In picrel (only true canon) the commandos can go EVA and withstand direct hits from thermal detonators so I'd hope Vader's personal legion could do the same.
I remember when people were giving a mental health argument for the exact opposite thing in Rogue One >Vader lives in a giant castle on Mustafar >"IT'S JUST SHOWING HOW HE'S STUCK RELIVING THAT MOMENT FOREVER"
He can't but as seen in the new Battlefront games he can use the force to jump high, guide himself and descend slowly which he could've used to cross. This ability would make sense for "prime Vader" like they kept saying and is more believable than those stupid inquisitor lightsabers. Or he could use the force to blow out the flames or depower them or something. For all this talk about the power of the force it's pretty useless.
The fact that Obi-Wan has people working with him implies that there's a wider network, quite possibly an underground Jedi cell even. Tracing that would be worth even more than Kenobi himself.
there's nothing worth more than Kenobi to Vader. he's the actual jedi that beat him back on mustafar. Stop trying to convince yourself that this is a good show.
Stop trying to convince yourself it's a bad show, then. Fucking hell, I don't even know why I come here, you people have no ability to actually think things through.
He let obi wan go because he realized there’s a reason obi wan came out of hiding. Are y’all that fucking dense? Clean your rooms and bathe oh my fuck.
lmao are you suggesting that darth vader instead of killing Obi Wan and go alone to discover whatever the fuck he was doing decided to let him live and just forget about it?
>he let obi-wan go so he can track him and find out what he’s coming out of hiding for >proceeds to leave him alone for the next 20 years and seemingly forget he ever encountered obi-wan since their duel on korriban.
>REEEEEE ANYONE WHO DISAGREES WIF ME IS STOOPID!!!!
Look, dumbass. Vader's a fucking SITH. He has no higher allegience than his own ambition, and uses the Empire to further his OWN ambition (Join me and together we'll rule the galaxy as father and son!).
You are SO stupid that you think Vader, who is a Dark Side Sith (HATE makes you powerful!) is going to simply let Kenobi (who he HATES more than anyone in the galaxy at this point) walk away over fucking POLITICS?!?!? And you want to insult everyone here for not agreeing with your retard take? GTFO.
Based, but I honestly took it had a moment of inner conflict. Conflicted at facing his hated enemy at last and finding him to be not the top tier Jedi Master who kicked his ass, but weak and beaten down as fuck... Conflicted at seeing his old Master and hating himself because with, deep down, he feels their old bond. Deciding between ending it right now or enjoying the hunt and suffering of Kenobi a little longer...
That's what I took from the micro-movements during the long close shot over the fire. But again, I'm an autist and Chow doesn't seem that competent.
>That's what I took from the micro-movements during the long close shot over the fire. But again, I'm an autist and Chow doesn't seem that competent.
It's because Vader is the mask, not a human face, so it allows you to project what you want, which makes him the best actor in the show. If Vader had a different design that showed his face, you can bet anything the idiot director would have told Hayden to look really angry because Obi Wan just got away.

The worst thing about this is the lightsabers. The colors are fucking awful and have been changed to fit the Disney + Star Wars intro. Obi's color looks so fucking bad.
the empire is still hunting jedi and they just found one of the most important jedi to ever exist. you dont think vader would suspect he's part of something larger going on.
i never said anything about leia. the point is, if an enemy fucking general in behind your lines, he is definitely up to SOMETHING. i was focused on kenobi though not leia. as for reva, she 'doesnt' know that. thats why bait is fucking bait. you lay it out and hopefully whatever it is you're trying to entice takes it. she saw that kenobi and bail organa worked together a lot during the clone wars and had reason to believe kenobi would be interested in the wellbeing of an old friends child and come out of hiding since he was never confirmed as killed.
we dont know vaders full intentions at this point. he probably absolutely wants kenobi to see his current state. are you telling me if your good friend chopped your arms and legs off with a more elegant weapon from a more civilized era and left your to burn to death leaving you with a need for life support for half your free time you would just kill him off like the rest of the canon fodder you rekt or would you want to drag it out long and slow?
hardcore star wars fans are about as insane as hardcore sonic fans. They'll excuse every single flaw because of mindless devotion, therefore, they're no better than Relifious Fundamentalists. They have lost the ability to think for themselves.
>So... you have a twin sister? Obi-Wan was wise to hide her from me, now that I think about it, that actually explains all the stuff he was doing ten years ago when we last met
Can't wait for RotJ Extra Special Edition!
She reasons that since Obi-Wan was friends with Bail Organa, she'll pay one of the Red Hot Chili Peppers to kidnap the Bail's daughter and Bail will ask Obi-Wan for help. Which is then what happens.
I watched Clone Wars and they have as much history as Obi-Wan had with the other Senators. Obvious forced plot device.
Besides that, why does Vader and the Inquisitors ignore the Organa's afterwards when it's obvious they're connected to Obi-Wan now since Obi-Wan actually went to rescue their adopted daughter?
Anon, I want to like this show too, but when things are dumb they're fucking dumb. Vader is clearly focused on only one thing, his revenge fantasy, not any geopolitical nonsense.
He directs a stormtrooper to retrieve Obi-Wan. He intended to capture Obi-Wan. Even if the woman that helps Obi-Wan piques Vader's interest, why not just capture her too? He didn't even try.
Blast it!!! If only I had heavy leather boots and thick clothing on!!! Not to mention if all my extremities, you know the only parts of me in danger of being minorly singed, weren't robotic and in no danger at all!!!
>that one scene where the stormtroopers and the milf officer came with the transport >they all get out real slow >obi couldn't have just shoot them easily like he did the previous stormtroopers >instantly kneel and give up
And the side plot of Reva needing something to do so she tracks down Leia, even though she was only using Leia to get to Obi-Wan was totally brainless and predictable.
>Luke, did I ever tell you about the time Lord Vader, or Darth as I call him, and I reunited 10 years after you were born? It was back when he was almost not a learner but also not yet a master. When he caught up with me after I skillfully evaded him 3 times in a row, he dragged my decrepit body over inflamed combustible crystals to give me a taste of of my own medicine. You see, back when we were even gooder friend than we are now, I dismembered him and left him to burn alive in an act of gracious Jedi mercy, and he wanted to pay back. Luckily my Jedi robes did not instantly combust like his did back in the days (I had learned from the experience and prepared for this exact scenario by regularly dowsing them with eopie’s urine, look it up, it’s on wookiepedia). Despite suffering third degree burns to my torso, my hands and face were spared despite being millimeters away from the flaming combustible. Otherwise you would be looking at the same disfigured face I gave good old Darth. However my sacrifice was not in vain, as your sister that I had just rescued managed to escape for 3 minutes before being caught again. (She would soon forget my existence and only refer to me as her father’s friend that she never met) Luckily a good friend I had just met and already forgotten about saved me by shooting one random stormtrooper out of dozens. Despite many ways get to me and his long awaited opportunity for revenge, Darth just stood there and let me go. It was all in good fun after all, there was no need to take it further. I would soon meet him again in a later episode of Kenobi of Disney + (he was still almost not a learner but not quite yet a master). >You know Luke, despite having experienced your Fathe… I mean Darth’s cruelty first hand, both by the torture he inflicted on me and by witnessing his killing of children, I would still grant him my full forgiveness and eternal life if the chance presented itself. Why you ask? Because he was a good friend.
>I would still grant him my full forgiveness and eternal life if the chance presented itself.
But Ben told Luke that Vader was twisted and evil, more machine now than man. Redeeming Vader was all Luke.
>Filmed at some random quarry near the studio >Reva somehow running through the tunnel past Leia and the other woman without them noticing >All of the other "Obi-wan is too rusty to do anything" shit
God this series is a fucking mess.
They advertised the lightsbaber fights as being more like the prequels but this one was as shaky and choppy as the sequels. The order 66 scene wasn't bad, hopefully things get better.
Also kinda miss the little trails lightsabers had on them when you moved them around, they're way less prominent here and make things look less fluid.
This was fucking retarded, here Disney let me help you >nameless chick calls in help >tin bucket fighter lays down a row off fire blasting the tanks making a much bigger explosion vader off his feet surprised killing the troopers and blasting Vader’s helmet off >nameless chick on a speeder bike zooms in sweeps up the kenobi >vader getting on his feet close up of yellow eyes as the speeder in the distance >nameless inquisitor comes behind and starts choking *crunch* >SCENE

