Since this gets more views, I want to post this link to my covers, check them out. There’s an Andor, Rogue One, Book of Boba Fett, The Mandalorian, Kenobi and Solo matching covers.
I didn’t do any of the artwork or even the layout, I just put them altogether.
I did not do ANY of the artwork, I had an idea and went with it. If you’re the artist, I’ll remove it.
I wanted to do a set using the torn billboard design. I also wanted to use pictures of certain characters so that you know this is a shared universe. I manipulated the Rogue One poster to incorporate Mon Mothma as she is in many movies and series, as well as Bail Organa, again, same reason.
I hope you like them.

A Spanish poster for upcoming Star Wars has a second season of Book Of Boba Fett on it, “coming soon”:
It is only reddit, but there could be something to it.
There’s not a season 2 for Andor on there, even though there clearly is.
They might have gotten approved recently for a season 2 of BOBF. It could all tie into The Mandalorian
The reason Kenobi didn’t kill Vader is because he feels sorry for turning Anakin into this monstrosity, so he doesn’t want to kill him. He’s this monster with the face of someone he used to know and care about.
Like Luke Skywalker, he just couldn’t kill him, even if it’s the right thing to do. Underneath all that armor he’s still Anakin Skywalker.
After spending a few days with Anakin’s daughter Leia, he doesn’t want to be the one to kill her real father and have her resent him for it.
Maybe Kenobi was hoping Anakin would one day turn away from the dark side, kill the Emperor and redeem himself.
The exposition is for the audience, who have no idea what Mos Eisley is (in 1977 when the film was made and was a self contained thing).
I never thought seeing the movie at 11 that Luke was some indentured servant on the farm, he talked about going to Tosche Station (on his own) so clearly he has reign to come and go.
I meant that the only place he could go alone was Anchorhead and Tosche Station. I’m sure he’s heard stories about Mos Eisley, but was never allowed to go there alone.
Most of the stormtroopers were there in Mos Eisley.
After watching Kenobi, I think the Lars kept Luke on or near the farm, only allowing him to get supplies in Anchorhead/Tosche Station. If he did go anywhere further than that, Owen or Beru were with him.
I think that’s why he wanted so badly to go to the Academy. He just wanted to go anywhere but where he was.
Just like Yoda said, “Always looking away to the future, never his mind on what he was doing.”
They even showed that in Obi-wan Kenobi when young Luke jumped up on the roof pretending he was in a pod racer or flying a ship. He wasn’t doing his chores like he was told.
I’m sure George has seen it, or his friends telling him to watch it.
Yes, it’s not perfect, not by a long shot. There’s lots of errors and stuff I would have done differently.
There’s a lot of things I liked in this, but there’s also things that didn’t make sense.
I do miss the wipes, John Williams musical score, and a few common sense issues that the characters didn’t have.
Some of the background actors with speaking roles seemed liked they were just going through the motions and the script without showing any emotion on their faces whatsoever. Some were good, others just didn’t show anything. There was no urgency for a couple of actors I noticed.
Overall, I liked it, but it could have been better than what it was. It could have used at least one or two more rewrites before shooting started.
I can’t wait to see the fan edits of this.
I give it a 78% out of 100.
I have a feeling that Reva will show up in the Mandalorian eventually, or another spin-off show. Maybe she saves Grogu, who knows.
I have noticed SW shows have always been staging another show to come (Marvel way) so I guess you’re gonna be right on this one.
Nah, she’ll probably show up in season 2 and get killed by Vader. I guess they removed that scene of her death, or it was only a rumor, because season 2 was most likely approved.
OR
She could show up in the Andor series or Jedi Survivor video game.
Either way, she’s in hiding now, just like Obi-wan.
I have a feeling that Reva will show up in the Mandalorian eventually, or another spin-off show. Maybe she saves Grogu, who knows.
I really thought I’d see more of the droids walking up behind Bail and his wife.
I guess they did that so when he sees R2-D2 in Episode IV, he really doesn’t recognize him anymore because the last time he seen him was in ROTS.
