from obi-wan kenobi episode 2 if you haven't seen the episode yet we'll be talking about everything
i don't know if i'm getting into spoiler territory here can i can i say anything that possibly gets
into spoiler territory here but just starting at the beginning of the episode the actual opening
shot is of obi-wan kenobi ship landing on this new casino looking planet daiyu it's meant to be
kind of like the space version of hong kong during this episode he also calls again for
master qui-gon jinn's help making me think again that he will show up in a cameo scene eventually
they also reveal our next big celebrity cameo it's temura morrison coming back but as a cameo
scene for a clone trooper down on his luck busking for change on the street as regular
stormtroopers walk by on the street just meant to show you that during this part of the timeline
they were slowly phasing out all the clones they were slowly dying off it was until closer to the
events of rogue one that most of the clones had died out not all of them but most of the clones
i'm still kind of expecting torah morrison to come back as rex during the ahsoka live action series
too like he could come back as many clones as you want him to they set up the whole thing with him
using the spice to throw off the attackers later in the episode by giving him that giant dose
you want to buy some death sticks you don't want to sell me death sticks i don't want to sell your
death sticks you want to go home and rethink your life i want to go home and rethink my life but the
dealer also mentions kessel pure glitter stem and fellution felucia is a planet that shows up during
the clone wars and spice just in general has many many different purposes and uses in the galaxy
most people just think about it as a drug though but when people think about spice they think about
kessel they think about han solo solo a star wars story takes place later in this timeline so as
these episodes are happening we haven't seen that stuff play out yet the little kid winds up taking
him to hajja kumil nanjiani's character they have this big funny scene with him pretending to be
a jedi and helping people escape planet but also kind of stealing their money at the same time he's
meant to be like a scoundrel type character with a heart of gold kind of like han solo like he tells
obi-wan kenobi i helped these people but i only took a little bit of their money like their purse
is a little bit lighter that's all they have this whole thing with obi-wan kenobi refusing to use
his jedi abilities though not using his lightsaber he uses a blaster so uncivilized like everybody
just played the clip in their heads every time they see him punch somebody or pull out a blaster
so uncivilized the whole idea as he says to young leia is that he's trying to hide his abilities the
more he uses the force openly the more he outs himself but most of this episode is meant to be
a big call to action like he is eventually forced to use the force literally to save leia's life
you notice when he's scoping out the drug lab too he starts playing with his mustache and his beard
twiddling it the same way that you see him doing the prequels which is also meant to be a mirror
like a parallel trying to mimic alec guinnesses obi-wan kenobi with the way he plays with his
beard in the original trilogy when he gets into the hallway fight here this is a zabrak just like
darth maul just from a different part of their race with a different color skin he's still a
zabrak though as far as they've said darth maul isn't supposed to appear during this series but
he is alive in this part of the timeline in the middle of running his crime syndicate then the
kidnappers reveal the trap that they set for him is all about reva the other inquisitors trying
to get him they make this big deal about jedi bleeding which i think is meant to be a reference
to how hardcore this series is compared to the way they played his character during the prequels like
you don't actually see obi-wan kenobi bleed that much during the prequels if at all in the idea
that again he's refusing to use his jedi abilities like they literally just take his lightsaber right
off of him and punch him in the face but then they try to play it against this funny joke about him
trying to save leia with her attacking him and then questioning the whole situation just to
show you how smart how precocious she is at this young age like she could potentially save herself
if things weren't quite so crazy it's also meant to be evocative of the scene of luke skywalker
trying to rescue her on the death star when she kind of took him to task and sassed him a little
bit before they took off like wait a minute aren't you a little short for being a stormtrooper oh you
are here to save me okay let's go when they're trying to escape the funny thing here is the
cloak that he puts her in this orange one is meant to look just like the cloak that padme wore when
she was pretending to be one of her handmaidens during phantom menace later in the episode when
they're in the hangar bay he also tells her you remind me of a friend that i used to have no no
she died a long time ago just to say that she acts just like her mother did that padme did nothing
you just remind me of someone she was fearless too and stubborn the grand inquisitor shows up
with the other inquisitors to punish reva for overstepping and stealing an imperial senator's
child they're all very evil but their alignment is lawful evil they have a very clear sense of order
so like i said evil eventually defeating itself it sounds like the inquisitors will take care of
each other eventually or somebody within the ranks of the empire will help take care of them setting
