Spoilers 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' series [Spoiler Discussion]

[thribs]

While I agree with some of the criticisms, I’m still enjoying the show a lot. I only wish it was a movie. That way I could own the blu ray.

 

[Reverend]

If it were a movie it'd be over already. I prefer more Star Wars in my Star Wars.

I think Valin Halcyon was Corran's grandfather, wasn't he? His father was Hal Horn, aka Kieran Halcyon, IIRC- the name Corran used later at the Jedi Academy and when he was under cover searching for Mirax Terrik later on?

Man, it's been too long. Stackpole's books and the Rogue Squadron comics used to be my favorite part of the EU and I had all of it wired in. No longer.

 

[thribs]

I bought all those x wing books recently. They are the ones I haven’t read yet

 

[Sketcher]

Honestly the worst part about this duel was the shower of sparks whenever Vader and Kenobi's sabers came into contact. Like when did that become a thing?

If you take the Stackpole stuff with the Zahn stuff, along with a couple oddball books, you have everything you need in the Expanded Universe.

I do like the later stuff. The Fate of the Jedi books where Luke and Ben are exiled was fun. I didn’t mind Catalyst as well but I understand the crictisms of the book being falsely advertised.

I haven't read the whole thread, but did some one work out why Vader just stood there and let the droid rescue Obi-Wan?

Knowing Vader, it was probably intentional.

 

[JoeZhang]

I take it the second battle will be preceded with a scene with Ben and Vader together with his helmet off - otherwise why bother hiring HC?

But Vader will die without the helmet

Intentional. Vader is toying with Obi-wan at this point, making him suffer. It'll backfire.

i’m starting to suspect he’s doing the Hook thing: letting him go to give him a chance to get back in shape as he finds him an unworthy opponent at this time.

Depends on how long his long-game is. Vader will eventually 'kill' Obi-Wan, after all.

Nope, Valin Halcyon was the name Corran's father Hal Horn was born with. Corran's grandfather was Nejaa Halcyon, a Jedi who had Valin with his secret wife Scerra and passed their child off as his Padawan. After the purge, Nejaa was killed and Scerra married Rostek Horn, who adopted Valin. Keiran was an ancestor who was a Jedi some 400 years prior.

Hmm, might be a coincidence but given the name of that themed hotel Disney is desperate to advertise is "The Halcyon Legacy", maybe this is supposed to tie into Keiran making an appearance in the High Republic's second phase?

I still think there is going to be a scene where Vader unintentionally rescues Leia from something, making her comment in episode one correct.

I noticed that as well. Probably an artistic choice to make the duel more brutal looking.

Its supposed to show some sort of intensity, but the blades are not anything that should create anything other than a flash when they connect, but...

 

[thribs]

What about a dream sequence where Kenobi imagines Anakin raising Leia and Luke. That utilise Hayden better while letting the child actors have a scene with him

 

[Campe]

Based on the condition we left him in in Part III, I imagine the next episode will be primarily in Obi-Wan’s head. It will also likely be the biggest appearance of non-masked Vader in said head sequences
