Episode 155: The Subtleties of Obi-Wan Kenobi · Most Things Kenobi - A Star Wars Podcast

0:00
Hello there, it's time for Most Things Kenobi.
0:03
Shouldn't it be all Things Kenobi?
0:18
Hi everyone. Welcome to another episode of
0:21
Most Things Kenobi, a podcast about Obi Wan Kenobi and all
0:24
things Star Wars. I'm your host, Lauren.
0:27
And I'm your host, Leanne. And I have to say, every word
0:31
that just came out of my mouth felt like I said them all
0:33
backwards. Really.
0:36
My God, you didn't. OK, good.
0:38
I can confirm you did not I. Felt like I was chewing gum
0:41
while I was talking and I was terrible.
0:44
One of those days, huh? Yeah.
0:47
And this week we are talking about little things and big
0:53
things, but just special things about special things when
0:56
Kenobi, all the little things that make us love him and that
1:00
have kind of stood out to us as interesting or maybe funny or I
1:06
don't know, just little details. Because, I mean, we've dissected
1:10
the real, real big things. It's true.
1:13
These a subtle man with subtleties that are lovely.
1:17
And maybe maybe they're not so subtle after all, you know?
1:20
Maybe these actually end up being big things in the end, you
1:24
know? And some of these things I'd be
1:26
curious to know what the choices were behind them, either by the
1:30
the actor or the animators, why they chose to do certain things.
1:34
Yeah, true, true. So neither of us have prepared a
1:40
list. We're just kind of like winging
1:42
this, which is fine because we can talk.
1:45
This is a test in how well we know him.
1:50
I mean truly. Seriously, let's see if we can
1:53
do it. I'm honestly we are on episode
1:56
155 of an Obi Wan Kenobi podcast.
1:58
I think we could do it. Yeah, I think we can.
2:03
Well, like, obviously, I think the first thing that comes to
2:07
mind for me is the hair, the little piece of hair.
2:10
Yes, yeah, especially, I mean in Clone Wars, right, the little
2:14
dangling forehead piece that seems to always respond to the
2:18
wind, the slightest breeze. Honestly, I so want to know who
2:23
wanted to go from like solid plastic, kind of like action
2:27
figure, yeah, to making a few pieces move, not even all of it,
2:35
just like one little eyebrow piece.
2:39
I don't know. Well, I'm trying.
2:40
I'm trying to think this like Anna can even have that and I
2:43
don't think he does. Like in season seven, he kind of
2:47
gets some pieces that move, but. But it's, I think it's an odd
2:54
little detail that it adds quite a bit of something to him
3:00
because he's so, he's so like tight, he's so put together.
3:04
And the one little dangly hair over his forehead suggests that
3:08
he might not always be well put together.
3:11
Quaffed, if you will. Yeah, and like, he kind of leans
3:16
into it a bit like likes, it's like a little bit of rogue
3:20
roguish hair. Yeah, which I I really Love
3:23
Actually. If you, if you think of that
3:27
hair from Clone Wars and then you think about the Kenobi
3:31
series, 'cause his hair is real. Like obviously it's post Clone
3:37
Wars 'cause it's post Revenge of the Sith, but it's like, I can
3:43
see it more because it's longer, it's a little more unkempt.
3:45
We get we get moments where we actually see a hair out of place
3:50
in the live action series, so it becomes more believable for an
3:54
animated piece as well. I mean, they're trying to
3:58
animate Ewan McGregor's marvelous hair.
4:00
I mean. Yeah.
4:02
Mission accomplished. Mission accomplished.
4:05
But why? It's like your question, What
4:07
made them think of this? What made them choose this?
4:09
And it was halfway through the season.
4:11
It was season three, I think is when it.
4:13
I think it's introduced and I really noticed it in the Citadel
4:17
arc because, which makes sense because they're climbing up that
4:21
rock face. And the hair is its own
4:23
character. Yeah, the hair well and the lack
4:27
of nostrils because he he doesn't have any nostrils, which
4:31
I love, but it's it gives it lends to the fact that it
4:35
they're high up because there's wind right And yes, that's the
4:39
point. But the rogue hair then becomes
4:42
like its own side character. He like.
