I still can't get over the writers expecting us to respect Reva as if she made a courageous decision not to pointlessly murder an innocent and defenseless child.

Vader using Earthquake implies he may be Ground type which explains perfectly why Obi's Rock Slide isn't very effective.

"Have you come to destroy me" asks vader after chasing obi wan down and walking up to him.

“She would’ve murdered Luke if she hadn’t been beaten by her own baffling contradictions.” Sums this up very well

Tattoine, for a back water, sand-covered, outer rim planet that, to quote Luke Skywalker, “If there's a bright center to the universe, you're on the planet that it's farthest from”, it sure has a sh*t load of important stuff happening on it.

Leaving Vader broke canon beyond repair. The entire point of the OT was that Luke needed to be trained because Obi-Wan and Yoda failed to kill the greatest evil in the galaxy and it was his job to right their wrongs and bring light back again. But now that's not the point of the OT. Obi could've prevented the destruction of Alderaan, the death of billions at the hands of Vader, maybe giving the last of the jedi a fighting chance against the emperor who held no apprentice, and hence, the need for Luke and to wait almost 15 years for the Empire to fall wouldn't have been necessary. Now Luke had to train, millions more had to die, the rebellion had to be formed, all because obi wan was a fucking pussy who didn't have the balls to kill his friend WHO HE CLAIMS WAS DEAD at the end of their fight. This entire show was a fucking waste of time that should have not existed.

Also, why does nobody point out the issue with how the Light and Dark side work here? Obi-Wan gains a huge boost of Force power when he thinks about how important Leia is to him, while Sidious says Vader becomes weak because of his hate and obsession towards Obi-Wan and should let it go. What the hell? I mean don't the Jedi train to distance themselves from their personal attachments to attain greater affinity with the Light side? And don't the Sith gain more power from their feelings of hate and resentment? Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I think Disney totally forgot how the Light and Dark side should work in Star Wars...

I personally regard everything post-Disney Star Wars as non-canon. It makes things better.

My wife, who normally gets on me for groaning at bad writing, was even saying things like "so how many light sabers are buried on that planet, fuck at that house?!?!" and "why the hell hasn't anyone shot or stabbed Reva, she just chased Luke into the desert, he looks dead, why are you all just standing around?!?!?" XD her reactions almost make this show worth it

As a long time female SW fan...thank you. You took the words right out of my mouth. It is SO patronizing to see that the only way these shows know how to make a female character strong is to knock the male character down. I rolled my eyes when Beru "takes charge," in part because her plan is wrong (running away is the best course of action against a Sith), secondly that she magically knows when Reva will attack, and lastly, that Owen--who has always been shown to be the more authority figure in that house--has a deer in headlights look on his face. Seriously? I like that he fought Reva despite his crappy odds but there was no need to make him look like a confused idiot.

I’m convinced they don’t hire bad writers. They hire “yes man” writers, those who are willing to give up the need to write something artistic and engaging and will say yes to whatever the executives need. We need baby leia to be the central character to set up our Teen Leia spinoff series. We need random ass Reva to occupy at least half the run time of every episode and not die at the end because we need to sell a spinoff. We need to have Hadyn Vader for the marketing. We can’t feature Owen too much because he doesn’t check enough woke boxes. The people who write for Marvel and Star Wars now have to accept that taking the job means you’re a commercial writer, not a creative writer. Any writer who adamantly disagreed with any of these caveats either wouldn’t have taken the job or would’ve been let go early on.

"Hey remember Qui-Gon? Here he is for a 20 second cameo. He can't be around much longer because you might remember how he died and people in this show walked out of the same wound like they just fell down or something"

All the tie fighters in the galaxy must have been in their respective hangars getting oil changes during this entire series.

When they were running out of time & Obi-Wan had to surrender himself, so they could escape *two episodes in a row*, it was almost as cool as when Leia got kidnapped & had to be rescued *two episodes in a row*. Absolute top-tier writing. #RIPStarWars

I'm still confused that Obi Wan's tiny ship was able to make the lightspeed trip Tatooine almost instantly and make it there in time on the same night as Reva almost killing Luke. Using a hyperdrive doesn't immediately make one arrive at their destination but rather can take hours or days depending on distance.

If a beam of ultra hot light been pushed through your abdomen doesn't just kill you outright then I don't know what will. Flynn got a light saber up the spin and thewe was no blood. Two people in this series got light sabers right through the belly which houses your most vital organs apart from the brain and they survived. I wish I lived in that universe weren plot amour can save your life. Oh I forgot, I'm not allowed to speak sense because if I do I will be called a bigot or something.

