Hello there, welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show I'm your host Paul aka Homie One Kenobi
and this video we're breaking down one of the big teaser that's been dropped on Disney
Plus Day.
We've now had our first look at what's gonna be happening in the Obi Wan Kenobi show and
it kinda hints towards what's gonna be happening in the big Star Wars show.
I'm not gonna give a spoiler warning as there's not many leaks on it but if you enjoy the
video then please hit the thumbs up button and make sure you subscribe for more breakdowns
on everything that was announced at the event.
With that out the way, thanks for clicking this now let's get into Obi Wan Kenobi.
Ok so yesterday a sizzle reel for the show released that hinted at a lot of things that
will be happening in the series.
This was primarily narrated by Ewan McGregor and Director Deborah Chow who talked about
what it meant to bring Obi Wan back and what exactly would be happening in the show.
For months now we've known that Hayden Christensen will be returning to the role of Darth Vader
and that both he and Obi Wan will be sparring off against each other at a location that
many thought was Mustafar.
This was of course where they have their last confrontation in the timeline and after Obi
Wan got the high ground...both morally and literally, he left him to die.
However there's been a lot of back and forth over this and currently the fan community
is saying that it's actually onboard a Venator Class Destroyer which was actually the flagship
that Obi Wan had during the Clone Wars.
Now In a New Hope they kinda talk about how when they last saw each other that Obi Wan
was the teacher and obviously they're just kinda retconning this line a bit to make the
show way more interesting.
However the sizzle reel did kinda hint towards the direction that the show is gonna be going
and it stated that at this point in time that the Jedi are on the run and being hunted down.
In the concept art we could catch an inquisitor landing on Tatooine and you might recognise
this as being Trilla from Jedi Fallen Order. This is gonna be a big character in the show
and I absolutely love that they're bringing her over from the video game world as she's
such a cool character.
Alongside this we also saw Obi Wan riding on top of an Eopie so it looks like they're
really bringing back a lot of the iconic animals and locations from the prequel trilogy. The
last time that we saw Obi Wan in the prequel trilogy he had one of these with him so it's
a great bit of attention to detail that they've got that back.
Now going beyond this from what's been said about the show, Obi Wan will be continuing
his mission to protect baby Luke. I kinda find it funny that the whole thing in the
Disney Star Wars shows is about protecting a kid and we've of course already had Grogu
and Omega. So yeah getting Baby Luke now too and Obi Wan is gonna be attempting to make
sure that Vader never learns about him.
I think the way that the show will go is that the Inquisitors will travel to tattooine in
order to hunt down the Jedi and here Obi Wan will probably go head to head with them before
he has to travel out into the Galaxy.
We saw several shots of other planets and also some some snowspeeders or T-47 speeders
if you wanna be a nerd.
You're such a nerd mate aren't you.
Anyway we could also catch Darth Vader speaking to a hologram and though people have speculated
that this is the Emporer, typically Vader tends to kneel when speaking to him so I'm
guessing that it's someone else that's either an inquisitor or an imperial officer. It does
look more like a hooded figure though so I would lean with the former over the latter.
Now as for my thoughts on the series, I'm really hyped for it as I think that Ewan McGregors
Obi Wan was one of the best parts of the prequel trilogy and by far he's the character from
that that deserves a spin off show.
He really managed to recapture Alec Guinesses performance and it's gonna be brilliant watching
them bridge the gap between the prequel trilogy and a new hope so we can kinda learn all the
ins and outs of exactly what's happened with him.
I know there's some bits that are being retconned but in all honesty I would much rather they
do minor stuff like this and build upon the story than be forced to keep things rigid.
The Mandalorian is an amazing show and I'd absolutely love to see this kind of thing
brought over to the Jedi. We of course have the Ahsoka series and also Star Wars Acolyte
which are both projects that I hope show off some amazing lightsaber battles whilst they
also build on what's come before.
It just helps to flesh out the universe so much and getting both Ewan and Hayden back
shows how much they care about crafting a really good and enjoyable story.
Out of all the star wars shows announced this is the one that I'm the most hyped for as
it's Obi Wan and you know that they're gonna bring out the big guns for it.
So yeah, great to know that's coming soon and I'm really excited to watch it.