4:46
Pops up over the the platform and it's it's very prevalent.
4:50
Yeah, yeah. And I think that was kind of
4:54
when I became aware that he had different clothes too, because
4:57
he was wearing less and less armor.
4:59
And I at first it didn't like click with me.
5:02
And then I was like, wait, they all look different.
5:06
Yeah, this is when they start wearing their like robes as
5:10
opposed to their the arm and shoulder plates and things.
5:14
And practically speaking, I guess it's because their
5:18
animation technology got better because they said before that
5:23
it's very hard to render fabric. So the armor was easier to
5:30
animate and it's wearing cloaks was actually very difficult for
5:33
them to render because it would move constantly.
5:35
And I guess that got easier to do as they went on because
5:38
eventually like the under on episode, they were in cloaks
5:42
like the entire time. Interesting, I never thought of
5:46
it like that, but now that you've say that the ends do
5:50
flutter and they make it work in the later, I mean, I mean they
5:53
made it flawless. It's funny to think that they
5:55
couldn't do it at first. I wonder if that's why the hair
5:58
if they decided to add motion to his hair.
6:00
Oh. Maybe they're like, you know
6:03
what, we're experimenting, let's do it with a piece of hair.
6:06
I don't know. Well, I'm here for it because
6:09
when Opie one says in Revenge of the Sith, another happy landing
6:13
and he like pushes his hair out of his face.
6:16
Yes, one of my favorite moments. So now they kind of like took
6:19
the spirit of that, just put it into Clone Wars.
6:24
One little detail, and this goes back to Clone Wars as well, that
6:31
I think they added it and it was an excellent choice, is his
6:35
casual knowledge of speaking Ryloth or whatever their
6:40
language is. He casually, just like whips it
6:44
out and speaks to what's what's the little girl's name?
6:47
Numa. Numa.
6:49
Yes, yeah, yeah. And it speaks to how he can
6:54
level with just about anyone he can connect.
6:58
What other hidden languages does he have that he just knows you
7:02
know and bust out whenever it's necessary?
7:05
Yeah, I feel like he knows hotties a bit as well.
7:09
Like I know that there was a translator Droid when he was
7:12
with Quinlan, but I feel like they both kind of understood
7:16
what was being said anyway. Yeah, yeah.
7:20
Yeah, I think that's the secret. It's just like dropped in there
7:23
with no explanation and I love that.
7:25
Yeah, it's very, it's very casually, like just, oh, he
7:30
knows her language. How does he know?
7:34
You know your brain is spinning while the scene's taking place.
7:37
Or at least mine was. It's not just understand, he
7:39
speaks it to her. Yeah, yeah, and connects with
7:43
her, which means that there's an emotional level that it's not.
7:46
You're not just like regurgitating words that you
7:48
think go together. He's literally speaking to her
7:51
and it's, it really works. It works 'cause he's.
7:55
Where did he learn it? I don't know why is he so good
7:58
with kids? I don't know, because that's, I
8:03
kind of love that about the Kenobi series, that he's really
8:06
bad with Leia at first. It, I think there's an
8:10
awkwardness there because he knows so much about her.
8:15
It, the whole thing, her parents, the history with Numa,
8:20
she's just kind of like a little kid and he can block her eyes or
8:24
what is it her ears or whatever? It's her eyes.
8:27
Yeah, yeah. You know, it's just a a kid that
8:30
he has to protect. But Leia, there's like a lot of
8:33
depth there. There's a lot of there's a lot
8:35
of history. I.
8:36
Know and he like he snaps at her or he even is kind of
8:40
unsympathetic at first and he slowly becomes more and more
8:44
kind and sympathetic to her. I think he notices once that he
8:48
is kind of rude to her and after that he's he tries he's like so
8:52
what's your droids name? Yeah, it's like.
8:55
You were already mean. Too late.