Most inept fucking studio of all time
He was experiencing an Anakin-level meltdown inside because of emotions, or like this anon said: inner conflict. How hard do they have to telegraph it to you retards than don't understand several five second shots of freezing doubting Vader, you gays?
But that's stupid. >I am most disturbed by this fire. Let me return to my castle on Mustafar.
*lives here*
It's plain lazy writing, they needed a way for him to get away from an OP villain without any significant cost to the character or the story, beyond Obi Wan getting a booboo.
see even the faceblind autist got it by the shots and music cue
Based, but I honestly took it had a moment of inner conflict.

That's what I took from the micro-movements during the long close shot over the fire. But again, I'm an autist and Chow doesn't seem that competent.
Except I understood the cues and just thought it was stupid. I understand that a strawman is easier to argue against and doesn't hurt your feelings though, and as a Star Wars fan in 2022 you are either a woman or an extremely effeminate man so I can't really blame you.
I find it perfectly in character for the Anakin "You're asking me to be rational. I know that is something I cannot do" fucking Skywalker. Unless you're one of those "but badass Vadar is from the cashgrab comics and videgames would've just force crush everyone", it's in line for his character arc from the movies. Dreaming obsessively of that moment of revenge for 10 years, then freezing because something isn't working how he fantasized, mainly seeing his feared and hated master/brother in such a state.

Hey, I agree the show looks cheap as fuck and that Chow is clearly out of her depth (even with the low-budget values the worst thing about the thing might be the directing), but centering the discussion about the scene on the logistics of avoiding the fire is subhuman-tier.
>most likely need to wait until episode 5 for the next fight >Obi Wan is going to have a training montage in episode 4 >qui gon is going to tell obi to get up and fight when he gets knocked down
What's truly awful is Ahsoka trains after the Clone Wars and manages to fight Vader to a standstill while Obi-Wan does absolutely nothing to practice the force or his lightsaber skills in his cave that whole time in order to protect Luke if the time came. Yoda would be force calling him to get the fuck back into shape. Complete fuckup from Filoni and Disney in this portrayal of the character.
How can a show be this bad? Even a shitty profit driven megacorp like Disney couldn't produce a show this bad by default, the production crew would have to be actively and deliberately making decisions they know to result in a bad show.
THAT'S why. His new wife is in the show, his daughter is in the show; the problem with Obi-Wan is Obi-Wan himself.
He is making himself a Space Jesus show in which Obi-Wan will have no real character development and will instead be an insufferable Mary-Sue by the end as actors with egos cannot add to the creative process in a way that fairly disconnects themselves from the perceived character and their flaws.
The show is being tailored around him and his newfound internet, "Hello there" meme crowd so it's catering towards those who don't care about lore or anything like that.
This show is bad. The actors, including Ewan, are all pretty bad and wooden. The cinematography has no room to breathe before being violently shook all over the place. Dialogue is REALLY bad and the set designs look cheap.
This is a vanity project disguised as a character from one of the most popular franchises of all time. It's crammed full of diverse artists without stopping to realize that if someone's only quality is being diverse, they are doing them a disservice by allowing them to make bad content as it then closes any sort of discussion about their work being sub par or worse since it gets lumped into the overall "racism" crap that simply isn't the case.
This scene does make me wonder if he knows the has son that Ben is hiding somewhere. If he wanted him dead he would have just killed him there but he clearly wanted him alive and brought back to the base probably for interrogation purposes. We know that he doesn't know about Leia because he doesn't find out until the end of episode 8 but he could have already known about Luke.
Its more fun for Vader this way, he doesn't want his torment of Obi Wan to end so soon. He wants to hunt him like a dog. Burn him, make him watch civilians die, let him go to suffer in horrible pain and guilt for awhile then catch him and torment him again.
How hard is that to understand?
He was going to imprison him and torture him but then when he was getting rescued Vader decided it would be better this way. Now that they are hot on his trail he can't get away for long.
This will also lead to Vader learning his children are alive and set his eventual change back to the light side in motion.

