Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022) (1 Viewer)

It's not planned now but I'm sure it's a possibility and it seems like the viewer numbers are good so I think there's a good chance that it'll happen.

As for Reva, I wouldn't be surprised if they already use the character again in the upcoming Andor series. Then again, we may never see her again.

According to fan sites Vadar killed her in either episode 5 or 6 originally. They altered it once rumors of a second season came out. Since Andor was filmed awhile ago I doubt she would be in this. This may also explain her miraculous recovery and unclear motives in episode 6.

Wow, if this is true, Disney got a massive hit for a low, low price. Another signal pointing to another season.

Spoiler for those who don’t want to click through: Budget was allegedly $90 million for the series, while Boba Fett was $100m, and shows like Star Trek and the Marvel shows are budgeted at $150m or more.

Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Shockingly Low Production Budget Reportedly Revealed

The Star Wars franchise produced yet another successful show with Obi-Wan Kenobi which aired its action-packed finale yesterday. Fans are still incredibly hyped following the “rematch of the century” between Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker aka Darth Vader and they’re duel alone felt like a scene...

Episode count? Less for the SW series.

Most actors are lesser names in the SW series in general and also signed on cheaper for initial seasons then resigned for Season 3, Season 4 (STD).

The Marvel series are based on characters who were already on the big screen, and possibly in multiple movies.

So far, the SW series have maximized cheap(er) outdoor settings. The Marvels have been located in towns and cities, probably higher shooting costs with stunts, cars, etc. What percentage of Obi-Wan was shot outdoors or in desert or in a cave?

ST has gotten used to bigger budgets and has probably the biggest SFX costs.

Kenobi murdered Darth Maul. Mace Windu murdered Jango Fett.

'yeah, but they were all bad'

New documentary, premiering Sept 8:



I assume this is a feature-length documentary, and not a series (like the Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian Season 1). Either way, looking forward to it.

Let’s hope A Jedi’s Return doesn’t get lost in the shuffle of the Disney+ Day’s numerous releases. It’s very good. But the best thing about it might be the interview footage with Alec Guinness on the set of the original Star Wars. I thought I’d seen everything from those days over the past 45 years, but this was new to me.

It’s worth your time.

Yow. Yanked tweets. I guess rescheduled?

I finally got around to watching this and found the whole documentary to be very engaging - and the moments that had McGregor and Christensen together again I found genuinely moving.

I especially loved that little moment where they’re watching the end of Episode III together and joking about having the high ground.

I loved the original trilogy since I was a kid, but those were movies that were already “over” by the time I first saw them. They were history. Well-worn history that I wore out many a VHS copy revisiting, but a story that seemed over and done with. The prequels were special to me when they came out - Star Wars stories that were new, where no one sitting in the audience with me knew any more about how they might end than I did. I loved the visual ingenuity of them, the layered story structure, the ambition, everything about them, really. It never bothered me that they weren’t universally acclaimed, but it did bother me that a select minority of viewers who disliked them weaponized that dislike into something so ugly and hostile. It made me sad that it became “cool” to hate them and to hate on people who liked them and people who worked on them. So perhaps that’s why I found it so tremendously moving to see the returning prequel cast members so embraced and celebrated at the convention appearances shown at the end of the documentary. No one deserves death threats and harassment for appearing in a perfectly harmless fantasy film, and I was glad to see that performers like McGregor and Christensen have had the opportunity in more recent years to hear from people like me who loved their work. Their work on those films and this show was deeply meaningful to me and many others like me and I’m glad they know that.

Darth Vader’s Voice Emanated From War-Torn Ukraine

As the conflict raged, Ukrainian tech workers at Respeecher hurried to bring back James Earl Jones’s legendary voice for Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Fascinating article and well worth a read

What I liked about the Vader voice in this show is that it very much sounded like Jones, but with some of the cadences of Christensen’s own voice. These artists did a tremendous job giving us a Vader that sounded like where the character was - halfway between Anakin’s final days in Episode III and A New Hope’s Vader.

Glad to see the show being recognized. BTW, Ming-Na Wen also won for Best Actress in a Streaming Series for The Book of Boba Fett.

They all work fine for me -- It may be a cookie issue at your end. It may be that you have an extension that is blocking them (such as Adblock Plus, NoScript, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin, etc).

Subscription to Twitter can’t be it. I do not subscribe and embedded tweets show as expected for me.

Could it have something to do with you being in Canada? If you have a VPN, maybe connect to a U.S. server and try again to see if the problem persists.
