0:00
Hello there, it's time for most things Kenobi.
0:05
I prefer all things Kenobi, but I suppose that's not the Jedi
0:09
way as long as it's not all things Anakin.
0:26
Hi everyone, welcome to another episode of most things Kenobi.
0:29
A podcast about Obi-Wan Kenobi and all things Star Wars.
0:33
I'm your host Lauren and I'm your host Leanne, are you ready
0:36
for some more Kenobi? I am so ready, we're getting
0:43
hyped. It's the last episode before the
0:47
reviews of the Kenobi show begin.
0:49
Oh my gosh, I can't believe we're like a week away at this
0:52
point and I'm so so excited. I'm nervous, I'm thrilled.
0:58
I'm, what's that mean? Where it's like, I'm completely
1:01
terrified but also turned on. Like that's how I feel.
1:07
It's so true. All the Vanity Fair pictures
1:09
came out today and it's just like a girl boner everywhere.
1:15
Absolutely everywhere. I don't know what turns me on
1:18
more seeing you and McGregor with a lightsaber and that damn
1:21
robe or fucking Hayden Christensen.
1:25
I know. Holding a lightsaber with a
1:27
cape. I can't, I'm dead.
1:29
I'm cell is dead. That was so you sent that to me
1:32
in a text and I just stopped what I was doing.
1:34
I was just like oh my and he had somebody already put it
1:40
together, they had a picture of him.
1:42
Hayden holding the light supper with his knee out like bent knee
1:45
out. And it's exactly the same pose
1:47
that Vader has with Luke in their duel.
1:50
Oh nice. And it's like right down to the
1:53
knee crook, you know? Like I'm just like, oh my My
1:55
God. That's the level of detail.
1:57
We're gonna get right in this show that it is going to be
2:00
fucking good eye. I can't even stand that it's, we
2:05
are on the precipice people, the precipice we are here.
2:10
We're looking over the cavern and we are going to jump into
2:13
just ecstasy. Yes, yeah, this is one of our
2:16
high points. Everyone.
2:18
Savor its. Before we've been disappointed
2:20
by anything where I'll just still happy and excited.
2:23
This is good shit, right? No, live in the moment.
2:28
I'm, I am just Ram Reddy. I'm super ready.
2:30
Will be speaking of. Yes, we have a little caveat.
2:34
I guess. I don't know.
2:35
A little warning, a small disclaimer you disclose warning,
2:39
okay? I mean you just yeah, we're just
2:42
guessing disclaimer. Yes, a warrant.
2:43
I did enough each other. I love us.
2:50
But yes, the caveat do you want to deliver the caveat?
2:52
I think you should. You explained it better to me?
2:55
Okay, well damn. If this is a terrible timing for
2:58
the Kenobi show to come out. Because as we all know, it was
3:01
originally supposed to be on a Wednesday then they moved to
3:04
Friday and they're doing double episodes.
3:06
Well, Lauren is going to be at Celebration with just about
3:10
everybody else except me without my partner.
3:14
B Prime. I know I will be I'll be there
3:18
in spirit next year, for sure, for sure.
3:21
And I at the same time that Lauren is in is that
3:24
celebration? I Be vacationing in Canada.
3:27
So so because of that, we're going to be cutting it real
3:31
close with getting an episode out.
3:33
When we usually do on Tuesdays, we are going to issue it on
3:35
Tuesday next, you know, the following Tuesday after the
3:38
first two episodes come out, but it might not be as early as we
3:41
usually issue it. Yeah, because we're both
3:43
arriving home on Monday. Yeah, recording.
3:47
And then we gotta edit it and get it out and get all the
3:50
pieces in place which it might happen, or it might be the next
3:54
morning, depending Pending on how things go as long as no
3:57
flights are canceled for me. All I know, and as long as your,
4:01
your drive, or you flying. Also.
4:03
Nope. I'm driving.
4:04
Yep. Hopefully, all our travel plans,
4:07
go. Well, at Mercury in retrograde
4:09
will be over shortly thereafter. Listen here, Mercury, you've
4:14
already fucked with us enough this past week.
4:16
Usually, it's only been going on a few days and things have been
4:19
rough. What is this?
4:22
Like, you know, I don't put much stock in Weapon.
4:25
No. But seriously, though, things
4:27
Deuce past week has been ridiculous.
4:30
Totally weird. Anyway, forgive us, if we leave
4:34
a few more, you know, excitable screeches, in our next episode,
4:37
because we're on a time crunch to get it out to you.

5:46
So yeah, it's going to be fun. We got some Obi-Wan shit to talk
5:50
about today. Before we talk about more
5:51
Obi-Wan should next week. I'm so excited.
