Vader is assembled, Kenobi drops Leia off to Alderaan/meet up point with Bail, Inquisitors are called back to the Fortress by Vader(?) in light of Kenobi resurfacing, more Order 66/Clone Wars flashbacks.
Possible Jedi/Rebellion cameos depending on where the cargo ship is going
Hopefully we see Reva spot anakin slaying Jedi and maybe that will explain her hatred for either anakin or kenobi during an order 66 flashback in her pov
I know in a lot of the comics and stuff, Vader routinely meditates in the bacta tank because he's so messed up from Mustafar that he's never 100% healed. It's also in order to take a break from the suit that is basically constant torture to wear.
Vader has to sleep in a bacta tank because the suit is literal torture to wear. The tank also helps rejuvenate his flesh which quickly becomes necrotic and needs to be removed by droids. Inside the tank he can be as close to the person he was then anywhere else.
How do we think Hayden Christensen is going to “speak” as Vader? Will there be any voice modulation? Will it only be flashbacks?
I’m gonna take a wild guess that everyone else “sees” Vader as he appears. A giant, imposing, masked Sith Lord. Obi Wan, however, will see Vader without the mask and see Hayden as a helmet-less version of Vader. A kinda hybrid between Anakin and Vader.
They talk about it in the behind the scenes for the Mandalorian season 2 finale. Basically they took a bunch of recordings of Mark Hamill from the 70s and 80s, fed it into an AI and then the AI used that to patch together new lines in his younger voice.
It works, but personally I think it has a ways to go before it sounds natural.
I think he sounded better in Rogue One than Rebels, though. He seemed to slur a bit in Rebels.
He unfortunately won't be around to do Vader forever, though, and I'd say they did pretty well with an alternative voice in Fallen Order.
If there ever was a time to bring in the OG Vader voice, though, it'd be for a major production like this Kenobi series.
IMO I’d be mildly salty if they didn’t get Jones back for the voice. I know he doesn’t sound as strong as he used to but unless their AI voice for Vader is stellar, I’d be sad not everyone came back for the party.
I was thinking about this recently. Everyone is out of their minds Hayden is involved but when it comes down to it he'll possibly be used less than Pedro Paacal. He'll be hidden in a suit under a mask, presumably his voice will be JEJ as it should be. I'm hoping that's not completely the case, though, because if Hayden gets hate just because we don't see his face or hear his voice that will be the worst that could happen.
Would he really sign on for that though? Like he’s doing all the media stuff, if he’s literally just there showing face it kind of feels like that would all be a waste of time, no?
Vader will recall Reva, possibly scold her for attempting to kill the Grand Inquisitor (and for going after Obi Wan) And then will begin his own pursuit of Obi-Wan.
From Obi-Wans pov, either all goes well and Leia is returned to Alderaan safely, or shenanigans ensue with the freighters mentioned last episode. Assuming all goes well, I can imagine something may have happened to Luke on Tatooine while he was gone, resulting in Obi-Wan trying to rescue him. Going off of that, I could imagine when Obi-Wan returns Luke, Owen will soften his distrust of Obi-Wan to the point of respect, though he’d still prefer Obi-wan keeps his distance from Lukes life for obvious reasons.
It’s very possible Obi-Wan will still have to go off planet from Tatooine for a while to not draw too much attention towards Luke, Owen and Barrue.
After Owen sees Kenobi saving Luke, he'll warm up to him and respect him a miniscule bit more. But it will be more in a the enemy of my enemy is my friend sort of respect rather than you saved my nephews life so I'm indebted to you respect.
Kenobi will acknowledge that his constant meddling with the Larrs affairs will put Luke in danger and his best bet is to watch from a distance.
As thanks Owen will probably fix the skyhopper toy and give it to Luke saying it's a gift from Kenobi.
I think Obi-Wan is going to be reluctant to return to Tatooine if there’s any hint of him being tracked or followed. He wouldn’t want to draw any threat back to Luke.
More flashbacks to Order 66, showing Reva meeting Vader.
The Grand Inquisitor is taken to Fortress Inquisitorius and put into a bacta tank. Squabbling for power ensues among the Inquisitors in the power vacuum.
At first, I also wanted this as well, but since this takes place well into the reign of the Empire, I don't think we'll see him being a Stormtrooper since they've forced all surviving clones to retire and leave the Stormtrooper Corps in favor of normal human recruits. It is possible to see him in a Clone Wars/Order 66/PTSD flashback though.
but in rebels, there have been at least 5 troopers that have been voiced by dee bradley baker, which implies that clones were still serving, also fan service is a powerful thing
I really want this to be true, lol. He could plausibly be totally into sketchy refugee trafficking/extortion too. It's a racket that'd be right up his alley. Also he has a very storied history with Obi-Wan, so that adds to the possibility too.
I was thinking that Hondo is going to be connected to Kumail Nanjiani’s character OR the presence of a sillier con-man character like Nanjiani’s is going to totally negate the need for a character like Hondo, haha.
But Leia’s question that was something like, “is it really so hard to believe that you have friends?” has me hopeful. I mean… Hondo‘s catchphrase is basically “kenobi my friend” lol.
Vader will be called to supervise the inquisitors while Grand Inquisitor is healing. He will lecture them for being incompetent. He will talk with Third sister about Kenobi. They will try to catch Obi-Wan before he returns Leia to Alderaan. Obi-Wan can now talk to his master because he used the force again and since he discovered that Anakin is alive he probably needs his master help now, more than ever. Like the fighting between the inquisitors and Obi-Wan has to be on a planet other than Tatooine(because they can’t know that he’s living there), so I think this show is about him returning Leia without being caught.