And learning his children are alive will be the thing that starts strengthening the good in him. Without that hope he would have kept spiraling deeper into the dark side.
Only good part of the episode and it never paid off. The obvious thing to do would be for Obi-Wan and Vader to fight, but Obi-Wan starts hallucinating that's it's Anakin, that way we get a proper fight between the two.
I'm not terribly into the show or anything, but it's obvious that the scene with the fire was a moment of emotional conflict in Vader. He's spent ten years of his life waiting for this moment and, not only is it completely anti-climactic and unsatisfying for him, he gets a taste of seeing someone he still loves deep down (because we know "there's still good in him") suffer like he did. There's too much apocrypha now for Vader to be portrayed as a badass emotionless robot in everything: he's an understandably incredibly traumatized person.
That was the first film and it was retconned in it's literal direct sequel. Everything that happens in Star Wars '77 needs to be read through a lens of retcons now if you give a shit about the franchise. Some do, some don't, but in discussing the new Disney shit shows we can't really point to '77 for all that much in terms of character motivation. Also, even back then that was just poor choreography. Very poor. Alec Guinness' gay little spin.
thanks, atleast we dont lack imagination and thought like you
also the scene would be way better if Vader sprinter over and carried Obi-Wan by his neck to the dungeon
>Ten years being stuck in a low quality suit >Ten years of blaming himself for killing his wife >Ten years of not being able to sleep >Ten years of pure rage built up. Tracking down Obi Wan >Forced to go back to the planet where not only he was a slave but where his mother also died
I'm just going to drag your old ass on this small fire >He's just a damaged tortured soul
>he thinks the fight happened on tatooine
Good job not being able to follow the plot at all. You don't have a right to complain if you don't understand the most basic shit that happened.
That is so valid. One time I was called a gay for playing with my boyfriend's penis at a bar and it still traumatizes me to this day so I understand what Vader was going through.
His suit is fucking fireproof.
He bathes in Mustafar lava in one of the canon and approved comics. In the spot where he burned.
But who the fuck knows about that in the Obi Wan writing room? He's a dude in a black suit and shiet.
Filoni was in charge of the canon for awhile though it seems someone probably hackleen kennedy is trying to wrest control from him. Probably because he was salvaging star wars and she can't have that.
It's a Sith Lord title designated to an apprentice under a master of the Sith tradition. It's derived from "Dark Lord" and comes from the old Sith language. That's all it is.
Pretty sure it's just his first name. Obi-wan says he's "only master of evil, Darth". Just like Count Dooku, it's not a title, he doesn't have another first name, his first name is Count.
>Darth Vader COULD just walk through the fire but he DIDN'T because he was CONFLICTED >Why? He just was OKAY?? >But he also really wants to kill Obi Wan >But he also is conflicted about something >But he also isn't >Look just be excited to see Darth Vader swing a lightsaber around
Vader obviously could have walked through the fire if he wanted. The fact that he didn't implies he let obi wan get away.
Its up to you if you think its because he doesn't really want to kill obi wan because of le inner good, or if its because he wanted obi wan to suffer more, of it its because he wanted obi wan to lead him to the rebels.
Have you people ever interacted with a human being in your lives? Yes, when you get betrayed by someone you love, you don't just stop loving them like an on/off switch, and especially after seeing them again for the first time in years a lot of those emotions come flooding back, and when mixed with pent-up rage, it's not odd to just freeze in response. We can talk about how shitty and flat the entire sequence looked or how stupidly it was choreographed, but it makes 100% complete sense that Vader would hesitate to kill Obi-Wan after meeting him for the first time. Vader hasn't been le heckin badass robot man since he asked his son to kiss him in Return of the Jedi.
Or maybe the show is just bad. Maybe he got away the same way the jedi got away in the first episode. or how obiwan got away at the end of the second episode. Or how a small child outran adults multiple times. If Vader was going to do a "just as planned" and let them escape to track them, the script wouldn't have had to have Leia get captured again.
I'm sick with covid and I genuinely wish I died before today, living long enough to see that fanfiction low budget dogshit episode was just horrible. One of the worst bits of Star Wars content ever made.
>why didn't Vader use the force to extinguish the fire like he did moments before? >why didn't Vader crush the droid he could clearly see rescuing Obi-Wan? >why didn't Vader use the force to drag Obi-Wan towards himself? >why didn't Vader or any of the stormtroopers go AROUND the fucking fire? >how did the lady who rescued Obi-Wan even get away safely after she revealed her position by firing and was extremely close to Vader?