up this whole idea that she is too quote unquote ambitious for her own good and eventually that's
going to wind up force choking her in the ass like maybe darth vader himself will wind up killing her
when she explains why she chose bail organa because she sensed this connection between him and
obi-wan kenobi in the archive she's talking about the jedi archives and the amount of information
they were able to steal from the jedi before the jedi librarian and the other jedi were able to
destroy them so they have some of the information contained in the jedi temple but not everything as
obi-wan kenobi explains to young leia during this episode all the inquisitors are basically former
jedi or former padawans who are turned to the dark side and are now hunting their own basically
like they had that whole intro during episode one showing young reba as a padawan being trained
during order 66 while it was all going down just to foreshadow her eventually being turned to the
dark side becoming an inquisitor for instance the grand inquisitor actually used to be one of the
temple guardians at the jedi temple on coruscant he was one of the people at ahsoka tano's trial
and he took a lot of that to heart and felt like the jedi were actually leading him down
the wrong path so that by the time that order 66 came along he actually made the decision to turn
to the dark side and help the emperor so that's when he became the grand inquisitor effectively
when he tries to throw shade on reva about how she came from the gutter and they only took her
in basically to their ranks because of her jedi abilities they're just trying to reference that
they basically took any force sensitives they could find and twisted them to the dark side
it's also meant to dovetail with what you saw from leia's cousins like her cousins don't
seemingly care about normal people as much as they should the way that the other inquisitors are very
elitist and they don't care about less fortunate people like oh you come from the wrong side of the
railroad tracks the only reason we're letting you stay here is because you have some force abilities
also setting up a huge rivalry between the rest of them you notice the picture that she circulates
around the planet is of obi-wan during revenge of the sith because his beard is way more kempt there
are a couple funny jokes that young leia tells obi-wan kenobi about how he looks so old i think
that's just meant to dovetail with why he looks so old during a new hope in the alec guinness version
because ewan mcgregor still looks almost the exact same like he hasn't aged a day but he's meant to
look like alec guinness within a couple years time span like not a lot of time goes by before a new
hope so they're just joking about that when she's like oh you look old enough to be my grandfather
a lot of you asking about this assassin droid that you saw during the trailers this isn't meant to be
for loam it's just a similar type of droid it's a brand new character though when he tells young
leia that her father is a very old friend of his he's not lying because both bail organa and
anakin skywalker were good friends of his in the whole thing with her running off on her own it's
just trying to show you how resourceful she is trying to save herself but also force obi-wan
kenobi's hand and make him use his jedi abilities they also use a lot of this chase to show you some
of reva's force abilities too camille's hajja character winds up helping them out pointing
them towards this planet called mapuzo it's a planet in the mid rim because a lot of this
takes place in and around the mid rim then they have that funny scene with him trying to stall
reva and her using her force abilities to pull the information of obi-wan's whereabouts from his mind
they just want to show you that she does have some skills like it's not all meant to be talk
and bluster they have the grand inquisitor kill fleas character r.i.p with that double-bladed
lightsaber it works just like you saw during star wars rebels with the hilt spinning around
obi-wan kenobi would probably have some funny things to say about that criticizing it like
that seems like a flashy lightsaber hill you don't need to spin around and do all those crazy things
then this whole scene of reva versus obi-wan kenobi with her stalking him talking about his
fear betraying him is meant to be a reference to darth vader stalking hunting luke skywalker
on the second death star during their big fight scene just playing cat and mouse with him trying
to get inside his head she also references darth vader verbally and anakin skywalker for the first
time in the series 201 kenobi and it's meant to be this huge wtf moment the way they play it like a
big reaction on his part because previously he had thought that anakin skywalker had died on mustafar
that's why he freaks out so bad when he hears that the other big reveal here too is that reva
and apparently the other inquisitors know that darth vader used to be anakin skywalker and within
the empire that was meant to be a relatively big secret even grand moff tarkin said that he truly
did not know for certain whether or not darth vader used to be anakin skywalker he suspected he
was but he wasn't sure about it i think what they might be doing on this series is just saying that
she knows that anakin skywalker used to be darth vader probably because she was a padawan and would
have seen him at the jedi temple and probably heard some rumors about it behind the scenes
just because only a couple people within the empire had actually confirmed the news that he'd
become darth vader doesn't mean that there weren't a lot of suspicions and a lot of rumors being
passed around the inquisitors would have also had access to a lot of information that regular
