emotions and, because of that, has strong intuition. It's not a learned skill, you either have it or you don't. So, while it may have seemed convenient, there is logic to it. Second, yes, the planet that gets blown up in A New Hope is Alderann. I'm glad that you're enjoying your Star Wars journey. The really nice thing about this show is that you don't need a lot of extra knowledge from outside the movies. Having seen every piece of Star Wars before this came out, I'm really interested to see your take on this since you're coming in from the other side.

You are insightful, know history and have an exuberance for storytelling that is fun to watch. Your editing is most excellent. Thanks for the great reaction, keep on keeping on!

thx for reacting to obi wan , i love this show !

Loved your reaction✨Thanks and have a Nice day❣️

Young Leia is the most perfect casting in the Star Wars universe.

The live action Star Wars shows and games use The Clone Wars and Rebels as a basis for the lore, so those are gonna have to be watched before the other stuff.

Your reference to the Holocaust, is worthy. In the SW universe, the Inquisitors of the Sith, were students of the Jedi, turned to the Dark Side, to hunt…Like the SS and local agents did, to find who they didn’t want.

You're gonna love this series!!

You are such a delight and a riot to watch. Thank you for reacting to my favorite thing in movie’s & television: Star Wars.

Fantastic can’t wait for you to see the rest

give it a chance. Some touchy parts. But have five tissue boxes for the last two episodes.

27:00 I love that Leia tells off her cousin. I love that she's smart. I'm not sure I'm on board with her being a 10 year old with a degree in Psychology. That level of psychoanalysis seems out of place for a 4-th grader.

Yes I’ve been waiting for your reaction to this 🎉

I love how stressed you were by Obi stealing from work :)

The writer for the Obi-Wan show has admitted quite a lot that he didn't watch the Prequels, which results in the show ripping off lots of moments from Rebels and Jedi Fallen Order, and not matching the films much.

I love your Star Wars reactions and theories. ❤

Kim that was the planet that was destroyed in the New Hope!

yes this planet is alderaan. it gets blasted by the first deathstar in ep. IV. you can always recognize the planet by its lush nature, snow covered mountains, dense forests and confined non-intrusive cities with high towers.

It is confirmed in the Star Wars Canon comic Darth Vader when he had his castle built on Mustafar and then in the Vader Immortal vr game. Vader/Anakin tried to revive Padme from the end of episode 3 Revenge of the Sith, but he couldn't see it because Luke and Leya were already born. Because he thought they died in her womb. So when he tried to revive her, he couldn't see them because they were already born. And then when he found out that he had a son, he wanted to be sure Darth Vader 2020 comic period between Star Wars episode 5 and 6. And some time after that, this cinematic Fallen Angel takes place.

Kim, i like your editing style

Alderaan's gravity is a bit denser than the homeworld of Leia's pursuers - which explains why they had to do that little hop-skip-jump to chase her and had trouble with the lag during pursuit.

Thank you, Kim! 🏔

The "Anakin" is strong with this boy.

Omg so many wow in this one

At 11:54: "The Jedi code is like an ick." Love it.

Can’t wait to see you watch the last 5 episodes of Obi wan Kenobi miniseries, eventually.

Hi Kim, I mean you're watching this but I'm eager for you playing Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor lol, love this !!

Please tell me i didn't have to wait another month to see your reaction to episode 2 your just so awesome with your reactions i can't wait

Did u notice the toy Owen gave back to ob1? It's the exact toy young Luke played with in episode 4

Definitely hoping you're able to get an editor soon. From what I've seen of other content creators I watch like you it is EXTREMELY helpful obviously and you definitely deserve it. This show is gonna be fun for you I can tell. Have a good one! 👏❤️