It’s a good thing they didn’t show up when Kenobi arrived.
I really loved this episode, I know it’s not what some fans wanted, but I enjoyed it. Maybe they might give in and give the other fans what they want.
I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
They should just stop making Star Wars stuff, there’s enough already
Or they could come up with new ideas.
Even Disney new ideas are now being recycled like crazy (Baby Yoda / Lil Leia / Omega, or Rey the scavanger / Ben the hobo butcher, Reva / Finn even share lots of similar ideas). They even have already did TWICE the Imperial redhead guy switching side… (never trust gingers, remember Cartman warned us about them 😄).
Maybe they could just do less but better, quality vs quantity. But when I read some comments here, I have the feeling casual fans just want to be plugged to neverending Star Wars feed with a mind elastic enough to accept basically anything (it still is incredibly laughable to consider the number of comments defending a rematch set between Mustafar and the Death Star events as “adding more depth and layers”… well, we’ve seen the quality of those layers, right…).
They are bringing us new movies with new characters never before seen in Patty Jenkins movie Rogue Squadron in 2024 and Taika Waititi’s Star Wars film in 2023.
It’ll be here soon, patience.

I’m hoping for a season 2, this time with Luke, but no planet hopping this time. Maybe Luke is in trouble with Jabba the Hutt or owes him money. You could have Luke flying his T-16 through Beggars Canyon racing others, but he loses and owes Jabba. Kenobi might have to kill a few bounty hunters along the way.“People just never learn of their mistakes. Never.”
I apologize for being rude, I’m sorry
If there was to be a season two, skip a few years to get a graying Kenobi (with a wig that looks like Sir Alec’s wig) going up against some Hutt BS or a force-sensitive bounty hunter that endangers Luke/the citizens of the Dune Sea. Maybe this is the incident that makes Owen go “no contact” with Kenobi (if Joel Edgerton’s salary demands are met/he’s not too busy).
Maybe find a live-action Satine for flashbacks? Her absence is understandable in this story, but it would be nice to have her acknowledged.
Agreed, they should age him a bit. You have some great ideas. Love the wig idea, lol.
Maybe you could have Kenobi have premonitions of his encounter with Maul as well.
I’m wondering if you changed the score of this to all John Williams score if it would improve the feel of the show. I feel when Vader is on screen we should be getting the imperial march theme or the extended march theme. It doesn’t have to play all the time, but this feels like a cosplay without certain themes. The same goes for Leia and her theme.
John Williams would know exactly how to do it, I just don’t understand why they didn’t have him instead. I guess he was busy or cost too much. I know he’s getting older, so that might be another reason.
It does have this cheap production feel to it at times throughout the series.

What would you like to see if there was a season 2? Do you agree with using Luke this time?
“We’ve got to bring him back somewhere. We’ve got to see the old Boba Fett," Morrison said. “We reintroduced him. We found out some stuff. But I think it’s time to get him back to his badass ways. No two ways around that. So, I think we sort of have that scope to go back there, but that’s out of my control. I’ll just see what happens.”
I’d be happy to see that old Boba Fett again. But surely the time for that was the first season of this show, and them show him mellowing or reaiising the ‘there is a better way’ for him and his bounty hunter kin as the series progressed each season?
They probably told the writers this is a one and done, with a very small chance of a second season.
I liked it, that was better for that scene.
The slower imperial march should play during their battle, not the whole track, just the beginning and mix the original in, then back to the theme again once Vader tips over that cart.
I think if you could add a rumble sound effect into the battle it wouldn’t feel flat and boring.
When the music ends in the theme, is where he can’t reach Kenobi because of the flames.
Just like when he reached the Falcon on Hoth, he reached it and it flew away.
Also, just like when Luke let go and fell in Cloud City, he couldn’t do anything but watch him fall.
Sure he could have stopped both of them, but he decided to let them both go, just as he did Kenobi.