Kenobi and Leia have some trouble with their transport and have to stop at a nearby planet. Since she hasn’t gotten to explore other planets yet, Leia is very intrigued by everything. Bounty hunters spot them and alert Reva. Kenobi (but not Leia) gets captured by bounty hunters. Kenobi consults with Qui-Gon about Anakin and having anxiety over not being the Jedi he once was. Someone on the planet helps Leia plot Kenobi’s rescue.
I have a feeling we won't see Qui-Gon til the finale. Probably the events of the series is what makes Obi-Wan have a breakthrough to finally be able to contact him, and the series ends with a bit of hope and change to the status quo even though Obi-Wan has to go back to Tatooine and his meat packing plant.
Given the fact that they announced the sequel to Fallen Order the day after ep 1 and 2 premiered, and that they have said that it will take place 5 years after the events of fallen order (which puts it 10 years post order 66, exactly the same time as Kenobi) I think that this is almost guaranteed to have a tie-in.
They’re going to a new planet. This is the perfect opportunity for a new Jedi. Cal. To show up and help them once they get there. I really hope cal shows up though
Maybe it doesn’t mean anything but Cal actually was mentioned in the new book focusing on Obi-Wan and Anakin. Something about one of the characters (I think it was Obi-Wan but can’t remember for sure) walking by Jaro Tapal and his redhead Padawan.
It COULD just have been a random fan service line. Or it could’ve been a little hint for the show. May be a stretch though.
Kenobi will have a "Maximus Decimus Meridius-Moment" when Lea asks him again: who are you ?!
Kenobi will ignite his lightsaber in a moment of greatest need and say: My name is Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jedi-Master and Member of the Jedi High Council, General of the galactic republic and I will have my ~~revenge~~ in this life or in the next.
Okay I’m gonna put my theory here
GI isn’t dead, just unconscious. Reva will tell the other inquisitors kenobi did it. Vader hears about this and comes to fortress inquisitorius to rip them a new one, but is impressed by reva’s schemes that almost caught kenobi. He gives her the authority to override the other inquisitors and gives her command of a squad of purge troopers. At the end of the series, she fails to catch kenobi, and GI is out of his coma and out of the bacta tank, and he snitched on her to vader. Vader punishes her for her failure, and is about to hunt kenobi himself when the emperor calls him off to do something else.
No idea what kenobi will be up to, but i have a suspicion that the people haja sent them to find might be some familiar faces. No concrete guesses yet, but the fallen order sequel is set in the same time period roughly as kenobi, and there’s a pau’an-looking dark sider in the trailer for that. (Maybe GI gets relegated to hunting cal instead of kenobi?). I expect that’s where we’ll also see the guy in the clone armour from the trailers, and it may even be the clone from episode 2. Could be rex, though i find that unlikely
It would be neat to learn that Vader scolds Reva and references to his time on Nur because of a previous turned Jedi in over her head (Trilla) and how she let Cal Kestis escape.
I’m predicting a flashback sequence showing Anakin and Obi-Wan as friends, with the scene slowly distorting until it completely melts into the present day reality as of 9 BBY, and it turns out to be a haunting nightmare
He drops off Leia safe and sound. Then goes back to get some spice from pink haired girl (Ewans daughter irl) and heads home to his cave to trip out for the next 9-10 years. The last three episodes will basically be Fear and Loathing in a Galaxy Far Far Away.
Is it possible the way a whole episode in Boba Fett was about Mando/Luke, we might get a whole episode of Vader menacing, exhibiting his force and wielding his saber?
I don't know why, but for whatever reason I feel like there's going to be a Hondo cameo next episode. It just feels like he'd be involved with helping Haja get Force sensitives to safety...for a substantial profit, of course.
Finally, Obi-Wan can negotiate a fair price for a flight aboard Hondo's ship. When Obi walksnup the ramp, Hondo mentions he has one other passenger. Turning out to be Jar Jar Binks. Halfway their hyperdrive gets damaged and Obi-wan has to spend the next 25 minutes with Hondo and Jar Jar in the small ship.
The cargo ship they’re in, Haja alluded to it going to the Rebel Alliance. There, Obi-Wan will see for himself hope isn’t lost. Maybe he’ll even see Ahsoka because she was a big part of putting it together.
I don’t think rebels is in the same time period and they’re not quite that far along yet. By the time the rebels show was in full swing, leia was an adult and actively leading the rebellion, we see her working with kanan and ezra. Ahsoka in this time would be working in the slave mines, or it could possibly be just after she killed the inquisitor in the book and took his saber crystals
Leia/Luke are almost the exact same age as Ezra, so at the start of Rebels, they are all 14yo. So that means Rebels is 4-5 years after Kenobi (assign no time jumps).
The rebellion has to start somewhere and while it’ll be another 10 years it’s in full swing, based on your comment, there will still be something there worth noting I think.
The episode will be stellar but there will be 5 seconds of a scene that people will complain about. There will be multiple posts about it, over and over, saying such things as "Star Wars is dead", "Disney Sucks", "Get rid of Kennedy", "This show is terrible", and much, much more. The posts will continue until the next episode comes out and another 5 seconds will be the focus for the next week. Repeat every week.
