We captured up with exiled Jedi Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor), 10-year-old Princess Leia Organa (Vivien Lyra Blair) and a bunch of refugees after they left from Darth Vader (previously Anakin Skywalker, played by Hayden Christensen and voiced by James Earl Jones) in episode 5. Obi-Wan sensed the risk to Luke through the Force, so I think hell have to get back to the desert world to challenge Reva. Uncle Owen (Joel Edgerton) initially regards the Jedi with his usual suspicion but warms to him when Obi-Wan acknowledges that Luke “simply requires to be a kid” and that the Lars defense is all the young fella needs.

Obi-Wan continues his trek to his new home in the Dune Sea, where well discover him in A New Hope, but comes across one last individual on his method– the Force ghost of his late master, Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson).” Well, took you long enough,” Qui-Gon says.The spectral Jedi recommends that his former Padawans previous despondence was the reason he had not shown up faster.” I was always here, Obi-Wan.
Lucasfilm
These somewhat trippy (however fantastic) episodes reveal that Qui-Gon learned the capability from mysterious Force priestesses.Over the next decade, leading into the Original Trilogy, Qui-Gon will teach this ability to Obi-Wan. This allows Obi-Wan and Yoda to use Luke counsel after their deaths. When hes redeemed in Return of the Jedi, Anakin will gain this power, while Luke and Leia will do so after their deaths in The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker.The other masterKnowing Obi-Wan is still out there, Vader throws a little hissy fit in his castle on the undesirable volcano planet Mustafar.

Its more of that classic Palps control, considering that he wants his Sith apprentice focused on galactic supremacy instead of revenge.The jab/subtle danger clearly leaves Vader staken.” Kenobi means nothing,” he states. “I serve just you, my master.” The Imperial March plays as we leave Vader, recommending that hes 100% Empire. Go group Sith.Palpatine, aka Darth Sidious, is obsessed with unfaithful death, however his usage of the dark side of the Force means he cant attain immortality by ending up being a Force ghost. He attempts to do so utilizing dark science and produces a cloned body for his spirit to retreat to after Vader eliminates him in Return of the Jedi, however its all yucky (as seen in The Rise of Skywalker). The rematch of the centuryThe centerpiece of the episode is the real fight between Vader and Obi-Wan, on a desolate moon that the Jedi entices his previous apprentice to, in an effort to draw the Imperials far from their pursuit of the refugees. Vader asks if Obi-Wan has actually come to ruin him.That impressive Obi-Wan posture.
Lucasfilm
” I will do what I must,” Obi-Wan states, echoing his line from the start of their Return of the Sith duel he embraces his traditional prequel-era pose.Its quite a contrast with the 3rd episode, where Obi-Wan was super rusty and got damaged by Vader.” Your strength has returned, however the weak point remains,” states Vader, breaking the ground with the Force and burying Obi-Wan alive.” Vader also has the high ground here– Obi-Wan should have known he was in problem.
Lucasfilm
” Anakin is gone. I am what remains,” he says, his James Earl Jones tone decreased to a somewhat digitized variation of Hayden Christensens voice.An emotional Obi-Wan asks forgiveness for what Anakin has ended up being. ” I am not your failure Obi-Wan,” Vader responds. “You didnt eliminate Anakin Skywalker, I did. The very same method I will destroy you.” This makes Obi-Wan accept that his friend and previous apprentice is gone. He walks away from the defeated Sith Lord, leaving Vader to impotently shout his opponents name.Even in animated kind, Vader gets incredibly troubled when his helmet is split open. Most likely expensive to fix.
Lucasfilm
Anakins previous apprentice Ahsoka Tano slashes open the right side of Vaders mask, exposing part of the fallen Jedis face.Like Obi-Wan, Ahsoka appears to get through to Vaders previous self momentarily. Only Luke Skywalkers love and faith can redeem his father, triggering the Sith Lord to renounce wicked and sacrifice his life to kill Palpatine in Return of the Jedi, 13 years after the events of the Obi-Wan series.