When Vader says "and that is why you will always lose" I immediately said "because good is dumb"

If Obi Wan as powerful as they made him in this show, what is the need to wait 10 more years to train Luke? The whole plot of the original trilogy is that Luke is the "New Hope." Only he (and maybe Leia)can defeat Vader and the Emperor. Well Obi Wan just defeated Vader. He now knows that there are other Jedi out there and how to find them. Why would he not kill Vader and he and Yoda find and train the other Jedi and go after the Emperor? Now the whole plot of the Original trilogy makes no sense.

Let's not forget that Qui-Gon said that most people in Mos Espa were moisture farmers, so the chances that a lot of the people in Mos Eisley are moisture farmers is quite high... and yet space moses finds the exact farmer she's looking for immediately.

To give the writers credit, they came up with a brand new side of Darth Vader's helmet to be broken open during the final battle.

The fact that palpatine suggests that vader holding on to the past weakens him is stupid. Palpatine literally made Vader’s suit painful and clunky so he WOULDNT forget his past and his failure to kill Obi Wan thus strengthening him and his anger

This is where the fun begins.

Character writing like this makes me appreciate how well written my own life is.

I remember seeing an excuse for Luke Skywalker not knowing what a lightsaber was - he simply repressed his encounter with Reva, it was too traumatic. Yes, that was a real excuse.

When Reva stands over an unconscious Little Luke (who ran away) with her lightsaber ready to strike, it’s like poetry. It rhymes with the other contrived, predictable, banal shit we are trying to forget from Disney.

Apparently, when Vader's mask is damaged, he goes right back to saying "didn't", where Vader would always say "did not". It's one thing that his voice changed when he became Darth Vader, and explaining that with the helmet. But the damn helmet does not explain his syntax changing! I don't think I've ever heard Vader using a contraction.

The imitating the Grand Inquisitor was hilarious 😂

I will never acknowledge this show as canon. What they did to my boy Vader is unforgivable.

I feel so sorry for all the life long Star Wars fans... I will unfortunately know how you guys feel when Rings of Power comes out😞 that will be the first time a franchise I’ve adored since I was a child gets brutally fucked in half infront of my eyes

16:40 Obi-Wan gives Leia Tala's Blaster holster. Tala sacrificed herself using a Thermal Detonator, while still having her holster. There's a reason they're call Thermal Detonators. The reason being of course, they function via a Thermonuclear reaction. Conclusion. Tala's holster should be nothing but smoldering ash.

A lightsaber wound would be absolutely catastrophic. It vaporizes and burns all flesh involved. This show singlehandedly retconned how deadly lightsabers are/were. Fuck Disney.

"There is no excuse for using two scenes to do what you can do with one." Like most modern creators, they always think they're going to be the next big thing and get infinite time to flesh out their ideas.

"Strong Wamen" characters just means poorly written female characters and it should be stated as such. These "strong wamen" characters aren't strong just projected power in a pathetic manner.

I know people are gonna try and counter argue Reva's terrible arc by using Vader in ROTJ. Vader's redemption arc is through Luke's perspective. Anakin gave his life to save his son reassuring Luke that there is good in him.

Owen and Beru supposedly had this grand defense plan, then tell Luke to just run, in a desert with no where to hide. No actual plan like telling Luke to run and hide in the canyon within walking distance that somehow exists now but doesnt years later when Luke is looking for R2. Like maybe you could justify it as they dont want to know where he goes in case Reva reads their minds but they dont know she can do that because she conveniently forgot she could do that when she interrogated him in ep1. But then Owen and Beru just give up trying to stop Reva and wander out in the back yard yelling his name when he's trying to hide from Reva who is right behind him but cant catch him but knows where he goes but still cant find him. And no one thinks to follow the footprints in the sand. And I'm literally losing brain cells trying to make coherent sentences of this nonsense. Idk how you can make a whole video lol

I always thought it was so funny how badass they tried to make Luke's aunt seem in the face of a SITH yet they end up burned by storm troopers that can't even hit a target that stands still.

Kenobi's ship was a prototype, it didn't have a hyperdrive it has a plot-drive which creates a plot hole the fastest form of transport, it gets you where you need to go and get there when you need to not a moment before. hehe, good job again, cannot wait for the rap up next week.

Not only was Kenobi fortunate enough to find a planet, but one with a perfectly breathable atmosphere.

THANK YOU for saying what needed to be said. Videos like this one are the only thing that offers hope that intelligence is not completely dead. May the Force be with you.

