Obi-Wan Kenobi is forced out of exile to rescue a young hostage with the Inquisitors in pursuit and the threat of Darth Vader looming in the background.
Obi-Wan Kenobi last appeared in a live action project in 2005 when Revenge of the Sith was in the theaters. Now, 17 years later, Ewan McGregor reprises his role as the Jedi Master in Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi. The former Jedi Master finds himself in exile on Tatooine while keeping watch over a young Luke Skywalker. However, his exile and solitude is shattered when a lone Jedi finds him and pleads for help from Inquisitors that are in pursuit. Not long after that, Obi-Wan receives an urgent plea for help from an old ally. This sets Obi-Wan on a mission that takes him from Tatooine and puts him on a collision course with his old Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, who has become Darth Vader.
In this fully armed and operational episode, we discuss:
- Our overall thoughts on Obi-Wan Kenobi so far,
- How much of a broken man Obi-Wan is at the beginning of the series,
- Obi-Wan’s interactions with Owen Lars,
- The Inquisitors and their pursuit of Obi-Wan,
- Alderaan and Princess Leia,
- The appearance of Darth Vader and his viciousness,
- Some of the Easter Eggs in this series, and more.
