No, you can hear us right now. No, no, that was what are we? Some kind of EFAP minis number 60. What are we, some kind of converter podcast? Well, as you can tell, the atmosphere is fiery right now. Well, we can start off on. I would like to comment very lightly on this non sequitur of a thumbnail where they have his face over the tweets. And it's like the tweet is nuzzled up underneath his chin. And he's just like, hmm, he's very it looks very strange because they went through the trouble to add a little shadow and then making sure that people can see this for the literally opening seconds of the finale. Many of us are like, by the way, this goofy thumbnail. Yeah, nothing at all against Elio and news. I just noticed the thumbnail and I thought it's awkward that they put a lot of effort into putting this tweet beneath his chin and have the shadow. And he's like, he's resting his chin on it like it's a comfy pillow. Also, I can't read it point. Yeah. What's the point of having to tweet that? I can't see who posted that. What it says, like it's a it's an odd creative choice. There's a lot of effort to put in for something that's not. Yeah. A lot went into that thumbnail between the lighting of his face and the shadows and all the stuff behind it. Yeah. What do we have a tweet in your thumbnail? You got to really you got to choose whether or not that's a battle you want to fight. All I know is that there's a tweet involved. Decapitate it by the tweet. Oh God. The blade of a sword that's just being held on to his neck, you know. Yeah, exactly. There's an artistic quality to it. If the tweet is like cancelling him, you know, what about that? This is one of the starts of episodes where I have to question myself. I'm alive right now. Like, wait, where am I? What do we do? I mean, no way. I was going to say, yeah, welcome to the final episode of Kenobi. Yeah, that's right. Two hours from now, you're going to wonder, gosh, what was it today that they talked about that weird thumbnail? Or was that just even happened? Was that happening? Is that just a fever dream of my mind? After watching this show that I just imagined them talking about that? I think there are a lot more fever dreamery things on EFAP. I'm not going to try and say that. Like, I'm just remembering the thing that feels most like a fever dream from all of EFAP is the animation of Charles Dance playing Martin Luther King. I remember that. That was good. Good times. Feels like the fever dream of 150. Yeah. Almost a year since that was broadcast to the world from EFAP. Crazy. It would seem because we just saw the results of the premiere of episode five of the mini.  Crazy. I know. Stop. Now, as for six, I've heard a lot of different things. It does seem like it's getting positive reception. It's going to do a lot of fan stuff is that that's all I've seen. It's just to give you an example. That's pretty non-spoilery. He's going to say hello there. I was so proud of them that at least they didn't do that. But I knew that they were going to be surprised by that personally. It's the longest one.  What I'm looking forward to is really unimaginatively staged fight scenes that are probably going to be done on just a flat open ground in poor visibility because that seems to be the hallmark of Deborah Chowh for some reason. She's an incredible action director, I have to say. She's priced on a bike.  Even Ryan Johnson had enough. He made some sense to put a little bit of visual flare into his fight. He's an action scene that passes everyone's smell test. You have to break down the thrown room fight to be like hang on a second. He manages to get the grand scale, but it's like choreography is what everybody rips into that one for. I've just realized now that I'm pretty sure like the vast majority of the fights that have happened with lightsabers in like the Disney stuff is on flat ground like with no vertical at all. Yeah. There's nothing for people to very use in the environment. They can't like follow off ledges or anything. They can't use or to Cali. There's just the big fight with Kylo Ren Ray in the water place. That was amazing. Yeah. Cause that was flat. It just was moving. It was flat. They bring that from one flat location to the other flat location. Yeah. They do jump across. That you are. You don't need it to be like Mustafar level of insane. You can you can do what they did in the O.T. Where it's just someone's. The best. On the stairs or. Yeah. Well, that's been a good example. But I mean, even in the fight in the front room, they had verticality where they're up on higher platforms and stuff more. There was a little bit of verticality. And then there was that element with the closing doors. Just variables that make the fight a little bit more dynamic, you know, I want some like environmental hazard something to make it more interesting. What if we tip out a load of stuff and then light it on fire? No. Oh, yeah. That sounds like a perfect solution. Can it be about, you know, 20 30 feet wide with like easy routes around either side, but nobody does it. Just like the perfect thing that Vader would do. That sounds like 100. You should write these chains on point. Perfect.  I just love the idea that this is going to be some tense fight as well when we know that both characters are alive in the OT. It's like nothing of any significance going to happen. Funny thing is that just because both of the characters are alive doesn't mean necessarily that it couldn't be an interesting fight. It's just that this show doesn't really have any value. The obvious questions will just be like, so you guys can't do any permanent damage to each other. Well, I say that he could chop off both of Kenobi's arms and that Disney could be like, yeah, they were robotic in OT. You just didn't know. I know the stappas. I'm in the God and he'll just put a little bandaid on and be like, oh, maybe one could robot cyborg things. He's, you know, genuinely could cut off all of Vader's limbs and then set him on fire. It's like seriously. I think we talked about this. Vader's going to have to lose this fight. It can't work any other way.  But at the same time, they will take the opportunity presumably to explain why Obi-Wan calls him Darth. Because Kenobi up to this point only refers to him as Anakin or even Vader. It's like, why does he call him Darth? The reason he called him Darth in the OT was because at that point Darth Vader was his name. He was his first name was Darth title. Yeah. And so yeah, there may be like some clumsy attempt to try and make it all fit together. I've heard things more. I expect a lot of praise of Leia because this whole show seems to be about like building her up and making her out to be just as important as Luke. I don't even know what they can do with her in this episode. If it's going to be they're running away. Vader and she's going to defeat Vader and Kenobi simultaneously until it's up. Tell you one thing I think we're all ready for is that Riva is going to be taking up a lot of screen time and we're going to love it. You will love her or else or else. And so yeah, before we get into it, I figure we may as well take a little look see about what everyone has been saying in good old on my showcase. Oh, my God. All right. Cut any of this.   I'm not even editing this bit. The scissors on screen right now. Wait. Comment number one. Let's throw it over to good old Fring. You're really building this up. Riva layers message in a new hope should have been general Kenobi nine years ago.   Also feel weird being in common showcase but cool. Well, you're in it for a second time. Yeah, you made it again. Once we get this episode out of the way, we can finally like crystallize that that criticism fully because whatever journey she shares with Kenobi. This will be the last of it. It's already pretty bad. Jay, you got this one.  I'm so sorry. I don't see any shields.  They didn't fortify their defenses after that critical oversight. Is this referencing Jedi? All in order. All in order. The water I've been told because I didn't play that campaign.  There's a line someone about the shields of that base having to be disabled. I've disabled the shields on the outer sections of the fortress. And this is Disney's Canon by the way. Yeah, it's the same base. I own this game, but I've not played it. I could just I'm going to have to play through all the whole thing just to find the source.  I guess because they were like it'll be too difficult to come up with anything for why they would get the shields down. Can we just say that they don't have any? But why wouldn't they be? It's like because they don't expect anyone to attack. That's good enough. Yeah. Okay. Put it in this like way. But we met a game with us. Not the case like nobody plays video games.  Remove the shields. I once considered installing it and then I didn't. You can't just pull rank on a security officer when you don't have clearance. If an army major showed up at area 51 and told the guards that he outranks them, he wouldn't just get let in. They'd arrest him and convince his identity and then throw him out. No, all he has to say is I'm here on classified stuff. Leave me alone. Because you can't know. That's that's totally how it works. And we'll get you right in. This is what happens when people with absolutely no military experience are required to write military organizations. It's not even military experience. It's just kind of I would do that. Yeah, I have no military experience, but I have seen Star Trek. I could do better than this. That was written by people with military experience. But then, you know, you could get consultants and you could speak to people at least like, is this plausible? Is this how is this how an officer would conduct themselves?   