Massive dysphoric mood for two decades combined with a desert environment will absolutely age you.
After some thought I think this will end with the Empire pardoning Obi Wan and exiling him to Tattooine. Just one last fuck you to the old man.
Vader and Obi are totally going to team up to fight the inquisitors.

Yeah it's crazy we've gotten maybe two lines from the titular character and all we've heard from his nemesis is heavy breathing. Like... Just.. damn.
I felt nothing watching the trailer.
The time period between episode 3 and 4 is so overdone in the last few years.
And episode 3 already put Obi Wan and Vader in place for episode 4, nothing of consequence will happen to either in their encounter, no major injuries or anything. They'll fight, one will escape, and they'll both end the series at the same place they started it.
Seeing live action inquisitors is cool though.

Yeah I would have expected Maul or something instead. But I'm also not super up to date with the animated plotlines so maybe that's already been done.
That would be pretty stupid to waste time on something so unimportant.
Vader is the one who created the inquisitors though, and not sure why he would pardon someone he deeply hates
The new inquisitor was created for someone for Obi-Wan to fully defeat, so the conflict will probably revolve around her hunt for him to impress Vader or something
Eh you know how Sith are, inquisitors probably see a chance to kill Vader and take his spot.
Nice spot.
They did their homework because in Fallen Order the second sister does this exact flourish.
It reminded me of Kylo in TFA as well.
Of course. It's his fucking brother.
Exactly. Just thinking about it is crushing. When Obiwan tells Anakin that he "failed him", he meant it. The line was delivered perfectly.
Why do you think this is going to happen? When has the Empire pardoned any Jedi? They're literally trying to kill all of them. They don't even send them to prison, they just murder them on the spot.
Eh, there's a ton of cathartic dialogue that would be necessary between two humans with their history that would make for dramatic and strong television. And hopefully, they really draw absolutely everything out of that confrontation, to the extent that neither has anything left to say to the other.
That being said, the "vibe" I'm getting from the trailer really has the same energy as Boba and Mando, so I'm a little concerned we won't get that.

They usually do. There are a few different lightsaber fighting forms that are used across all the media repeatedly and are all based on various types of fencing and sword fighting styles and what not. All from Bob Anderson and Nick Gillard's work decades ago I think.
The latter could happen, to an extent. There's a bit of a history of ol' Palps trying to kill off Vader. There's a potential endgame where Vader hesitates to make the killing blow so the Inquisitors turn on him, he and Obi fight them off then continue to fight eachother. The only problem is that would wind up being fairly similar to TLJ, which, like, "it rhymes" but still.
Obi Wan's view in the OT seemed to be that Vader was irredeemable when Luke talks to him in RotJ. He definitely doesn't sound like he thinks there's any hope for him - unlike Luke. I don't think Vader will pull any punches and there won't be any kind of team up that's for sure.
Also, aren't the Inquisitors all under Vader's command in Rebels, a show that is set several years after Obi Wan? There's zero chance they turn on Vader as a group.
The only likely outcome is that Vader is enraged trying to kill Obi Wan with the latter probably presumed dead having made a cunning escape.
Just on a filmmaking perspective, this looks boring and as someone who's not into Star Wars, I don't see any refreshing appeal here other than fanservice. The oddest thing is the cinematographer is Chung-hoon Chung, who did most of Park Chan Wook's films like The Handmaiden, Lady Vengeance, Oldboy, Thirst, and Stoker!!! It doesn't look as flat as a Marvel film but visually, it just seems average. But probably with all the VFX that you'd have on a show like The Mandalorian, the shooting schedules, and the lack of bold direction, maybe you don't get much room compared to films to express your talents.

why even waste your ammo firing at a trained force user
🥱
Lucas fucked up the whole series with lightsaber deflecting.
There's still a chance they get it. They can't block 100% of all shots all the time.
See: Order 66.
Weirdly, this is the best the Grand Inquisitor has looked to me.
Still not good, but better than every other time I've seen him in this show.
I'd prefer it as a series like this because we get way more content with Ewan as Obi Wan than we would do with one movie.
If I was home I'd totally post gifs of all the time the Jedi got BTFO by blasters. But I'll just stick with this literal Jedi council member getting wrecked.

I feel like people give Jedi Fallen Order too much credit for Inquisitors lol.
They were in Rebels long before Fallen Order. The only thing from Fallen Order I'd argue is the base.
Was very shocked by this as i thought Fallen order happened like 10 years after revenge of the sith, but turns out Cal is bloody 17 in that game which is hillarious haha
I feel like the regency and photoreali of fallen order is why they would refer to it instead of Rebels. It ran so FO could fly.I feel like people give Jedi Fallen Order too much credit for Inquisitors lol.

Vader is going to fuck Obi Wan up in this, I can feel it.
All I want is for Vader to take off his mask to look Obi in the eyes, so Obi can see what he did by leaving Ani to burn alive.