It's like they want this show to feel like fanfiction even more than it already does, don't they ?
How the fuck can you set up Vader and forego his fucking iconic theme ? This has to be some kind of huge elaborate joke, it has to be.
>Oh no! They boarded a slow moving freighter on a set course, vulnerable to near everything that can fly.
>Curse you Obi-Wan, I'll catch you another time!
Aren't their armors made to widstand agresive enviroment? like scortching or freezing temperatures with their own life support, etc?
They could just walk around
this would never work
>They could just walk around
The set is only 20' wide.
It looks like you could run across this little flame in your regular clothes and be fine, other than having slightly fcked up shoes.
Flame Troopers would have fire‐resistant armor but I don't think regular troops do.
In episode IV the armor is only good at stopping near misses. Direct shots still kill them. On the other hand the rebel troopers die to everything
No direct shots are spread out among the armor and knock them out like getting hit by a car.
They literally can't withstand a stick or a rock lmao
Shut the fuck up, racist. We resist.
In picrel (only true canon) the commandos can go EVA and withstand direct hits from thermal detonators so I'd hope Vader's personal legion could do the same.
But weren’t they some ultra special superpowered clones or something?
there was only like a million of clones
empire had to finance 100x more
>truly you are still the master obi wan, maybe next time things will be different
he has a severe trauma to fire now. and obiwan might have the high ground on the other side.
Why doesn't obiwan walk on stilettos then?
That's not what high ground means, you would still be standing on equal ground but with clumsy shoes.
Because they are good friends.
>"Now get out of here before I use my lighter. Oh yes, I know how afraid you are of even the smallest of flame, you freak of nature."

Why does Vader living a Mordor fortress?
A good story... for another time.
Unironically, the reason Disney came up with is that Palpatine makes him live on Mustafar as a joke because it is the sight of his greatest and loss.
No Vader picked it himself, Sheev let him pick any one planet as his personal domain
He lives on the planet where he almost died to channel hatred, classic sith moron move.
to have the highground
thats where he was "born"
>loses to high ground
>builds the tallest building on the planet so he always has the high ground
smart
The difference is Obi Wan was there.
This series is about two war veterans suffering periodic episodes of PTSD
At what point does it stop being super deep internal character struggles and start being excuses for shitty writing built on more shitty writing?
That is so valid. I love exploring trauma. I'm spraying my period blood all over. I love it.
what do they eat
>Farm Boy AHAHA!!!
>Tatooine!!!
I assume he moves here after as a way to confront his fear
This bro suit is fireproof the fuck you talking about?
He lives on mustafar and has a suit that protects against heat
>muh EVERYTHING is ptsd
I agree with the notion that lots of people have unresolved trauma. But, hamfisting it into media is just bad writing.
I remember when people were giving a mental health argument for the exact opposite thing in Rogue One

so he's The Hound now. wonderful.
Vader is scared of fire 🙁
This is some “Jason is scared of water all a sudden shit.”
Why did the fucker light one then? Idiocy, hack writers.
He hates sand. But also fire!
Seems like he was more interested in torturing obi wan rather than killing him.
i thought Darth Vader could fly
I thought vader could make things fly
He can't but as seen in the new Battlefront games he can use the force to jump high, guide himself and descend slowly which he could've used to cross. This ability would make sense for "prime Vader" like they kept saying and is more believable than those stupid inquisitor lightsabers. Or he could use the force to blow out the flames or depower them or something. For all this talk about the power of the force it's pretty useless.
he fly now?
>uses the force to grab obi wan across the fire
>doesn't use it again when obi wan is escaping
lmao these writers
He only can use the force twice per encounter. He doesn't get his next per encounter use till 5th level, and this if he doesn't multiclass.
He lost most of his spells and abilities when he broke his Jedi Oath, and he is now negotiating with the GM to be an Oathbreaker.
He needs to level up to get a new set of skill purchase rights
damn this modern video game design
he's still a learner

there's nothing worth more than Kenobi to Vader. he's the actual jedi that beat him back on mustafar. Stop trying to convince yourself that this is a good show.
Stop trying to convince yourself it's a bad show, then. Fucking hell, I don't even know why I come here, you people have no ability to actually think things through.
You know I am right, nothing is worth more to Vader than finding Kenobi.
"Oh, Kenobi has help. Who else are they helping?" Vader just whupped his ass easily. Maybe he was disappointed.
You’d think the angriest man in the galaxy might be a bit more hungry for revenge but I guess not hug
>there’s a larger picture going on
There's no sw movie on the horizon till at least 5 years from now the fuck are you talking about?

Imagine being so fucking stupid to think i was meaning a movie.
I bet y’all bombed your critical thinking exams in school.
And what would that be retard, i swear we should have never let blacks like you learn to read or write
What bigger picture would that be? Obi Wan is the man who nearly killed him and took most of his limbs.
He had a headache
lmao this is the most retarded post on this whole website at the moment.
Listen you dumb morons I’ll explain.
He let obi wan go because he realized there’s a reason obi wan came out of hiding. Are y’all that fucking dense? Clean your rooms and bathe oh my fuck.
So why does he forget about that by ep4?
if you say y'all again I'm going to have a word with your dad and get you kicked out of the house
lmao are you suggesting that darth vader instead of killing Obi Wan and go alone to discover whatever the fuck he was doing decided to let him live and just forget about it?
No gay. You are the type to kill your only lead on something.
Capturing obi wan=torture then death. Obi wan would die before giving up info on other Jedi, Luke and leia.
He let him go so they can find out where obi wan runs to, lead to other Jedi and why obi wan came out of hiding.
There’s a reason fbi leave up certain sites, to track and build up cases to catch the real gays.
Y’all need to read a book.
>capture obiwan
>read his mind
Obi wan ain’t some low level chump like Poe dameron and that Indian on daiyu
Reva read ObiWan's mind in episode 2 without touching him
No, she sensed his fear.

You are SO stupid that you think Vader, who is a Dark Side Sith (HATE makes you powerful!) is going to simply let Kenobi (who he HATES more than anyone in the galaxy at this point) walk away over fucking POLITICS?!?!?