12:12 "Oh man, I hate seeing him like this." Too bad. It gets worse. He can't use the force. He can't defend himself. He said he was going to protect Luke but if just one of those inquisitors gets close, they will kill Kenobi and Luke and there's nothing this broken old man could do about it. We all hate seeing Kenobi like this. The writers said "Kenobi is almost the most powerful Jedi who ever lived. He can't face Palpatine or Vader (because they are alive in the Luke Skywalker movies), and there are no enemies with any kind of power even close to Kenobi's power. What can we do?" Then one of them said "I know, I know! We can make him a pathetic broken useless old man with no power at all." And another said "Yeah, yeah, then he can follow a 10 year old around the galaxy and let her do most of the interesting and useful stuff." And a third one said "Oh yeah, and we can let him lose lots of fights, right?" And a fourth one said "Yeah! Obi-Wan losing to, like, normal people with no power? Yeah, that's coooool!" Then a fifth writer spoke up and said "Are you sure the fans want to see Obi-Wan be crappy and useless like this?" So their boss fired that last guy and they wrote this show.

Yes, this is the Planet that blows up.

Thanks for reacting to the show Kim! It’s flawed and nowhere near the best Star Wars show (live action or animated) but I do still enjoy it. Mostly that’s due to Ewan McGregor’s performance and Obi-Wan’s scenes with Leia, finally giving him the chance to be a surrogate uncle to both of the Skywalker twins. Also love how both sets of adopted parents to the Skywalkers are good parents to them 🙂

I’m quite eager to see how you’ll rate all these new Star Wars shows. A vast majority of the series has been a positive surprise to me so far. I hope you’ll enjoy the journey as well.

15:11 "Playing Hayden Seek" ! 😏

Inquisitors are essentially force-sensitive underlings of the Sith. Usually either found, or captured and converted by force. They are trained in lightsaber combat but are intentionally left in the dark on some techniques so that they can't possibly rise to the level of the Sith themselves.

Enjoying your exitement at watching this franchise!! Cant wait for Rogue One!!!!

I love that my canada saved the Netherlands ❤. My grand dad died doing this.

2:08 Star Wars canon now: The Skywalkers hail from Ta-toon-knee! 😂 Love that name way better!!!

Thanks for the upload,Kim!😊 And yes it was alderaan. Destroyed by the death star in episode 4.

Thank you for pointing out the horrible Leia chase. LOL he's not hiding his meat stealing very well. maybe he's taking what he's owed. ???

Eye makeup is fire.

The planet shown is Alderaan, the planet destroyed in A New Hope.

There's a lot of I dislike about this series but there's a lot of good too. Some great moments, and some not so good moments.

10:00 "Kenobi. The bigger fish." Nope. That was Qui-Gon. "There's always a bigger fish."

Leia being forced to apologize isn't so much because she's a girl, but because she's in "polite society" and part of the nobility and the political world. It's not about the apology so much as it is about keeping up appearances and saving face.

Hey Kim, love your content! I just wondered how you record the shows to react to as it comes up blank on OBS for me, I've tried Chrome, Firefox and nothing working :( x

Tatooney!! 🤣

Goede reactie ! Je bent een leuke serie begonnen, begint langzaal maar wordt beter in latere episodes. Je zou The Mandalorian ook fantastisch finden. Ga zo door ! Ik heb plezier aan je accent, je vocabulair is heel goed maar ik hoor dat je Nederlands of Belgisch bent.

It takes place 10 years after Revenge Of The Sixth and 10 years before A New Hope.

29:09 "Is this the planet that gets destroyed in A New Hope?" Yes, it is. Alderaan.

29:16 Yes this is Alderaan, the planet destroyed by the Death Star in IV.

I thought that after the six Star Wars episodes you will watch 7, 8, and 9 too. It would be fantastic! But hello, the Obi-Wan series are also fantastic.. :)

Dam I love Kim's Star Wars reactions. She really is sharp as a Samurai Sword. She just .. gets it. She gets it as if she has been watching these movies over and over again since they came out. Yes Kim. That planet is Alderaan and yes it's the Planet Grand Modd Tarkin "tested" the Deathstar's Super Lazer on and destroyed in A New Hope. As far as why you want to cry... Is because yes... It is very sad, very tragic. Like I said you are very insightful. Very sharp. I know people who have been watching Star Wars for years and don't "get it" as well as you do. kudos to you Kim. Can't wait for Kenobi EP.2 reaction. Keep up the amazing work.