Never fictional world where like, you know, maybe it's a little different. But the whole thing is that all of these the way that officers conduct themselves is based on like logic and like a means to an end. And like they all have a goal. That's why these systems are here. So obviously they're all going to act at least to a degree within accordance to that goal. It's not just going to be like, you're not going to be able to get into a place by going, yeah, I rank you. Let me in. I'm going to tell on you if you don't let me in. Tom says it's my turn in the fortress inquisitorious. I'm not supposed to read the second comment on the screenshot. Wow, that was delayed.  We've already passed another comment. We've already passed another one. Wait. Leia, I am the daughter of Senator Bale Organa and the Empire's number one most wanted criminal. Obi-Wan Kenobi is going to come and rescue me, Imperial secret police officer. Wonderful.  And the show wants us to believe she is smart. What a great scene to set the tone for the remainder of the episode. Yeah, it's pretty bizarre. I love it. She has no reason to even say it, but she's like, Obi-Wan Kenobi is going to rescue me. It's like, oh, damn.  It's just mind boggling. Like this is the kind of thing that turns people against her character. I think most people are just going to try and think of like 10 year old Leia does not lay out. It's fine. Well, this whole show, I think a lot of people like it didn't happen, man.  They didn't. I just can't believe that she knows everything according to Talon. What's that name?  She knows everything, but by the way. Okay. He has no stakes. Forget Ewoks beating stormtroopers to death with sticks. That lady literally planted her head on that stormtroopers helmet and he just insta-died. Yeah, that's a head. You did say head. She planted her head. If she had bite him, that would have been a bit more badass. Okay. But she gently sort of goes. Yeah, there wasn't even a strike there. It was like she grabbed the base of his helmet and just kind of pulled him down and that was it. That was the second one. Yeah.  She grabs his helmet and they both like, you got me. You pressed my off switch, man. It's like you'd think they would at least have decent action choreographers to handle this stuff. Nope. But every single action scene is just garbage and it's like they go with the first take that they do.  Move on. It's interesting because they rely so much on the action and yet they put so little effort into the action at the same time. Yeah. Because it's not even like a slap. It's like she just takes her open hand and sort of. She kind of just puts her hand on his helmet. It's like, you know how you can like drape a cloth over a parrot and convince that it's nighttime? Yeah. I do know that.  I'm going to fall asleep. It's sleepy type for me. That was episode fours. These are episode five mini ones now. These are hot off the presses. Okay.  The use of CGI and nostalgia is insignificant next to the power of good writing is a neat variation of a good old Vader quote. Audio visual terror. You know, that's a good way to describe it. Yeah. Yeah. Well, the CGI isn't even that great anyway. Like it isn't. Yeah. It's passable most of the time. And then sometimes you're like, oh, that's pretty good. We'll have a moment of silence for a wait as well.  I was so invested in him. Oh, I think that's a perfect. Emblem of the thought process behind so many of these Disney properties though. It's like a character that's introduced and like literally 30 seconds later is dead and you know nothing about him, but there's this big like morning scene afterwards where you're expecting to feel bad for them. We know we learned a lot about Wade. Yeah, it's like emotional attachment. That's what they want. It's like they don't want to put any work into it. It's just here feel bad about this character. Okay. Now it's time to move on to the next thing. I can't wait for like the Wade like trading card to appear in some game somewhere because that's 100% going to happen. He's going to get his own spinoff. Give it time. I'm going to get a pretty cool series. I think they like doing spinoffs for characters that we that have like a confirmed death that's like not that high stakes, I guess, although it's fair, you know, you know, well, the dark side is the pathway to many abilities that someone considers to be on that trial. Well, who knows, you know. God, Wade, what have you not told us? We only know the tip of the iceberg right now. There's a lot to unearth. Yep. Here is your problem. Someone said this thing's evil. Yep. Here's your problem. Someone said this thing to evil. I love you. As I expected, Riva's motives make no sense. She saw that Vader killed her friends. Therefore, she is angry at Obi-Wan who trained him for not saving her. Why didn't he just say I was on Utapau attacked by the clones and therefore she serves Vader, hunts all remaining Jedi, tries to kill them, chops hands off and tortures a child to find the rebels. She is a horrible person and I cheered when she was stabbed. But then she left. Damn it. It does seem just absolute nonsense. Like there's just nothing that makes any sense at all.   All of that was written and approved. And then put into production. Riva was like, where were you when the clones attacks?  Well, couldn't it have been neat for Obi-Wan to be like, where were you when Leia was being tortured? Oh, right. You were torturing her. She'd be like, hey, that's different. No, that would require Obi-Wan to have her come back to something and that's clearly not allowed in this show. He just kind of takes everything that's thrown at him. Kenobi is like a bad concept spread of a too much bad execution. Pilibus baganius. It's so nice to see the Bilbo memes. It's still alive and well. Classic. Those are some old school memes. Good and may mace. I do like as well if someone said like, you know, Kenobi's a good idea. It's just badly executed. Like, no, it's all just horrible. It's really not. Yeah, it's terrible. Should never have been made. The people who suggested it should have been fired on the spot. No question. I want revenge on Obi-Wan for failing to protect all of the Jedi. I'll get my revenge by helping Darth Vader kill all of the Jedi. And then I'm dead. Genius. Hey, it's subversive. Okay, no one saw it coming. Which is funny because everyone saw it coming. Yeah. Maybe they disappointed that. Like, oh, I thought that idea was great. Damn. I love how close Vader was to finding out he had kids. If only he looked to his freaking right. If he had seen that little transceiver picked it up in like Belogana Children. Owen. Owen. Tatooine. Oh, no. Don't worry, it's fine. I love how that message how it's kind of garbled and corrupted and it just happens to play the most like useful bits of information it could possibly display. I'm just surprised how not durable that thing is. Just falls down once and just the transmission just breaks. It isn't half as durable as Riva is. Yeah. And it's crazy because let's pretend she actually gave it to Vader. That's not going to happen. But if she did and then and then she's like, see, Belogana is evil. We need to use a traitor. He'd be like, yeah, we know that already. All the stuff is happening in the season. We know that already and we're going to take him in for sure. But this show doesn't seem to believe that at all. The Star Wars character receives a death blow, but they're mildly upset. Oh, no. Anyway. Oh, no. Poor Qui-Gon.   He had a weak stomach. He was just lying there for hours. Nobody helped him. Granite, I thought you were dead. I was. I was. I like the title of this as his second stomach called 9-1-1 and the paramedic revived him. I think to finish it off is just the classic. We did bring it up, but I mean, how can you not? Has a grenade to kill all the stormtroopers since the beginning.  People have died anyway. Yeah. And then even else, uneffectively or ineffectively. Oh, it's so painful because that's often a trope that you see in movies and stuff is you have a very some force off in the bad guys have a very powerful weapon, but they use that weapon not at the beginning to open the fight where it will be most effective. They'll use it when they need to have like a in-fight low point. So then the bad guys will use it. It's the same. Yeah. Your second win thing, right? Yeah. Oh, no. Well, firing our mega death raise quite expensive. So let's send in a whole bunch of our troops first and letting it slide. Like, I didn't work. Okay, bring it out. Would have been great. If you would use the big gun first, could have saved a lot of time and effort when you say that, right? Because they did open with the big gun, trying to break open the barrier in that episode. And it turns out the lightsaber could have just done it instantly. So yeah, that was mind boggling. That was amazing. Remember how she said they could hold out there for days? But that was apparently not my days. I mean, maybe maybe a few minutes seconds, even she literally cuts it and opens it.  They were completely confident that they'd be able to fly away in their ship if they could just get the hangar doors open.  The moment the door is opened, it's like, nah, nah, no TIE FIRE or nothing. It's not in the scene, so it's not there. So anyway, are you guys ready to watch the end of Kenobi? Yeah. Let me use the Lou real quick and we'll start. I'm not going to permit you to use the Lou rags. I was gonna say you just left. You didn't even wait for me to approve that? Wow. Yeah. The chip reports are for Rags. Come on. Oh. So it has to be approved by you, the primary host, as it's on your channel, and me as the manager. Well, and Metal as well, because he's going to drink it, so. Wait, wait, what? Nothing. I didn't say nothing at all. That was a secret, goddammit. Now everybody's going to hear it. He he he he. Can't wait for the Metal purse memes. That's going to be great. Rags didn't mute himself. We're just going to hear him shitting in the background. Ah!  