8:59
He was. He was also cut off from the
9:01
forest and trying not to form any kind of attachment after
9:04
everything that happened, like any kind of.
9:07
So I'll blame it on that. That's a good point.
9:09
I have always wanted I like, I want to see, but I don't I don't
9:13
want Star Wars to show me this really.
9:16
But what what he was, what he was like with Anakin when they
9:19
first started trading together because.
9:23
That was probably awkward too. Yeah, I imagine there was like a
9:26
learning curve there and he might not have been so good at
9:29
it at first. And but I also don't want them
9:32
to fill in the gaps there. I'd rather just do that myself.
9:37
Yeah, yeah, it's true. Because I don't want to see how
9:40
Anakin was with him in reverse either.
9:42
Like what if he was a little bastard or maybe he was super
9:45
doting, you know? I don't know.
9:47
It could could be either way. And that could be hard working
9:50
in its own, yeah, its own way. Truly, truly.
9:57
Well, something I've always loved, and again, they never
10:01
explain it. It's it's pretty much, I think
10:03
it's just a Clone Wars thing. I don't think it was in live
10:06
action, but the way we went backhands with his lightsaber.
10:12
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like a.
10:14
Laser bolt and he's running away from Grievous and he just bats
10:17
it away and he does it again somewhere else.
10:19
Where is it? I would think it's when, Oh
10:23
gosh, it's not revenge. It's the episode after that with
10:26
Maul. Oh.
10:28
Revival. Oh yeah, maybe.
10:30
Is that? What?
10:30
It's called God. I can't.
10:31
Believe Revenge is the last episode of that season, and then
10:34
it's the next one is the first episode of The Following.
10:37
Exactly. So it's that first episode he's
10:39
out with Adiya Gallia. Adiya Galli.
10:41
Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:42
Interesting. Her name wrong.
10:44
She dies. Yeah, it's rough, but he's
10:47
running back into Hondo's lair and again, he like backhands.
10:52
Yeah, I think that's really. I love that move.
10:55
I don't know, I. Do too, because again, he's
10:58
always so like uptight and perfect and that is so like
11:03
something a kid would do and it's like.
11:05
Swatting, swatting a family. Like get away like I just did.
11:08
There's a gnat in here. I just did it.
11:15
But it's like it's fun and it's kind of playful and it's like
11:19
really a little bit, you might say it was arrogant because he
11:23
just knows he's going to get it without effort.
11:26
And I kind of love that because he it's like a little insight
11:31
into how he knows he's really good.
11:34
Yeah, it is it it's it's kind of.
11:37
I would like to know. I stutter so much when I talk
11:40
because I have 1800 thoughts at once and they're all fighting to
11:44
come out at once. But I would like to know how a
11:49
Jedi senses a laser blast coming at them.
11:53
Now I've read it through numerous Star Wars media and
11:57
everyone has a slightly different way of describing it
12:01
which I like, but I wonder what it.
12:04
I know it's all fake, but I wonder what it actually feels
12:07
like like. Yeah, I've heard they can draw
12:11
them to them so that they can reflective hit it away
12:15
accurately, more accurately. That seems chancy.
12:18
That seems really risky. You'd have to be really good.
12:22
That what are the other explanations?
12:24
Do you remember any of them well?
12:25
The one that is that stands out to me, I think Matthew Stover
12:28
wrote about it in in his in his book.
12:30
But the one that I'm thinking of now, I'm not going to remember
12:34
it quote for quote 'cause I read this book a number of years ago.
12:37
But it's the Thrawn alliances with where he meets Anakin and
12:42
they go to whatever planet. I can't remember now but I
12:48
remember Anakin describing like blaster bolts coming at him and
12:55
he like his back was turned to one and he sensed like a heat
12:58
coming towards him and he turned and deflected like a like a a
13:03
menacing heat or something. That's interesting.
13:07
I think I'm describing that. If I'm misremembering and
13:11
somebody knows, please correct me, but I remember it being that
13:15
description was the most interesting to me because it's
13:19
also through Anakin's point of view, so I wonder if he
13:22
interprets it differently than, say, Obi Wan would.
