“For me, across the prequels, through the original trilogy, there’s a love-story dynamic with these two that goes through the whole thing,” Chow says. “I felt like it was quite hard to not [include] the person who left Kenobi in such anguish in the series.” What intrigued her was the idea that despite what Vader had become, Kenobi might still care deeply about him. “I don’t know how you could not,” she says. “I don’t think he ever will not care about him. What’s special about that relationship is that they loved each other.”

‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ show director Deborah Chow about Obi-Wan and Vader relationship.

I am really enjoying this show. Both episodes dropped earlier than expected which I really enjoyed. Guess Disney wanted the last laugh before Stranger Things arrives. Deborah Chow is a great director btw. She really delivered. Anyways, I’ll just share my thoughts on both episodes.

Ewan McGregor is phenomenal as always. He IS Obi-Wan. Seeing Obi-Wan so broken and beaten honestly tugged at my heartstrings. I also loved how the episodes captured the feeling of being on the run and beaten after losing everything. I teared up a bit in the first episode. This man needs a hug.

The rest of the cast is great too! Joel Edgerton is really good as Owen and Moses Ingram’s Reva is very interesting. She really reminds me of Trilla from Jedi: Fallen Order. I’m looking forward to seeing what’s in store for her character. Even Rupert Friend did a great job. Although, the makeup still looks a bit dodgy and I’ll always prefer Rebels’ version of the character. In Rebels, he was scary. In Kenobi, he’s chilling but the makeup is kinda throwing me off. 

The environments were great too! Star Wars never fails to wow me with its visuals. 

Both episodes were a lot of fun to watch, delivering on great acting and dialogue. Although not action heavy, there are still some great sequences. Honestly, I think my only nitpick would be the Grand Inquisitor not being as intimidating as his animated counterpart but that’s just me. 

Ok folks, I’ll see y’all with my Stranger Things reaction but I wanted to share my Kenobi thoughts since I wasn’t expecting both episodes to drop early. Enjoy the show and may the force be with you!

Just gonna go ahead and say that it’s not a coincidence that these first two episodes of the obi wan show, and all the best episodes of the mandalorian and book of boba fett, were directed by women. Not a coincidence. Women get shit done and they get shit done better

do we…do we believe this? could it be real? and if it is, what are our thoughts?

i don’t know how to feel yet and i need y’all to chime in!!!

Ahhh it’s starting! Kenobi press tour in Berlin!

Ms. Deborah Chow does your back hurt? From carrying Star Wars TV?