I'm in my 30s and can still remember when I was 10 years old. It's just plain unbelievable that Leia wouldn't remember Obi-wan. Ridiculous. They did not need to involve either of the Skywalker twins.

This Kenobi show really makes you appreciate the OT and the Prequels more, doesn't it? Also funny how Ashoka breaks one side of Vader's helmet in their fight, Obi-wan breaks the other side of Vader's helmet in their fight, I wonder what's next? Next person who beats him (who will probably be Reva in her spinoff show....) will break the middle part of his helmet so only his mouth will show? Then next time they only break the very top of his helmet? I wonder how many ways can you break Vader's helmet. What if we would just poke little holes into the eyes of the helmet and draw a smile on it with a lightsaber? Surely they can't overdo that...

The fight between Vader and Kenobi seemed way too similar to the Ahsoka vs Vader fight.

One of the things I hate about the new force powers is that it completely invalidates the terror felt when you see Vader force-choke someone or Palpatine shoot lightning. Those were supposed to be the most intimidating moves of two of the most powerful dark side force users, but now we have people shooting mountains at each other while sharting out lightning storms so large it cripples an entire fleet...

I shall never tire of the Grand Inquisitor impression ar 18:05. Genius.

"Failure is not the end. It is a necessary part of the path. Hope will always survive in those who continue to fight. [...]" - Jedi Master Eno Cordova

Vader/Anakin is supposed to be - " the chosen one" and a master swordsman....... Yet he hasn't even mastered how to successfully poke someone with a lightsaber? You'd think he'd be pretty accurate with it by now? After literally decades of using it( killing people). As Anakin he failed to kill a defenceless unarmed little girl, even after she was impaled by his weapon that would instantly kill anyone else, and can turn a reinforced solid metal doors into dripping molten metal, within seconds? Then year's later you'd think - Ok, by now Vader has finally figured out how to use his lightsaber accurately (Nope.) He failed to kill her again? for the second time, and in the exact same way? And again the writers give no explanation for how something so impossible and improbable could happen, twice? Then "Reva" of course successfully and predictably survives to the end of the show, where she is lovingly embraced by Kenobi with open arms, and told she's great by him? Apparently only Caucasian and alien younglings can be killed by a lightsaber......It's almost like a bunch of complete morons wrote this show.👍

Your Grand Inquisitor impression is absolutely fabulous!

The excuses fans made for this show were wild and the goalposts they gave moved further every episode.

I grew up with Star wars in the 80's. It seems that all the love and mystery from that era is gone now. This Disney/Star Wars is the end of all that magic.

Even the line "then my friend is truly dead," is stolen from Luke in Return of the Jedi. Luke says to Vader "then my father is truly dead." Its a neat call back, but it makes this all feel cheap.

“You didn’t kill Anakin, I killed him…from a certain point of view”

your excellent rendition of the grand inquisitors voice had me in tears hahah

My dissapointment with this series in immeasurable and my love for Star Wars in ruined.

That Grand Inquisitor impersonation was uncanny. I almost thought he was in the room with me. Amazing performance 👏👏👏

Ya know this isn't mentioned at all really, but during the fight between Obi-Wan and Vader, Vader force holds Obi-Wans' lightsaber and has a clear advantage over Obi-Wan, but yet bats the saber away instead. This is twice Disney has done this move and I don't know why they think it's cool.

I almost spat my drink out when you started this ridiculous Grand Inquisitor impression :D

I will say that Luke did meet Ben at least once growing up. Luke:“ I wonder if he means old Ben Kenobi”. Later in the movie Luke knows who Ben is after being saved by him Obi-Wan Kenobi: Tell me, young Luke, what brings you out this far? Luke: This little droid. I think he's searching for his former master. I've never seen such devotion in a droid before. Ah, he claims to be the property of an Obi-Wan Kenobi. Is he a relative of yours?

31:49 This. This is why I've always hated the term space wizards and preferred to see the Jedi and Sith as monks or a type of swordman. Thank you for covering it.

“They’ve turned the force into Harry Potter magic!” just broke me.

So apparently while you’re being shot at by a Star Destroyer you can escape in a shuttle…because that scene in A New Hope where Star Destroyers have a specific gun crew with life scanners for tagging escaping shuttles didn’t happen (?)

The thing that really pisses me off, is that some parts, some aspects of such failures like "Kenobi", Disney "sequel trilogy", last seasons of "Game of Thrones", some shots, takes, scores or scenes - are pretty good, valuable and are wasted by being used as a part in an overall terrible movies/shows. It's like putting a really good engine on a half-sinking, rotten, wooden rowboat.