13:25
You know, maybe Anakin makes it personal.
13:28
He seems like he would make it personal.
13:31
He can't help it. Just a hunch, but you know.
13:35
The way he is, you know, can't not take it personally.
13:40
But are you sensing the person shooting at you or are you
13:43
sensing the thing being shot at you?
13:45
That's, I don't know, I'm overcomplicating it, But I do
13:48
wonder if there's subtleties there that, you know, any Jedi
13:51
out there who have an explanation, let me know.
13:53
But it's just, it's one of those things that's always fascinating
13:58
me. Like how do they know to turn
13:59
around at that exact moment? Yeah, I'm for Obi Wan to be able
14:03
to do it without even looking. I mean, it has to be through the
14:06
Force somehow, one way or another, right?
14:09
Like. Yeah, yeah.
14:11
OK. So I'm going to embarrass myself
14:13
by asking this question. OK, there's no embarrassing
14:16
questions. It's fine.
14:17
You know the Obi Wan. The point?
14:20
Yes, the. The double, is that a him thing
14:25
or is it that discipline? Is that part of his mastery of
14:31
what is it Serosu? Is that what he's?
14:33
Serasu, I think it's. Serasu.
14:36
I don't know, that's a really good question.
14:40
I think, I think it's based on there is some stuff in and I'm
14:50
no expert by any means. So if I'm talking out of my ass,
14:53
forgive me. But in like martial arts,
14:57
sometimes you point your and you could see Ray Park does this all
15:02
the time. Like he when he poses like he'll
15:05
have his hands certainly. And it's because you conduct
15:08
energy like through your hands. So like if you see someone do
15:13
the like board punch, you know, they'll put their fingertips
15:16
against it first and then punch through it.
15:18
And it's because you're like focusing your energy into that
15:22
spot. So I don't know if that's what
15:24
he's doing. I assume that has to be part of
15:28
it. It seems like he's it's a it's
15:31
like an in preparation, lining himself up, directing his energy
15:36
or or letting it coil within him, ready to pounce almost.
15:41
Yeah, and he does it two different ways.
15:44
So there's one where the blade is forward and his arm is back
15:46
and he's got the two fingers. And then it's the opposite where
15:49
the two fingers are forward and the blade is back.
15:51
I don't know the. Difference.
15:53
Yeah, yeah. I'm no expert, but yeah, that's
15:58
a great question. So I think it's an I think it's
16:01
an Obi Wan thing because I've never seen anyone else do it.
16:03
So we'll leave it at an Obi Wan thing if they.
16:06
Are doing it, they're just copying him because he looks so
16:08
cool. 100 percent, 100% stamp of approval on that statement, yes.
16:14
Yeah, I mean, there's a great it.
16:16
It came definitely first from at least Revenge of the Sith.
16:20
I I don't remember at all honestly if he doesn't Attack of
16:23
the Clones cause I've only watched that movie like once all
16:25
the way through 'cause it just hurts me.
16:28
But yeah, I mean. He he looks great in it.
16:31
I love it. But he that movie is hard.
16:33
It's hard to get through, but he does when he's fighting
16:36
Grievous, He does that great. Like over he does, yeah.
16:41
Yes, it's. Great your.
16:45
Move. I love all of his interactions
16:47
with Grievous. They're part chiding, they're
16:51
part serious, They're part like, I honestly don't have time for
16:55
this right now. Yeah, You know, it's the you
17:00
again, that sort of attitude. Exactly.
17:03
And it's delightful every time. It never fails to entertain.
17:08
Honestly, if you were to go up against Grievous and you'd never
17:14
seen him before, or even if you'd seen him from a distance
17:16
and then you were up close, he would probably scare the shit
17:20
out of you. Yeah.
17:23
How he's kind of Lombard over and he's got all those parts and
17:26
his face is like weird behind the mask.
17:29
And is it a face is not a face? How are you breathing?
