Kenobi

Obi-Wan Kenobi was always an idea looking for a story. After all, the third live-action Star Wars series — all six episodes are now available on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar — had to operate within a confined space. It couldn't do anything drastic or toy with the canon, because its starting and end points were squeezed between already-established Star Wars story. Obi-Wan Kenobi is set 10 years after the climactic duel between the titular Jedi Master (Ewan McGregor) and his side-switching Padawan Anakin Skywalker (Hayden…

Last week’s penultimate episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi was no exception—but in returning to the planet Jabiim for a fateful clash between the Empire and the would-be rebels of the Path, the series drew fascinating parallels to its source.The planet Jabiim we see in…

A new Obi-Wan Kenobi poster for Wednesday’s finale seems to suggest that the titular Jedi Master will face Darth Vader on a familiar plain. It’s a good thing, too, because he’s going to need every advantage he can get his hands on to come out of this alive.

Indeed, according to the content schedule released by Disney Plus Hotstar — the Indian division of the streaming service — Obi-Wan Kenobi is going back to Mustafar for…

Credit: LucasFilm Obi-Wan Kenobi star Ewan McGregor says fans can’t stop sending him horny homoerotic fan art of him and co-star Hayden Christensen, and I… would like to see it. McGregor said in an interview with GQ he has seen a lot of Obi-Wan x Anakin fan art over the years since he and Christensen first appeared in the franchise in 2002’s Attack of the Clones. Sorry Taika Waititi, turns out you and Rhys Darby aren’t the only hotties in Hollywood sword-fighting in horny fan art. “There’s a lot of homoerotic…

via Lucasfilm In Obi-Wan Kenobi, we’re confronted with a broken hero who’d like nothing worse than to remind himself of what he left behind 10 years ago, when he chose the name of Ben and wandered the deserts of Tatooine in search of tranquility. It stands to reason, then, that Lucasfilm’s job in this new narrative was to bring him to face exactly what he’d avoided in that time. Regardless of how you may feel about the new Star Wars show on Disney Plus, or whether you believe it’s managed to stick the landing,…

Impressive. Most impressive.Gif: GizmodoA few months ago Lucasfilm teamed with LG to shift Boba Fett’s throne all the way from Tatooine to Manhattan—virtually at least, for a 3D-effect billboard promoting The Book of Boba Fett in the heart of Times Square. Well, Star Wars is back in NYC, but this time its accompanying character seems much more annoyed to be there.With a new Star Wars show to promote in Obi-Wan Kenobi, occupying the corner billboard is a CG replica of Darth Vader, because why would you want Obi-Wan to…