>That's what I took from the micro-movements during the long close shot over the fire. But again, I'm an autist and Chow doesn't seem that competent.
It's because Vader is the mask, not a human face, so it allows you to project what you want, which makes him the best actor in the show. If Vader had a different design that showed his face, you can bet anything the idiot director would have told Hayden to look really angry because Obi Wan just got away.
Sad but true

applies to palpy and NOT vader. vader literally has a higher allegiance to the fucking emperor and the emperor literally puts limits on what he can and cant do.
>applies to palpy and NOT vader.
You insipid retard, I literally fucking quoted the scene where Vader tries to lure Luke into helping him OVERTHROW the fucking Emperor. Go back to eating your Tide pods you retard.
Yeah, lapdogs always throw their masters into Death Star chasms. Fucking gay retard.
>split second decision out of opportunism that wasnt even of his making somehow negates being a lapdog for more than twenty fucking years
yeah bro he was totally in control along

Here's your (you). Obi Wan IS Vader's bigger picture.
I quite literally don’t know what that bigger picture is at this point. The vision of Star Wars is fucking dead.
Vader is out here playing 5D Holochess
It's over Anakin, I have the high ground
Any chance George can buy back Star Wars?
What ps2 game is this?
God the rear projection screen looks like shit
That scene was shot outdoors.
That is a horrible set, and this perspective makes it look like a videogame.
enjoy your female ruled industry, it won't last much longer
Wow epic location...
Wow. More generic, abandoned Star Wars desert locales. Super sick, love it.
i think i've seen those props in like 20 different SW episodes
it's all shot in front of a giant LED screen so now there's even less going on than in front of a green screen
What the fuck is that lighting
>have obi-wan and darth vader duel
>have them do it in a dark ass gravel pit
I hate disney
The worst thing about this is the lightsabers. The colors are fucking awful and have been changed to fit the Disney + Star Wars intro. Obi's color looks so fucking bad.
The ideal location for their rematch, a perfectly flat surface
Why is it so fucking DARK?
is this from a broadway show
I don't like fire, it's hot, bright and melts everything.
it's the most stupid thing i have ever read.
What ongoing conflict is going on in Kenobi?
the empire is still hunting jedi and they just found one of the most important jedi to ever exist. you dont think vader would suspect he's part of something larger going on.
i never said anything about leia. the point is, if an enemy fucking general in behind your lines, he is definitely up to SOMETHING. i was focused on kenobi though not leia. as for reva, she 'doesnt' know that. thats why bait is fucking bait. you lay it out and hopefully whatever it is you're trying to entice takes it. she saw that kenobi and bail organa worked together a lot during the clone wars and had reason to believe kenobi would be interested in the wellbeing of an old friends child and come out of hiding since he was never confirmed as killed.
we dont know vaders full intentions at this point. he probably absolutely wants kenobi to see his current state. are you telling me if your good friend chopped your arms and legs off with a more elegant weapon from a more civilized era and left your to burn to death leaving you with a need for life support for half your free time you would just kill him off like the rest of the canon fodder you rekt or would you want to drag it out long and slow?
i agree and i address that in the post above
that cope lmao. I'm sorry you are trying this hard to convince yourself
no i just hate retards. the show isnt bad but not that great either. i happened to like this episode though.
>i just hate retards
lmao
>i happened to like this episode though
lol, lmao even.
bro whos life are you lmaoing at? you gotten strung along long enough to watch every star shit media to come out up to this point too.
Mandalorian was good, so yes I have been strung along. This show is not good, and episode 3 has left me entirely disinterested.
hardcore star wars fans are about as insane as hardcore sonic fans. They'll excuse every single flaw because of mindless devotion, therefore, they're no better than Relifious Fundamentalists. They have lost the ability to think for themselves.
You must be 18 to post here.
>inb4 blueboard stfu
Star Wars fans are just like fundamentalists who wave away Bible contradictions and gleefully await the Rapture that will never come.
Lads I'm really starting to not like these journalist fellows
Tell me, how does Reva know that kidnapping Leia will get Kenobi out of hiding. Does Vader know about Leia? he doesn't seem to in 4-5-6.
>So... you have a twin sister? Obi-Wan was wise to hide her from me, now that I think about it, that actually explains all the stuff he was doing ten years ago when we last met
Can't wait for RotJ Extra Special Edition!
this is such poor writing it'S terrible. it's fan fiction level.
So it's better than what we'll end up with, then?
She reasons that since Obi-Wan was friends with Bail Organa, she'll pay one of the Red Hot Chili Peppers to kidnap the Bail's daughter and Bail will ask Obi-Wan for help. Which is then what happens.
Don't worry. It will all be explained in a "Did you know?" Lucasfilm twitter post in a few months.
>how does Reva know that kidnapping Leia will get Kenobi out of hiding.
Because Kenobi and Organa have a history, she read about it in the archives.
I watched Clone Wars and they have as much history as Obi-Wan had with the other Senators. Obvious forced plot device.
Besides that, why does Vader and the Inquisitors ignore the Organa's afterwards when it's obvious they're connected to Obi-Wan now since Obi-Wan actually went to rescue their adopted daughter?
>ahh admiral Hirohito what a pleasure *crosses swords and pushes him back*
>No! Let him go
Anon, I want to like this show too, but when things are dumb they're fucking dumb. Vader is clearly focused on only one thing, his revenge fantasy, not any geopolitical nonsense.
He directs a stormtrooper to retrieve Obi-Wan. He intended to capture Obi-Wan. Even if the woman that helps Obi-Wan piques Vader's interest, why not just capture her too? He didn't even try.
>who should i focus on capturing, a disabled general or a literal who, whos armed and also has the high ground?
gee tough choice
You're genuinely retarded.
God if I could capture her and rape her senseless I would
Blast it!!! If only I had heavy leather boots and thick clothing on!!! Not to mention if all my extremities, you know the only parts of me in danger of being minorly singed, weren't robotic and in no danger at all!!!
You win this round Obi-Wan!!!
>that one scene where the stormtroopers and the milf officer came with the transport
>they all get out real slow
>obi couldn't have just shoot them easily like he did the previous stormtroopers
>instantly kneel and give up
I really don't get it
It was in the script
lazy writing.
That was so retarded
>"when I left you I was but a learner, now I am the master"
so despite what happened today, vader's gonna get owned in the finale isn't he
Yep
This shot was kino
Shame Sloppy Chow kept messing the 180º rule all throughout the scene.
this shot makes me realize more than ever that lightsabers are just giant glowsticks
why am i not allowed to see anything in modern film and television?
because then you would see how low their budget is
Wow this looks like a real landscape and definitely not a small circular soundstage with fancy projection technology
so it doesn't reveal that it's not shot on location
you would notice the cheap plastic and soundstage
OMG u no rike my show? No Chow mein for you!
This series shows how bad of a director she is
Stupid silly black lol
THIS IS A VISUAL MEDIUM SHOW SOMETHING THAT INDICATES ALL YOUR HEADCANNON.
what movie?
Atlanta S3. It's shit.
the lightsabres looked bad
Can't he just force jump over it?
This show is unbelievably stupid.
And the side plot of Reva needing something to do so she tracks down Leia, even though she was only using Leia to get to Obi-Wan was totally brainless and predictable.
>Force pull some large object
>Just step on the object and then over the fire
>Or just force push the flames out or something
Is Vader not one of the most powerful force users all of a sudden?
He's scared of fire.
And he lives on a volcano planet because….?
Keeps him on his toes, so he doesn't get too comfortable and easy to take out.
Or an ice spell
It was a flashback
There's a fucking stormtrooper standing in the fire anyway, top right of the burn
SHUT THE FUCK UP CHUD
>Luke, did I ever tell you about the time Lord Vader, or Darth as I call him, and I reunited 10 years after you were born? It was back when he was almost not a learner but also not yet a master. When he caught up with me after I skillfully evaded him 3 times in a row, he dragged my decrepit body over inflamed combustible crystals to give me a taste of of my own medicine. You see, back when we were even gooder friend than we are now, I dismembered him and left him to burn alive in an act of gracious Jedi mercy, and he wanted to pay back. Luckily my Jedi robes did not instantly combust like his did back in the days (I had learned from the experience and prepared for this exact scenario by regularly dowsing them with eopie’s urine, look it up, it’s on wookiepedia). Despite suffering third degree burns to my torso, my hands and face were spared despite being millimeters away from the flaming combustible. Otherwise you would be looking at the same disfigured face I gave good old Darth. However my sacrifice was not in vain, as your sister that I had just rescued managed to escape for 3 minutes before being caught again. (She would soon forget my existence and only refer to me as her father’s friend that she never met) Luckily a good friend I had just met and already forgotten about saved me by shooting one random stormtrooper out of dozens. Despite many ways get to me and his long awaited opportunity for revenge, Darth just stood there and let me go. It was all in good fun after all, there was no need to take it further. I would soon meet him again in a later episode of Kenobi of Disney + (he was still almost not a learner but not quite yet a master).
>You know Luke, despite having experienced your Fathe… I mean Darth’s cruelty first hand, both by the torture he inflicted on me and by witnessing his killing of children, I would still grant him my full forgiveness and eternal life if the chance presented itself. Why you ask? Because he was a good friend.
And a good friend
>I would still grant him my full forgiveness and eternal life if the chance presented itself.
But Ben told Luke that Vader was twisted and evil, more machine now than man. Redeeming Vader was all Luke.
truly the past is unpredictable
tbh Ewan looks more wrinkly and weathered in this show than Alec Guinness did.
Why don't the stormtroopers just shoot him? They have blasters...
>Filmed at some random quarry near the studio
>Reva somehow running through the tunnel past Leia and the other woman without them noticing
>All of the other "Obi-wan is too rusty to do anything" shit
God this series is a fucking mess.
I haven't seen this but can't they just walk around?
this show is so bad I had to beat up my wife to calm down
They advertised the lightsbaber fights as being more like the prequels but this one was as shaky and choppy as the sequels. The order 66 scene wasn't bad, hopefully things get better.
Also kinda miss the little trails lightsabers had on them when you moved them around, they're way less prominent here and make things look less fluid.
WHY R THERE moronS IN MY SPACE SOAP OPERA