5:54
This is Most things Kenobi after all.
5:57
It's so my guess and I love you picked this topic and I love it.
6:00
I am so excited to dive into this.
6:04
I am to my list is ready. Today we're talking about our
6:07
top five badass, Obi-Wan, Kenobi moments, and this is before we
6:12
even see the Kenobi show. Yeah, which we hope.
6:14
We're going to get five of our own just from the series itself.
6:17
Is going to say, I'm sure our list will grow exponentially.
6:21
We're going to have to revisit this topic and I We MI5 are from
6:26
like the mood. I was in when I wrote my list,
6:29
my list evolves, depending on what mood I'm in, or what I've
6:33
been watching recently so. Well, why don't you go first
6:36
with your number five will go from 5 to 15 his number ones, my
6:39
top 10 K, right? I'm sure that's how you did.
6:42
Yes, that is how I did it. Okay, good horse.
6:44
And I'm sure there were gonna have some overlap here.
6:47
I mean, there's a lot to choose from, maybe we will, maybe the
6:50
way we are, we always are, you know, well, I do have honorable
6:53
mentions, so we're going to have something.
6:55
NG somewhere? Okay, I don't have any honorable
6:58
mentions oh yet. So you, that's good.
7:01
Okay, it's good. All right.
7:04
My number five is landing at Point rain.
7:08
Oh no, shit. Well that has to be on there.
7:10
Well, yeah, it has to be on there.
7:11
I mean, that was like one of the first times in clone wars were
7:15
0. B. 1 is like, I don't even know
7:17
how to describe it. He's a badass and I was other
7:19
episodes, but this is where it's like, everyone's life is on the
7:22
line. Yeah, and he just stands up.
7:25
Lights that light saber doesn't care how injured he is.
7:29
That look on his face. It's literally like a fraction
7:31
of a second and it so fucking good and really hot really hot
7:38
and he still manages to go on and negotiate and plan and help
7:43
the clones and help the rest of the Jedi to go on to complete
7:46
their mission while with you know with several broken ribs.
7:50
I'm assuming. Yeah.
7:51
Sitting on the ground doing it would.
7:53
Yeah. If he's not able to To stand up
7:56
because, you know, him, he'll get ya.
7:58
He would thrown off a building shot, doesn't matter.
8:01
He's still doing his thing. So if he's sitting on the
8:04
ground, you know, he's really are bad.
8:07
Yeah, yeah. He's really hurt.
8:08
But you know, what? That doesn't stop him and that's
8:09
why he's badass. Yeah, and that's why it's sexy
8:12
as hell. Yeah, even though it's animated,
8:14
I don't care, doesn't matter well guess, what?
8:17
Minds and animated example for number 5, 2 x 0, then what is
8:20
your number? Mine is actually I thought of
8:24
Point rain, right? Point rain comes up in
8:26
everything. We, I know I feel redundant to
8:28
say it, but whatever. Oh no, it has to be on there.
8:32
So, I'm glad you chose it because I kind of went just
8:34
deviated, just slightly, and mine is from The ryloth Arc with
8:38
the little girl. Yeah, little Numa right.
8:42
Yep. But it's when he's using the
8:44
force on those giant ticks. Yes, those monsters.
8:47
It was the time. He's lucky between these two
8:49
really. Is that?
8:55
Why your Looking at me like that.
8:56
You're like it in because I was like, yes, girl, yes, it's so
9:00
good though. He's like using it.
9:03
There's like, strain on his face and he's, like, shoot the
9:06
bridge. You know, as he's like holding
9:08
these giant creatures at Bay with the forest, it's
9:12
incredible. The beasts.
9:16
And not only that, but the Clones are like blown away.
9:19
I know, I love that one clone. That was like, incredible.
9:22
Yeah, and and Cody's just kind of like, you know, this Just
9:25
another Perfect Day. Shut up and get to work.
9:28
Yeah, basically he's a badass for Uncle.
9:33
Also speaking in their native, tongue at the end to little
9:35
Numa. Oh, yeah, I know.
9:37
I love oatmeal. Not at the end.
9:38
But, oh, well, yeah. And then, but he's he translates
9:41
for the Clones at the end. Yeah.
9:42
I mean like, yeah, he is so great in this whole episode
9:46
because he's Flawless the entire time is really like quippy and
9:52
funny. He's all full of the one-liners
9:54
and this, but also, So just like kicking ass entire time.
9:57
Yes, it's so hot. It really makes me want like to
10:02
see more of that. I am in the Kenobi series and
10:05
no, and his like he counters it in the episode 2 with the way,
10:08
he's like really sweet with Numa.