It's so sharp. Yeah. It's so sharp. Ready to have my socks knocked off. Rene's not got his socks on. All right, we can wait for that. I'm good now. This is it. I also do not have socks on. I don't have socks on. I do have socks on. I don't know if this changes the dynamic. Slot. I've got them on. Of course. Seems like an even split, sort of, of socks, so. I could take one off. I think that would help. I don't have any guns or tracers though. Hmm. That's for the best, I think. I don't have any more tracers on. All right. Three, two, one, go. I missed. Big dung. Big tin of nuts. Got them done. You only missed the button. We need to try that again. What you actually did. So what happened was like you started the countdown and I was like, oh right. And I like had to like desperately move forward and grab the mouse and in that time you'd go to the end of the countdown and then I rapidly moved towards the button with the mouse, but I wasn't able to hit it. How did you think this was worth telling that? Yeah. You need to do it. Some people that like if we spent like an hour lining up for a group photograph, you would have it on selfie mode or something. Like instead of saying I misclicked, you feel the need to explain every part of that. Here's the nature of my misclip. Go. Where is he? We did it. Where is he? Where is he? Kenner Bay. Kenner Bay. Kenner Bay. Do not use any of our orbital cannons or the store destroyer. Lock down the facility. Remember when we used to have subtext in scenes? No. Like you didn't have to literally spell everything out. Look, okay, that was like a decade ago. Maybe several. It is legitimately interesting how long you could just stand in front of a massive group of stormtrooper shooting at you and just not instantly get destroyed by many, many shots. It is genuinely the thing I wonder if you had that many and they all shoot once at the same time. Is everyone dead? Probably. I think even if we assume in the back that was a ship, I don't think that checks out like from the position. No. Well, he let it go away. There's a lot that doesn't check out about that scene. Yeah. It's just so much. Revenge does wonders for the will to live. Don't you think? Oh, my love to be back in this episode. You know what I love seeing in shows like this as well is like people using force pirates and abilities that they absolutely can't use like 10 years later. Yeah. One of the things I forgot. So people discussing was like will Kenobi finally fight the Grand Inquisters and I was like, I don't know if there's enough time. Yeah. I don't care. It's more so just about trying to see if you can figure out what kind of narrative they're going to run with. Was that a shell? I thought there was a sink in there at one point. Yeah. A shelf in a sink. Star Wars. That's what we were at with Star Wars. I don't know if it's a shelf. Like a sink. The Star Wars shelf. I just want them to do that. It's just inside of a room from the Star Wars hotel. Yeah. Yeah. They need to put like just a fork in there at some point. Ray, we're back. We're back on Tatooine. No, this is actually good. I'm glad we're back on Tatooine. Well, to be fair, Kenobi ain't going to be here. This is going to be Owen, right? There's a key for the water. Was this the meat guy? That guy's rude.  It's so baffling that the one show that should have been entirely on Tatooine is the one that wasn't. She's here already? Already here. Okay. She put on a... What spaceship was available for her? She's got a blanky so that she's... That'll do it. Yeah, you're right. What ship did she use? How are you alive? Well, yeah, that's a fair question. Yeah, we've outright skipped all of that. She's on Tatooine now, and she's nearer.  Oh, boy. Sniper team, all right? Sniper team. Now they remember the Star Destroyer. Sniper team. To be fair, they said at least that they're being chased. That's all. That's not good enough. They're dead. They're destroyed. Yeah, they should stop them. Use your tractor beam. Use your typewriter.  They'll be wearing many, many fannins. The 10-4 was captured. It wasn't like... Like, this is... What is going on in their empire? And that was a rebel military ship, essentially. Oh, man, they seem pretty confident about their escape, even though... They really shouldn't be. Yeah, pretty sure as well. It's a miracle that you're not destroyed now. Power couplings are bad. I'm working on it, but those shields won't last forever. Oh, it lasts forever. They shouldn't last, like, 10 seconds under that kind of point.  This would be equivalent of, like, a battleship today, like, blasted away at, like, a fucking... A little warbark. ...with all of its guns. And they're like, Well, can I take this for more than a couple of days? It's like they've forgotten that the Falcon tried to escape through an asteroid field. All right? It wasn't just... We'll just float around them for ages and hope. And, like, who knows how long this has been going on for. You can see the misses going past the window. Explosions. Yeah. Everyone should be shitting their pants right now. I should borrow her, too. Yeah. I really feel like this isn't the right tone for the scene. Oh, all right. We're done with that. Yeah. Yeah, there's Owen. All right. A siege to a star destroyer is something that, you know, that's a multiple scene affair. I've forgotten about him. Remember Luke Skywalker or anybody? Nah. Nope. Man, he's got a grand future ahead of him. Owen, there's something you need to know. Wait, if they're warning him about Riva, he's fine. He'll just leave. You know this plan makes sense. He just described something in the show as making sense. Yeah. You are the future. You're what needs to survive. No. Violet. You need to be given space.     You must promise me that you'll get her home, Haja. You have my word. He's entrusted the care of Leia to this guy now. Yeah. That's just, okay. The guy who he called an outright liar in episode three and hated. Because he saw him as a scam artist. Well, that too. Yeah. That was his gig. They should be leaving. The Empire, if you're told a Sith is after you, then you need to leave. You've got to get out right now. There's not even time to pack tiny gifts. Oh, I know she's coming. Ben is gone.   A veil. We need to take Luke and hide somewhere. Where? I'm not in the desert. I'm not leaving my home. What?  It's your life woman. I'm not putting anyone else in danger. You need to leave. Where enough? No, you're not. You are literally two civilians against a Sith.  What are you doing? You're fucked. Why is what? They're trying to make her out like she's the tri- What?  She'll come when the suns go down. Best we got position now. What? Why do you know that? Why would she do that? I love what's happening. I love where she just includes him. Okay, wait. Can we pause? Because my brain's exploding.  He's already established.  I'm Bru and Uncle Owen have both just been ruined. There's so many layers to this that are rocked. Like I said, my expectation is they must have had a failsafe in place.  The second they have any reason to think he knows, they have to leave Tatooine. That's how it works. That isn't the failsafe. Okay, so what is it then? He's like, hide in the desert. It's like, ugh, I'll accept that even though it should be. That's something. Yeah, but then she's like, no, we're better in our house. Excuse me?  Like, this woman needs to be stopped. Like, Owen, you need to tell him. We have a gun in no sense. They don't know what kind of force she's bringing with her either. Like, there could be like a Legion of Stormtroopers right behind her. Yeah, we would assume. In fact, we know it's just her. Presumably. I mean, she's been kicked out. What's been told is there's a Sith lady who's been asking questions and is looking for Luke. Yeah, which means the Sith know, which means you compromise. You have to leave Tatooine. That's just, you have no choice. What reason do you have to think that she hasn't told anybody else like in the Empire about what she's doing and who she's looking for? What an insane scene. Like, our characters just conclude the best defense we have is to just allow her to come and we'll shoot her with our blasters. I think this is a pretty prime example of trying to get the scene over and done so quickly that people don't have time to process how dumb it was. That was, like, 30 seconds. It was all done just to give her that little hero moment because I guess she's not had any real screen time in the series. Well, he suggested running away and putting friends in danger. What an awful plan. She's the heroic idea of we'll stay here, we'll fight her, and we will win. It's like, what? How can nobody in this show ever have conversations about, like, utilitarianism or anything or consequentialism, you know, in terms of the nature of what you were trying to protect, that it's kind of more than just Luke. It's like, any and all hope that the future will be better for everybody. There's no conversation about how big the stakes really are. It's all nothing but an appeal to emotion. Like, a character can make some impassioned speech about literally anything and everyone around them will just go along with it immediately.  Nobody ever has a counter-argument that we know that they would have. It's really annoying when you watch a story and there's this obvious answer to what someone said, and the show just will not let anybody say it. They'll try and repass as quickly as possible.  When everybody who's watching knows what the real arguments are. It's a five or... They're going to make another story. They're going to make another series called Baru, and it turns out that she's actually a Sith hunter. She was a Jedi the whole time. I can't believe... She's killed many Siths. She's the real hero.  I never got the impression that there was a close call when he almost... Do you believe that Aunt Baru and Uncle Owen defended their house from a Sith attack at some point? No. It would be a very normal life for 19 years. Everything was normal. It was completely uneventful. Did you catch as well that she blames him for Obi-Wan not being here? Excuse me.  The whole reason she knows that Obi-Wan isn't here is because Owen just said he's not here. The implication being I tried to find him.   I have with Obi-Wan and Bael. Like, thanks, guys. Thanks a bunch. Like, yeah, I had to find a Sith in Quizno.  