Spoilers 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' series [Spoiler Discussion]
- Thread starter Reverend
- Start date
Bail was supposed to know Obi-Wan personally per Leia's holo-recording in SW77. Bail knowing Yoda and other top Jedi would make sense as well. But all those other contrived character connections stretched credibility.
Chewbacca: RAAOOOWWWWR! [translation: Oh, I used to fight alongside a distinguished green Jedi master and I gave him a piggyback ride and helped him escape the massacre by the clone troopers, and we were such good buddies that he said he would miss me. I'm not so sure about this human guy with the beard, though]
Han: You said it, Chewie. Where did you dig up that old fossil?
Luke: Ben is a great man.

I think the general idea is that microbiota are so small they are bordering on interacting with the universe at the quantum level where things like time and space start to work a little differently. That would allow them to interact and resonate with the force more directly (kyber seems to operate on the same idea, since they're living crystals.)
As for the collective consciousness, I think it's a combination of the sheer biomass spread across all the universe, and the notion that any organised system with enough connections can hit a critical mass for emergent consciousness.
So it's not like midichlorians are tiny intelligent beings any more than a single nerve cell in your brain is aware.
Yes, it was.
It's one of the reasons a friend of mine finds Hayden in the suit in ROTS unbelievable is his posing in suit is completely different from Prowse.
sure. Strategy and playing style are up to me. But those rarely reflect on the morals of the experience. Well, I guess sometimes they can but it’s rare.
Different strokes, etc. Video games are one of the few times I'm less morally reflective.
when they have a story they can be interesting as tv, novels or other media, though.
Usually, but that doesn't invite reflection the same way, at least for me. Depends on the game. Especially if I'm playing Lego games.
Well they are not telling a particularly interesting story here so they might as well do fan service.
I'm enjoying "Obi-Wan" very much. In fact, I think it's better written and has more depth than either "The Mandalorian" or "The Book of Boba Fett".
One, I disagree with you that Obi-Wan is coming off as a supporting character. And two, I disagree with this idea that this is not what "anyone" was asking for. Who is "anyone"? Because I'm enjoying this series.
I always disagree with the idea of "no one asked for this." And? I never asked for any of my favorite films. That's a dumb standard.
In the OT, the Force--as taught to Luke--did not speak of biology / what elements were in a person's blood. TESB was the film where the how and why of the Force in relation to those who believe in / train in the Force was laid out, and it stands as the opposite of how the PT dealt with it, especially with the Midichlorian business.
Many a fan see the series as more about Reva than Obi-Wan.
Meaning fans of the Obi-Wan character wanted to see a series--considering the period of time it takes place--have more scenes of his dealing with the aftermath of ROTS (more than that 1st episode), more interaction with Luke--enough that he would even know of him as "old Ben", etc. With only one episode left, and he's spent next to no time with any interaction with the Lars (save for E1's moments), it is the reason some SW fans are not at all finding this to be what one would have imagined in a Obi-Wan series.
Pretty lame episode. As others stated, best part was the Vader fight. Him just toying with her was stark reminder how good a fighter he's supposed to be.
Supposedly they are changing the ending so she survives for the new show. I guess we will find out next week
Absolutely. By a country mile.
I find this argument highly illogical. The entire show is about Obi Wan. It's his POV. It was also established very early on what his issues are and his character growth has been very easy to chart. He's the literal, thematic and emotional core of the show and the show will end with a very clean arc for him.
Which doesn't preclude Reva from also having a compelling narrative, but it's still Obi Wan at the center.
...and if there's any truth to the spoiler content, it only supports what some are seeing in this series: Reva as the dominant narrative / potential backdoor pilot (if the spoiler content is confirmed).
Five episodes in, I’m really enjoying the show. Hope they can stick the landing next week.
I’m not seeing the issue, she is an important motivator to the story. Ingram has hit it out of the park with her work.

Reva is no more the lead than Grogu is in The Mandalorian. Very important, yes, but not the lead nor the main focus.
Most of the time Grogu is barely a character. He is either a plot device to motivate Mando or an element of chaos to make the plot more complicated.
He rarely shows any agency. A couple of times where he decides to save Mando‘s ass or when he dumps Luke for Mando.
ROTJ is an OT film.
