Current Events > Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 4 Topic *SPOILERS*

(+) Yeah! (+)

Comes out tonight at 3AM EST. Simultaneous release with the first episode of Ms. Marvel.

Hyped.

Both shows seem underwhelming at this point

I believe it's Reva's turn to chase Leia lol

So it will be the same thing but with ominous bassy sound effects when Reva moves

Was that Tera Sinube in one of the "coffins"? And damn, seeing that youngling in there was just...yikes.

This episode makes me wanna replay that final level in Jedi Fallen Order.

That tomb chamber was pretty creepy.

Nice seeing Vader again.

I didn't recognize anyone but yeah that youngling was cray cray

Can't believe no Imperial caught why the old man in the oversize coat has four legs. Obi could have at least let Leia carry him on her shoulders.

Best episode so far and really shows how much Book of Boba Fett sucked (except for like 2 episodes).

"Let's shoot next to windows in an underwater base, then rush into the room even though it's pretty obvious it's about to flood."

I know stormtroopers are dumb, but that was so ridiculous it took me right out of the episode.

I thought this show was only 3 episodes long for some reason

Thought 3rd might have been bluffing about the tracker.

I knew she was talking about Leia's droid lol.

What was as equally impressive was when the stormtrooper misses the stationary Kenobi and instead bullseyes the hunter droid at the opposite end of the tunnel. Some real Benny Hill stuff

It was the best episode so far and yet still riddled with problems

Kenobi hiding in full view. Tala tickling the helmet of a storm trooper and he acts like he just got hit by the Hulk. The god damn scooby doo trench coat gag. Reva interrogation a 10 year old child about the underground Jedi railroad like she had anything to fucking do with it. The show trying to make us care about Wade, who had 40 seconds of screen time total.

But yet the action was great and the plot of this was decent.

I enjoyed this episode a lot more but Jesus Christ whoever wrote and is running this show should be ashamed.

I want so badly to like this show, and I love that they got Ewen McGregor and others from the PT to return, but it seems like it might have worked better as a cartoon.

Should have been a movie, man. Its just sad how low effort this entire thing is. Ewan, trying as hard as he is, cannot save this shit.

Loving it so far, the Jedi tomb/Vaders trophy room with the Youngling got me.

Look, no one can be expected to recognize Obi-Wan as the only guy in a cloak with a big person-shaped lump in his midsection.

I mean he's wearing a hat.

I think one thing we've learned through various bits of Star Wars media is that super secret Imperial installations/super weapons have garbage security teams.

Pretty good episode, though it felt more like filler. I liked the Empire stuff and Vader at the end was pretty crazy. Also that tomb was too creepy.

2 more episodes left.

It's so incredibly obvious that Reva is a survivor of Anakin's youngling purge at the Jedi temple that it's actually annoying how they're not just saying it

Almost a little insulting to the viewer tbh

If anything, these shows have at least given us the potential for Flea and Danny Trejo Star Wars action figures, or Lego minifigs.

I thought the episode was fun. I dont know. Im not some lore heavy Star Wars fan. I just want to see cool stuff with swan mcgregor

That was incredibly boring. The fact that they need filler in a 6-episode series is baffling to me.

Recall that it was originally supposed to be a movie.

I liked the episode, but yeah, Obi-Wan pulling off a TMNT-level disguise with a whole other set of legs underneath is laughably ridiculous.

I mean, they easily could have snuck out Leia in a way that was significantly less stupid. I'm baffled as to how that got a greenlight

Look props didn't have time to truss up a laundry cart to look futuristic.

Why can't Obi-Wan just mind trick people into letting Leia leave

Also, I could have sworn I saw Quinlan Vos in the tomb

It only works on the weak minded, so it most likely won't work on officers, and definitely not on the inquisitors. Even if you get past the Stormtroopers that way, you're leaving enemies at your back, which is a bad idea in an enemy fortress.

Why can't Obi-Win just mind trick Leia into not getting kidnapped every five goddamn minutes

At least The Boys is good...

I don't think so. I didn't see him there, and he probably would've looked at his tomb a bit longer, like he did Tera Sinube and the youngling. Especially after learning that Vos was still alive an episode ago.

Ya know between this episode and Jedi: Fallen Order, the architects of that fortress should really rethink the whole glass windows underwater thing.

Every episode has corresponded with the Prequel and original trilogy in some way

Episode 1 we have Obi-Wan seeing Luke/Anakin doing some pod racing things on tatoween (sp)

Episode 2 we see a clone trooper

Episode 3 Obi vs Vader

Episode 4 Rescuing the princess from Is getting tortured

Episode 5 ghost obi / Ghost Qui gon

Episode 6 Teddy bears!

Yeah plus they probably would have made a bigger deal of it.

I just thought I saw someone with yellow face paint, but it was probably someone else.

I feel the series is just ok, but far from what it couldve been. The story and path theyre heading seems alright, but the execution is far from great. It seems like they wasted the casting budget on Ewan, Hayden and Indira Virma (and probably James Earl Jones), cause everybody else has done a shoddy work and seems amateurish. This is a big problem with Reva since she is the main antagonist and most important character to the series besides Obi Wan. Small details during action scenes that arent well thought out and come out looking silly like the chases and how is that Darth Vader loses force powers with fire? WTF?

Ill keep watching cause its decent enough, but its not on mandalorians level.

Yeah, after explicitly name-dropping him last episode I feel like they would have shown Obi-Wan have some reaction if he were in there.

I just realized that we've been to Fortress Inquisitorius from Fallen Order. The whole thing looked familiar.

I wonder where the other Inquisitors are and why they only show us 3/4.

Maybe Cal killed a few more off in the meantime, lol.

Whoever did it, I would still assume the answer is several of them are dead by now.

Episode 5 ghost obi / Ghost Qui gon

Can you teach me how to use the force to see the future?

That back-and-forth between Obi-Wan/Vader at the beginning was so bizarre.

Remember Cal killed the 9th sister on Kashyyk. And the 2nd Sister was killed by Vader right after she returned to the light.

This is the second time Fortress Inquisitorious has been breached and underwater tunnels being a problem. It explains why Vader really doesn't care about the joint.

Yeah I agree with all of this. Decent plot, good action, a cool setting. But my immersion kept getting broken by painfully obvious flaws. Obi-Wan hiding behind that door then having to sneak over to the side when those 2 stormtroopers were walking towards him and easily should have seen him. The idiotic trench coat thing (there were a million ways to do that better). etc etc...

It's just dumb because those are easy things to avoid but there just wasn't any thought to them. Like a modicum of effort was all that was needed. Just one person looking at the footage and being like "well that looks stupid let's think of another way to do it better".