10:10
So it's like he's getting shit done and then he's really sweet
10:13
and gentle with the child and like also leash when he covers
10:17
her eyes, like tries to call her tonight him.
10:19
It's Sookie Shields her little eyes.
10:22
Like don't look. And then she like pulls his hand
10:24
up to sneak. Yes.
10:25
It's so cute. So cute.
10:27
I love that. Yeah, so that's my number five,
10:29
very nice. So, my number for probably
10:32
deserves to be higher on the list, but this, like I said,
10:35
this was the mood. I was in, is sure Battle of the
10:38
heroes. But like, really specifically
10:41
the moment where Anakin flips over 0, b 1, in Revenge of the
10:44
Sith, no moon just cuts off all his limbs.
10:48
It's so ruthless. But shows how how good he is it?
10:53
What I does. The way you describe that is
10:56
painful but sorry, I'm sorry you're not wrong.
11:00
I mean, Anakin is like so powerful and so arrogant all the
11:06
time. Yes.
11:07
And Obi-Wan is manages him in like one second and it's awful.
11:12
But it's also like super badass badass.
11:15
Yeah, it's knowing knowing your opponent knowing your own skill
11:19
base and knowing how to fight anybody basically like yes, you
11:23
know, military Agent Lee position themselves in a way to
11:28
receive the attack in the best manner.
11:30
He did the same thing. Yeah.
11:31
And he knew his opponent so well I mean that's that's that's the
11:36
part that stings but yeah that's why it's so he ended it in like
11:39
one second one swipe? Yeah it makes you wonder like
11:43
the whole rest of the duel because they say that they like
11:45
they train the they choreographed that deal
11:48
specifically so that they were very equal that like they knew
11:51
each other so well that that's why they couldn't.
11:55
Like gain an advantage, one of the other the entire time, but
11:58
it's like, is that Coast one or the other of them is holding
12:00
back for a little bit. I mean I don't think Anakin was
12:03
holding back, he seemed pretty upset.
12:06
But well you know how they say like using anger makes you
12:09
sloppy? ER well then when fighting yeah
12:11
for sure. So Obi-Wan was on the defense
12:15
trying to manage Anakin and obviously emotionally did not
12:19
want to do what he ended up doing even when push came to
12:22
shove. Yeah.
12:23
And Anakin you know the minute you Hancock e is the minute you
12:26
lose. That's true.
12:27
And he even verbally was cocky. And that moment, yeah, and
12:32
Obi-Wan gave him a warning and he still went for it like forget
12:36
it. Anakin I know we all make fun of
12:37
that, but he's literally telling him.
12:39
If you do this, I will do this. Like, yeah, like it's not gonna
12:43
work because we've talked about in the past like he it's the
12:46
reverse of the situation he was in and Phantom Menace.
12:49
So he knows yes how to defend against the attack that he used.
12:54
Mmm. He's trying to trying to warn
12:57
him trying to say, please don't. But my God, the whole thing is
13:00
so sad, honestly, and it's a beautiful duel and it is badass,
13:04
it is. It's a really badass do, which
13:07
we should go into some day in more detail.
13:09
But yeah, we will, that's my number four.
13:11
What's your number four? Guess what?
13:13
My number four is, it's the very next duel when they see each
13:17
other next. Oh, it's when Vader faces off
13:21
with Obi-Wan on the Death Star and Luke and Leia, and all them
13:24
are watching. I love that moment.
13:26
Now, this is the first lightsaber duel ever on screen,
13:30
so the fact that Obi-Wan is involved in the very first
13:33
lightsaber duel, ever on-screen ever is like badass in and of
13:38
itself, but I just think it's badass of him to number one
13:43
sacrifice himself. For Luke, basically number to be
13:47
content with dying and number three, doing it in front of his
13:50
old, Apprentice in all the stuff that we're going to see in the
13:53
Kenobi, series is leading up to To this moment as well, right?
13:57
So we don't know how much more intense that that scene is going
14:00
to get after. We see what goes on in this, in
14:02
the TV series well and Anakin thinks he's killing him.
14:07
Well, OB wouldn't know what I have like.
14:09
Obi-Wan knows that actually, he is so strong in the force that
14:13
you can't. Yeah, actually kill him anymore.
14:15
Which is crazy. This is what I, this is what I
14:18
wrote on my list, choosing to die against Vader and pissing
14:21
him off. Letting him think he won.
14:23
That's what I put on my actual. Paper.
14:26
I love that. That is the most badass fucking
14:29
thing Obi-Wan's ever done. Well, it's only number four on
14:32
my list. Well, yeah.