Since a lot of you would love to see Anakin/Darth Vader return in Kenobi to The Imperial March, I made this:
ANAKIN RETURNS - IMPERIAL MARCH (made for fanedit)
Very nice, but can you use the slower version of the imperial march during the actual duel.
This one, thank you.
Like I said, he looks cheap and different because he never had to go up against a strong Jedi Master
OR: he looks cheap because the production fucked him up.
Have you looked at Vaders costume and helmet in A New Hope? Cheap looking, but for The Empire Strikes Back, they had the bigger budget and made his helmet shine and made his suit better.
Future Spoilers:
in the final duel Obi-wan Kenobi destroys a part of Darth Vader’s helmet, so he gets a new helmet before A New Hope.
I loved the episode, I can see why fans are complaining, but it’s the little moments that count the most to me. Whenever Kenobi is talking to Leia about something from the past, it just breaks my heart. Both of their performances are very good.
As far as Vader, this isn’t Vader from A New Hope. He too, is on a journey, just as Kenobi is. It’s like looking at something that isn’t finished yet and saying that sucks, it’s horrible.
There is another duel and I’m sure Kenobi will show Vader why he’s still the master, angering Vader even more. This loss in the next duel will make Vader upgrade his armor and helmet even further. Like I said, he looks cheap and different because he never had to go up against a strong Jedi Master, such as Kenobi in the last 10 years. His armor is weaker due to no contest against the weak Jedi he ran across.
Kenobi is only fighting at like 50% in this episode, because the force is slowly going back to Kenobi. In his final duel with Vader he will be at 100%
I just have a strong feeling that Kenobi wipes Leia’s memory because she finds out something. Maybe she learns her father is the man in that horrible black mask. It might be too traumatic for her, so he removes those memories of them together and her learning the truth.
Remember in Return of the Jedi, when Leia says to Luke, “I know, somehow I’ve always known.” She knew Luke was her brother and Vader was her father, but Kenobi removes it from her memory. When Luke reveals to her they are brother and sister, some of those memories return to her.
I also think he tells young Leia that if she ever needs him again, she can find him in the Jundland Wastes on Tatooine. Maybe R2-D2 is there when he says it, that way he knows exactly where to go on that big planet.
Once Qui-Gon appears and converses with his student, it changes everything for him.
Carrie Fisher is on the right.
Qui-Gon was more friendlier and talked to Anakin like his equal. Anakin could tell he actually cared for him.
Whereas Kenobi who thought Anakin was this lower life form, just like Jar Jar. He ONLY trained Anakin because it was his master’s last dying wish. Had he not said that, Kenobi would have brought him back to Tatooine.
Kenobi did not treat him as an equal, but rather a student who didn’t deserve it. He would tell his student everything he was doing wrong, but never did he praise him, treat him fair, like Qui-Gon would have.
I am enjoying it, the one continuity issue that I have is that OWK doesn’t know that Anakin is still alive?
In Revenge of the Sith he literally watches a security video where Anakin is with Palpatine and Palpy refers to him as Vader, so if even once in the last ten years OWK has heard of the Emperor’s enforcer “Vader” he would have to know that Anakin is still alive. One could argue that he lives in a cave on Tatooine, doesn’t get out much, he’s clearly a cord cutter so he isn’t watching the Intergalactic News Network, but he knows who the Inquisitors are…it just seems a BIG stretch that Anakin Vader being alive is news to him.
Maybe this IS the first time hearing it. He found out 10 years before A New Hope.
Maybe Vader hasn’t been showing his face much, only until Kenobi shows his face is he interested in putting on that dreadful suit that’s very painful for him. He wants revenge, so he’s going to suit up.
After watching these two episodes…
I went back to watch Alec Guinness’ performance as Kenobi when Leia’s message played for him and Luke. His reaction to the message hits different for me now, than it did before. I love that he knows her personally and not just as Princess Leia of Alderaan or Luke’s sister.
I love watching this and how they fill in these characters backstories, I’m excited to see what’s next.