imperials would not have had access to but just to give you an idea for how private he was exactly
very few people actually ever saw him without the armor on so like even though reva talks about him
being anakin skywalker she probably has not seen him underneath the armor even though i
think what they'll do is they'll show obi-wan kenobi eventually wounding him so that you see
his helmet kind of broken the way that you see during rebels so that you can tell that it's
hayden christensen's anakin skywalker underneath the armor there would have been no reason for them
to actually bring hayden christensen back if they weren't going to actually show him
anakin skywalker underneath the armor that's the reason you bring him back she also tries to kill
the grand inquisitor by running in through his chest with the lightsaber but remember the grand
inquisitor doesn't die to the events of star wars rebels way later in the timeline so unless they're
doing a big retcon here i think that he'll wind up surviving this encounter like he'll show up
in later episodes they'll reveal that he survived also i think the whole existence of darth vader
just in general being able to survive even though it takes a lot of technology to help him survive
is more evidence that the grand inquisitor could potentially survive this body shot there is still
good in him he's more machine now than man but remember the inquisitors don't know anything about
leia or luke's real identity even though they know that anakin skywalker is darth vader that
scene of her twisting that knife in obi-wan kenobi metaphorically is also meant to be evocative of
darth vader twisting the idea of leia inside luke oh if you won't turn then maybe your sister that's
right your sister can be turned later in the transport as he's still in shock he actually says
the name anakin out loud still freaking out over the reveal as they cut to the shot of darth vader
hayden christensen himself stewing in his back the tank opening his eyes in his castle on mustafar
in that same chamber that you saw during rogue one for those of you asking if darth vader was
actually sensing obi-wan kenobi and leia through the force he didn't actually learn that leia was
really his daughter or her true identity until the events of return of the jedi he might have had
suspicions early on but he didn't actually confirm it until return of the jedi when he's having that
conversation with luke so it is possible that he felt a disturbance in the force because both
of them were there but he might not have totally understood what he was sensing through the force
like he was powerful but he couldn't pinpoint obi-wan kenobi exactly where he was on that daiyu
planet leaving if he'd been able to do that he would have been able to sense him a long time ago
but a lot of that gets into obi-wan kenobi hiding his force abilities not using the force grogu was
doing the same thing as a way to hide himself from the emperor and darth vader the other inquisitors
like i said i think they're only going to flirt with the idea that the inquisitors might wind up
finding out who luke and leia are but they don't actually find out or maybe someone like reva finds
out and then as she tries to turn good and help obi-wan kenobi then darth vader kills her before
she can reveal leia's true identity or luke's true identity somehow they will find a way to
preserve the timeline so that he doesn't actually find out till later so the whole idea is that in
episode 3 next week we'll probably see him back in the armor way more actual darth vader scenes and
they'll probably have a couple encounters during the series the way they talk about it they won't
just be one rematch like they'll see each other encounter each other a couple different times
obi-wan kenobi also almost used his lightsaber during episode two i think that they'll wait
to have him actually use his lightsaber till later on when he actually confronts darth vader
but like i said the whole thing this last 10 years is that darth vader has been trying to find
obi-wan kenobi that's been the biggest thing on his mind they also revealed that he's slowly
been trying to kill the anakin skywalker identity within himself like there is this
small light of goodness within him as he's slowly trying to deepen his connection to the dark side
of the force he's basically trying to extinguish everyone the anakin skywalker used to be within
himself but i think part of the idea with the title of episode 4 a new hope is that something
will happen in his encounters with obi-wan kenobi his rematches that will help lead that spark that
will eventually bloom into something during return of the jedi where he does turn good again and kill
the emperor or try to kill the emperor to save luke skywalker but even though this episode
just focuses on them going to tatooine to try and find obi-wan kenobi and these are the rogue jedi
that's basically what they've been doing for the last 10 years even though he's mostly been
looking for obi-wan kenobi they've also been busy hunting many many other jedi survivors and other
force sensitives around the galaxy or a younger child like the one that the mother was trying
to save that hajja helped during the episode even though he took their money they'll basically take
that kid and then try to twist them to the dark side and raise them as another inquisitor so the
whole idea is that if hajja had not saved them even though he stole their money that kid would
wind up being just like the grand inquisitor just like the fifth brother just like reva eventually
and if that wasn't clear they actually did imply that that little kid was force sensitive and that
was the reason why the mother was so willing to pay all that money to get them off a planet but