14:33
I mean honestly, these lists could be you could move any of
14:37
these things. Absolutely number one honestly
14:40
because he also fucking great. I heard somebody say once that
14:43
like, Anakin's fall happened because he was trying to find a
14:47
way to cheat death. And then right at the last
14:50
minute, Obi one knows how to cheat.
14:53
It's like psyched if he had just now.
14:55
Not listen to palpitate at all. If he just hung around for a
14:58
little while until qui-gon's go showed up Anakin could have just
15:01
learned the trick without you know all the messy stuff,
15:06
Shoulda Coulda Woulda. Well that's my number four.
15:10
I know it's great, isn't it? So heady level Infinity really?
15:15
I live for petty. All right.
15:17
Number three, yes. Back to clone wars for me.
15:20
Same. It's like the tiniest moment.
15:23
But oh my God. I love it.
15:25
What is it season seven when he cuts that fucking rocket in
15:29
half? It's about to hit Cody.
15:34
I don't think I've ever been. So turned on my whole life, I
15:40
forgot about that. I did this, not on my list, but
15:43
that's great. I forgot about it until I logged
15:47
on to Disney plus and that was like, the little preview that
15:50
was on right? Then because they were, they
15:52
were using a season 7 thing. And I was like, oh yeah, that
15:54
was like, Like that moment. It's a good one.
15:57
It was not enough, but it was a lot.
16:01
Just was a lot in a little. It was such a like, it's a
16:04
fucking rocket and he cuts it in half.
16:06
No. And then saves Cody's live at
16:10
the same time. It's so, and then says something
16:13
snippy after her. Yes, I loved it.
16:16
This is why we love Obi-Wan so much is because he can do it
16:20
all. He can do this, something Grand
16:22
like that in one, tiny little move, one, A little moment and
16:26
then follow it up with just a sassy comment or two, you know,
16:30
no big deal, casually saving everyone's life, it's just he
16:35
can do it all man of many skills.
16:38
So what's your number 30? My number three, back to clone
16:41
wars years. This has to be on your list.
16:44
If it isn't then at least it's on.
16:46
Mine jar. Chi Obi-Wan.
16:49
Yeah, in the hallway. Again, small and sauvage.
16:54
That's my number two. Yeah.
16:56
Okay. Alright.
16:57
Well, let's talk about it. It's like the best most epic.
17:05
It's hot. It's yeah.
17:06
Oh my God, it's fucking Talent. It's raw.
17:12
An adulterer talent and he does it so easily.
17:17
He just picks up another lightsaber and goes for it.
17:20
Like I would even argue that he is like, that's his Peak, it is.
17:25
Because you never, you never see.
17:27
It's like it requires so much concentration in such a small
17:31
space with so many deadly opponents, you know?
17:35
Yeah, literally has no room to maneuver and like the stuff he's
17:38
doing is insane and you never see anything like it before, or
17:42
after I think that is, like probably the hardest like most
17:46
demanding lightsaber duel in like a mentally demanding.
17:49
Maybe I suppose you could argue against that, but it's
17:53
physically demanding. And emotionally because mall is
17:57
just not any old opponent. Now, he's just met sauvage or is
18:02
Vaguely Familiar with him. By this point he doesn't know
18:05
too much. He's still an impressive
18:08
opponent because of his sheer size and his strength, right?
18:11
And he knows. And that he's killed, at least
18:14
three Jedi by this point, at least.
18:17
And then we have Mall in the whole emotional baggage of
18:19
Qui-Gon that comes along with him and that, you know, Obi-Wan
18:23
killed him once already technically, and yeah, He's back
18:26
doing all this shit and it like, didn't he just watch a Jedi die?
18:30
Like not long before this so he had just step out of that fast.
18:34
Yeah, you know and like all of this is just like so you have to
18:38
have some muscle memory. You got to have just some
18:41
quickness to you, like it's just second nature to him, but it's
18:45
so difficult to do and he does it.
18:48
So, effortless. I mean there's effort being had.
18:50
I mean, he's struggling he's still like really graceful and
18:54
very graceful and And my God, I would crumble a lesser Jedi
19:00
less. Okay, lesser Jedi's have
19:02
crumbled. That's true.
19:03
No offense to them. Yeah, but goddamn.
19:06
Yeah, it's fucking great. And especially considering he's
19:09
using a different light saber form than he normally uses.
19:13
You know? He's he usually uses.
19:14
What is it ataru or whatever it is or your their expert?
19:18
I'm sorry. Sir.
19:19
A su master of space suit. Yes, there you go but he's not
19:25
using that. I'm at all there.
19:26
So it's like the fact that there's some quote that Mace
19:30
Windu says that Obi-Wan is like Invincible sort of because of
19:34
him being such a master. It's raised to he's defensive
19:37
constantly and nothing can touch him.