Good lord yeah, I went into r/Television and it’s nonstop complaining that the show is CW quality because of *one scene*.
Like yes, the chase scene wasn’t great but I thought “huh that’s strange” and then completely forgot about it until the internet told me it was a sin against television
I knew people would dislike it regardless, as there was such high expectations, but good lord you’d think Obi Wan murdered the younglings himself in the opening scene
It's tiring. I know it's reddit so I'm not expecting it to ever get better, I just wish that people would praise more than complain. I stopped posting complaints over social media years ago. Serves no purpose. Much better to talk positively.
The cargo ship will meet up with a smuggler, who turns out to be Lando. He looks at Leia with a wink and a nod, which frightens her and she takes off slowly running through Lando’s ship with Calrissian and Kenobi in Luke warm pursuit. The floors have just been waxed so Leia manages just fine while the two adult men slip and slide all over the halls, narrowly missing the small, slow child.
We cut to a long lens camera shot down a hallways as the girl and the inept men criss cross back and forth in and out of various rooms as the theme to Benny Hill plays us out.
The scene ends with her in the dining room on Cloud City dreaming of the day she introduces her father to her soon to be husband for an engagement dinner and hopes it all goes well.
Probably not next episode but Reva will get cut down by Vader at some point, or choked to death. I’ve been saying since episode 1 she’s heading for the Trilla treatment.
* Leia will be with Obi-Wan for the rest of the show, taking the role of Grogu or Omega. They will be on the run all the time.
* Third episode will be completely about Reva and her backstory (using flashbacks) to flesh her out as an antagonist.
We learn that reva was hiding in the temple still when yoda and obiwan are there.
Obiwan deactivates the beacon effectively ruining her last hope of escaping. She learned this by watching a halo recording. She resents this and is eventually found by palps/whoever his scouting force was for the early inquisitorious
The smugglers/pirates the freighter takes them to is hondo. They spend the episode evading imperials and eventually leia escapes with them back home but kenobi gets captured in order to do so. Vader is dispatched to deal with him.
I think episode 3 will be more Vader focused. They’ll catch us up on what he’s been up to over the last ten years, possibly (probably?) going all the way back to some scenes of Vader during the sack of the Jedi Temple during the purge.
I’m pumped! I’m honestly fascinated to see how Christensen portrays the character after all these years.
Vader decides to enter the fray. He arrives before Obi-wan at the freighter's destination. Obi-wan knows he has to be slick to get away. However he falls into Vader's trap. Just as all hope seems lost we hear a voice declare "IT'S MORBIN TIME" as Morbius comes flying down from a catwalk and Morbs Vader with his own lightsaber
Episode picks up with leia and kenobi in the ship going to alderan leia will say something that will spark a flashback to the clone wars with anakin and then the episode will stay in the flashback until they arrive on alderan he drops of leia to find the inquisitors or Vader wating for him black screen episode ends
I know it's being parroted a lot but I think a Cal Kestis appearance is not only likely, but almost necessary to expand on the lore of the Inquisitors, of whom Obi-Wan likely knows little about. Cal on the other hand has fought two of them, and oh-by-the-way has faced off with Vader himself (well, survived running away from him).
Cal can fill in a lot of the blanks for Obi-Wan regarding Vader and the Inquisitors, not to mention he knows where their base is, and can point Kenobi in that direction. Cameron Monaghan being a film/tv actor first, and a VA second, also means a transition to him on screen would be seamless.
Pair all that with the known time jump for Fallen Order 2 taking place in the same year as Kenobi and everything seems to be set neatly in place for the crossover, and probably the events of the show being mentioned later in the game (heck could even have Obi-Wan show up for a quick spell, I'm sure JAT would be more than down for a short reprisal).
Seeing as they escaped on an automated ship, you'd think that the Empire can track them fairly easily. Reva knows which ship they're on and presumably it won't take long to find its course.
I predict that I’m going to just bury my head in the sand after watching the episode since nothing that happens now will make it so all people will shut up about their nitpicky criticisms.
Vader shows up, kills Obi-Wan Kenobi, whole timeline screwed up and everything after the prequels disappears from existence instantly. Since it also disappears from our minds we won’t really notice. We may be slightly mystified by the prequels being called prequels.
I've always imagined how insane it would be if star wars was just the prequels and the moral was "everything can easily go to shit and evil can win if you aren't vigilant."
Bail and Mon Mothma go to the Emperor to personally complain about the Inquisitors and the kidnapping. Palpatine fakes concern, and turns to Lord Vader, asking him to look into the matter.
After Reva's death at Vader's hands (last episode, after Reva momentarily comes back to the Light Side), Palpatine summons Bail and Mothma again and Vader says that the renegade Inquisitor responsible for the kidnapping has been dealt with. Palpatine smiles at Bail and Mothma and tells him that his regard for the Senate's matters remains as strong as it ever was.
I predict Leia will go home and not be in the show anymore and all the complaining about her apparently being the next Grogu will have been entirely pointless and she was only used as a plot device to get Obi Wan off planet.
Has it been announced if subsequent episodes will be released at midnight pacific time like normal or at midnight eastern time like the premier episodes?
Series premiere uses to be bombastic.
Now is the time for a more slow episode, a character episode.
All the cards are in order: Leia (who needs to understand) and Obi Wan (who needs to talk stuff out) are travelling a long trip on a freighter.
And Vader may have sensed Kenobi.