Most inept fucking studio of all time
Anakin is just based.
what am i missing?
He couldn't get around the fire, from a certain point of view.
this 100%
He was experiencing an Anakin-level meltdown inside because of emotions, or like this anon said: inner conflict. How hard do they have to telegraph it to you retards than don't understand several five second shots of freezing doubting Vader, you gays?
But that's stupid.
>I am most disturbed by this fire. Let me return to my castle on Mustafar.
It's plain lazy writing, they needed a way for him to get away from an OP villain without any significant cost to the character or the story, beyond Obi Wan getting a booboo.
see even the faceblind autist got it by the shots and music cue
Except I understood the cues and just thought it was stupid. I understand that a strawman is easier to argue against and doesn't hurt your feelings though, and as a Star Wars fan in 2022 you are either a woman or an extremely effeminate man so I can't really blame you.
I find it perfectly in character for the Anakin "You're asking me to be rational. I know that is something I cannot do" fucking Skywalker. Unless you're one of those "but badass Vadar is from the cashgrab comics and videgames would've just force crush everyone", it's in line for his character arc from the movies. Dreaming obsessively of that moment of revenge for 10 years, then freezing because something isn't working how he fantasized, mainly seeing his feared and hated master/brother in such a state.
Great, I can't wait for them to explore this thread of character development and definitely not just maybe touch on it for 2 minutes before moving on to the next shitty virtual set because it was an afterthought and character A needed to get from point B to point C.
Hey, I agree the show looks cheap as fuck and that Chow is clearly out of her depth (even with the low-budget values the worst thing about the thing might be the directing), but centering the discussion about the scene on the logistics of avoiding the fire is subhuman-tier.
You can understand the queues and it still be fucking moronic
It's the only acceptable explanation. A moment of conflict. He better be extra pissed off because of it.
The background is just an LED screen duh
>most likely need to wait until episode 5 for the next fight
>Obi Wan is going to have a training montage in episode 4
>qui gon is going to tell obi to get up and fight when he gets knocked down
What's truly awful is Ahsoka trains after the Clone Wars and manages to fight Vader to a standstill while Obi-Wan does absolutely nothing to practice the force or his lightsaber skills in his cave that whole time in order to protect Luke if the time came. Yoda would be force calling him to get the fuck back into shape. Complete fuckup from Filoni and Disney in this portrayal of the character.
Filoni isn't responsible for this. If he were, it would have been made with much more care.
>Filoni isn't responsible for this. If he were, it would have been made with much more care.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Filoni is there in the form of those asinine Helicopter Inquisitors.
Filoni also gets a shout-out in each episode's credits.
How can a show be this bad? Even a shitty profit driven megacorp like Disney couldn't produce a show this bad by default, the production crew would have to be actively and deliberately making decisions they know to result in a bad show.
It's the symptom of a franchise that is milked bone dry of ideas beyond "we can make money".
Do you want to know why??
>Executive Producer - Ewan McGregor
THAT'S why. His new wife is in the show, his daughter is in the show; the problem with Obi-Wan is Obi-Wan himself.
He is making himself a Space Jesus show in which Obi-Wan will have no real character development and will instead be an insufferable Mary-Sue by the end as actors with egos cannot add to the creative process in a way that fairly disconnects themselves from the perceived character and their flaws.
The show is being tailored around him and his newfound internet, "Hello there" meme crowd so it's catering towards those who don't care about lore or anything like that.
This show is bad. The actors, including Ewan, are all pretty bad and wooden. The cinematography has no room to breathe before being violently shook all over the place. Dialogue is REALLY bad and the set designs look cheap.
This is a vanity project disguised as a character from one of the most popular franchises of all time. It's crammed full of diverse artists without stopping to realize that if someone's only quality is being diverse, they are doing them a disservice by allowing them to make bad content as it then closes any sort of discussion about their work being sub par or worse since it gets lumped into the overall "racism" crap that simply isn't the case.
It's only going to get worse.
Oh for fucks sake.
Producer - Ewan McGregor
>THAT'S why. His new wife is in the show, his daughter is in the show
Many such cases. Also PUTA.