They'll be like, oh, man. They should never, ever, ever think that it's safe to be in Tatooine now. No, of course not. Yeah, we can't stay here. We'll have to leave. They've been found. And it's like, yeah, but we don't know if she told any other Siths. Exactly. We don't know. So we're not gonna stay here. It would be very reasonable to assume that she did tell someone else. Of course. Why would she not? Well, because she's a rogue element, but that's rare. Yeah, and that's our knowledge. That's not theirs, you know. They could learn all that over the course of this episode which would excuse why they don't leave after this. I don't even think that's enough. Honestly, if I were reassured by herself, she says, you know what, I didn't tell anybody. I'd be like, that's great. It's not even a matter of whether or not Riva herself, 100%, would be like, I didn't tell anybody.  There's so many ways they may have found out as a result of you knowing or the fact that you're here. Everybody has seen you here. That's very strange, Riva. I am currently just trying to figure out how bad it is rather than... Oh, it could work. No. It's a catastrophe. I think this is why we need to pause the damage done in, like, a minute. Yeah.  We were shocked when they were in jail. Nobody is safe.   Every O and 2 for going along with everyone in the show gets tainted.  It looks like we've got the rebels are trying to escape.  I can't believe this is the episode, but apparently that's it. This is the end of Obi-Wan Kenobi. This is the end of the season. Yeah, and of course, he's baffled.  He's baffled.  I talked to her. The writers couldn't be bothered doing it. Sorry. You said you'd take me home.   I risked my life for you countless times. But if they have a big moment here, what's hard to do is risk his life for her. Please tell your father I tried. I guess you did.  I have something for you. It's a broken found before we got out. Wait, how? It's the lady's holster. I wear it on the other side. It gives me a faster draw. Can you teach me how to shoot? How do you have that? Also, what are you going to put in there? I guess a gun later. Well, that's the meme, right? Everyone keeps talking about how she's going to become Leia that we all know. It's empty. I wasn't going to give you a blaster, Leia.  Yes, I will come in there. Why do you just say what she does at the OT at this point? Imagine Leia comes back. Obi-Wan's gone. I got this holster. It's just the thing that he had on him. Leia uses blasters in the OT, guys. I don't know if you remember.  I feel like I should have just picked this up and kept this with me. I promise. People have to promise things that they can't guarantee. Why can't you just say I'll try? Why isn't that good enough?  I have to face him, master. Oh, here we go. Wow. Whether he dies or I do, this ends today. No, it doesn't. No, it really doesn't. How did they not think that line would be funny? This ends today. You don't have to do this, you know. We can still fix the drawing.  How many times have these two characters had this discussion at this point? Wasn't this all that happened yesterday? Last episode, I mean. Well, everything runs out of here. Then help us to get her back. You can't quit. I fought for too long. You can't just throw that away. That's suicide. It won't make a difference. They want all of us. Vader wants me. If you surrender, she died for nothing. You want to tell me, are you going to fight without a weapon? There are other ways to fight. You don't have to do this, you know. We can still fix the drive. I have to go. Just keep them safe. It's amazing you're alive. I'm going to upgrade this. There's really not many. Maybe the chances are we're just going to use the force. Why did you do that? I just realized this is the third time that Obi has said I need to stay behind and sacrifice myself so that everyone else can get out. And it never actually happens. Vader could rip apart the hull with the force. No, he can't. That was just to make all the real Star Wars amazing channels go, isn't that amazing? There's the Millennium Falcon and the other ones they're going too fast. Really? Yes, it's the Cope. Last Jedi moment. There's one life form aboard. That's him. You're just in the TIE fighters after it. Uh-oh. My lord, we must continue our pursuit of the insurgents. Both, you have TIE fighters. Just do both. You have loads of ships. Yeah. We cannot prioritize one lone Jedi. He is not just any Jedi. You have loads of ships? Why are you doing this? You have a hangover of TIE fighters. Pursue him in your TIE fighters. Also, I could just shot it. Wow. Follow Kenobi. Wow. Get your own... That's literally the proto-rebellion and it survives because Vader was like, look, there's a little fishy over there. We're not even going to be able to get Kenobi. No, they got it. They literally got. That's so embarrassing. It's the most incompetent military force in all of fiction. I'm actually kind of confused because if Kenobi has hyperdrive, he could just leave now? But if he doesn't, then he's going to get captured. So what's going to happen? Run. No, you're not supposed to run. Running is not what we do. Wait, that's the plan? If these two die, just run? Really?  Jesus Christ. What they should do? They're not doing anything clever like making it look like they left. I can't believe we're gearing up for an on-brew Uncle Owen action scene. I can't believe this is happening. Where are we? Is this a planet? Lucky there's a planet, I guess. There's just a planet here because in space you just run into those. He just said, Oh, he got to the planet. So why didn't you just take your own ship out and chase him while everyone else does the rebel thing? I guess he just got away. The writing just says he got away, and there you go.  It has to be him alone because otherwise the scene will be fucked. Dude, they literally of making the Empire just wait while they have their scene instead of having them chase the rebels. That's amazing. An entire Star Destroyer just sitting up there doing nothing. Indeed you are powerful as the Emperor has foreseen.   Please buy a product. Why did you steal Leia's toys? What's the point? Does he think the track is still active? No, it's not red anymore. Yeah, it's not evil. It's blue and blue is good like lightsabers and red is bad. By the way, in terms of getting us to the point where they can have their big, big duel, it's like, well, there's a planet and then they both landed on it. Basically it. It's like, man, such talent. Oh, here we go. Dude, I want to go in an unbaru to have lightsabers. Why are they not shooting here is probably the best time to Is that your position you wanted to take? Is it bad? Is it bad that I actually think there's a chance they will show her chop those two in half?  That's what I was asking. Why does she want to kill Luke so much? Yeah, because she doesn't know exactly who he is yet, right? She just wanted to avenge Vader. That was her motivation. She doesn't actually want to avenge her. She just did that to get at Vader. She could be our kill Vader's son, but she doesn't know that's who Luke is, right? No, no. And besides, what would that even do to Vader when he doesn't even know? Yeah, I mentioned her just going back to Vader. You had a son. Maybe that's what Uncle Owen asks. He's like, why are you here? And she goes, uh... Dude, she just screams at him. I don't know. If she did actually kill them both and Luke wakes up the next day and Uncle Owen and... it's like they've just locked someone else in. This is our chance for family now. This is our chance for actual dialogue. Come on, you can do it. I wish I could burn you here.  What? You're the one that arrived here. What the heck? I will do what I must. That line didn't make any sense at all. What?  No. Oh, God, here we go. They did the Kenobi stance, though. Yeah, they are a big flat open plane. So underwhelming. Yeah, and the camera's going to be cutting all the time moving around. Maybe if I was invested in this series, this fight seems underwhelming and is like the way it's presented. Sorry, shaky, and I can't see the rules. It's going to be fun. I can barely... That was necessary. But if you can't see, they don't have to work on choreography. The soundtrack is... It's tromb. The problem is that when they're fighting the prequel, the music, man. The music is incredible. Well, they have access to all that music. No. Well, they don't, because John Williams only did the main theme for this show. I was kidding. They probably do have access to it. They probably have access to those songs, though. But they probably still said, like, nah, make a new one, or maybe there was a guy to make a new one. Andrew! A glow? Oh, you had one job. You had one job.  Awesome. Man, you should have positioned yourself that one is on the left and one on the right. Man, they are lucky she's not using the force to kill them right now. And that she's deflected and none of the shots back into them. It's almost like they have... It's almost like they have literally infinite plot armor. Like, they cannot be killed in this game. Every character except Riva has one right now. Pretty much, yeah. Which means Riva's dead this episode. What if Aunt Baru kills her? With her own lightsaber? Whoa, the way he was holding the lightsaber there was a bit awkward.  Was that? We're reading from Wikipedia. After Vader's injuries, his natural strength was augmented by the addition of his cybernetic enhancements. In addition, Vader retained his proficiency in the force to enhance his physical abilities. In the end, he was a more effective warrior than he had ever been before Kenobi had maimed him. Well, strength has returned. Oh, thanks. I held back the ocean a few episodes ago, just so we're clear. But the weakness still remains. Wait, the weakness still remains. Wouldn't you just say the weakness remains? Yeah, that's what's remaining is. It's still there. Did they try to do a pullback to that move in the Phantom Menace there? Well, I slipped. Your feet, your ankles are destroyed. You just got a rock. And that is why you will always lose. How did you know there was a cave there or whatever? How did you know that?  