We captured up with banished Jedi Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor), 10-year-old Princess Leia Organa (Vivien Lyra Blair) and a group of refugees after they ran away from Darth Vader (previously Anakin Skywalker, played by Hayden Christensen and voiced by James Earl Jones) in episode 5. Obi-Wan sensed the threat to Luke through the Force, so I think hell have to get back to the desert world to face Reva. Uncle Owen (Joel Edgerton) at first relates to the Jedi with his typical suspicion however warms to him when Obi-Wan acknowledges that Luke “simply requires to be a young boy” and that the Lars protection is all the young fella requirements.

Obi-Wan continues his trek to his brand-new home in the Dune Sea, where well discover him in A New Hope, but comes across one last person on his way– the Force ghost of his late master, Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson).” Well, took you enough time,” Qui-Gon says.The spectral Jedi recommends that his former Padawans previous despondence was the factor he had not appeared faster.” I was constantly here, Obi-Wan. You simply were not prepared to see,” he says. “Come on, weve got a methods to go.” Qui-Gon died in The Phantom Menace.
Lucasfilm
These slightly trippy (but fantastic) episodes expose that Qui-Gon found out the capability from mysterious Force priestesses.Over the next decade, leading into the Original Trilogy, Qui-Gon will teach this skill to Obi-Wan. This allows Obi-Wan and Yoda to offer Luke counsel after their deaths. Once hes redeemed in Return of the Jedi, Anakin will acquire 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 tosses a little hissy fit in his castle on the undesirable volcano planet Mustafar.

He tries to do so using dark science and produces a cloned body for his spirit to retreat to after Vader kills him in Return of the Jedi, however its all yucky (as seen in The Rise of Skywalker). The rematch of the centuryThe focal point of the episode is the real battle in between Vader and Obi-Wan, on a desolate moon that the Jedi entices his previous apprentice to, in an effort to draw the Imperials away from their pursuit of the refugees. Vader asks if Obi-Wan has actually come to ruin him.That epic Obi-Wan present.
Lucasfilm
” I will do what I must,” Obi-Wan says, echoing his line from the start of their Return of the Sith battle he embraces his traditional prequel-era pose.Its quite a contrast with the third episode, where Obi-Wan was extremely rusty and got battered by Vader.” Your strength has actually returned, however the weak point remains,” says Vader, cracking the ground with the Force and burying Obi-Wan alive.” Vader also has the high ground here– Obi-Wan must have understood he was in difficulty.
Lucasfilm
” I am not your failure Obi-Wan,” Vader responds.” This makes Obi-Wan accept that his buddy and former apprentice is gone. He walks away from the beat Sith Lord, leaving Vader to impotently yell his enemys name.Even in animated type, Vader gets incredibly troubled when his helmet is cracked open.
Lucasfilm
Weve formerly seen Vaders cracked helmet in the epic season 2 finale of CGI animated series Rebels (which happens a few years after this program). Anakins former 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 across Vaders former self for a moment. His rage and bitterness quickly overcomes the connection, and he tries to attack his one-time friend.Its informing that neither Ahsoka nor Obi-Wan, 2 of the individuals Anakin was closest to in his old life, can bring him back. Only Luke Skywalkers love and faith can redeem his dad, causing the Sith Lord to renounce evil and sacrifice his life to kill Palpatine in Return of the Jedi, 13 years after the occasions of the Obi-Wan series.
The redeemed Anakin asks Luke to eliminate his helmet entirely, exposing his face totally prior to he passes away. Obi-Wan and Ahsoka powerfully split open his helmet to get to the gooey Anakin center and only see part of his functions, suggesting he isnt happy to expose his embarassment and guilt to them.Vengeance on TatooineSpeaking of Luke, Reva decides to hound the young fella on Tatooine. Aunt Beru (Bonnie Piesse) informs Owen theyll protect their nephew at the homestead and takes out a cache of blasters they had ready for this situation. Its cool to see prequel trilogy actors Edgerton and Piesse getting some action, but theyre no match for the highly trained Reva (even though the former Inquisitors injuries and insecurity are probably slowing her down). This series comes within a hair of breaking continuity, considering that Luke almost sees Revas lightsaber and she assaults him with the Force– two things his 19-year-old self has no familiarity with when Obi-Wan describes them in A New Hope. Given how disorienting being chased after must be, its simple to imagine he forgot much of this.Reva struggles to deliver the killing stroke.
Lucasfilm
Reva ultimately captures up with him but cant eliminate the unconscious kid after she sees her young self in him.” No, you have chosen not to,” Obi-Wan guarantees her. Many 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.
It sees Darth Maul (sporting bionic legs several years prior to he d do in canon in The Clone Wars) coming after young Luke to draw out his old adversary Obi-Wan. It ends with Owen shooting Maul in the head, and Obi-Wan burns the previous Sith Lords body in the desert.Calm on AlderaanWith Leia safely back with her foster parents on Alderaan, Obi-Wan gos to as he assured to. He also informs her about the qualities she acquired from her late biological mother Padmé Amidala and her presently evil papa Anakin.
Lucasfilm
Secondary accounts like this may sorta discuss why Leia remembers her mother as “extremely beautiful, kind, however unfortunate” in Return of the Jedi. Given that Padmé passed away just after Leia and Luke were born in Revenge of the Sith, theres no other way Leia in fact remembers her.Obi-servations and Easter eggsNeeson will play Qui-Gon once again in CGI animated series Tales of the Jedi, which hits Disney Plus this fall. The actors son will voice a more youthful version of the character.Reva appears to receive from Jabiim to Tatooine extremely rapidly. The timing of events in this episode makes more sense if you work under the presumption that Revas scenes happen after the Obi-Wan/Vader battle, rather than 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 constantly got the sense that Lucasfilm had a hard time to duplicate that original makeup in the characters subsequent appearances.Obi-Wans outfit in the last Tatooine scenes resembles Sideshows Mythos figure, which was based on an artistic analysis of his appearance between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope before this program was announced.I guess the connection Leia and Obi-Wan create in this series is the reason shell name her and Han Solos son after him (well, his Tatooine alias). A minimum of Ben Solo turns out alright in the end.Obi-Wan encourages Roken (OShea Jackson Jr.), to continue his project of disobedience. Its most likely hell show up as Rebel Alliance leader in Andor (perhaps in season 2, which will lead directly into Rogue One). The Grand Inquisitor (Rupert Friend) is brave to advise Vader to follow the refugees rather of Obi-Wan. Bonnie Piesse and her husband were members of the NXIVM cult, but left the group in 2017 and spoke out versus it. This is recorded in HBO series The Vow.If you desire more Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan or Obi-Wan and Anakin experiences, take a look at the 2019 novel Master & & Apprentice or this years Brotherhood.Thats it for Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney Plus, however Star Wars will return to Disney Plus on Aug. 31 with Andor, a Rogue One prequel series focused on rebel spy Cassian Andor.