BRING BACK GEORGE LUCAS
This scene does make me wonder if he knows the has son that Ben is hiding somewhere. If he wanted him dead he would have just killed him there but he clearly wanted him alive and brought back to the base probably for interrogation purposes. We know that he doesn't know about Leia because he doesn't find out until the end of episode 8 but he could have already known about Luke.
He let him go so he could psychologically torture him more.
Or capture him and torture him for however long he wants.
Its more fun for Vader this way, he doesn't want his torment of Obi Wan to end so soon. He wants to hunt him like a dog. Burn him, make him watch civilians die, let him go to suffer in horrible pain and guilt for awhile then catch him and torment him again.
How hard is that to understand?
He didn't do that on the Death Star.
Cause he was finished. Obi Wan was a withered old man then.
This is what we hope. But don't trust the mouse.
listen to this anon
It makes me mad to know there are retards overthinking the shit like this.
it is better to rage when it is not how you wanted it to be?
I never thought of it like that, I guess you're right. It's like pottery.
The dialouge in the scene also tells you this
When Obi-Wan is pulled into the fire Vader says
>Your suffering has only just begun.
Oh God this is so beautiful. I love it. Trauma. I love it. Oh God. This oppression is how I felt during the Trump presidency.
Good thing he read the script and knew he'd be saved then, right?
what kind of shitty smartass rhetorical question is that
He was going to imprison him and torture him but then when he was getting rescued Vader decided it would be better this way. Now that they are hot on his trail he can't get away for long.
This will also lead to Vader learning his children are alive and set his eventual change back to the light side in motion.
>and set his eventual change back to the light side in motion.
holy shit 5 decades after and you still don't get it
Sidious told Vader his children died in childbirth. He doesn't know they are alive.
he is still conflicted about his commitment to the dark side, the good in him has always been there
>snaps the neck of everyone in your family
holy shiet you pick up on nothing, the good in him is awakened when meeting people connected to the time when he was Anakin, a random family means nothing as Vader because they dont have a relation to him as anything but Vader
And learning his children are alive will be the thing that starts strengthening the good in him. Without that hope he would have kept spiraling deeper into the dark side.

