Obi-Wan Kenobi Part VI

Tis the end of the Obi-Wan series. We give our thoughts on Part VI, as well as the series as a whole. We liked some things, but a lot of things were just too convenient or felt like bad writing. We also talk about the big reveals and whether we think there will be a second season. We hope you enjoy! Wookieepedia [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page] - All things Star Wars.

While we have a lot of issues with this show, it seems that the Star Wars community (in general) has embraced it positively. We're glad to see Disney doing their best to make something that the fans can really be happy about (even if we are not the happiest about it).

Obi-Wan Kenobi Part V

In this episode we talk about Reva's motivations, the reduction in plot conveniences, and our predictions for the season finale. After watching Part V, we're a bit more reserved with our excitement and are really just curious about how they're going to tie up all the loose ends. And although we have issues with this episode (as we honestly have with every episode), there are a lot of good things that we really liked seeing.

Now, whether this is true... we have no idea. Personally, here at SYF we do not believe that Reva deserves her own series. Her character is mediocre at best. Entertainment Weekly article [https://ew.com/tv/obi-wan-kenobi-ewan-mcgregor-hayden-christensen-cover-story/] that interviews cast and crew about the (then) upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series. Here's a specific excerpt where Kathleen Kennedy talks about overhauling the script: "However, as the crew came together to work toward a summer 2020 production start date, Kennedy became concerned with the direction of the scripts. 'We're looking, ultimately, to make a hopeful, uplifting story,' says the studio head. Believing an overhaul was in order, Kennedy temporarily shut down production in January 2020, pushed back the filming start date from August 2020 to January 2021, and hired a new writer, Joby Harold, to take over from Hossein Amini." - Entertainment Weekly Wade Resselian [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Wade_Resselian] The Book of Boba Fett [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/The_Book_of_Boba_Fett] - The very first Star Wars content covered on this podcast!

Obi-Wan Kenobi Part IV

In this episode, we talk about Obi-Wan Kenobi Part IV. We talk about how the plot conveniences have gotten worse instead of better, how Disney has made Star Wars more kid-friendly (much to its detriment), and our hopes for Liam Neeson reprising his role as Qui-gon Jinn.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Part III

We start off this episode by recapping some things that we missed, or didn't go over in our previous episodes about this series. We also wonder how the writing of this show is going to avoid a lot of seemingly likely plot holes. Big plot holes that would be very apparent if not addressed properly and glossed over simply for the sake of plot convenience. Which, while we enjoyed this episode immensely, happens quite a bit. Other than that, we get to see a lot more of Vader, we get some new characters, and we learn more about what the surviving Jedi are doing after The Great Jedi Purge [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Great_Jedi_Purge]. It's a great episode and it's awesome seeing Obi-Wan go from this shadow of what he once was, to becoming a Jedi again. Something he's really struggling with.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Part II

Part II! It's a little surprising that they released the first 2 parts of this series simultaneously, although we're not mad about it. In this episode, we talk a bit more about what we think of the characters, how this fits into the rest of the Star Wars universe, and what we'd like to see in the future. There are only going to be 6 episodes of this series (at least for this season, although I don't know if they're going to make another one), so there's only so much they can do. Although we cannot wait for more episodes. Wookieepedia [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page] - All things Star Wars.

Temuera Morrison [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Temuera_Morrison] - The actor who plays all of the clones. We didn't know this at the time of recording, but apparently, the character Tetha Grig [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Tetha_Grig] (the girl in the pink hair that gives Obi-Wan drugs) is actually played by Ewan McGregor's (Obi-Wan) real daughter, Esther McGregor [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10495993/].

The Book of Boba Fett [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/The_Book_of_Boba_Fett?so=search] - The series that we covered in the first 6 episodes of this podcast. We mentioned a Star Wars book in this episode but we could not find that book anywhere. It's a Legends [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Wars_Legends?so=search] book, during the time of Luke Skywalker re-building the Jedi Order on Yavin 4. That's all we know. Although if anybody knows the name of the book, please feel free to contact us via syfpodcast.com [http://syfpodcast.com/] Kumail Nanjiani [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3529685/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1] - The actor who plays Haja Estree [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Haja_Estree] Breaking Bad [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0903747/] - An amazing TV show that is a must-watch for anyone who loves drama.

Spice [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Spice] - This is still in debate, on whether spice is a specific drug or a general term for drugs. Although looking at the quote from Ahsoka Tano [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Ahsoka_Tano?so=search] ("Many things can be made out of spice, and they're not all good."), maybe a lot of different drugs can be made from this one thing called spice. We don't know, but we'll continue to debate and research. As always, everything we do with this podcast can be found on syfpodcast.com [http://syfpodcast.com/].