17:31
Why do you have emphysema? Like why is all of this?
17:36
Why do you have human eyes? Yeah, why?
17:41
Why do I somehow connect with you on your level of irritation?
17:45
Like why does but Obi Wan just seems completely unfazed by any
17:50
of it. Yeah.
17:51
And. He also does that with Maul at
17:54
times too. Yeah.
17:56
I kind of like. It I think it's definitely a way
17:59
of disarming somebody who's really arrogant is he's just not
18:03
impressed. No, and and it cuts deeper.
18:08
The only level of unimpressiveness that comes
18:10
close is like Ahsoka's level of I'm not impressed but Obi Wan's
18:15
cuts the deepest. He even does that with Vader a
18:19
bit. Yeah, he literally does a
18:21
shoulder shrug, like, all right, So what?
18:25
You know, like, I don't know, I just, I love that about him so
18:29
much. I don't know if that counts as a
18:31
little thing. I'm just kind of talking about
18:34
everything I love about him and these are coming out.
18:36
I think that's it is it's, it's like this confidence that he
18:41
has, but it also like it's, it's kind of playful.
18:45
I think it's his, it's definitely his Stark, right?
18:47
And everybody knows him as the Stark master and.
18:51
Very true. Examples of it, but I
18:54
particularly like that though because he's just like talks
18:57
shit right them all and right to Grievous's face like Grievous in
19:02
particular and it annoys Grievous every time like he.
19:05
It really does. And I guess adventurous too, for
19:09
that matter. Yeah, it's true, that's true.
19:13
But they they get along quote UN quote get along much better than
19:19
Obi Wan and Grievous do. That's what makes his death so
19:24
anti climatic after you see the clone wars because all it took
19:31
was a blaster shot. Like come on after all that.
19:35
I don't think, I don't think we'd seen Grievous before in the
19:40
movies, had we? He's not an Attack on the
19:44
Clones. I don't think so.
19:46
It was. It was like this scary monster
19:49
that. Unless he was a hologram, like a
19:52
hollow projection. Maybe, but I.
19:55
Don't, but I don't. I don't think so.
19:56
It was always dooku so. Yeah, I think he kind of came
20:00
into power during Clone Wars, so.
20:03
Yeah, it's kind of like, here's a scary thing to be afraid of
20:06
for no reason and we're going to kill him off really weirdly anti
20:10
climactically. And you're right, after Clod
20:13
Wars it definitely makes it so much less impressive because
20:17
it's all this build up, right? How many times have they faced
20:20
off? And that's how he goes out.
20:23
Yeah. Yeah, so uncivilized.
20:26
So there you go with the quotes again.
20:32
It's got the one liners, they're always the best.
20:34
I don't think anyone has as good one liners as Obi Wan honestly.
20:38
True, but you you, you drop them at all the most appropriate
20:42
times and you always catch me off guard.
20:44
I definitely need a life. No, you don't.
20:50
This is all I think about. It's a problem.
20:53
You know what, I just thought of another little thing I really
20:57
love about Obi Wan. Please please share.
21:02
He's kind of a softie with animals and creatures.
21:05
Oh. Yes, I love that too.
21:06
Yeah. You know that shows his true
21:10
heart. Yeah, I.
21:11
Mean he'll kill a bitch if he has to.
21:13
I mean Allah Attack of the clones.
21:15
True killed all those animals. Yeah, but you know, he always
21:21
Pats him and gives him a name or calls him like good girl or a
21:24
good boy or whatever he says to. And the EOP, he's really
21:28
friendly, shares his food with it.
21:31
There's countless little creatures in the Clone Wars that
21:33
he shows affection towards. He tries to avoid harming them
21:39
if possible, like the ticks, instead of killing.
21:42
Yeah, the giant. He like traps them instead but
21:47
he won't hesitate to kill like he does it.
21:50
And not in Clone Wars because it's a kid show, but he kills a
21:53
lot of stuff in in the movies. Yeah, yeah, but he also rides
21:58
away on that like feather tailed looking lizard dragon thing.