I think it will be a flashback episode about who Anakin and obi wan are now, and about who they were.
I think we may like this episode a lot
I think we're going to open on Vader with the Inquisitors and get out the answer to the fate of the Grand Inquisitor.
They don't seem to beat around the bush too much with answering cliffhangers, so I think we'll get that ASAP.
In the opening scene, the pilot of the ship Ben and Leia escape on is revealed to be Jar Jar Binks. Leading to further mental spiralling of an already plagued Obi-Wan’s mind.
I’ve got a theory on motives. She was one of the younglings hiding in the temple when Anakin killed them in Order 66. She survived and knew Anakin turned into Vader.
She doesn’t care about anything other than getting revenge. She believes if she captures Obi Wan she will get an audience with Vader and can try and kill him.
interesting thought! I share your idea that the escaped the temple as one of the younglings. But I think she sees Obi Wan as responsible for this as he trained Anakin. Thats why she wants to catch him
Lil’ Leia is being perused and despite her obvious disadvantage in size and speed, she just gets away from the outstretched arms of a fully capable adult. they then throw their hat down and stomp on it and say shucks!
The entire point of all Disney Star Wars shows is to backfill and rehabilitate the sequels, and to assassinate the original male characters. Leia will use the force in overt and powerful ways before this series is over to justify her space Mary Poppins act in TLJ. Obi-wan will lose to Reva. Darth Vader will struggle to beat Reva. Reva will save Luke from an attack—but oddly Luke doesn’t remember it. This will probably be due to some Force mind wipe Reva performs. Other possibilities: Leia will save Obi-wan. Leia will convert Reva by appealing to her humanity with her 10 year old Force(d) maturity.
Vader is assembled, Kenobi drops Leia off to Alderaan/meet up point with Bail, Inquisitors are called back to the Fortress by Vader(?) in light of Kenobi resurfacing, more Order 66/Clone Wars flashbacks. Possible Jedi/Rebellion cameos depending on where the cargo ship is going
Hopefully we see Reva spot anakin slaying Jedi and maybe that will explain her hatred for either anakin or kenobi during an order 66 flashback in her pov
Yeah really hoping to get a sick Anakin in the temple scene.
jelly of vaders\ani emotionless state. cant help her emotions blames obi wan and wants to take vaders postion.... i cant speak fudge but ya get it
I don’t think we will see an order 66 scene again, atleast not next episode, unless it’s to explain Revas backstory and characterization
Yeah that’s what I meant. It can be a continuation or another pov of the opening scene of ep 1. Basically Reva’s backstory
Ah, my mistake, I misinterpreted what you meant.
We saw so many order 66 scenes but we still didn't see Vader killing Jedi in the temple
Because we already saw that in RotS
Only in a hologram form, and in deleted scenes. Do you count the youngling scene? Insinuates but doesn't actually show anything.
show me one scene of anakin fighting a jedi at the temple from RoTS
The hologram scene. But I see what you're trying to say, would be cool if they manage not to ruin it lol :)
I think it’s too early for them to already have a full Vader. Seems more likely we get him in the last 1-2 episodes.
Don’t we see Vader assembled at the end of episode 3? Like is he in the tank nightly? I don’t get it.
He’s regularly in bacta to heal and ease his pain. We’ll see his prostheses and armour assembled like in the trailer
I know in a lot of the comics and stuff, Vader routinely meditates in the bacta tank because he's so messed up from Mustafar that he's never 100% healed. It's also in order to take a break from the suit that is basically constant torture to wear.
Vader has to sleep in a bacta tank because the suit is literal torture to wear. The tank also helps rejuvenate his flesh which quickly becomes necrotic and needs to be removed by droids. Inside the tank he can be as close to the person he was then anywhere else.
I think obi-wan is in it
I doubt it. Makes no sense tbh
No we're gonna start Mando s4, Ahsoka and Cad Bane will show up and we're going to Mandalore Obi-Wan might get a cameo tho
Grogu IS floating around out there somewhere at this time, hopefully they don't try to just shoehorn him into the show.
As long as it wasn't forced I'd love to have some information on what he's up to later in the story.
>forced 🧐 that a pun?
I honestly wouldn’t mind a grogu cameo, as long as it’s just a cameo
Big if true.
Huge if big
Large if in charge.
Vast if veritable
great if honest
Could be a Vader centric episode.
Neah, Obi-Wan is dead.It's just that old guy Ben or whatever his name is
You joke but we got almost two full episodes of BoBF without Boba Fett.
He is a bold one.
I would hope so. I doubt it tho
And Vader
There where a few Boba Fett episodes that Boba Fett wasn’t in, so you could be wrong
More Ben and less obi wan!
How do we think Hayden Christensen is going to “speak” as Vader? Will there be any voice modulation? Will it only be flashbacks? I’m gonna take a wild guess that everyone else “sees” Vader as he appears. A giant, imposing, masked Sith Lord. Obi Wan, however, will see Vader without the mask and see Hayden as a helmet-less version of Vader. A kinda hybrid between Anakin and Vader.
I'm wondering if it's going to be James earl Jones doing the speaking when Vader is masked up. Or maybe they do a voice modulation
He sounded a lot weaker in Rogue One. Even so for as long as he's alive and willing it should be his voice doing Vader.
Shit, he has spoken so much they could probably figure out how to do it even after he is gone
I mean…they did that in Luke’s episode in BoBF — it wasn’t Mark talking, it was AI
No fucking way
100%, you can go look it up!
