I hate the “cutting yourself off from the force” thing. First Luke, now Obi-Wan. It’s a pathetic way to create an arc for established characters. Yoda was depressed longer than any of them and was arguably more responsible for the whole Jedi downfall bc of his strong connection to the force and being in a leadership role. He just chose not to use the force and be a hermit.

Obi-Wan should be retaining his understanding of the Force rather than giving up simply to train Luke or protect him, and Luke himself should absolutely not call quits when that is antithetical.

"Adapted"? Surely you can't be serious. The actors portraying those two inquisitors proudly established they didn't read up or study the Rebels Incarnation of those characters, demonstrating they had no respect for the way the characters had been developed by others. When you have preestablished characters you adapt to that character, you don't adapt the character to you. Being able to portray the character as it was originally created while minimizing the changes you make is a show of talent and respect for yourself and for the creators of that character. If it took you some time to realize what the character was, that should a be hint and a half for you right there. There was no adapting!

Abrams' adaptations were always influenced by the contemporary culture, which certainly harmed them. The emotional lability and childish outbursts in Star Trek 2009 are a great example of that. Films are always products of their times, and there was a lot of cultural change between 1966 and 2009. What we consider a normal person, what becomes the baseline for writing dialogue and character behavior in a film, is radically different today than it was in 1966. We have quite different expectations of characters. In 1966, a man screaming uncontrollably would have been laughed at. Today, it's just drama. It comes down to the loss of social norms and taboos, that's always going to creep into our media. And a hero is just a normal person plus some heroic qualities. Since self-discipline isn't expected anymore, it's no longer idealized in our media. Which is unfortunate, because while culture informs films, films also influence the culture, and they can reinforce negative trends like the degradation of our understanding of virtue, the trivialization of etiquette, etc. But all of this is largely unconscious, so it's hard to blame someone like Abrams for it. Some filmmakers do a great job of consciously avoiding this, and can even convincingly write ancient characters for example. But that's really, really rare. So I don't really fault Abrams for having internalized our contemporary character defects and unknowingly incorporating them into his adaptations of e.g. Spock, even though it contradicts Spock's well-established nature as a Vulcan (self-discipline being one of their defining traits). But I think these more recent franchise films and TV shows are very different. I think they have an express agenda. They aren't letting contemporary culture creep into their work and distort established characters. They are intentionally deforming established characters. They are even hiring the original actors (like Ewan McGregor and Mark Hamill) to reprise their roles, yet asking them to behave completely different. Just look at the pathetic, cowardly way Ewan carries himself physically in this show. He literally runs like a scared little girl, constantly hunched over, his wrists flapping limply at his sides. That doesn't happen by accident. If you asked him to play Kenobi, he would obviously naturally play the same character he played in the prequel trilogy. Since that's what he practiced for. To get him to behave in this grotesque way, you'd need to give him constant direction. You'd need to yell "cut" and correct him every time he instinctively acts like a man. The fact that they put so much effort into degrading and inverting these characters, even with the original actors, tells me that none of this is accidental. I can't say what exactly is their ultimate goal, but it seems to me they are trying to alter what we (the audience) understand heroism to be. They want to change our role models. Which means they want to change how we act, behave, think, and feel. It would not surprise me if they simply think this will make the male population more docile and less likely to revolt. Which will be important in coming years, as the banks buy up all the houses, as the great oligarchic powers increasingly want us all to crowd ourselves into rental apartments and live like peasants. I'm reminded of the bank robbery trope, where the bank robber says to all the patrons, "Everybody get down. Nobody try to be a hero." With each generation, our concept of heroism erodes a little more. It's already lost the quality of self-discipline, which can be seen in Star Trek's childish outbursts and tantrums. What more will it lose? Will there come a day when it is considered heroic to sit down, shut up, and make room for more important people? Isn't that kind of what they're getting at when they race swap characters anyway? The diversity agenda feels a lot like a vehicle for the domestication of white men. Convince them that the most heroic thing they can do is to go extinct or be subservient to the great idols of the new religion, and I guess it's a lot less likely that they will organize in armed resistance. So, frankly, it does seem plausible to me that the reason these adaptations are always so bad in exactly the same ways is because it's a social engineering effort. I really can't understate how important movies and TV shows are for culture, and especially for what we revere and idolize. These are our role models. If we are taught to model ourselves after Ewan McGregor in the Kenobi show, that is going to have a major effect. A single TV show won't have much effect, sure. Most people will completely reject it the first time they're exposed to these inverted role models. But we are inundated with a constant stream of this crap. Eventually, little bits and pieces are going to get through your armor. After multiple generations, the influence will be undeniable. The reason these soulless reboots and rehashes always castrate beloved male characters and introduce new female characters to handle the actual action is because that's how they want us to behave. They want men (the only people who can actually overthrow tyranny) to know their place, and they want women to act like how men used to act. Also probably helps to control population growth. And maybe the masculinization of women helps to demoralize men. These are just conjectures, of course. But what I'm absolutely certain of is that, unlike the flaws in Abrams' work, the character assassination in Disney Star Wars (and in many other franchises, like Amazon's Rings of Power) is intentional. One can only guess at what the intention is, but there absolutely IS an intention of some kind, with 100% certainty.