19:40
And in this sequence he's not using that at all and he's still
19:43
looking amazing know that he's like he's like sweeping the leg
19:47
and punchin and dive in. And using the wall to jump off
19:50
of, he's doing all this acrobatics and stuff to avoid
19:52
and deflect and so he's using every surface around him and
19:55
Every move he's got to get out of this situation and like, end
19:59
it with those. Yeah, whether it means like
20:01
escaping or killing one of them or both of them.
20:03
Like yeah, it doesn't come to that in this episode, but damn,
20:06
I mean the it's badass that is fucking animated and it looks as
20:10
good as it is. I know it looks as good as it
20:14
does. Yeah.
20:14
On screen. It's amazing.
20:16
Like to have all that happen. Animated is there's a lot going
20:19
on. I mean they the details to the
20:22
animators. Yeah that shows details are just
20:25
fucking Blowing every time it's so good.
20:28
I was I love watching it to one time when I was watching it
20:31
because you and I both like working out and like lifting
20:33
weights and such and there was a moment where they show like him
20:37
gripping, but the lightsabers and he has you know he's using
20:40
two lightsabers but mall and sauvage are using both hands on
20:44
their one and he's having to deflect all that force with one
20:47
hand each and I was thinking like how that would hurt just
20:51
your hands, you know like imagine the strength and just
20:54
your hands like holding your Your shoulders to yeah like it's
20:57
crazy and I know they have the force but still like you
21:00
physically have to be able to maintain control.
21:03
I just I don't know how someone would physically do it against
21:05
two giants like mall and sauvage there.
21:09
They're huge yeah and in a hallway with your back against
21:14
the wall going on on that literally like it's a lot that's
21:18
a badass moment. That's I mean it's the only
21:20
number three it's your number two.
21:22
Yeah. But what's your number two then?
21:25
Oh no. To let's talk because panties
21:29
are about to drop everywhere. And it's why.
21:33
It's number two. I might know this.
21:35
It might know what this is. I think you might know that
21:39
comment, give it away. All I have to say, is Attack of
21:43
the Clones. Yes, I get it, you do it, okay,
21:48
okay. It's the sweep and stabbed
21:50
motion, there's an entire Twitter account called the
21:53
sweeping Obi-Wan account. The gift where they just post
21:57
that gif of him twirling, the lightsaber gritting his teeth
22:01
and Bring that creature. Yes, that's on my honorable
22:04
mentions because it has it easy on here.
22:07
It is an essential moment. It's, it is by definition.
22:13
One of the most badass things that we see ya ever.
22:17
Because he's so in control and it's so visible, and it's so
22:22
hot. And the hair is like in the eyes
22:25
and know what is that? It's the first time that the
22:27
mall it looks good. Like no.
22:29
It's cuz it's not roller brushed back.
22:31
Back off its yeah, right. That's right falling in his
22:34
eyes, which is much much sweaty. It's it's yeah, control.
22:39
It's great. I love all of them - that gift
22:42
that you and I will, occasionally discuss each other.
22:45
Like the that's all lasting back and forth.
22:48
Yes, yes. Yeah, like the whole scene like
22:51
because a shame shame on you Game of Thrones, Shame, Shame,
22:57
Shame. If you don't like that, see,
22:59
shame game. Oh yeah it's a whole thing.
23:03
You watch Game of Thrones. There's a bell, a shame.
23:07
The devil. Yeah there's a shame Bell that's
23:09
all say yeah. Anyone who's watched the show
23:13
knows the shame Bell. So I'm wringing it.
23:16
If you don't like that scene or a have looked at that gift and
23:19
said now, that's not cool. You know, get out of here.
23:21
Good. It's so badass.
23:23
I need to see what we want to make that face in the Kenobi
23:26
Syria. I need it.
23:27
I don't want need, that's the thing I love about you and
23:31
Portrayal of ob1. He yes shows the like he will
23:35
snarl. He'll have like the anger in his
23:38
face like so many people think of them as like fucking cinnamon
23:41
bun and he is like uh mmm ruthless back.
23:46
And you can tell you and you and likes that right.
23:50
He wants to character should be that way.
23:52
That's his choice. Yes.
23:54
And that's badass. Yeah, I love that.
23:58
I'm so glad that my number two. It's okay, I know.
24:02
I mean it. Come on.
24:03
It's like it's basically what our friendship is.
24:06
Founded on. No it's not.
24:10
But you know what I mean? Well that's where the converted
24:12
it was our foundation. Yeah yeah so you know number two
24:18
not bad. I was going to make it number
24:19
one but I couldn't not acknowledge what my number one
24:22
is. So it's a nice number two spot.