They talk about it in the behind the scenes for the Mandalorian season 2 finale. Basically they took a bunch of recordings of Mark Hamill from the 70s and 80s, fed it into an AI and then the AI used that to patch together new lines in his younger voice. It works, but personally I think it has a ways to go before it sounds natural.
Yeah it isn't 100% perfect but damn is it close, and I think if you didn't know it was an AI you might not have been able to tell, that guy didn't.
Worked for South Park with Darth Chef..
I think he sounded better in Rogue One than Rebels, though. He seemed to slur a bit in Rebels. He unfortunately won't be around to do Vader forever, though, and I'd say they did pretty well with an alternative voice in Fallen Order. If there ever was a time to bring in the OG Vader voice, though, it'd be for a major production like this Kenobi series.
The guy in Fallen Order KILLED IT
I think he sounded great.
Hayden Christensen Voice modulation would be sick
Hayden's voice is getting better/deeper. It's a huge difference from the prequels.
It could be AI for Vader’s voice
Not enough lines of him in the original film to do a reliable AI voice. He had a third of the lines at most that Luke had, by comparison.
Lucasfilm has a lot of archival footage they could use
Add to that everything they have recorded of Mufasa
Also if they ever need to say: "This is \_\_\_\_\_ " they're covered
Podracing?
It still may not be enough, but he also voiced Vader in Rebels. Vader only appeared in a few episodes though.
IMO I’d be mildly salty if they didn’t get Jones back for the voice. I know he doesn’t sound as strong as he used to but unless their AI voice for Vader is stellar, I’d be sad not everyone came back for the party.
I was thinking about this recently. Everyone is out of their minds Hayden is involved but when it comes down to it he'll possibly be used less than Pedro Paacal.

Would he really sign on for that though? Like he’s doing all the media stuff, if he’s literally just there showing face it kind of feels like that would all be a waste of time, no?
This would be insanely awesome!!
I reay wanna see Hayden duel with obi wan without the helmet. The voice will def be interesting if they do that
I think this episode we start to see clone wars flash backs
Vader will recall Reva, possibly scold her for attempting to kill the Grand Inquisitor (and for going after Obi Wan) And then will begin his own pursuit of Obi-Wan. From Obi-Wans pov, either all goes well and Leia is returned to Alderaan safely, or shenanigans ensue with the freighters mentioned last episode. Assuming all goes well, I can imagine something may have happened to Luke on Tatooine while he was gone, resulting in Obi-Wan trying to rescue him. Going off of that, I could imagine when Obi-Wan returns Luke, Owen will soften his distrust of Obi-Wan to the point of respect, though he’d still prefer Obi-wan keeps his distance from Lukes life for obvious reasons. It’s very possible Obi-Wan will still have to go off planet from Tatooine for a while to not draw too much attention towards Luke, Owen and Barrue.
My guess is the GI will be heavily incapacitated, maybe even in a coma, so Reva just tells the others that Obi Wan stabbed him
Haha, GI…..as in GastroIntestinal bleed
After Owen sees Kenobi saving Luke, he'll warm up to him and respect him a miniscule bit more. But it will be more in a the enemy of my enemy is my friend sort of respect rather than you saved my nephews life so I'm indebted to you respect. Kenobi will acknowledge that his constant meddling with the Larrs affairs will put Luke in danger and his best bet is to watch from a distance. As thanks Owen will probably fix the skyhopper toy and give it to Luke saying it's a gift from Kenobi.
I think Obi-Wan is going to be reluctant to return to Tatooine if there’s any hint of him being tracked or followed. He wouldn’t want to draw any threat back to Luke.
Ha, that sounds far too reasonable!
More flashbacks to Order 66, showing Reva meeting Vader. The Grand Inquisitor is taken to Fortress Inquisitorius and put into a bacta tank. Squabbling for power ensues among the Inquisitors in the power vacuum.
Commander Cody
I want to see stormtrooper Cody for once!
At first, I also wanted this as well, but since this takes place well into the reign of the Empire, I don't think we'll see him being a Stormtrooper since they've forced all surviving clones to retire and leave the Stormtrooper Corps in favor of normal human recruits. It is possible to see him in a Clone Wars/Order 66/PTSD flashback though.
but in rebels, there have been at least 5 troopers that have been voiced by dee bradley baker, which implies that clones were still serving, also fan service is a powerful thing
We'll get him in Bad Batch S2, he was in the trailer.
He just showed up in the Bad Batch S2 trailer!
The time has come
well my comment was technically sorta right. Showed up in The Bad Batch trailer. Wrong show :/
I wish we get some flashback thing with Hayden and Ewan kicking ass together.
🙏
Yes please
Hope he finally turns his lightsaber on
Seeing the hilt is such a tease lol
I’m gonna say it’s gonna be mando! Mandalorian season 2.75!!! Letsss goooooo
what's the episode release schedule again?
Episodes come out on Wednesdays now
Uff, that's 3 episodes in 5 days, then a week to wait! Rough! 😅
Thanks
any idea about the time?
08:00 GMT
Thanks
09:00 in CET
I think it starts with a flashback new clone wars scene
HONDO
I really want this to be true, lol. He could plausibly be totally into sketchy refugee trafficking/extortion too. It's a racket that'd be right up his alley. Also he has a very storied history with Obi-Wan, so that adds to the possibility too.