I would like to point out that it is no longer possible to shoot tatooine in the desert they shot it in 77 anymore. Due to the fact that it was originally shot in Tunisia which today is prone to terrorist attacks and war. It even was kinda dangerous back in 77. Funny story, George Lucas almost started a war between Algeria and Tunisia with the sand crawler set, the governments mistaked it for a tank.

I hated her as soon as I realized, as @Xehanort10 put it, she's just "Lemme kill Obi XD" and the inquisitors just...what the fuck did they mix up the script with a crime thriller where the criminals keep telling them not to blow the whistle? That's the only option that is even 1% correct. They're not Jedi Sympathizers wasting Imperial resources and forging Jedi deaths so can't go with that. they had some backstory but they wasted it by waiting 6 episodes. A good writer knows how information adds tension, rather than takes away from it. a Hack writes things as they go without editing. It reminds me of the Lost in Space Netflix (Episode 1 so not really spoilers.) Throughout the episode, there's a robot that's endlessly chasing the child and the rest of the family is stranded because the space station was destroyed and they to use escape pods. Fine setup, but kid is just running from a robot that doesn't seem that scary. End of the episode shows a legion of the robots slaughtering the Humans in the aforementioned space station, revealing they were the ones to attack and the kid should've been scared. If that 'flashback' was just the episode start, it would've made the chase scene much better in both tension, impact and scare. It adds the needed context so the robot at the end of the episode helping them leads to questions a good writer can answer like "Is this a deviant? Are they all deviants with corrupted programming and McAfee Anti-Virus finally got off its lazy ass and deleted the virus? Are they okay with life but Humanity got close to say an ancient precursor?" That episode was, in all seriousness, truly an episode of all time. The characters were distinct and alright, the plot made sense and the conflict otherwise well-established, even if it didn't grab me. Move that in front of the show, I'd have confidence in the writers. Kenobi truly is one of WORST shows of all time with budget and starpower. It is a dumpster fire of wtf. The actors were good and that's it. No logic, common sense fucking ANYTHING. I checked. The Writer had NOTHING of note he wrote. If you have confidence in him, give him a show like Andor. Low stakes and if it's bad, who cares? Why aren't you grabbing your A+++ writers for fucks sake on this shit. Kenobi will draw in all the viewers by it being about a beloved character alone. How the fuck do you anti-manage it to the point where I honestly question if Disney is trying to kill Star Wars at this point. Judging by the first episode of Andor alone, that is a negative because that show has a plot end of sentence, unlike Obi-Wan. I entered rant territory but I mean everything I said.

Remember when "cut off from the force" was an incredibly painful and traumatizing experience akin to losing a limb or becoming blind in the EU? Only caused through extreme physical and spiritual trauma or genuinely mystical and esoteric exposure to powerful force techniques or extreme and violent death en-masse? Now you can just not use it for a while because you're a little sad and it atrophies to the point where even a Master is reduced to the strength of a youngling. Thanks Disney.

I'm always glad to be reminded that most of us truly hate this dumpster fire, very cathartic video. Great editing too.

If they were gonna do a kenobi show it should've simply been a character study of both kenobi and Vader running parallel to eachother. It would've worked exceedingly well had they simply showed us the struggles of kenobi to find self worth on backwater planet and his attempts to contact qui gon thru the force. They could've shown him fighting off raiders and pirates while struggling not to use the force and bring unwanted attention. Then on the other hand, we see Vader still trying to find obi Wan as he ruthlessly and personally runs thru jedi after jedi in hiding, using any methods he can to obtain information. We can see his struggles to understand and deal with his injuries, his uncomfortable suit, and his weekly dead skin removals as all those things breed even more hate for kenobi and make him more powerful in the dark side.