Is he gonna say I have high ground? Oh my god. Oh no, okay. I can't wait for that. You see Kenobi. Darth Vader has high ground. Sorry, what? So Kenobi's dead? Yeah, so Kenobi is dead. Kenobi is a puddle of goo. Did you truly think that you could defeat me?  Did you truly defeat me? You have failed, master. So unfair that they get to have Vader deliver this garbage. Yeah, that's the ending. Oh, credits, nice.  Oh god. Oh jeez. Oh yeah, you should have done that earlier. They really love the boy. If he left him, he would have left. Like he's your own. He is my own. I like that line. That's the one good thing in this whole show, actually. Damn. That swing. He was able to do it. What do you want? There you go. Oh wow. I can't believe Uncle Owen is like taking on a Sith and causing it unironically. Uncle, there you go. She couldn't do any pivot of damage. Oh, we still got our Baru left. Come on, baby, you can get it. She was straight in the face. So you're dead. Oh, she didn't kill either of them. No, she didn't kill her. In case you missed it, he did say what are you doing or why are you here or something, and she said justice. What? I don't even understand. Oh, she's screaming. She's going to get you. So Luke, remember that plan about running away. It's going to actually work. You can just run away. He'll be faster than her because she's all injured. I love that he poked her in a literal way. Where are you? It'll be like the Spider-Man homecoming scene. I am Obi-Wan Kenobi. And I am all the bones. Oh, it's the voices from this season. No, thank you. No, those were into the Sith. There's some, some there. Yeah, you made me another great line. Where are you, Qui-Gon? Yeah, he's got to do it for Leia. Oh, they threw a vision of Luke. It's mainly Leia.  I got some. I'm actually surprised that it wasn't Qui-Gon. That would have been a really good time to bring him. He's about to beat him, surely. We needed Qui-Gon before he beats him. Yeah, of course. We're going to have him. The whole time. It was me that beat him. You have a free hand there. He could have killed him. He could have killed him. How are you winning? Wait, what? Wait, what? What are you doing, buddy? Remember how Yoda struggled?  Darth Vader can handle this. What are you doing? I was flying at you. This was wrong with this. Vader should be able to handle it.  The rocks are made of paper. I think he was breaking him with the force. I don't think so. They were hitting him. God, that's why worse. Vader should be able to force, you know, like, matrix style, stop them in midair. The spaceship's apart.  They hadn't pulled out a spaceship. Remember when Yoda struggled to stop some little rocks from falling on him and he was master Yoda? We gave up with that ages ago. We're in the Rey Skywalker saga now. It's too late because Kirby's got to win now.  It's a role of the Jedi Knight to be special and more spiritual and more intellectual than just a fighter or a superhero or something like that. Yes, he did. He's still doing it. How did it do so much damage? It'll be Haydn Christensen voice soon. How are you not dead from that? Vader's getting... Wow!  Breathy, breathy zones. I guess Obi-Wan's just really dominating now. Yep. We're going to see his face. There you go. One thing I saw written down was that they ripped off Rebels, which is funny. The Ahsoka beta scene. Literally this happens. Ahsoka. Ahsoka. Anakin. So what is the excuse for Obi-Wan not killing Vader going to be? I don't know. I guess we'll find out. Time for dialogue. You okay? I'm in. Boy, that worked out well. Lucky it didn't slice his face off as well. Anakin.  Exactly. He's certainly acting. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Anakin, for all of it. Is Palpatine's name going to come up ever? Thanks for reminding me of what we could have had. I am not your failure. Obi-Wan. You... didn't kill Anakin. Skywalker. The same way...  And my friend is truly dead. There you go. We'll kill him then.  The last time you let him live, that was a horrific mistake. Goodbye. Ah, there it is. No, you're just walking away? You're letting him live? He's letting him live. Obi-Wan, no!  It's all Obi-Wan's fault. You remember what happened the last time you let him live? He just, like, confirmed I'm evil evil. And you just walked away?  Look at the destruction of Obi-Wan. You can never just have, like, one scene that isn't modbed by something. You just can't... I have to say, they were acting. They were acting. I like what they wanted to do there with Obi-Wan.  They did, because he let him live. They even had him say, that you're Darth Vader, you're not my friend. I feel like we could have aimed... We could have aimed better than them just stating at each other. No, of course. No, I want to make it clear. I am only complimenting the acting. I don't like anything else, really. Guys, Riva's trying to get Luke Skywalker. Did she just... Oh, good, yeah, Obi-Wan. Good job, dude. It's all Obi-Wan's fault. Luke Skywalker has been... Someone used the force on him. Actually encountered somebody who used the force on him, yeah. Because of Obi-Wan. How are you going to get there in time? That's not why you can get there. It takes time to cross the galaxy. It takes time to be there in time, that's fine.  We've been doing... We've been doing so many weird time-skips and place-skips. He's going to be there in time. It's so funny, is it?  Look, it's me. It's like me. Yeah, you're not going to kill him. They're going to have to show his...  Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh man! Maybe I'm the bad one. They flashback as well. Why is she doing this? What's... We have no motivation for her to even kill him in the first place. She's not who he is. She's literally... We're seeing her make the decision not to kill a child for no reason. What a great character, Roman. That's amazing.  It's like, isn't that normal?    God, you guys have so much explaining to do to each other. Yeah. Alright, he's not around here. He ran like you told him to. Also, he both are alive miraculously. Yeah, she just kind of pushed us over.    They get visited by stormtroopers, and they get literally incinerated. She carried him back. Is she going to dive or wound? That'll be it. Because nobody can kill her here. There's just...  Right, honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they don't show her die, so that we can be like, hmm, where does she end up? You know, I don't know. If only there was a mod parlor on Tatooine. I found this boy. Explain your arc, Riva, because I ain't following. I'm kidding, by the way.  You will. Guaranteed. People are going to cream over this. They already are. I've only seen bad stuff about this episode so far. I've seen good stuff. Pull him away from her, by the way. Drag him away. Take him away. She's dinged.   She said I did the good thing, right? They're like, yeah, sure. Yeah. She's crying. Kenobi, look after her. Give her a pep talk. We've got 20 minutes to go. That's true. I don't know why you'd want to. Why would you want to? I failed him. He killed Omar and I couldn't do it. What? Oh, she's saying I failed her friends? What? You have given them peace. Not really. They should be really concerned. They probably got stressed, PTSD. They showed up to your house at night and with the red lights. Yeah, kind of. You're pretty evil. You've chosen not to. You've chosen not to become Vader. This is so well done that you can just see what the writers wanted to say. Who you become now and is up to you. She's just going to leave and disappear? Probably. All over. I beg you. All over and die. I don't think that's what's happening here, actually. I think she's fine. She'll get a show. Yes. Oh. Oh. I love how desperate we are to see her die. Oh, she's doing the Kylo Ren thing where it's like, this is my evil weapon so I can't have it anymore. Why is it that people think that if a character has confused motives and keeps changing their mind that that makes them complex? Why is that the interpretation of characters like this in Star Wars? You just said she's free. We both are. She's going to come back. She'll be in season two if there is one.   I'm so surprised we haven't seen Qui-Gon. Maybe he'll be the last thing that we see. Maybe. Oh God, Emperor? Is it Ian? Oh, and I'm pretty sure that is him. Sounds like him. I think he always wants to play this character, right? Oh, and I love him for it. Perhaps your feelings for your old master have left you weak. Kenobi means nothing. Kenobi means nothing. It's like, we know that's all true. You kind of went nuts, alien. Okay, bye. It's just living room. Yeah. It's a flat screen that descends from the ceiling so I can play Xbox. Yeah. Time to hone some noobs. I can play Fortnite with Thor.  We've got to wrap up our Alderaan stuff, I guess. 15 minutes on aftermath.  No. The episode just sort of ended as fast as possible. It was like, hey, here's two fights and now it's over. Literally, I could not envision a simpler ending from where we left off in episode 5. Wow. You didn't do anything. They tried to make it look like she was using a code. That was funny. Time to brush your hair, you could actually do that. Or you don't have to do anything. You could just not do it. By the way, she doesn't even know what those tally marks mean.  You're not wearing those.  This is the scene that she's empowered now. She's going to become Lair in the OT. So of course she has a holster.   I love it.  Those are designed to carry firearms. She's a child. Without knowing the context of why she's wearing it, shouldn't you be like, holy fuck, have you been playing with guns?  Do they let you have a gun on this planet? Why do you have those gloves on and those boots? Thanks for almost killing all of my nosy friends. Was that a holster? You almost killed a whole family. You said there were many ways to lead. I was right. I'm going to do this. I'm going to want to change a few things. 