24:25
Yeah it's for me it's a good one.
24:27
Yeah it came and your number two was dark.
24:30
I caress. Yeah, the whole routine.
24:31
Fievel duel is just everything I need in my life.
24:35
Yeah. To all our listeners out there
24:37
who are nodding along and screaming.
24:39
Yes, we love you because we can kind of hear you.
24:42
Yeah. In the energy right now within
24:44
this recording, drum roll, please the number one.
24:50
All right. What is your number one?
24:52
My number one is Duel of the Fates, same of course, but of
24:57
course particularly just a moment between him and mall at
25:00
the end, but the whole crew. That's great Saya.
25:03
Yep. Yep.
25:04
I have killing a Sith and the same one twice.
25:09
So, not only does Obi-Wan, he's like the first to kill a Sith,
25:13
right? Yeah.
25:14
And like the same motherfucker twice in like a thousand years,
25:17
as a student, even his own Master didn't succeed, a Padawan
25:22
no seated. Yeah.
25:24
It is going to truly the most badass thing and after the
25:28
emotional, just that whole Nothing.
25:32
Can you put yourself in his shoes and do the same?
25:34
I couldn't there's no way. Well I feel like just getting
25:38
like knocked in the face and like falling into the reactor
25:41
shaft is the thing that suddenly made his brain like Snap into
25:46
place and be like I need to calm down.
25:48
Yes because it's a key was I need to Center myself.
25:51
Yes and it was a giant lesson for him for the rest of his
25:54
life. Yeah.
25:54
How to continue to defeat opponents?
25:57
Yeah you know. Mmm it was yeah.
26:00
Oh you're so right? All right, and like you see that
26:04
in the last duel between him and Mall?
26:07
Because he uses that knowledge again.
26:09
Small because he's changed. And he's grown.
26:11
Whereas mall has not mall. Has the same.
26:14
Yep. He's using the same.
26:15
Fucking technique. Isn't changed anything?
26:18
Nope. Yeah, you can die and come back
26:21
due to your anger and not learn anything.
26:23
Seriously, Mall. Seriously.
26:25
He's so seriously wrecked mine, though.
26:27
Like, he just can't help himself.
26:29
We always talk about how like cerebral he is.
26:31
Is and what a thinker he is and how smart and tactful mall is.
26:35
And yet he didn't learn anything and Obi-Wan continues to morph
26:39
and grow, and yeah, killed him twice.
26:41
Its, you're making such a good point.
26:44
And like, there are so many moments where only one could
26:48
have become that way, you know, like could have gotten stuck in
26:52
a cycle in a rut, and yeah, I'm sure we'll see that.
26:55
He was really at risk of that happening with, you know, being
26:59
on Tatooine after Anakin, but something.
27:01
The show is going to make it so that he doesn't end up in that
27:06
dark place forever. You know, it's so interesting
27:10
but like those moves dude, he's fighting so fast.
27:13
So good. It's so good.
27:16
The whole lightsaber duel even when Qui-Gon is you know they're
27:19
all fighting each other. Yeah you know it's the first
27:22
time we see a double-edged lightsaber, right?
27:24
Oh yeah I guess that is. They have to deal with that
27:27
people. Shit themselves watching right?
27:30
It matters the first time. For many reasons, but that was
27:33
one of the positive I was very young, but I remember it.
27:40
And I was like, that's not supposed to happen.
27:43
Yeah, but it did pretty sure Mall said the same thing that
27:46
Obi-Wan when he jumped out of that tunnel or left out of the
27:49
shaft there and slice them in half, he looked out.
27:51
He's like, that's not supposed. It was like.
27:53
Hmm. I still laugh.
27:55
Every time all falls down the reactor ship and his body split
27:59
skirt and you see his face for Second.
28:02
And it's so ridiculous. It's so not effective.
28:09
It's hilarious, which it shouldn't be funny.
28:13
It shouldn't be. But it, it's, it isn't.
28:15
That's why we love it. So, we got that face, because
28:19
Obi-Wan decided to calm down, collect himself and leap out of
28:24
what it is. It a garbage Chute?
28:25
What it showed is that are sounds like a reactor shaft,
28:28
anything reactor shaft. Okay, garbage Chute.
28:31
Well, it turns into a garbage Chute.
28:32
When Mall flip falls down, actually, he does fall into a
28:36
garbage truck. He's taken to a garbage Planet,
28:40
so maybe it is their wish you could be writing.
28:43
It can be more than one thing it is when he falls down at, that's
28:48
what I'm saying. The garbage piece of shit,
28:49
that's when it becomes a garbage Chute.