22:02
Oh yeah, the veractal I think is.
22:05
Thank you. What it's?
22:06
Called. Well, he's very kind to it, too.
22:09
You know, he, yeah, he just has a he just has an affectionate
22:13
way of dealing or handling with with creatures that I really
22:17
respect. I think that's mentioned in I
22:19
think it's Master and apprentice.
22:22
I'm sorry if I'm remembering the wrong book, but I think there's
22:25
some animal that he ends up writing in that and he creates
22:29
an attachment with it in the force.
22:32
And they kind of imply that he realized that you can like
22:36
connect with animals that way. And ever since then he was like
22:38
kind and affectionate to animals 'cause he could like, feel them
22:41
through the force. But I think that was mastered
22:44
apprentice. I might be misremembering, but
22:46
you. Know since I haven't read it,
22:49
what timeline is that? It's like, how old is he?
22:52
He's younger. He It's before Phantom Menace
22:54
and it's before. Oh, OK, I'm pretty.
22:58
Sure, it's before he goes to Mandalore with Qui Gon.
23:01
OK, so he discovers this pretty young.
23:03
OK, I, I reason I was asking is like, I couldn't remember like I
23:10
I would give him credit for for discovering it sooner than
23:13
later. So I wasn't sure if it was when
23:16
where in the timeline. I should really read that book.
23:18
I know. Listen to it if you don't want
23:20
to read it. It's it's a nice audio book.
23:23
It's easy to listen to. I think it's.
23:25
That's good to know. Jonathan Davies, I think, and he
23:28
does their both both characters voices very well.
23:31
He's. Good.
23:32
Yeah, he's good. Yeah, you know, something that's
23:36
really weird that I really like. So stupid, but it's true.
23:40
No, I like the way he sits. Oh my God, I was going to say
23:45
how he sits. I was going to say this.
23:48
We're so space twitty. Oh my God, Lauren.
23:53
OK, you tell me. You tell me what you like about
23:57
how he sits and I'll see if it's the same what I was going to
23:59
say. That's.
24:01
So funny. Because it's so the opposite of
24:06
how Ewan McGregor sits usually. And he it's like there's I've
24:10
seen posts on Tumblr where they show Obi Wan sits with the the
24:14
leg crossed with the knee on the ankle on the opposite knee, or
24:18
he'll like lean forward onto his knees while he's sitting and
24:22
like listen to people, which is very like, I don't want to, I
24:27
don't know the word macho comes to mind, but that's not really
24:30
the word I mean, but you know what I mean, kind of like.
24:32
I know, I know what you're trying to say.
24:33
I don't know what a but. Then like Ewan sits always in
24:37
every interview with his legs crossed.
24:40
Like I'm not on to the knee, but like all the way across.
24:45
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that he made that choice
24:47
to have him sit like that and in a more, I guess maybe a more
24:51
aggressive stance. I don't know if that's the word
24:53
either, but I just like it is it seems.
24:58
I don't know, like I don't know what I would expect.
25:00
I would expect Anakin to sit that way more, and I kind of
25:03
like that we wants to know it. I don't know.
25:06
It's weird, but it's a thing. I know other people have noticed
25:10
it so. I get it.
25:11
I picture, I picture Anakin as a knee Tapper, like a knee bobber.
25:16
He sits with his knee bobbing all the time because he's
25:19
severely impatient and just get to the point, which is how I am.
25:24
So that's like how I am in every meeting I've ever been in my
25:28
entire fucking life. But I completely agree with you.
25:32
It's like Obi Wan's ready at any moment.
25:35
He's not casual, he's not resting.
25:38
He's also just ready. Yeah.
25:42
All the time. That's what I interpret.
25:46
He has a very straight back. Yeah, his shoulders are always
25:49
squared. There's a screenshot I have of
25:53
them where they all have this perfect yoga posture and I I
25:57
can't even sit at my desk for 5 minutes like that.