Thank you, Sheev. for teaching me patience. I rarely write comments, but in this case I have something to say. After watching "Obi-Wan Shitmobi", I thought a lot about alternative ways that the creators could go to make the show better. And damn it, it took me less than a month to come up with at least three options that could also interest fans. The first option is an anthology series that tells about the adventures of Obi-Wan in different periods of time. I mean, that's what they do in canonical comics, and it's fun to read. Plus, a TON of fanservice could be inserted into it, in the person of Anakin, Qui-Gon, Yoda, and even Ahsoka, which in any case would benefit Disney. Yes, it would have to spend a lot of money, but hey, they already have $25 million for each episode. The second option allows the creators to bring Darth Vader and Obi-Wan together in a duel, while not breaking the canon - by testing the Force. Let Qui-Gon come to his padawan and show him the same path that Yoda showed in the Clone Wars. And Force, as we know, can do almost anything. In addition, such a variation would close the insistent plot hole. And the third option - just film the novel by John Jackson Miller! Yes, I know, it accelerates quite slowly, there is nothing there except Tatooine and Obi-Wan does not do anything extraordinary there (except for the battle with the krayt dragon), but it would be a very strong and emotional story that would also allow showing several strong female heroines (like Ennilyn or A'Yarg), Kenobi's emotional experiences and even save a lot on decorations and effects. If people liked "Book of Boba Fett", then such a show would also suit them. But no, instead they decided to make a story that tries to close the white holes of the Original Trilogy, after fundomentally breaking its plot.

I had no idea they said Obi-wan did not know Anakin was alive in this show... LMFAO... just wow.

I just had a really cool idea for the bar scene: What if after throwing the knife it was still stopped mid air, but without the obvious hand from the jedi. The Inquisitors would just know the jedi is in the general area, and the grand inquisitor could give another cool speech about how pathetic the jedi are for adherring to their code while walking from person to person giving them intense eye contact. Youd think he would try to find the jedi that way but then he just gives a hand signal to which reva or the fifth brother just start executing people in the bar at random, to which then the jedi would reveal himself. He would still use the force to push reva, but because thats a bigger feat in the force he would use the obvious gesture to channel it. Hed use the momentum to run away since he knows theyre only after him and him alone. I think its a cool idea and it would show the authority of zhe grand inquisitor even more and how ruthless the inquisitors really are, plus it would show how they are directly trained by vader, since he uses the same tactic later in the show

That first scene with the Jedi temple attack completely telegraphed that Reva was at the Jedi temple. It is baffling that they didn’t cut it out. It’s bad enough people already guessed it by how much she was featured in the trailer. It actually could have been interesting if they went the other way and have the audience know Reva was trying to infiltrate the Sith. She could have been struggling with having to do horrible things to get to Vader and having to avoid suspicion. That would have made for a character with actual stakes since we know Obiwan and Leia cant die at this point.

@@omarrojo9484 true man but it’s an Adam Sandler movie, that’d be like watching Just Go with It over and over which is I think objectively terrible

Imagine receiving millions of dollars from Disney to write and act out your cringe fan fiction about star wars you wrote in high school, bad acting and directing included. That's the world we live in for some reason; utter incompetence supercedes craftsmanship, care, and artistic merit. How dystopian

This show should have just been a retelling of Shane(1953) with Ben as Shane and Luke as the boy character. Make up some moisture bandits Owen’s been having trouble with, mix in some ptsd flashbacks to Anakin when Ben gets in combat. Have Ben team up with a hired hand/bounty Hunter from Mos Eisley whom Ben befriends. This character eventually double crosses our hero for a final showdown accomplishing two things 1. Doubling down on Ben feeling betrayed by his friends 2. Adding context to “wretched hive of scum and villainy” You can still get a hopeful ending with Qui-Gon’s appearance at the end. This show should have been a cattle rancher western. Easy as that.

Kinda funny how everyone was coping hard praising this show and a month later literally everyone forgot it existed, same with book of boba lol Edit: they also chose a really bad place to do the story since obiwan is meant to be in hiding on tatooine doing nothing and the empire is so powerful that if obi were caught like he is there would be no escape.