10. You're not doing anything. They cannot resist the nostalgia line. She's so great. More cousins? Not exactly. You left Tatooine again? After what just happened? You left Tatooine again?  Look at that god. Look at this.  There's stormtroopers here. They're looking everywhere for you. Oh god. Can you please just protect Luke for once? Glad to see you too, Leia. I fear for her future. The empire grows stronger. Actually, no true. The empire gets competent briefly. Soon.  Man, this is a very public place. Just to be clear, a lot of people are probably watching this. These gods? You don't know how loyal those gods are? There's two of them. Holy fuck, is that Obi-Wan Kenobi?  Like the people that we kind of actually work for went to him. What do you do now? Not go to Tatooine. That would be crazy. By the way, if ever you refer to me on a recording, make sure to mention we're not friends and that your dad's friend is what I am. When I said before that I didn't know your parents. Careful. Oh. Oh, god. Oh, god. You are smart and funny. Careful. That was from your father. You knew my mother? This is pod racing. He's not going to tell her that Anakin was fearless. And these are gifts from your father. The whole... He gave in to his fear. He's lying. It's fine. You know my real parents? Could you tell me about them? Who were they? What were their names? Okay, you don't have to. See, she's fine. She doesn't want to know anymore. There you go. It's fine. The child doesn't want to know more. That's alright then. That wraps that up in a neat little bow. Will I ever see you again? Maybe. We want to keep the door open for sequels. But we must be careful. No one must know. Or it could endanger us both. That's why I left Vader alive. Well, him saying no one must know that we're friends is probably trying to explain why she doesn't refer to him as a friend. Except it doesn't make any sense still. I'm not upset at all though when he dies. And also her message to him would... Well, so... He's in danger the second she names him on that transmission. It doesn't matter how friendly they are. I mean these two should be in prison anyway. Like all of you guys are fucked. The Empire knows about all of this. I'm just amused that they actually did things themselves like, ah, it sits perfectly in canon. This breaks almost everything. This is so uncannon, it's uncanny. Oh yeah, well dude, considering all of this when he died, Leia should have been destroyed. Yeah, she should have been buried outside. More so than Luke really. There wasn't anything you could have done. This is iconic outfit. Where's Qui-Gon? Has he said hello there yet? Or have I missed it? Because I don't want to be lied to. He best say hello there so I can laugh. The show is going to close on him saying goodbye there.  He's not taking his box with him. Jawa isn't going to steal it. You know Jawa's. I don't want to racially profile, but we know Jawa's. Responsible for 40%. They're not going to talk at all about what happened.  You have no idea. Think of the criticisms. That's the creature that farts and finds the madness. Correct, that is. It might be the exact same one.  I thought you were going to keep your distance.  Wait, didn't you desperately want me to help you? You know you were right. He just needs to be a boy. But that's bad, I thought. Isn't that what was happening anyway? The future will take care of itself. Oh, is this his way of saying I won't try to train him? The only protection he needs now, Owen, is you. Sure, that's true. If anything, we have learned that the Empire could show up tomorrow with everything they know. They're probably on their way. I can't believe they've ignored that. They shouldn't be living here anymore.   The creature, the CGI was not matching itself. That was bad. You want to meet him? Whatever. Oh, God, this is where he's going to do it, isn't it? Oh, this could be it. What are you guys going to say? I'm going to have to use the Simpsons clip if he says it. Absolutely. I'm actually excited, though. Oh, here we go. Say the line. Kenobi. Hello there. Is that the thing? Is that the thing? That's how it ends, wow. You know what? Where's Qui-Gon? I'm surprised. Two minutes left, could happen. But I guess you won't be encouraging him to fight anybody. I thought he would have been an act low point thing. Maybe this could be him training him to force ghost. How could a force ghost train you to access force ghost? Oh, oh, oh. Wow, that's not okay. When he's absolutely not needed anymore. Is it Liam Neeson? They'll be able to get him to force ghost. Well, it took you long enough. Is it? I know. I was always here when we won. We're just not ready to see. Come on, we've got a ways to go. Wait, that's it? Wow, he was in it. Okay then. None of that is meaningful.  That might be one of the key examples of Ki-Jangle I've ever seen. Qui-Gon. Look, it's Qui-Gon. And he said we got to go. Why would you? You had access to Liam Neeson's Qui-Gon. You used it for that. Why? Why? Why?  I said David by mistake instead of Vader. Dove David. Why? Remember when he was alone in the ship? That would have been the time to bring in Qui-Gon. And then when he was buried by the boulders. You could bring in Qui-Gon. We'll put him right at the end. What? And it was your fault I didn't show up earlier. What was the point of that? To dangle Ki-Jangle. But they didn't have to.  I don't understand why you'd waste that.  Like a character arc or something, you know? Fring, I cannot believe. There's so much you could have done with this. We were all convinced he would come in to give Obi-Wan that last bit of pep talk. Because of course that's how stories work. Of course that's what you do. Because of course that's what you would do. I find this show that every... Man, I'm not happy with this. Squandered every last piece. Is there going to be a after credit thing? No. What a waste. It was a waste. You had all the money that you needed. You had everything that you needed. You had everything. And you did nothing with it. You did less than nothing.  Nobody escaped. Everybody in this show didn't... Yeah, everybody who has a story elsewhere has been damaged except for Qui-Kon, I guess.  Like when I said like, oh, it was two minutes left, I was like joking. I didn't think they'd actually just throw him in right at the end. So I think I was like, oh man, I was so sure with that production. Damn. Oops, Skywalker needed a double. It's the most blasie kind of delivery and the most generic dialogue you could give him. It's just like, yeah, I was here the whole time. You just weren't ready. Anyway, let's go. Yeah, it's your fault that I didn't show up. It comes across to me that they didn't know that they were going to get him. And then like after they'd finished writing the whole show, they're like, yeah, no, we got Liam Neeson. So many moments that they could just easily put him in. You could have easily put him into that ship scene. And it would have been. He's a little ghost. It would have been good. Yeah, it would have been, it would have been what could have been the thing to push him to the edge instead of. Oh, so like to be clear, because if anybody out there is just like, well, what could they do? It's like, so why we needed the scene where Qui-Kon, his master tells him, it wasn't your fault. I know you think it was. Exactly. It wasn't your fault. That should be a great part of this show is Obi-Wan feeling a level of guilt and then realizing it's it. You can't do everything. It's not my fault. He was seduced by the dark side.  I need to, I need to focus on the future. I need to move forward. I have a job to do. No time for moping.  I thought that's what they'd set up. So many of these, these little missed opportunities. Like, you know that scene early on when Obi-Wan's walking through the desert and he sees Anakin like in a robe just standing off in the distance, like a kind of ghostly vision of him. It's like, that's, that's kind of cool. You know, you can do things with that. They never did that again. Yeah, they never did it again. It was just like this one little blink of a creative idea that just happened for a moment and then it flickered out. You know, and there's just stuff like that where you have these great opportunities to do something interesting and the show never takes them. I get baffled by their choices to tell stories when some of this stuff seems so textbook almost to me because this isn't subversion where they do it the complete opposite and infuriate you. They're like, instead of that rousing speech that Qui-Gon could give, that would give you an insight into how Qui-Gon felt about Anakin, how he feels about everything that's rolled out and how he feels about Obi-Wan and what their relationship currently is. It's like, no, instead you'll say hi and let's go. Yeah. And you're like, oh, I guess that's not the opposite, but that's nothing. It's nothing. Is this just bait in season two? Like, that Qui-Gon's going to be more heavily involved in season two? If they do a season two, that would be true, but... I know they're up for it. Yeah, there's more rumors now than there were about the season two. Fucking, apparently, Kathleen Kennedy has said if the fads really want a season, is a second...  Pretty sure this show is like one of the most successful shows on Disney Plus, like, period. But that was never in doubt. Like, do they not realize how much people love Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader?   I wish that was the only negative thing I could say about Obi-Wan, but he's like thoroughly ruined now. It was mentioned earlier. What exactly is like the inspiration for the story? You kind of walk away from this show thinking that, like, what was your interest in telling a story about Obi-Wan that this is what we ended up with? It wasn't. Why was this the story you wanted?  