26:00
Well don't forget when in the clone Wars, and I'm thinking of
26:04
the the Felucia where they go help the little turtle people.
26:08
Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
26:10
And he's sitting at the desk like, like, like, I'm doing it
26:15
and no one can see it. He's got an elbow on the table,
26:19
like he's about to make a business deal, but he's alert
26:23
and listening and discussing and he's just very like, alert and
26:28
ready. Yeah.
26:30
I love how he sits. He doesn't.
26:32
Like relaxed into it. At the same time he has this
26:35
like active, inactive. I don't know how it's 'cause
26:39
he'll like even in the council, he'll like put his arms on the
26:42
armrest and like sit back. Yeah, but he's still very like,
26:45
yeah, I don't know how to. He's such a conundrum, this man.
26:49
I know and I love there's one second that they show in the
26:53
Rayko Hardeen orc when they're doing the intro.
26:56
You know, they're like corruption in the Senate guy.
26:58
He's talking and they show Obi Wan and he's like moping kind of
27:04
he's leaning forward, his elbows are on his knees and he's like,
27:08
like kind of bowed forward because he's just been assigned
27:11
the the assignment of becoming Rico Hardeen.
27:14
And he looks really disappointed, like he doesn't
27:17
want to do it. And it's such a.
27:19
Because he's going to fuck everything up with Anakin.
27:22
He, I think he knows that it's a really dubious assignment where
27:27
he's also going to walk this moral line.
27:28
And you could just, it's just a fraction of a second and it's
27:32
it's not part of a scene we ever get to see like the full scene.
27:37
Yeah, because I'm not remembering this, so I need to
27:39
pay attention to that next. Time yeah, you have to go back
27:41
and watch that and just. I have it frozen as a screenshot
27:45
somewhere. I could probably track it down,
27:47
but I've always thought that was kind of interesting because he
27:49
looks like real sad. He just looks.
27:53
Like, really? Really mopey and gloomy about it
27:55
all. Well, think about getting an an
27:58
assignment you want nothing to do with.
28:01
Yeah, but he got that a lot. Yeah, by this point in all those
28:08
seasons. Yeah.
28:10
He's over it. Yeah, I love that he's really
28:15
good though at unexpected combat, because he's obviously
28:20
very good with the lightsaber, but like the Reiko Hardeen
28:24
thing, he is a really good sniper.
28:29
Yeah, he's going to. Like, shoot that target that
28:32
keeps moving. And then this moment makes me
28:36
laugh. I love it so much.
28:38
And it's so bizarre. But it's after he's been
28:41
captured, they're on like, I think it's now had a, I'm not
28:44
sure. And they're trying to buy a ship
28:47
And CAD Bane sells him out to like, a local drug Lord or
28:54
something. I don't know.
28:55
And they take Rico Harding and he's hanging upside down.
28:59
They've got him hanging and they're like going to torture
29:01
him. And Obi Wan gets out of the
29:03
restraints, grabs a giant post, slams it on the ground and just
29:07
smacks some Kai in the face with it and like, knocks him out
29:13
instantly. And it's so bizarre.
29:16
It's like when a warrior like, smacks their shield or spear on
29:20
the ground. I'm just like, where did he
29:23
learn to do that? I don't know, but I think it's
29:25
kind of cool. I want to be a family on the
29:28
wall, a Jedi Academy. When they teach everyone these
29:31
other forms of combat, I think it's awesome.
29:34
Yeah, what Can you imagine being in that room?
29:36
Oh man. That'd.
29:38
Be cool. Oh.
29:40
Well, and that's the same episode where he gets Anakin in
29:42
a headlock and Drew knocks him out.
29:45
Yeah, yeah, yeah, again. I want to see the hand to hand.
29:48
Where's this coming? From where is this coming from?
29:51
It'd be really funny if Yoda taught it.
29:54
Please a headlock you will give that's.
30:07
That's a new T-shirt. Oh my gosh.
30:17
A. Headlock you won't get right
30:19
next to stab casual. Yeah, STAB, casual.
30:23