Cannot believe I missed obi Wans ship suddenly having hyper drive, well done pointing that out.

I just cant justify this entire plot to begin with. Obi wan is endangering Luke so damn terribly in every regard. If he's captured - He can be squeezed for information before being offed. If he escapes - He will be hunted for eternity meaning Luke would be permanently in danger for as long as obi wan lives. If he dies - Luke is never taught about the jedi and ironically becomes and imp pilot like he wanted. Unless Obi wan had a complete broken psyche, was an emotional wreck and was at near snapping point having to juggle the entire fate of the galaxy whilst simultaneously having to face his past trauma, am I the only one that cant rationalise what's going on? Couple episodes in and he's literally profiled into the empires system and in direct combat with not only its elite forces but it's own right hand! He's proven to be a large threat and is Vader's last connection to humility and former self within their current understanding. You're not returning to a life in hiding by that point. You're on the run, which again, endangers the chosen one. You are now the galaxies most wanted (outside of mon mothma) no matter how much that laughable scene of Palpatine OF ALL PEOPLE telling Vader to chill says otherwise. Ridiculous.

Thank you for bringing up the issue of MUSIC! The Obi-Wan show has been criticized a lot (same as the rest of the Disney-Plus Star Wars shows). But hardly anyone ever brings up the problem of scoring, the issue of music! However, it is a fact that - whether you're a conscious appreciator of classical music or not - Star Wars (up to a point) has always had outstanding music. And the quality of the scoring/composition has had a huge effect on that distinct "Star Wars feel". Why does Star Wars feel so generic now? So un-special? I'd venture to say: It has (among other things) A LOT to do with the quality of the music. The music in Star Wars has become generic, boring, uninspired. It's TV show music. Just that. And that's very un-Star-Wars-like.

Its ruination of the lore and characters cannot be understated. I'm done paying for Disney Wars.

so i guess jedi are super human now, giant rocks just break against their skin, and why use a lightsaber when you can just terraform the ground and throw massive boulders. and that creepy moment with Kenobi and Leia XD, and now we are led to believe she just kind of forgets who he is?

Yea, the problem with these hyper-competent women characters is that they’re portrayed as so overly brave and thorough that the plans they wind up coming up with turn out to make NO SENSE-happened in boba fett when fett wanted to fight the final battle in his palace, but the “strong” female girl said she won’t ruin the city or some shit (even though that’s EXACTLY what wound up happening); the last Jedi-with the purple-haired librarian commander who-for no reason- told NOONE her brilliant, master plan to save everyone (which makes NO sense); happened in the rise of skywalker, ren offered to take Rey to Palpatine like 30 minutes into the movie-but NO, she was too independent (even tho that’s EXACTLY where she wanted to go), only to basically go to the emperor at the same time as ren two hours later.. and now with EVERY female character in this series, who can beat all males up, outthink every male from stormtroopers to Vader himself, and have more balls than Jedi and common men alike.

As someone who’s never scene the cartoons, that scene between Anakin and Obi WAN really got to me, it made me emotional. Now I feel cheated because they just took that from somewhere else? The one good scene is still creatively bankrupt 😑

I can give 1 credit to the show. I discovered your channel because of it. I really enjoyed your previous videos on this show so just keep up the good work 😁👍

Aunt Beru had blue eyes... The original Aunt Beru was the spitting image of my dear grandmother, and so I had a particular fondness of her in A New Hope and seeing that character in Obi Wan has just been a catalyst of all the things I hate about Disney Star Wars. You closing monologue brought to mind how MauLer's KZfaq success first took off. It was immediately after the theatrical release of The Last Jedi and he released his 'An Unbridled Rage' video in response, and since that opportunity he has really done well. You have a very similar view on these subjects, and you are both very articulate in expressing to us (and for us) why we reject these things and what it is that makes them so depressingly abhorrent. Never look a gift horse in the mouth, I look forward to seeing more of your channel in the future. TL;DR - I agree. Good luck, great video!

My friend and I watched this show together about a month ago and one of the things I kept repeating throughout, half sarcastically, was "I can't wait for her redemption arc." referring to Reva and her unbelievably forced character interactions. There is one thing I have said I want since Disney acquired Star Wars and that was an Obi-Wan show. I love the character, to the point when I greet people online and in person I use the "Hello there" with the goofy inflection from episode 3. Unforunately, this show was such a betrayal that I wish it was never made, and I doubt I'll ever be genuinely excited for new Star Wars film/TV. I think I'll just stick to my classic games and movies.

