No. They're similar, but I wouldn't think the writers decided to name her after Revan. I assume it's a simple coincidence.

Obi-Wan Kenobi |OT| Well of course I know him. He's me! [SPOILERS ON EPISODE DROP - NO LEAKS]
- Thread starter WadiumArcadium
- Start date
- OT
Lmao, what? The man has no legs and one arm, what, would he just be floating around with his one remaining limb without the suit?
If Revan was some obscure character, I'd agree with you. But since they are a very well liked and known character in the Star Wars mythos, the odds that there are a connection are bigger than it being a coincidence.
I meant he doesn't upgrade his suit substantially despite cybernetics in-universe being more advanced than what he was first put in.
Does it though? Or does it just look like those obnoxiously over the top prequel fights where you watch people's rehearsed dance routine?
I'm really hopeful, it'll be a bummer if its disappointing. Absolutely loved Mandalorian, pretty meh on Boba Fett. The one I have zero expectations going in is Andor, I still don't really understand why that is a show but I'm happy to give it a chance to show something new and interesting.
I am curious if Obi-Wan is planned as a single one off, or if it does well, would they do a season 2 or a movie or something. My guess is even they don't really know yet.
I'm currently replaying Jedi Fallen Order (never got the plat) and really enjoying it, good way to get into the Star Wars vibe before the show drops

FWIW, there are a couple of times in the comics where he has gotten wrecked in the field and rebuilds a limb or two on the fly out of battle debris/droid parts etc.
And it's gonna fix the ROTJ line. Win win.
They used an AI to do Luke's voice.
I feel like in the history of mankind there hasn't been a better candidate for that than ... Vader.
Watch episode 5 and 6. They're actually mando season 3 episodes.
The OLD BOY korean cinematographer is in charge of it for the show.
That sounds pretty cool too heh ?
Nothing about the typo itself, I just think it's weird it slipped past whoever checks this stuff before publishing.
If there even is someone like that, I am not familiar with how corporate twitter accounts are run.
Also, it made me chuckle that the wrongfully included episodes have nothing to do with Obi-Wan at all.
I mean, Jyn Erso wasn't named after Qui-Gon Jinn... (even though Jyn's mother was a Force-sensitive lol)
Those are very different names. If one character was named Qui-gon Ji then I'd expect a connection.
That's much more specific, though. Reva's an actual name and I'm not even sure the two are pronounced the same, though there I could be wrong. 😅
Sometimes characters just have similar names. Hell, there are two people with the last name Antilles in Star Wars and they have no relation.

I think that's fair. I believe giving the situations a connection is more likely than not. Just like when you have a droid named HK-87 you think it's connected to HK-47. More importantly, I mentioned the source that makes the claim, and it's a very trustworthy one. My only doubt it will be something mentioned in the show or just behind the scene stuff.
Lots of Satine and Mandalore in there. Knowling Filoni, of course Mandalore would work its way in. Based on the Season 4 reccomendations, Cad Bane may also make an appearance.

Filoni's not directly involved in this, though I expect he did speak with Chow.
I'm excited for this. I'm also still waiting for Boba Fett to do something cool.
Season 2 looks as expected.

Vader in canon can and actually has moved that fast, even in a lightsaber duel. He is still limited to some degree physically but he is also very capable of moving if necessary with the force. In Lords of the Sith when him and Palpatine are being chased on Ryloth he used the force to run. He is very measured and unstoppable but that doesn't mean he can't move around when the opportunity calls.
I'm excited and I hope to god this is good.
I was initially apprehensive about Vader's inclusion in this show and it took me a while to make peace with it. For a long time that came in the form of begrudging acceptance, but the more I thought about it, I was struck with a lot of potential value in what it can add to the lore.
I think it could be very interesting to see how and why Obi-Wan completely gives up on Anakin. That's a piece of connective tissue kind of missing between the new lore and the old lore. On Mustafar he tells Anakin that he loves him and can't bring himself to finish the job, while in the OT he sees Vader as no more than a mechanical monster and tells Luke the only option is to kill him.
It's not impossible to draw that line between the PT and the OT, with Obi-Wan stewing in the desert for 20 years in the interim. But I've come to realize that it does a disservice to the brotherhood those two characters had. I'd like to see Obi-Wan at least make the attempt to get through to him.

I think just to set expectations the right way and without spoiling, you guys probably shouldn't read too much into those disney recommendations ... they just picked episodes that were obi wan focused.
And for those disappointed, considering Hayden and Ewan's wife are working on Ahsoka, there's no way Ewan doesn't shoot clone wars stuff for that.
I can totally see a scene where he tries to use Padme to appeal to his better nature, with that totally backfiring and Anakin going full rage mode
Maybe they'll use the scrapped idea from ROTS about how Anakin thought Obi-Wan and Padme were banging
I think in most ads it's been titled a mini-series. That doesn't preclude a second season, but I would anticipate this being a beginning-middle-end kinda thing without any intent to continue it.
Obviously if it does gang busters I'm sure they'll find another thing to do with it, though.
EW just wrote a article about a potential second season.

Obi-Wan vs. Grievous the rematch of the decade
I have been looking at Hayden's filmography post ROTS and WHEW.. mans was really STRUGGLING.
Glad he has the SW gig back.
Glad he has the SW gig back.
I'm hoping he does really well so people can see he can act when given good direction, maybe he'll get some more roles going.
About that...
It's gonna take me a while to get through this playlist, but I made it through the "first two" episodes and the film, and have enjoyed it so far, so I think I'll be able to stick to it. Especially since I can watch while I work. Might be able to get through it by the end of next week, maybe?

Wait how do you use playlists ?
BTW guys for Clone Wars, there is one rule that never fails : you read the description of the episode, if it sounds lame skip, if it peaks your interest watch.
I'm using my Plex server. Just go to a movie or TV series (or specific season / episode of one), click the ellipses icon, and Add to Playlist. Once you create a playlist, you can go into it and rename it or reorder its contents as needed. Can't rename on mobile though, or at least not on iOS. Have to do it on desktop.
Noted lol, thanks. I made it through the crap with Jabba's kid and still enjoyed it, so we'll see.

If you were able to enjoy even the film then you'll definitely be able to make it through the whole series, lol.
If you can make it through the film and still enjoy the show, then you're more than fine. There's a couple other early episodes that approach that level, but it's basically the absolute quality floor for official Star Wars content not labeled "Vintage". The chronological list also sprinkles some S2 and S3 episodes in earlier, which helps.About that...

If you get invested, make sure to check out the Clone Wars Legacy arcs - Crystal Crisis on Utapau (canon Clone Wars arc released with unfinished animation but fully voice acted), Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir (Clone Wars arc that was never animated, but released as a comic mini-series), and the novel Dark Disciple (an adaptation of 8 unfinished Clone Wars episodes written by Katie Lucas). Their place in the timeline is listed on Lucasfilm's official chronological watchlist. I'd also recommend the Ahsoka novel, which takes place not long after Clone Wars.

It does from next week. Just the first two this Friday.
slightly confusing. So two episodes this friday, then new episodes from next wednesday? (joined by Ms Marvel the week after)?