28:51
Yeah, that's it. Yeah.
28:53
Oh yeah, but yeah, yeah, impressive shit.
28:56
There's a lot going on for him in that moment to like calm
28:59
down. Also, physically do the It while
29:02
getting the lightsaber and also making sure he doesn't get his
29:05
arms and legs cut off by mall while he's doing the Fright.
29:09
There's nothing better than watching him.
29:11
Overcome everything, and then kill em all.
29:13
Yeah, and I do love those pretty damn good lip snarl thing.
29:17
I love that. It's I know, I know, it's so
29:19
good. We need more.
29:22
I know, I guess that was you. It was recorded that and then
29:25
they liked it so much. They kept it in.
29:27
It wasn't like in the script. But yeah, like he's so young, I
29:31
know. God.
29:32
He's so baby-faced baby face with that short hair, and it's
29:36
just like now you see him and he's full-blown adults matured,
29:41
man. Like, he's coming both cycle.
29:43
Yeah, I'll take any of it. It's fine.
29:45
I'll even take an animated version.
29:47
I don't care. No, we're here for the
29:49
animation. Come on now, shit's hot.
29:51
We've said it many times whoever came up with the actual design.
29:54
For animated ob1 just understood.
29:57
They just really, they understood.
29:59
The assignment. Is it that thing?
30:01
Saying now, it's totally good list.
30:04
Yeah, that was great. I've been so excited to do this
30:08
ever since you might know me too.
30:09
Of course we had some overlaps but now you have you have
30:12
honorable mentions? I don't.
30:13
So I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy.
30:16
I'm sure. You'll agree with pretty much
30:18
all of these. The first one I have is him
30:21
kicking pre Vizsla assassin. Oh my God, mandala right now I
30:25
think. Is that one?
30:27
Oh yes, that's a good one. That's a good that guy like he
30:31
He is on the defense, he never attacks, he just deflects know
30:35
everything, and it's just kind of like he does get a few like
30:38
punches thrown at him, but otherwise he just kind of like
30:41
owns that entire situation, which I thought was pretty funny
30:43
because he just allows vizla to do that.
30:46
So he doesn't feel completely mortified.
30:48
At the end of that doesn't doesn't work.
30:50
Launch me a few times just so I look good in front of my
30:53
girlfriend but otherwise, yeah, he's pretty Visa just lives in
30:58
shame. The rest of his life.
31:01
I would I said, pretty much any time he fights Grievous because,
31:07
of course, well, it's all three of us in this house and it's
31:11
great to see him. Just get so flustered and then
31:13
crawl away on all six or whatever.
31:15
How many legs he has four? Six eight, whatever uses this
31:19
little scorpion body. Yes, metal scorpion body spider.
31:23
He's a fighter mode, or rific. It.
31:26
I don't understand the point of that, but it's fun.
31:29
Whenever Obi-Wan forces him into just crawling, Literally
31:32
crawling away in shame and defeat it happened so much.
31:35
I love every single time it happened.
31:36
So great. And then I do, like, when
31:39
Obi-Wan kicks him, and it's just like, oh no, what have I done?
31:46
Why would you do this? That's like I've broken my foot
31:49
hurts me to think about. I kind of relate though.
31:51
I feel like I would do that. So many and probably try like,
31:55
anyone would try and then be like, oh wait, right?
31:58
Yeah, he's all metal. Never mind that you I'd probably
32:00
try and bitch slap. And then my hand would be like,
32:03
well break all your fingers. Yeah, I wish they had had some
32:07
somebody punch him like right in the face plate and realize it
32:11
that it seems like an Anakin thing.
32:13
Yeah, it does. But you know, didn't meet and
32:15
Clone Wars. I know.
32:17
I know which is pretty genius on, you know, filoni and
32:20
companies part. Yeah.
32:22
Because they know going into Revenge of the Sith they've
32:24
never met. So they literally did not.
32:27
They kept them apart, the entire seven seasons of Clone Wars.
32:30
I love that, that's really important.
32:31
Impressive that they like stuck to their guns on that.
32:35
Yeah. Oh the Citadel was one, I'd like
32:39
oh basically listen the whole thing 54321 could have been all
32:45
moments from The Citadel Arc alone.
32:47
That's true. We should do a citadel serious.
32:50
We're gonna do this it. Let's do that.
32:52
Let's do that. That would be intense.
32:54
Happy really entertaining. There's a lot almost to break
32:57
down. Yeah.
32:58
There's a lot to talk about there because it's really not
33:01
for kids. No, no.
33:04
And we have we have a lot of drama with Ahsoka.