Keep doing what you're doing and keep making your videos......We need you more than ever now.....Brilliant.

Screw this series. Vader orders the entire ship to turn around for Obi-Wan, letting the rebels go, (instead of using a magnetic beam, or sending tie-fighters, or just keep firing...)... but ends up getting into his shuttle and flying after it himself , thus missing out on the rebels for no reason at all. Obi-Wan trusts Leia to some random rogue who has already seeded his transmitter... The duel with Vader is miserable. They wave their swords like baseball bats in episode 9, and the Force has generally turned into an anime - they crush rocks and make craters in the ground, but they can’t break each other’s bones in the same way ... they can withstand the blows of multi-ton boulders ... Obi-Wan, without jokes, becomes a god thanks to the power of friendship and lifts weight much more than Yoda ... at some point he hits Vader with the HILT of the sword ... cuts his back, but that doesn’t paralyse him ... and most importantly, he doesn’t finish him off for the second time, although he himself said his friend is dead... Vader does not call the cruiser to shoot down Obi-Wan's ship, but it turns out that he has a hyperdrive, which makes the whole last episode even more pointless, since he and Leia could fly to Alderaan on it all this time already at the end of episode 4 .. . Owen and Beru do not set any traps for Reva in the doors, they only shoot her one at the time, do not catch up with her on a speeder, do not evacuate on the speeder, do not call the local police, the same Jabba the Hutt (with the promise of money), and Luke is advised to run on foot into the desert, to the Tuskens... Reva with a hole in her HEART can easily fight, run and carry weights ... And finally, she, who cuts off the hands of all those who disagree, throws knives at people, kills everyone in her path, hunts the Jedi trying to kill them, tortures a 10-year-old child , suddenly cannot kill Luke, because he sees himself in him (but not in Leah) ... by the way, why? Does she know he's Vader's son? How? And Obi-Wan forgives her, although he saw what she was doing and Tala died because of her... Now the whole Empire knows that Bail Organa communicates with Obi-Wan, they are looking for him all over the galaxy, but at the same time Obi-Wan quietly flies to Alderaan to chat with Leia... Obi-Wan communicates with Luke, although Owen told him in A New Hope that he died at the same time as his father ... Qui-gon, it turns out, can appear without any meditation, but the whole series did not do this ... As a result - Obi-Wan, Owen, Beru, Bale failed their missions to protect children, and they are only alive because the Empire and Vader are even more incompetent, and Reva suddenly became kind ... and now we are waiting for a series about her ... Thank you Disney, now you've ruined every single character in the original trilogy. Star Wars is long dead, and there's no more room for nails in the coffin.

You did the grand inquisitor voice. Thank you! The wife watched that part twice. Your review was outstanding again.

Nobody expects The Little Platoon Inquisition. I love that voice you do so much.

Great impersonation of the Grand Inquisitor. I got the vibe that the actor was trying his best to come across like a discount Bane from Batman Begins. Wasn’t impressed.

Disney be like: Platoon, you are a RACIST, because you criticized a serie with a character of colour.

Praise the maker…you so eloquently verbalized what I could not about this thing they called Obi-Wan…subscription well deserved sir!

6:52 Let's not underestimate the raw, titanic sex appeal of Uncle Owen. Reva was probably thinking about hunky Owen ever since.

I thought qui gon can't manifest into a ghost cause his training was incomplete he can only communicate through voices

I find it interesting that Disney has the rights to all of the starwars library since 2012. The Kenobi Legends book is a worthy candidate to make an Obi-Wan show, heck even a movie trilogy from and KK says, "there's no source material." I would think the business that purchased a fan beloved franchise would surely use the already established lore to base films and shows on and definitely let the person in charge know that. But no, Disney is blinded by their greed to be an entertainment empire rather than do the right thing and follow that story

When obiwan was buried by the rocks I was thinking how stupid that would be as the reason why Vader gave up looking for obiwan for 10 years. But then obiwan survives “beats” Vader and just dips, and that’s way fucking dumber than just having Vader assume he was dead squished by rocks. I also wonder why Vader can’t simply sense that obiwan is alive and using the force to hold up the rocks when just a few scenes before Vader could sense obi wand every movement

I'm convinced Disney used the Kenobi show to launder money. I cannot see the supposedly large budget in any facet of the production.