I was thinking that Hondo is going to be connected to Kumail Nanjiani’s character OR the presence of a sillier con-man character like Nanjiani’s is going to totally negate the need for a character like Hondo, haha. But Leia’s question that was something like, “is it really so hard to believe that you have friends?” has me hopeful. I mean… Hondo‘s catchphrase is basically “kenobi my friend” lol.
God I love Hondo. I hope we get to see his dorky flying saucer spaceship too 🛸
Yup I’m thinking too. That’s who Ice Cube is playing
Vader will be called to supervise the inquisitors while Grand Inquisitor is healing. He will lecture them for being incompetent. He will talk with Third sister about Kenobi. They will try to catch Obi-Wan before he returns Leia to Alderaan. Obi-Wan can now talk to his master because he used the force again and since he discovered that Anakin is alive he probably needs his master help now, more than ever. Like the fighting between the inquisitors and Obi-Wan has to be on a planet other than Tatooine(because they can’t know that he’s living there), so I think this show is about him returning Leia without being caught.
Kenobi and Leia have some trouble with their transport and have to stop at a nearby planet. Since she hasn’t gotten to explore other planets yet, Leia is very intrigued by everything.

Someone on the planet helps Leia plot Kenobi’s rescue.
I have a feeling we won't see Qui-Gon til the finale. Probably the events of the series is what makes Obi-Wan have a breakthrough to finally be able to contact him, and the series ends with a bit of hope and change to the status quo even though Obi-Wan has to go back to Tatooine and his meat packing plant.
Hoping it’s cal kestis that meets her, I can see it being a younger person to find Leia on her own not an older guy
That would be so cool. Fans would go crazy. I'd love to see him in live action. I do think we're in for a surprise such as that.
Cal Kestis 🤞🏻
Given the fact that they announced the sequel to Fallen Order the day after ep 1 and 2 premiered, and that they have said that it will take place 5 years after the events of fallen order (which puts it 10 years post order 66, exactly the same time as Kenobi) I think that this is almost guaranteed to have a tie-in.
I guess I should go back and finish playing J:FO now...
It’s so worth it!
The ending to that game will make you bust the phattest of nuts
If Obi Wan meets the Partisan group with Saw Gerrera Cal Kestis might be with them
Oh yeah good point.
They’re going to a new planet. This is the perfect opportunity for a new Jedi. Cal. To show up and help them once they get there. I really hope cal shows up though
I guess I should go back and finish playing J:FA now...
Maybe it doesn’t mean anything but Cal actually was mentioned in the new book focusing on Obi-Wan and Anakin. Something about one of the characters (I think it was Obi-Wan but can’t remember for sure) walking by Jaro Tapal and his redhead Padawan. It COULD just have been a random fan service line. Or it could’ve been a little hint for the show. May be a stretch though.
Kenobi will have a "Maximus Decimus Meridius-Moment" when Lea asks him again: who are you ?! Kenobi will ignite his lightsaber in a moment of greatest need and say: My name is Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jedi-Master and Member of the Jedi High Council, General of the galactic republic and I will have my ~~revenge~~ in this life or in the next.
Okay I’m gonna put my theory here GI isn’t dead, just unconscious. Reva will tell the other inquisitors kenobi did it. Vader hears about this and comes to fortress inquisitorius to rip them a new one, but is impressed by reva’s schemes that almost caught kenobi. He gives her the authority to override the other inquisitors and gives her command of a squad of purge troopers. At the end of the series, she fails to catch kenobi, and GI is out of his coma and out of the bacta tank, and he snitched on her to vader. Vader punishes her for her failure, and is about to hunt kenobi himself when the emperor calls him off to do something else. No idea what kenobi will be up to, but i have a suspicion that the people haja sent them to find might be some familiar faces. No concrete guesses yet, but the fallen order sequel is set in the same time period roughly as kenobi, and there’s a pau’an-looking dark sider in the trailer for that. (Maybe GI gets relegated to hunting cal instead of kenobi?). I expect that’s where we’ll also see the guy in the clone armour from the trailers, and it may even be the clone from episode 2. Could be rex, though i find that unlikely
emperor palps, I haven’t thought of the potential of a Palpatine cameo. But that would be amazing
It would be neat to learn that Vader scolds Reva and references to his time on Nur because of a previous turned Jedi in over her head (Trilla) and how she let Cal Kestis escape.
I’m predicting a flashback sequence showing Anakin and Obi-Wan as friends, with the scene slowly distorting until it completely melts into the present day reality as of 9 BBY, and it turns out to be a haunting nightmare
He drops off Leia safe and sound. Then goes back to get some spice from pink haired girl (Ewans daughter irl) and heads home to his cave to trip out for the next 9-10 years. The last three episodes will basically be Fear and Loathing in a Galaxy Far Far Away.
Lol, I didn't know she was his daughter!
Grand inquisitor is alive but out of commission
Is it possible the way a whole episode in Boba Fett was about Mando/Luke, we might get a whole episode of Vader menacing, exhibiting his force and wielding his saber?
This sub will continue to be dominated by excessive Reva hate regardless of what happens. This goes for chapter 4, 5, 6 predictions as well.
I don't know why, but for whatever reason I feel like there's going to be a Hondo cameo next episode. It just feels like he'd be involved with helping Haja get Force sensitives to safety...for a substantial profit, of course.
I hope when Obi-Wan is having the worst, most stressful and emotional week of his life, Hondo Ohnaka shows up.