The redeemed Anakin asks Luke to remove his helmet altogether, exposing his face completely before he dies. Obi-Wan and Ahsoka powerfully break open his helmet to get to the gooey Anakin center and just see part of his functions, suggesting he isnt willing to expose his shame and guilt to them.Vengeance on TatooineSpeaking of Luke, Reva chooses to hunt down the young fella on Tatooine. This sequence comes within a hair of breaking continuity, given that Luke almost sees Revas lightsaber and she assaults him with the Force– 2 things his 19-year-old self has no familiarity with when Obi-Wan explains them in A New Hope.
Lucasfilm
Reva ultimately captures up with him however cant kill the unconscious boy after she sees her young self in him.” No, you have actually picked not to,” Obi-Wan guarantees her. Most of the other Inquisitors fulfill grisly ends in Rebels and video game Jedi: Fallen Order, so its cool to know theres at least one roaming the galaxy.
The principle of a dark Force user attacking the Lars homestead is similar to the non-canon comic story Old Wounds, which is readily available in the 2005 graphic novel Star Wars: Visionaries. It sees Darth Maul (sporting bionic legs a number of years before he d carry out in canon in The Clone Wars) coming after young Luke to extract his old adversary Obi-Wan. It ends with Owen shooting Maul in the head, and Obi-Wan burns the former Sith Lords body in the desert.Calm on AlderaanWith Leia safely back with her foster parents on Alderaan, Obi-Wan check outs as he guaranteed to. He likewise tells her about the qualities she acquired from her late biological mom Padmé Amidala and her presently wicked dad Anakin.” You are smart, recognized, kind-hearted. These are qualities that came from your mother,” he says. “But you are also passionate and fearless, forthright. And these are presents from your daddy.” Leia is reunited with her droid LOLA.
Lucasfilm
Secondary accounts like this may sorta explain why Leia remembers her mom as “very gorgeous, kind, however unfortunate” in Return of the Jedi. Because Padmé died simply after Leia and Luke were born in Revenge of the Sith, theres no other way Leia actually keeps in mind her.Obi-servations and Easter eggsNeeson will play Qui-Gon again in CGI animated series Tales of the Jedi, which strikes Disney Plus this fall. The stars son will voice a more youthful version of the character.Reva seems to get from Jabiim to Tatooine extremely rapidly. The timing of occasions in this episode makes more sense if you work under the presumption that Revas scenes take location after the Obi-Wan/Vader fight, instead of simultaneously.Ian McDiarmids Palpatine makeup is closer to his Return of the Jedi appearance than we saw in Revenge of the Sith and The Rise of Skywalker; I always got the sense that Lucasfilm had a hard time to duplicate that initial makeup in the characters subsequent appearances.Obi-Wans clothing in the final Tatooine scenes is similar to Sideshows Mythos figure, which was based on an artistic analysis of his look in between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope prior to this show was announced.I think the connection Leia and Obi-Wan create in this series is the factor shell name her and Han Solos boy after him (well, his Tatooine alias). A minimum of Ben Solo ends up alright in the end.Obi-Wan motivates Roken (OShea Jackson Jr.), to continue his project of disobedience. Its likely hell appear as Rebel Alliance leader in Andor (potentially in season 2, which will lead straight into Rogue One). The Grand Inquisitor (Rupert Friend) is brave to urge Vader to follow the refugees instead of Obi-Wan. Bonnie Piesse and her husband were members of the NXIVM cult, but left the group in 2017 and spoke up versus it. This is documented in HBO series The Vow.If you desire more Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan or Obi-Wan and Anakin adventures, have a look at the 2019 unique Master & & Apprentice or this years Brotherhood.Thats it for Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney Plus, but Star Wars will go back to Disney Plus on Aug. 31 with Andor, a Rogue One prequel series concentrated on rebel spy Cassian Andor.