33:06
We have a lot of drama with Anakin and we meet Tarkin and
33:09
yeah. Tarkin yeah, poor little
33:11
what's-his-name. Who dies?
33:13
What's his name? Ethan?
33:14
Oh oh oh no. Evan Evan peel Evan, it's such a
33:18
pedestrian. A my Evan Miss ever have, it'll
33:20
heal mr. Evan Pilato is.
33:23
He's like fucking Russian mobster on a motorcycle.
33:27
That was gonna like what? I and yeah, it's great.
33:31
I want to know Is bar stories. His bar fight stories.
33:35
I know he has one. He's like, if Yoda wasn't a
33:38
green. Yes.
33:40
Be kind of look like mr. Peel.
33:42
And then, of course, Obi-Wan in the clones and oh, my God,
33:45
there's so much. And that guy, the lead guy who
33:49
like runs the Citadel. Oh yeah.
33:53
What's his name? I can't remember so big.
33:55
He's a trip. I know his name is something so
33:58
pick. I can't remember his first name
33:59
but he's he's Also voiced by James Arnold Taylor and he's a
34:04
mix of Al Pacino and Christopher Walken.
34:11
So there's a combo, once you hear that, you know, that it's
34:14
really hard to like unhear it when you're watching this, it's
34:20
so good. I love it so much.
34:22
Great. Oh my God, I like the sequence
34:25
to where he fights the Anubis, you know, those big like
34:28
wolf-dogs that attack them him and Anakin, oh yeah, yeah, both
34:33
him and Anakin are so extra in that fight.
34:35
It's there's like really are flipping and Probiotics going
34:39
on, it's really entertaining. I love that.
34:42
I love watching it every that whole Arc will do a whole thing
34:44
on that, that, that would be so fun because you and I we used to
34:48
watch that all the time when we do our net for the tardies.
34:50
Oh yeah. That one's a classic between you
34:53
and I. Yeah, there's a lot of
34:54
rewinding. There's so much greatness in it.
34:57
I just and everyone looks so good.
35:01
Oh God. They're all in there like final
35:03
design phase. So like ahsoka's costume is
35:05
really cool and that's why I thought of first two.
35:08
Yeah. Yeah, she's got the they finally
35:10
got her out of a fucking tube top and put her in a real
35:13
outfit. We'll talk about costumes on an
35:19
episode, should just talk about a soap as costumes because she's
35:22
gone through so many stages. Well, and now with her show
35:26
coming up in her new, her latest designs, which I do love was
35:29
very Bohemian. I know she got the like MC
35:32
Hammer pants. Oh, the parachute pants pants.
35:37
Look, she had to wear, she had to wear tights her whole life
35:42
and she got to an age where she's like, you know what I'm
35:44
done, I'm putting on my sweatpants.
35:45
Just like the rest. I was gonna take girl we all get
35:48
there, get it. Especially these are comfortable
35:52
since covid. We're all in pajamas, all the
35:54
pollen loose-fitting clothes, we got you a selca, we get you.
36:00
The only other honorable mention I have besides the attack of the
36:04
Clones that you mentioned was the rako hardeen stuff.
36:07
Oh that whole thing is a display of his quick thinking strategic
36:12
thinking his ability to pretend to be a whole No other person
36:18
like yeah, killing people as this whole other person.
36:22
Yeah. Having to like hide his
36:25
compassion, which I actually see a lot of like, parallels that we
36:28
might see in the graphic novel series because he couldn't show
36:32
that he was a Jedi and he had to, like, fight off people
36:35
without using the force. And which again, as we said, in
36:38
our rako, hardeen episode, like just goes to show, what a
36:42
fucking ruthless bastard. He could be if you wanted to be.
36:46
Yeah. Sith Obi-Wan is just creeping
36:48
under the surface. Excellent.
36:53
Well that was that was fun, badass moments.
36:56
I really enjoyed this conversation.
36:58
I did to that was great. You know what, we could do a
37:00
whole another list and we will revisit this in the future just
37:04
do badass moments from the Kenobi series.
37:07
Okay, meet us back here soon. So what do you guys think?
37:18
What is your top badass? Obi-Wan Kenobi moment, from any
37:23
part of Star Wars ever. Tell us.
37:26
We want to know. It's probably on our list for up
37:28
but if it isn't we want to know even more?
37:30
Yes. Seriously.
37:31
It is there one that you have that we didn't mention because
37:34
maybe we need to re-watch that moment.
37:38
Yes, we definitely want to re-watch that moment next week,
37:44
you know what time it is. It is next week, folks.
37:47
Next week is our review of episode 1 and episode 2 of the
37:53
Kenobi Series. Right here, on most things