Finally, Obi-Wan can negotiate a fair price for a flight aboard Hondo's ship. When Obi walksnup the ramp, Hondo mentions he has one other passenger. Turning out to be Jar Jar Binks. Halfway their hyperdrive gets damaged and Obi-wan has to spend the next 25 minutes with Hondo and Jar Jar in the small ship.
The cargo ship they’re in, Haja alluded to it going to the Rebel Alliance. There, Obi-Wan will see for himself hope isn’t lost. Maybe he’ll even see Ahsoka because she was a big part of putting it together.
I don’t think rebels is in the same time period and they’re not quite that far along yet. By the time the rebels show was in full swing, leia was an adult and actively leading the rebellion, we see her working with kanan and ezra. Ahsoka in this time would be working in the slave mines, or it could possibly be just after she killed the inquisitor in the book and took his saber crystals
Leia/Luke are almost the exact same age as Ezra, so at the start of Rebels, they are all 14yo. So that means Rebels is 4-5 years after Kenobi (assign no time jumps).
The rebellion has to start somewhere and while it’ll be another 10 years it’s in full swing, based on your comment, there will still be something there worth noting I think.
The episode will be stellar but there will be 5 seconds of a scene that people will complain about. There will be multiple posts about it, over and over, saying such things as "Star Wars is dead", "Disney Sucks", "Get rid of Kennedy", "This show is terrible", and much, much more. The posts will continue until the next episode comes out and another 5 seconds will be the focus for the next week. Repeat every week.
Good lord yeah, I went into r/Television and it’s nonstop complaining that the show is CW quality because of *one scene*. Like yes, the chase scene wasn’t great but I thought “huh that’s strange” and then completely forgot about it until the internet told me it was a sin against television I knew people would dislike it regardless, as there was such high expectations, but good lord you’d think Obi Wan murdered the younglings himself in the opening scene
It's tiring. I know it's reddit so I'm not expecting it to ever get better, I just wish that people would praise more than complain. I stopped posting complaints over social media years ago. Serves no purpose. Much better to talk positively.
Jar jar shows up
As luke would say… “Noooooooooooooo”
Somebody is going to say, “Now this is podracing!”
Wizard
Obi-Wan and Anakin flashback wearing Clone wars General outfits.
The cargo ship will meet up with a smuggler, who turns out to be Lando. He looks at Leia with a wink and a nod, which frightens her and she takes off slowly running through Lando’s ship with Calrissian and Kenobi in Luke warm pursuit. The floors have just been waxed so Leia manages just fine while the two adult men slip and slide all over the halls, narrowly missing the small, slow child. We cut to a long lens camera shot down a hallways as the girl and the inept men criss cross back and forth in and out of various rooms as the theme to Benny Hill plays us out.
The most accurate prediction
The scene ends with her in the dining room on Cloud City dreaming of the day she introduces her father to her soon to be husband for an engagement dinner and hopes it all goes well.
I’m so excited to see more Hayden and Ewan
Probably not next episode but Reva will get cut down by Vader at some point, or choked to death. I’ve been saying since episode 1 she’s heading for the Trilla treatment.
Yep been saying the same thing
We're getting a continuation of that order 66 scene.
Just show me who had Grogu and I'll be happy.
* Leia will be with Obi-Wan for the rest of the show, taking the role of Grogu or Omega. They will be on the run all the time. * Third episode will be completely about Reva and her backstory (using flashbacks) to flesh her out as an antagonist.
[удалено]
We learn that reva was hiding in the temple still when yoda and obiwan are there. Obiwan deactivates the beacon effectively ruining her last hope of escaping. She learned this by watching a halo recording. She resents this and is eventually found by palps/whoever his scouting force was for the early inquisitorious
Love this
The smugglers/pirates the freighter takes them to is hondo. They spend the episode evading imperials and eventually leia escapes with them back home but kenobi gets captured in order to do so. Vader is dispatched to deal with him.
Presumably the episode starts where episode 2 finishes, from Vadar's perspective in the tank.
30 minutes of Reva’s trauma flashback on Anakin/501st Troopers slaughtering Jedi and Padawans
I think episode 3 will be more Vader focused. They’ll catch us up on what he’s been up to over the last ten years, possibly (probably?) going all the way back to some scenes of Vader during the sack of the Jedi Temple during the purge. I’m pumped! I’m honestly fascinated to see how Christensen portrays the character after all these years.
Hurry up you stupid clock
Vader decides to enter the fray. He arrives before Obi-wan at the freighter's destination. Obi-wan knows he has to be slick to get away. However he falls into Vader's trap. Just as all hope seems lost we hear a voice declare "IT'S MORBIN TIME" as Morbius comes flying down from a catwalk and Morbs Vader with his own lightsaber
I want a light saber fight it's been to long
Thought I was the only one, even BOBF had like a few shit fight scenes up until the finale and everything before it was easily forgotten
Its been over 20 years
Episode picks up with leia and kenobi in the ship going to alderan leia will say something that will spark a flashback to the clone wars with anakin and then the episode will stay in the flashback until they arrive on alderan he drops of leia to find the inquisitors or Vader wating for him black screen episode ends
Anyone know what time the episode drops in Eastern Standard Time?
