One of the most curious aspects of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series is the lack of familiar musical themes and cues, given that the story is all about instantly familiar Star Wars characters. It's made even more curious by the fact that the show and its marketing leaned in heavily to the nostalgia of the prequel [...]
In Obi-Wan Kenobi Part 5 we got several answers to some key questions that had been raised earlier in the series, and I think it also provides a chance for us to discuss how Star Wars fans have responded so far to the show - and what we can learn from it. Namely, that I [...]
The six-episode Obi-Wan Kenobi series will wrap up next Wednesday, June 22, on Disney+ with the finale, but it looks like a select few fans will be able to see it that day on the big screen as well. On the Cineplex website, there's a new listing for "Obi-Wan Kenobi - Entire Season and Q&A" [...]
On the same day that Obi-Wan Kenobi Part 4 released (which is surely just coincidental timing...), Star Wars released a fun short video of Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen reflecting on their time being involved in the saga. They talked about moments from the prequel trilogy, as well as what it was like to return [...]
The penultimate episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi was released today, and there was very little promotion of the episode in the week leading up to it by Star Wars. The reason why is evident: there's very little about it that wouldn't be 'spoilery.' So if you haven't watched it yet, don't read any further, as this [...]
In the latest episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi, as Ben infiltrates the Fortress Inquisitorious to rescue Leia Organa, he stumbles upon a horrific discovery: a tomb of Jedi.

In Obi-Wan Kenobi Part 4, as members of The Path talk with Kenobi about the Fortress Inquisitorious on Nur and ways to infiltrate it, Sully mentions that, "The truth is, nobody knows what it looks like in there." But that's actually not true. The statement suggests that Cal Kestis is not known by this particular [...]
In Obi-Wan Kenobi Part 4, it is said that no one knows what secrets the Empire is hiding in the Fortress Inquisitorious on Nur, in the Mustafar system. But as Kenobi and Tala infiltrate the base, Obi-Wan stumbles upon the secrets that are hidden there: a large room filled with tons of bodies of presumably [...]
In the wake of his devastating defeat at the hands of Darth Vader and the re-capture of Leia Organa, we find Obi-Wan Kenobi at his lowest point at the beginning of Part 4 of this six-episode story. How will he respond? That's what this episode is about, and it's another tremendous chapter in a really [...]
In Obi-Wan Kenobi Part 3, amidst the tension building with the threat of Darth Vader looming, Kenobi and Leia share some truly touching and tender moments together. In one of them, as they ride the cargo transport to Mapuzo, Leia asks if he can make it go any faster. When he responds that he can't, [...]