To totally mess up an opportunity like this, a series about Obi-Wan, it's just so sad. It makes me so sad, I can't see any hope for Star Wars at all anymore. I remember watching A New Hope back in 1977, I had never seen anything like it, it blew my mind. Today I wish I could unsee all the garbage so that that first marvelous impression would be stained.

your grand inquisitor impression was hilarious and on-point.

"I will do what I must." "I have failed, Anakin. I have failed you." '"Well then you are lost!" "You *were* my brother, I *loved* you." Obi-Wan already came to terms with Anakin and forsook him in ROTS. So the scene with him and Hayden with the crack in the mask, as decent as it was, had no reason to exist. Would have been much better had they adressed the morality of Obi-Wan abandoning Anakin to the flames of Mustafar rather than execute him.

This was one Hell of a ride through this series. I'm even tempted to watch it, somehow, to see if my brain works at least half as hard as yours in analyzing it... Whatever the case, I can see why you experienced great channel growth. The series was fun to watch, informative, hilarious, and got me thinking about a long-beloved science-fantasy hexalogy.

Y'know, they actually COULD have made the running out of fuel thing in last Jedi work if they'd instead posed it as running out of energy for the shield generators. So instead of the ships just somehow stopping in space, it was just the shields fell and left the ship fully vulnerable.

I do not understand how people can even attempt to defend this show

I can feel your anger… it gives you focus, makes you stronger. Hell at this point with Disney… all of George Lucas’s fan would be a Sith… from my point of view.

Obi: I want to train Luke. Also Obi: Lemme just hide my lightsabers in the middle of the desert. Not like there are scavengers here lol. And really guys?? You expect me to like Reva just because she didn't kill a child? Didn't realize that not killing a kid will absolve you from all the crimes you've done. Well done for giving her praise Obi!

There is no chance Obi-wan would leave Vader for a 2nd time. No matter the Canon, Obi-Wan realizes what leaving Anakin alive did to the Galaxy.

@15:00 Yeah but also, Aunty is proposing to fight an inquisitor with Force Powers while she and Uncle have blasters. Like, do they not know what they're dealing with? Imagine someone telling you Darth Vader is coming to your home to kill your kid, and your wife’s response is, "we're going to stay and fight him! Here's a blaster, take up positions!" Like WTF woman do you want to die??

Episode 1 Leia kidnapped Episode 2 obi rescues her Episode 3 Leia kidnapped Episode 4 obi rescues her Episode 5 not enough time obi must surrender and be at the mercy of reva Episode 6 not enough time obi must surrender and be at the mercy of reva

Reva, a woman who's spent her entire adult life murdering people for the empire, and whose only supposed motivation is killing Vader, now knows where Luke is hiding and that Obi Wan is protecting him, and Obi Wan lets her go, knowing all that, because she chose not to murder Luke this one time? This show destroys Obi-Wan on so many levels it's insane.

This made me laugh so hard thank you for this very comedic perspective I am newly subscribed and I will be watching a lot can't wait thank you again

one thing that's really been bugging me about this series, the series obviously shows that although he won't admit it, it's very much still anakin in a suit, he fights on emotion compared to the OT, yet considering they took this approach, I cannot believe padme wasn't even mentioned, in my head that wouldve made a very good idea on how Kenobi could best him in a battle, use his love for padme and make him fight too much on that emotion, a bit like what he did with his arrogance in ROTS

The grand inquisitor impression is hilarious (I had to watch it at least 10 times) and completely worth this review (which is awesome btw)!

47:53 There’s actually a canon reason for this. Did you know there’s a radio show with many of the original actors that was made between Star Wars and Emprire Strikes Back? It retells the first movie and fleshes out a lot of scenes and characters. Most notably, Leia has a lot more happen before her first movie scene. We learn she’s been secretly working with the rebels and obtains the stolen plans. No, not like in Rogue 1, that’s a retcon, but similarly. They jump from the heist to Tatooine to pick up Obi-Wan. Bail Organa told her to do this after she got the plans because they needed him in the fight. Leia makes no indication she has met him, only knows him by reputation. Then Vaders star destroyer show up and they realize the ship is tracked and there must be a traitor on board. At this point, they cannot contact Alderaan or Obi-Wan directly as any transmitted message will be intercepted, so she opts to download the compromising data into R2 and the rest is history. The radio show isn’t easy to find. A family member gave me cassette tapes with recordings as a kid (since lost or broken), and I only recently acquired a set of used cds. Definitely worth a listen though.

Binged these reviews, excellent analysis and entertaining. Your voice is fantastic I wish I had it