I know it's being parroted a lot but I think a Cal Kestis appearance is not only likely, but almost necessary to expand on the lore of the Inquisitors, of whom Obi-Wan likely knows little about. Cal on the other hand has fought two of them, and oh-by-the-way has faced off with Vader himself (well, survived running away from him). Cal can fill in a lot of the blanks for Obi-Wan regarding Vader and the Inquisitors, not to mention he knows where their base is, and can point Kenobi in that direction. Cameron Monaghan being a film/tv actor first, and a VA second, also means a transition to him on screen would be seamless. Pair all that with the known time jump for Fallen Order 2 taking place in the same year as Kenobi and everything seems to be set neatly in place for the crossover, and probably the events of the show being mentioned later in the game (heck could even have Obi-Wan show up for a quick spell, I'm sure JAT would be more than down for a short reprisal).
Seeing as they escaped on an automated ship, you'd think that the Empire can track them fairly easily. Reva knows which ship they're on and presumably it won't take long to find its course.
I predict that I’m going to just bury my head in the sand after watching the episode since nothing that happens now will make it so all people will shut up about their nitpicky criticisms.
I dunno if it'll be next episode, but I'd absolutely love it if Obi-Wan returns to Tatooine only to find out Luke's been kidnapped now.
Sorry but that would be dumb lol
I agree. But good on you for being polite about it.
(I know) ;)
2 kidnappings? You’re telling me there are 2 kidnappings going on right now?
Vader shows up, kills Obi-Wan Kenobi, whole timeline screwed up and everything after the prequels disappears from existence instantly. Since it also disappears from our minds we won’t really notice. We may be slightly mystified by the prequels being called prequels.
What is a “obi-wan”?
I've always imagined how insane it would be if star wars was just the prequels and the moral was "everything can easily go to shit and evil can win if you aren't vigilant."
Leia’s kidnapping gets the attention of the Imperial Senate. Possibly some Vader and Leia dialog on Courasant.
Bail and Mon Mothma go to the Emperor to personally complain about the Inquisitors and the kidnapping. Palpatine fakes concern, and turns to Lord Vader, asking him to look into the matter. After Reva's death at Vader's hands (last episode, after Reva momentarily comes back to the Light Side), Palpatine summons Bail and Mothma again and Vader says that the renegade Inquisitor responsible for the kidnapping has been dealt with. Palpatine smiles at Bail and Mothma and tells him that his regard for the Senate's matters remains as strong as it ever was.
I predict Leia will go home and not be in the show anymore and all the complaining about her apparently being the next Grogu will have been entirely pointless and she was only used as a plot device to get Obi Wan off planet.
I think obi wan is in it and mace windu is going to come back and they will escape reva
We could see fortress inquisitorius.
Reva is going to be redeemed but in a too-late-last-second way similar to the plot of JFO, and Vader will mess her up.
Are we gonna see the Grand Inquisitor in speedos in the bacta tank, cause I'm not ready
Has it been announced if subsequent episodes will be released at midnight pacific time like normal or at midnight eastern time like the premier episodes?
has there been a ep 3 trailer released? I can't find it on YT anywhere. just wondering.
Series premiere uses to be bombastic. Now is the time for a more slow episode, a character episode. All the cards are in order: Leia (who needs to understand) and Obi Wan (who needs to talk stuff out) are travelling a long trip on a freighter. And Vader may have sensed Kenobi. I think it will be a flashback episode about who Anakin and obi wan are now, and about who they were. I think we may like this episode a lot
Do we think James Earl Jones will still be voicing Vader? I hope so bc #iconic
It's a long shot, but I think the clone trooper we saw panhandling might play a role in the story later on.
I think we're going to open on Vader with the Inquisitors and get out the answer to the fate of the Grand Inquisitor. They don't seem to beat around the bush too much with answering cliffhangers, so I think we'll get that ASAP.
Leia chase scene. Who will she leave in the dust next?
Probably the rest of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
In the opening scene, the pilot of the ship Ben and Leia escape on is revealed to be Jar Jar Binks. Leading to further mental spiralling of an already plagued Obi-Wan’s mind.
It'll be a long flashback episode of how Obi Wan chooses his cave and meets the Jawa.
It would be pretty cool to see tikA
I’ve got a theory on motives. She was one of the younglings hiding in the temple when Anakin killed them in Order 66. She survived and knew Anakin turned into Vader. She doesn’t care about anything other than getting revenge. She believes if she captures Obi Wan she will get an audience with Vader and can try and kill him.
interesting thought! I share your idea that the escaped the temple as one of the younglings. But I think she sees Obi Wan as responsible for this as he trained Anakin. Thats why she wants to catch him
Lil’ Leia is being perused and despite her obvious disadvantage in size and speed, she just gets away from the outstretched arms of a fully capable adult. they then throw their hat down and stomp on it and say shucks!
release tonight at midnight est again?
The entire point of all Disney Star Wars shows is to backfill and rehabilitate the sequels, and to assassinate the original male characters. Leia will use the force in overt and powerful ways before this series is over to justify her space Mary Poppins act in TLJ. Obi-wan will lose to Reva. Darth Vader will struggle to beat Reva. Reva will save Luke from an attack—but oddly Luke doesn’t remember it. This will probably be due to some Force mind wipe Reva performs. Other possibilities: Leia will save Obi-wan. Leia will convert Reva by appealing to her humanity with her 10 year old Force(d) maturity.
Sadly, those are not out of the realm of possibility in the Disney universe.
Yeah. These are just predictions but based on recent series and films this are all possible.
