So why/how does Reva know?AliasMan02 said:
Great thread from Pablo about Vader's fame/noteriety, or lack thereof.The Admiral Motti > Admiral Ozzel > Moff Jerrjerod Reaction Index is a good measure to how famous Darth Vader is during the OT. Calibrate accordingly.

Also comment from Phil.Just because someone is famous to us doesn’t mean they are famous in universe.

AHSOKA: I wanted to ask about the Sith Lord you encountered on Lothal.
EZRA: Ahsoka, do you know who or what he is?
AHSOKA: No, I don’t.

Just caught up, and ho-lee **** does this ****ing suck! Not even sure I'm watching the same Kenobi. Literally, early padawan Kenobi would kick this guys ass. So would OLD Alec Guinness Kenobi!
So, what the hell is the draw of this series, exactly?

All I know is that they've mentioned his name twice now, in yearning fashion, and you don't do that unless you're going to pay it off.

You take any top level performer out of the game for 10 years & stick them on a desert planet cutting up giant beetles & they will be rusty upon return.Quote:

Story-wise, I don't know what else you guys were expecting. They had to take Obi-Wan down a peg or two in order to justify telling this story. He needed an arc and this was about all there was to do. I mean, he's been in exile for a decade. He was never going to be a badass again from the jump.
Personally, my gripe is more with the lackluster filmmaking and the *way* they're telling this particular story, not necessarily what the story is, if that makes sense.
A page from the script just leaked online!Apache said:You take any top level performer out of the game for 10 years & stick them on a desert planet cutting up giant beetles & they will be rusty upon return.Quote:

I'm hoping for a Rocky-esque (Thor-esque?) musical montage of Obi-Wan training to regain his edge:
*Standing on a rock cliff at sundown, training with the lightsaber
*Running up dunes with a Jawa on his back
*Bench Pressing a Krait dragon skull
and the finale:
*Using the force to lift up a Bantha while one of the sandpeople is riding it. The Ghost of Qui-Gon is there, he & Obi-Wan begin laughing at this point as the montage music closes & they know "he's back!"

You forgot the scene where Obiwan and Qui-gon are sprinting against the shores of the dune sea and high fiving when Obiwan beats himApache said:You take any top level performer out of the game for 10 years & stick them on a desert planet cutting up giant beetles & they will be rusty upon return.Quote:

dude I laughed WAAAAAY too hard at this onehelloimustbegoing said:
Or does Obi-Wan go to Hoth to train - cutting logs, scaling hills, benchpressing Tauntauns. Then he climbs to the top of Mount Ison and shouts "VADERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"
I'm really perplexed why people would think Obi-Wan would be anything BUT a shell of his former self 10 years into the exile.jr15aggie said:
I would have just preferred them not to tear down another one of our childhood heroes again.
Vader had literally put the fire out with the force a few seconds prior. He could put it out again. He could also just force lift obi wan thru or over it. If he can tele-choke someone over coms, he can lift someone over a fire (though maybe he doesn't learn to tele-choke until laterQuote:
Same thought when Vader just shrugs his shoulders and walks away from Obi-Wan when he could have just walked around the fire to get him.
) If it was, we better be getting ready to see a flashback of how he came up with the name "Ben".amercer said:
I just would have liked to have been in the room when they pitched this…
"Hey guys! Ewen is IN! What should we do?"
Young Disney exec (presumably sitting under a huge framed New Hope poster) : " I've got it! Kenobi is a hermit on tatooine, keeping his head down and keeping an eye on Luke. Then an urgent message comes in that he's got to help Princess Leia. So he's got to get off world for an adventure. Oh and Vader kicks his ass"
Other suits quietly nod in agreement.
I assume this is the same crack creative team that thought "what we really need is a young Han Solo movie. You know when he was a young, cocky, brash space pilot. We've never shown that to the fans before! "

He thinks he murdered his best friend/brother/apprentice.
Every single person he knows is dead, and the few who aren't, it's too dangerous to contact them.
The guy taking care of the baby left in his charge wants nothing to do with him.
He's living in the toilet bowl of the galaxy.
He's not using the Force to protect himself and Luke. The thing that nurtures a Jedi in their darkest hours.
He was around Palpatine hundreds, maybe even thousands of times, and never figured out that he was not only a Sith Lord, but manipulating Anakin to the Dark Side right under his nose.
And he lives in a cave and has no friends beyond a Jawa who rips off his stuff and sells it back to him.
What else could he be than what he is?
The writers could have made that work by showing Vader having flashbacks of getting burned to bits & having him freak out a little bit because of all the fire. This delay would have given Obi Wan time to escape.Quote:

I think Vader wanted him to get away.
They are going to track him and hope he leads Vader to more Jedi.redline248 said:
Why are people still taking about Vader and the fire? It is so obvious he decided to let Obi-Wan go. The question is why did he (other than for story)?

This is the segment of the fanbase that wanted Luke to stand in front of the entire FO with a laser sword and take them down.