And so it's like, what can we build this around in order to get people's interest? We'll just use Obi-Wan. We'll cannibalize the rivalry between Obi-Wan and Anakin. We'll ostensibly make a show that's about them, but really it's about this new character that we've created. She doesn't have, like, that much. She has the normal villainy amount of screen time. If she was a great, well-realized character, we wouldn't be complaining that the show gave her a lot of time as well as Obi-Wan, because it's not like Obi-Wan gets no time. It's just that what they do with him is horrible. I would have frustrations about it if they still had, like, barely any of him time, because I'd be like, what the fuck? Aren't we getting all... Yeah, I mean, in terms of who's driving the action and who's kind of dictating the events of the plot, it does feel like Riva. Like, for the most part, Obi-Wan doesn't have that much agency. He just kind of goes where the plot takes him. And he just reacts to things that happen. So, like, he's not the driving force behind it.  Obi-Wan should never have been, like, the driving force that incites a plot between Revenge of the Sith and New Hope. He should be a reacting force with his main motivation being protecting Luke. Yeah, I mean, he... I guess what I mean is, like, yeah, he shouldn't incite whatever happens, but then once things do start happening, he should at least be able to, like, make decisions and influence the course of events and be proactive if he's not. He should be a very active force in ending the story, right? Like, his entire goal throughout the story should be to end it. The thing is, is that the story itself has very little to do with what is his ultimate mission and that we know is his ultimate mission that was tasked to him in Revenge of the Sith and concludes in a new hope. Well, and then, I guess, goes on until Return of the Jedi, which is about ensuring that Luke can become a Jedi and destroy the Empire, restore balance to the Force. That's, like, his... That's what he's about at this point in time. But the story that they've chosen to tell about him, I can tell the arc is, I'm not competent. No, I am competent. That's, that's, like, the story. It has nothing to do with Luke. We still don't really know why he became incompetent. He's just like, I lost touch, and then he doesn't... Well, if I'm going to be as generous as I possibly can, the Force arc seems to just be, he was cut off from it because he had so many doubts about what he's done and blah, blah, blah.   I'll play the clip. Some things you can't forget, but you can fight to make them better. So, she dies, and so he's got his Force back in full power by then, even before then. So, like, that's the Force arc done. I don't know what it meant at all. But then you've got his, like, his main sort of mental issue comes from the fact that he believes he created Vader. And this episode seals that off.  And it's kind of, like, weird. You just kind of accept that as true. I think that's possible. That might be the worst part of that scene, because that scene's quick. And I was very much distracted by Ewan McGregor doing some fantastic acting, like, showing this heartbroken Obi-Wan Kenobi seeing what remains of Anakin under the mask.  But, yeah, like, his dialogue, he basically gives up on Anakin instantly. He's like, man, you know, you're my friend, I'm so sorry.  I'm sorry, Anakin, for all of it. Yeah. I think that's why I'm going to come in with this, because this will probably be something that gets thrown as a counter is, no, but, like, look at the evil smile that it's not just what he said. It's the way that he looked. That's not relevant to Kenobi, which is who we're judging this from. I know. I just figure it's worth bringing up, because that is the important part is, does Obi-Wan now believe that Anakin is lost to Argon?  Well, to be sure. Every told him he was lost in revenge of the same. Well, so I was going to say, we basically just did that all over again. You have to do more. Yeah. Okay, so what I feel like this scene did was just to try and get back onto canon. It would be like all we knew was I shot a gun, and that bullet eventually ended up in the thing that was in front of me. And then someone introduced a new story that takes place between when my bullet hit a steel wall, and it's like, wait, that can't make any sense, though. It's like, ah, wait until the next episode where I fire the gun again when the steel wall is down and the bullet travels through and hits that.  That doesn't work. That's something that should be a conversation that they should have had in the writer's room.  You know, trying to put in all of these lines or like, oh, lay, you can't let them know that we've ever really interacted before. If you have to ask these questions and insert these lines, it might be worth reconsidering the story that you're trying to tell and doing something that's a little bit more low stakes. Because this one was super high stakes, off the regular stakes. They couldn't resist, though. They couldn't resist that word. They needed Darth Vader. They needed Darth Vader. Yeah, and I think the disappointing part is that I think, I really think that a lot of people would prefer this than the low stakes only on Tatooine because in this case, it actually makes a lot more sense to do that. Really contemplative Obi-Wan story. I don't know that that's what many people won because I get the impression that people were probably thrilled with these scenes of them interacting with each other. The Disney Star Wars fans, they are going to be clapping like mindless seals over stuff like this. Yeah, which is the price of all that. They hit their light papers together. I could see a lot of this, yeah. Disappointing and a little bit. I find it really lame to think that what is really desired in terms of storytelling from Star Wars doesn't go much further beyond here. What we get here. But then again, give it like three months and everybody will turn on this show. That keeps happening with every single Disney thing that's come out recently. Everybody thinks it's really cool when it comes out and then give them a couple of months and everybody turns on it. They start to realize, oh, maybe it wasn't that good.  Maybe this was unnecessary. People are already turning on Doctor Strange. It's only been like a month and a half. And there was so much praise for that film and now it's turned. Yeah. This one is a lot of praise now. It's like give it a couple of months, but then everybody forgets, you know, like the next thing comes out and then everybody gets really excited again.  Like this show did so well and everybody was responding to it really well at the time. It doesn't matter if they don't care about it later on as long as they get engaged with the next thing. Oh, yeah, because the next they'll be caring about something else. Well, it'll be Andor. And I mean, at this point, like Andor is like, yeah. And every single time people get really hyped for that one, it will come out. There'll be some aspects of it that appeal broadly to people so much so that kind of overrides a lot of the problems that may be present in their shows because of course they're not out yet. People will really like it and then give it a couple of months and then everybody sows on it, but forgets that loop. And it even exists. They're already writing the loop. Yeah. They're focused on the high of the new thing that's just come out. So it's fine. It's always, it's their drug. Yeah, that's been like that, you know, ever since the MCU, like rose to prominence and it's going to continue to be that way because it's just it's a really good model. We've seen it for making money. It's a very good model. What's going to say? It's a real service where you just need constant flow of content that people can be. Apply to the same level.   Anyway, once the, if they announced a season two, then everyone will be like, okay, this is hype as fuck. Have you seen the trailer? This looks way better than season one. Absolutely, yeah. This looks way better than season one. They'll be going to different planets. There'll be new drama. Oh, Qui-Gon. They're going to be going on adventures together. That'll be, that'll be great. It'll be old man, Jar Jar. Everyone will get excited. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Even the same seasons, like nobody will just, they'll just, it's fine. It's fine to worry about it.  It's really bad. Isn't it funny though? Like we're now at the realm of pilfering the prequels. Yeah. For stuff to cannibalize. Like that's where we're at now. Yeah. Well, I feel like we've gone as far as we can go now. Like, well, they can do more, but this is, we had Obi-Wan, Kenobi and Darth Vader. We've pilfered the most iconic like representation of Star Wars. Vader and Obi-Wan, the quintessential Jedi, quintessential Sith. They fought two more times. Both were embarrassing. By the way, there really was. I was just, I've been scanning through. You had Kenobi do his stance while saying I will, I'll do what I must. I think it was. The thing he says in Revenge of the Sith, you had hello there. I don't know if you caught it, but the Imperial March played for the last Vader scene. I kept to point it out, but I think I wasn't done enough.  We showed restraint. It's like, no, it's just awkward. All the different scenes you had with Vader that just had like generic Star Wars type music. And then you're like, there it is though, Imperial March right at the end. I am genuinely surprised that they didn't do the Battle of the Heroes thing when they were fighting each other. I'm surprised they didn't pill for that. And they did their own song. None of us doing anything for me though all their original songs. Well, it's because the woman who composed for this, she did the score for Loki. I think Loki has a really cool soundtrack. Oh yeah, I was going to say, I like the Loki soundtrack. I like about that. I like about that show. It's the music. Yeah. Yeah. And then of course, Saigon showing up as well.  