I don't know why people are always shocked and bothered that adults aren't sprinting full speed at a 10yr old in a fake chase scene

Obi-Wan is one of the most powerful jedi in the order before order 66. In the novelization of Revenge of the Sith Mace Windu says Obi-Wan isn't just a master of form 3 Soresu. But he calls him The Master of form 3. Mace is one of the most talented duelists in the Order. But he says Obi-Wan is better than him. Because form 3 is the defensive fighting style. By the end of the clone wars he could walk through waves of blaster fire and come out unscathed. Mace uses a form that kinda towes the line between the dark and light side. He uses this form because he has a darkness inside him and the form teaches him discipline. He admits his own weakness while complimenting Obi-Wan. Because Obi-Wans mastery of form 3 is a direct representation of what the Jedi are supposed to be. If you asked me Obi-wan would definitely defeat Mace in a duel. Because Mace wouldn't be able to touch him

Personally...I'd LOVE if you reacted to Andor...before Rogue One. It's my favorite SW content to date. Phenomenal stuff!

So fun to see you enjoying your way through the Star Wars galaxy. One question: Where are you from/What is your accent? I can't put my finger on it.

22:50 The thing I love about Reva's character is that she's a villain BUT she has the guidance of the Force. (In the Star Wars universe the Force is Fate and in any fictional story, Fate is the plot, yes, but when it's explained as being an intrinsic part of the nature of the universe we're viewing, I count that as good writing.) So, here we have a bad guy whose actions are guided by the fate of the plot _just like the good guys usually are_ and to me that makes her _terrifying._ (There are parts about this series where the writing could've been better, I agree there with the critics, but this particular point is one of my favourites.) It also makes her character's controversy with her own allies that much more interesting. Yes, she's headstrong and acts rashly and can't explain her motives to her own allies in a way that would foster their cooperation, but her blind instinct is _right._ She's _right_ but her allies are also _right_ not to trust her, because Sith who trust other Sith without being given proper, honest explanations will be preyed upon by their own allies. This is the intrinsic down-fall of evil itself, in- and outside of Star Wars.

Strange Qi-gon could not take another aprentice but Yoda had hundreds

28:10 the big thing about apologizing to her cousin was because they needed his dad’s support in the senate so they had to kiss up to all of them. 30:30 probably Flea messing around.

You should watch The Clone Wars. It's the best Star wars show. I'm sure you'll like it. Thanks for the reaction btw.

i see ur blind reacting to all the star wars content in chronogical order. thats awesome! i hope ur doing clone wars and rebels too since they are very important for future shows and movies

Hell yeah

She didn’t single Owen out for plot. She singled him out because he was the only one bravely looking her in the eye. Everyone else had their heads down. Which adds to your holocaust analogy. When new prisoners arrived in the camps, the overseers would single out and kill the ones who stood tall and let the fearful ones live.

I agree with your comparison of the Empire to that of Nazi Germany. Just amp it up to a thousand and you'd understand how brutal the Empire really is.

The guy that kidnapped Leia is Flea from The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and you are right that was the planet that was destroyed

Since you like L0LA, you might want to watch the movie "*Batteries Not Included". L0LA was based on little robots from that movie, so there IS a connection between the Star Wars universe, and Earth.

fun fact - the planet(Alderaan) where we see Liea will be destroyed by death star in a new hope by Liea

Kim, have you ever watched Saturday Night Live or was is Monty Python's Flying Circus tv show, one of them did a skit: NO EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION !

You should watch Andor and after that Rogue One. Only two things which came out of Disney which were good.

Once you're finished with Kenobi, Rogue One should be the next thing you watch.

You should definitely watch Rogue One after this. It's really good.😊😊😊
