Storyline:

Please note, the following details the plot of the first two episodes of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, available on Disney+. If you have not yet seen them, and do not wish to know anything about their content, then it is strongly recommended that you stop reading this article now. After seventeen years of waiting, Obi-Wan Kenobi is making his comeback in the Star Wars universe. The Jedi Knight embodied by Ewan McGregor, his interpreter in the prelogy, is indeed the hero of a brand new Disney+ series, the first two episodes of which are now available on the SVOD platform!

Set between the action of Episode III and Episode IV, this narrative bridge between the two original trilogies sees Kenobi living a hermit’s life on Tatooine, playing the role of secret guardian to Luke Skywalker, the son of his former padawan Anakin. Relentlessly hunted by Inquisitors, the Jedi will nevertheless have to face his past, when an old friend contacts him to ask for help… Among the first surprises of the series, the presence in a role of great importance of the ten-year-old Princess Leia Organa. Already mischievous and stubborn, the future leader of the rebellion is captured by order of the Third Sister, in order to lay a trap for Kenobi. This rescue operation, which prefigures that of Episode IV, marks the starting point of the story, and will notably allow the Jedi to learn that his former padawan is not dead, but now responds to the name of Darth Vader… Eagerly awaited by many fans, has the series kept all its promises? What did internet users think of Ewan McGregor’s big comeback as Obi-Wan Kenobi? Here is an anthology of reactions posted on social networks!

And Jon Favreau took the opportunity to confirm that the filming of the “Ahsoka” series had just started with actress Rosario Dawson, who already played the character of Ahsoka Tano in the series “The Mandalorian” – as had already been mentioned recently a lengthy Vanity Fair dossier on Star Wars television ambitions. Waiting for a series on Darth Vader? Asked by Ouest France this Friday, May 27, Hayden Christensen said he was ready to continue donning the costume of the iconic Sith Lord. “There are still a lot of things to tell about him (…) He is a character I care about so much. It resonates so much in our culture, in different ways. In Obi-Wan Kenobi, we discover other nuances of the character. If the opportunity were given to me to do a series on Darth Vader, I would be delighted”. While Disney plans to release three Star Wars feature films in the next few years, to be directed by Taika Waititi, Rian Johnson and Patty Jenkins, none were mentioned at the convention on Thursday. Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy told Variety magazine that there would be “plenty of opportunities” to pitch upcoming films later.

The diehards of the Star Wars universe will also have recognized a narrative arc visible in certain video games derived from the saga, and more precisely the last of them, Fallen Order. This one is located, just like Obi-Wan Kenobi, between episode III and IV, and features a padawan pursued by two Inquisitors. The idea of ​​integrating the video game world into the Star Wars multiverse is an inevitable outcome, and rich in prospects, as the profits generated by video games have long since exceeded those of the 7th art industry. In the end, what remains of this inaugural episode of a mini-series which will have six? If we pass on the somewhat grotesque kidnapping of Leia, which will obviously constitute the dramatic mainspring of the series, Obi-Wan Kenobi has some seductive tricks up his sleeve. First of all, while The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett openly made the choice of the general public (remember the irresistible Grogu, a mini-Yoda who made the fortune of stuffed animal merchants), the series challenges by the irruption of a rather crude violence, which tests Obi-Wan’s completely stoic ability to remain in the shadows and not to intervene. From this point of view, the continuity with Episode III (Revenge of the Sith) and its post-9/11 depressive tone is fairly well assured. And, what is undoubtedly even more intriguing, we are surprised to find in the languid rhythm of this episode, during which we are sometimes bored, something of episode IV and its slowness, which is now anachronistic. We like to let our imagination wander in the limbo of diffuse memories, and to thank the creators for sparing us a deluge of superfluous special effects. Obi-Wan also seems somewhat upset to see himself released from his quiet pre-retirement as an old bachelor. A bit like us, he probably asks to see if it’s really worth it.