Cant wait to rewatch this while my 7y daughter screams "THIS IS ABSOLUTE IDIOCY" for hours on end 😊😊😇

The Grand Inquisitor could've stayed a part of the show, he could've just taken the roll that Vader has and keep to shots that have his "imposing" status to direct the chucklefufs to do their jobs properly

Vader letting obi wan escape to train himself is on dbs goku level of stupidity

Another idea for Liea, make it obvious that the Empire trying to put pressure on Bail. That they knew who kidnapped Leia and promise to help return Liea if they agree to some deals. So Bail calls Obi-Wan because he feels Obi-Wan is the only one who can retrieve Leia quickly enough for he fears the closer Liea is to people like Vader, the sooner they sense her power. I know it's desperate, but it is the only way it makes sense. Personally, if we have to have inquisitors, then I think it is better if Revia sensed Luke's potential, kidnap Luke knowing Palpatine and Vader are looking for younglings to train and Obi-Wan had to chase them down to retrieve Luke without revealing who he is.

This critique is legitimately 10x more entertaining than the actual show. Can't wait for Part 2!

2:03:00 So I have to ask... Why didn't Vader just walk right through the fire? He's literally 50% machine and survived lava. He has a castle on a planet where he almost died from heat. I'm certain nobody brought this up on set.

"Alderaan and the Senator's Office are already seen as a nuisance by the Empire, and we're suspected of Rebellious Intent, we can't let this get out any further than it already is. That will just invite the Empire to Alderaan, they'll take control and will very likely find out about everything we've been working towards for 10 years, and worse yet, Vader might become aware of Leia's heritage. We've hired a few bounty hunters already, but they're all unable to get any leads, you're the only person we think that can find Leia quickly and quietly. Help us, you're her only hope."

This is good stuff, Sheev! When I watch your vids I feel like I'm learning about what makes good storytelling and what doesn't!

Obi’s theme sounds like one of those opening stings that played when you selected a wii or 3ds game

How can you tell Leia's child actress that she has a very promising career ahead and not use the Palpatine scene in the background?! Otherwise great video, love this kind of long form content!

Thank you I fucking hate that " no one hates star wars like star wars fans" yeah no shit that people who love something will have a much stronger opinion of said thing than people who dont give a shit about it. You see that comment so much too

In Rebels, I think one of the few times the Grand Inquisitor just messes around with the Jedi is when he thinks about taking Ezra as an apprentice, and it's mostly because Ezra hasn't picked any side yet, and doesn't have much of an idea of what a Jedi really means, so having someone younger and naturally stronger than you on your side is a good plan. Once he sees that idea is not going to sail, he just fights and goes all in. At most he tries again some episodes later, when Ezra has his first "Sith moment", but that's it, the rest of the time he's like "these two assholes are trying to ruin my plans, lets yeet them off of a cliff or somehing". Kind of surprising how in Obi-Wan he's just pacing around doing nothing, when he was such a dangerous force to deal with in Rebels.

The most logical explanation I have is that they had at least two radically different drafts and ended up merging them into one extremely flawed mess. That's why Obi wants to train Luke despite being disconnected from the Force. That's why the script never takes the opportunity to make us sympathize with Reva, but the opposite (why torture Leia if she was tryna avenge the fallen Jedis?), only to reveal her as a redeemed villain because she restrained from killing Luke (when she had no reason to do it in the first place). Etc, etc. Like, things like the chasing scene, the robe scene, the Inquisitor's HQ having no defenses because "no one would dare attack"... those are lazyness, lack of talent, and time constrains (deadlines are usually awful for creativity). But, beyond that, there's something fundamentally wrong about this show's plot. Nothing makes any sort of sense, and it's at the cost of contradicting the original material or rendering it meaningless (like Vader's line to old Obi and all the character growth of Leia who apparently was born almost perfect).

@@flarpyz7613 so, how did she know he was Vader's son? All she had found was "a connection in the Archives" between the Organas and Obi Wan, then later on she founds out that Luke exists (period). For all she knew, it was Obi Wan's bastard child... She did have Vader's daugther (who would've remain alive btw, therefore the Skywalker bloodline would be fine), and she didn't realize it was his daughter, so what's different about Luke? What you say could work, but it was not in the script. She just does things because the plot requires it.
