More information on Kenobi from MSW (fourth post in the last days):
*The first episodes are about Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa and the Inquisitors.
*Darth Vader appears in episodes 3, 4, 5, and 6. Vader’s role is major.
*Darth Vader is flipping and kicking, like Rouge One Vader but angrier. He's out for blood
*Tom O’Connell plays a Zabrak Jedi, like Darth Maul but without the face tattoos, like Eeth Koth. It isn’t clear if he’s a surviving Jedi or it's flashbacks.
*There are new and unknown Jedi in this series
*Tom O’Connell also does stunts for Vader, playing a Mandalorian in Mando s3, and does stunts for Mandalorians.
MSW: Kenobi filmed in cave sets. Kenobi appears to have to hunt for food and sleep on a cave floor. Seems that he struggles with PTSD and the harsh life of the desert. Seems that after Kenobi dropped Luke he is on his own and Bail Organa doesn't send him money. In 10 years Kenobi lives in caves and watches over Luke Skywalker.
I love Ewan McGregor's Sir Alec Guinness impression, and it might be fun to see what Hayden Christensen can do with a script that isn't pure shit. [Reply]
Granted, I don't read the books/comic books/whatever, but I just have a really hard time believing they can fill this show with enough content without making it just seem ridiculous.
Kenobi basically spent 18 years hiding in the fucking desert on a sparsely populated planet at the ass end of the galaxy. His sole purpose in life is to safeguard Luke. This means he can't leave the general area where Luke lives, or do much of anything to draw attention to himself; otherwise he'll risk get discovered by the empire. And since it's established canon that he wasn't, well.... outside of aging into Alec Guinness, it just seems like there's not much for him to do. Anybody who sees him wield the lightsaber will either have to be whacked or sworn to secrecy. If he's constantly ducking bounty hunters or wandering around helping people like a one man A-Team, that would just be dumb. [Reply]