what is that pic from

But who is in the pic, I don't want to subscribe to disney + to find out

>hayden
why is anakin without the suit
pirate it to find out
fuck you
It's not really Anakin
Obi Wan is suffering from PTSD in this series and has frequent nightmares and hallucinations
holy shit....
Are you retarded
why is anakin outside his suit?
just reply to that without being a pedantic moron
is this your entire life's highlight?
he isn't you retard holy shit
obi wan is hallucinating because he just learned that anakin was still alive
>subscribe
Yo-ho, a pirate's life for me.
The ravaged mining planet looks a lot like California.
Kino
Only good part of the episode and it never paid off. The obvious thing to do would be for Obi-Wan and Vader to fight, but Obi-Wan starts hallucinating that's it's Anakin, that way we get a proper fight between the two.
i think he thought obi wan just want worth it anymore
Why not simply force push a stormtrooper or two over? Why not simply walk quickly over it?
See
My guess is he wishes to torment and inflict suffering on him like Obi-Wan did to him
retards watching this show asking why they didnt do this or that, stop doing that shit and ask why they did what they did, explore the other option
I'm not terribly into the show or anything, but it's obvious that the scene with the fire was a moment of emotional conflict in Vader. He's spent ten years of his life waiting for this moment and, not only is it completely anti-climactic and unsatisfying for him, he gets a taste of seeing someone he still loves deep down (because we know "there's still good in him") suffer like he did. There's too much apocrypha now for Vader to be portrayed as a badass emotionless robot in everything: he's an understandably incredibly traumatized person.
agreed
>completely anti-climactic and unsatisfying for him
So it was better in a random hallway on the Death Star where they hardly pulled any fancy attacks?
Obi-Wan is no longer important Luke is grown up and found
also lightsaber fights are rarely usefull for storytelling in the long run
Vader wasn't aware of Luke at that point yet.
hmm alright, still Obi-Wan was an old man and based on this show did not train or use the force much during his exile
Obi Wan has PTSD big time and it's preventing him from using the force properly. He can't calm his mind and shiet.
That was the first film and it was retconned in it's literal direct sequel. Everything that happens in Star Wars '77 needs to be read through a lens of retcons now if you give a shit about the franchise. Some do, some don't, but in discussing the new Disney shit shows we can't really point to '77 for all that much in terms of character motivation. Also, even back then that was just poor choreography. Very poor. Alec Guinness' gay little spin.
A random hallway in the Death Star is infinitely more interesting than generic virtual dirt set #69420
You guys should compete in the mental gymnastics Olympics. You would totally win.
thanks, atleast we dont lack imagination and thought like you
also the scene would be way better if Vader sprinter over and carried Obi-Wan by his neck to the dungeon
>Ten years being stuck in a low quality suit
>Ten years of blaming himself for killing his wife
>Ten years of not being able to sleep
>Ten years of pure rage built up. Tracking down Obi Wan
>Forced to go back to the planet where not only he was a slave but where his mother also died
I'm just going to drag your old ass on this small fire
>He's just a damaged tortured soul
underage poster
>he thinks the fight happened on tatooine
Good job not being able to follow the plot at all. You don't have a right to complain if you don't understand the most basic shit that happened.
That is so valid. One time I was called a gay for playing with my boyfriend's penis at a bar and it still traumatizes me to this day so I understand what Vader was going through.
losing several limbs and being left to burn in lava by your mentor is exactly the same as being caught playing with dick
you sure are a gay
His suit is fucking fireproof.
He bathes in Mustafar lava in one of the canon and approved comics. In the spot where he burned.
But who the fuck knows about that in the Obi Wan writing room? He's a dude in a black suit and shiet.
fuck off
What does Darth even mean?
Mr
believe it is a title to portray you are an elevated rank above lords among the Sith
There are only 2 sith though. So anyone who is a sith is a darth.
The other lesser jobbers are called inquisitors.
He is still a Sith Lord but also Darth
Sidious adopted it from old Siths, if more were to join them they wouild not all necessarily be Darth
They did let more join but they get around letting them be sith by calling them inquisitors.
A trend that Dooku started with Ventris.
Yes so the Darth title seems to be reserved to the "heir" or main apprentice of Sidious
>Inquisitors
Those are just Filoni's donut steel fanfiction OCs inserted into the nu-canon. They're just edgelord Dark Jedi.
Filoni was in charge of the canon for awhile though it seems someone probably hackleen kennedy is trying to wrest control from him. Probably because he was salvaging star wars and she can't have that.
Its a title. It means you are officially a
Dr of Arth.
It's a Sith Lord title designated to an apprentice under a master of the Sith tradition. It's derived from "Dark Lord" and comes from the old Sith language. That's all it is.
>darth is variation of the English word dark
>Vader is Dutch for father
>literally dark father
Bravo George
like pottery
Pretty sure it's just his first name. Obi-wan says he's "only master of evil, Darth". Just like Count Dooku, it's not a title, he doesn't have another first name, his first name is Count.
Count Dooku has a Sith title; Darth Tyranus
Based Retard
This thread. Fucking Christ.
>Darth Vader COULD just walk through the fire but he DIDN'T because he was CONFLICTED
>Why? He just was OKAY??
>But he also really wants to kill Obi Wan
>But he also is conflicted about something
>But he also isn't
>Look just be excited to see Darth Vader swing a lightsaber around
meds now
Vader obviously could have walked through the fire if he wanted. The fact that he didn't implies he let obi wan get away.
Its up to you if you think its because he doesn't really want to kill obi wan because of le inner good, or if its because he wanted obi wan to suffer more, of it its because he wanted obi wan to lead him to the rebels.
Have you people ever interacted with a human being in your lives? Yes, when you get betrayed by someone you love, you don't just stop loving them like an on/off switch, and especially after seeing them again for the first time in years a lot of those emotions come flooding back, and when mixed with pent-up rage, it's not odd to just freeze in response. We can talk about how shitty and flat the entire sequence looked or how stupidly it was choreographed, but it makes 100% complete sense that Vader would hesitate to kill Obi-Wan after meeting him for the first time. Vader hasn't been le heckin badass robot man since he asked his son to kiss him in Return of the Jedi.
Or maybe the show is just bad. Maybe he got away the same way the jedi got away in the first episode. or how obiwan got away at the end of the second episode. Or how a small child outran adults multiple times. If Vader was going to do a "just as planned" and let them escape to track them, the script wouldn't have had to have Leia get captured again.
is it not miserable to always look at faults instead of trying to see what you liked?
Why didn't they just ride the eagles over the fire?
I'm sick with covid and I genuinely wish I died before today, living long enough to see that fanfiction low budget dogshit episode was just horrible. One of the worst bits of Star Wars content ever made.
>why didn't Vader use the force to extinguish the fire like he did moments before?
>why didn't Vader crush the droid he could clearly see rescuing Obi-Wan?
>why didn't Vader use the force to drag Obi-Wan towards himself?
>why didn't Vader or any of the stormtroopers go AROUND the fucking fire?
>how did the lady who rescued Obi-Wan even get away safely after she revealed her position by firing and was extremely close to Vader?
I was trying hard to turn brain off and CONSUME but they make it impossible.
Why not just ban black people?
>Hey guys let's set up Vader's first chronological appearance since RotS
>It's going to be epic to see him on screen again, what could we possibly do to make sure it feels just right ?
>I know, let's use some generic music and certainly not the theme that's gone hand in hand with the character for all of his previous appearances
It's like they want this show to feel like fanfiction even more than it already does, don't they ?
How the fuck can you set up Vader and forego his fucking iconic theme ? This has to be some kind of huge elaborate joke, it has to be.
Even a fan movie would use the imperial march