Layer is going to be amazing. Layer is so smart. It's definitely the, the meta seeping in because you know where it's going, but the characters at this point in time are where they are at this point in time. So like, you know, you know, you got to keep that in mind. You can foreshadow for sure, but kind of just having characters overtly state, you will be this type of person in the forthcoming, you know, stories in the timeline, you know, yeah, that the fat will be like, Oh my God, this fits in so well. Yeah, man. Yeah, man. Yeah, it's really shallow. When you think about how much they could have done, this is a right era to explore in this universe. Everyone is a ripe character to spend some time with, especially at this point in time. This would be a point in time when you really could have a lot of conflict in him that you can explore. But instead, we use this story as a vehicle to do it. And we didn't spend a lot of time on that at all, because the plot kept getting in the way. What do you think about episodes two and four and five?  Yeah. Obviously the only time that really people are very much paying attention is when Vader and Obi-Wan cross paths. And then it's like, that's right, you really have to ask yourself why that might be. And then what you can do about that. I know we haven't talked much about River, but that's kind of because there's not much to say about her. She's gone over it. She's an awful character.   Yeah, I think that about Kylo Ren. Well, that's... Is it that simple that in Star Wars, as long as your character is confused, that makes them complicated? Dude, everybody... Confusion is a complex emotion that Disney Star Wars fans don't fully understand. I think that's going to something as simple as as long as you show them do something good at the end, then that makes them a nuanced, multi-layered character in their eyes. Yeah. The way this is supposed to work is they appear to have done despicable things on the surface, but then when you dig a little deeper, you realize that they weren't as bad as they made out. Maybe they covered for themselves a little bit. And there was actually another motive behind what they were doing. It's like, okay, fine, that makes a bit more sense now. But with her, it was just straight up, yeah, she tortures people, she murders people, tortures little kids quite happily.   But is this person like a young Jedi in the first episode who is roughly the same age as her? So that would have made him a youngling at the time of Order 66. Exactly. That's actually a really good observation. Yeah, why would she not? Why did Luke break the line? Why was that the stopping point?  I just want to make sure we're keeping this in mind. We have no idea why she's desperately trying to kill Luke. Yeah. So they put her in that position of having the ability to kill the main series character and she doesn't do it. So Luke is literally only alive because she spared him. Was it? That's what they wanted. Was there revenge on Obi-Wan? Maybe. But I don't understand why. What a way to get back at him. He helped her though. But he helped her. He was like, I'm luring Darth Vader to you. That's not what I'm saying though.   I can imagine that conversation in the writer's room because I can see it now. I can see the bare bones of what would have made them think that this was a really good scene without realizing all of the other elements and play in their story that can't make it work. I can imagine them thinking, what would be a really great piece of drama to have in the finale? Oh, well, let's put Luke in danger because we know that everybody's going to be super-invested if Luke is in danger. That'll be a really tense, traumatic moment. And it means that we can have some action with like Owen and Baruch. Which is weird because you know, like, you know everything's supposed to work out a certain way. So it's going to be really tough for you to create tension with me. But they would rebuke like, ah, but here's the thing. We can use that as a parallel for what happens to Revo with Luke. It's perfect. It totally lines up.  It's like, yeah, but what about the rest of the story? What about the other 96%? Yeah, legit. This scene cannot be facilitated by the story that you've created.  And then I thought that was already over enough. But then they have the flashbacks, too. Exactly.  That's unreal.  I was going to say, what else can you conclude about that? They don't trust you at all. People will say that it's really clever and interesting and smart. Like, they'll say this. Because they're dumb. While also saying stormtrooper bonkers can't criticize anything that happens in it. These are ultimately extremely simple-minded people. The right place for all the consumers. I don't think even the room has this over with telling you the point.  Right at the end, you have Reva sitting there going like, oh, I almost became like Darth Vader. It's like, you don't need to say it.  I understand. That's the irony, right? It would be like in Return of the Jedi when Luke's defeated Vader and, you know, he sees the hand chopped off and he looks at his own hand. It's like, I don't need to say it right there. You must understand, Mr. Emperor, I do not wish to become my father as he was corrupted. I do not wish to be corrupted. That would be bad. I would like to... Yeah, you talk about symbolism, of course, cutting off the hand and then looking at your own hand. That's not that subtle, but it's enough that it's not telling you exactly what you need to think. Consider the line, I am a Jedi like my father before me. After that just happened. That's great. You have that example, and here, instead of just having Luke be there and then Reva there, they need to put young Reva there too. They can't just have like the scene be as it is and the symbolism come through in what is real and here, as opposed to these crazy hallucinations and flashbacks. That's the problem with like her whole motivation, though. Like that could have happened to her at any time. It's like, wait, I was a child. You're right, yeah. Nothing unique or special happens to her with this, Kel. When she was torturing Leia, that should have been the time. Yeah, like what have I become moment? And we're supposed to believe that she has been hunting down. She's been hunting down plenty of Jedi of all ages. How many of them screamed in beg for their life? It's so poorly done.  Absolutely, it's so poorly done. I mean, this has to be the clearest example. You had access to everything you needed. You had great actors. You had any of the actors you really wanted were available for this and ready to do it. You had all of the resources at your disposal to realize this without any major constraints, budget-wise, or anything like that. Copyright rights, yeah. Yeah, you have access to this, everything that you could want from the Star Wars canon. You had everything, but the script sucked. It just taints everything.  It's hilarious. I can't believe that. We all noticed that at once.  I mean, did the set up for this was completely different initially, and they filmed basically a scene for a different storyline? Well, but Vader's dialogue is the easiest to play, replaced with any character. And I just realized, there was a Star Destroyer in orbit. How did Obi-Wan escape? No, I just left because- Don't think about it. That's what I was trying to talk about. Remember really early on when I said, okay, so this is how it works, right? You've got big ship and small ship. That's what Obi-Wan is and that's what the big ship is. The big ship couldn't hyperdrive yet. They had some line about it. And so I said, like, so if Obi-Wan can hyperdrive, he should just leave now. I don't know why he hasn't yet. But if he can't, then he's fucked. But it turns out he could. So why the hell didn't he just hyperdrive away? Yeah. And if you want to say like, well, he just really, he was desperate to fight Vader. It's like, bro, you need to live to fight another day. Yeah. Remember Luke? Remember that really important mission?  You know what? I think it was a courtesy flash. Yes, I'm using that. That doesn't sound like what I think it's about to mean. Better than a fever flash. When they were doing the moving the boulders scene. I think that was a courtesy flash of Luke when the writers realized like, it's Leia, Leia, Leia, Leia. It's like, wait, doesn't, isn't Luke a character?  Have we got anything of Luke? Well, is that one scene where he looked into the binoculars?  I can't, like, that's probably one of the most infuriating things about this whole show is that they've ruined like our assessment that Kenobi was very invested in protecting Luke.  Characters not herring has become quite a recurring theme.  I don't know. It was bizarre. I don't know what it is with like this era of force. The force has to be stronger and stronger and stronger and stronger. I don't know, you guys. It could never be what it was. I always felt Kenobi was more of a really talented because he's like quite ingenuity guy, smart. Also really good swordsman. Pretty good with the force. He's like not going to be as high up.  I don't think Kenobi should be able to beat Vader in a strict force fight. I don't think so. I think that one of the big, you know how like, because he's always so still and lumbering for the most part as well. And slow that a lot of what makes him scary is that in terms of his force capabilities, he's basically unparalleled. And that's why I can't believe I'm doing this again, but Rogue One nailed it. They were trapped in a hallway with the man and he was using the force in really interesting and cool ways that don't break any cannon. He wasn't pulling starships down back to the planet and he wasn't ripping the hulls of ships apart with ease. He wasn't making huge boulders fly around. I agree that he shouldn't be able to pull that ship down, but I guess the point that's being made here is that if you're going to, like, that is what Darth Vader will be more capable of doing than Obi-Wan. Like, why aren't we, when we think about the fights between these characters, why aren't we thinking about their specialities in the Force? Their specialities as Jedi? I would actually have conceded, like, if the fight involves Kenobi keeping up a sword fight, but he keeps dropping boulders on Vader while they're fighting and Vader keeps deflecting them, but it's just a lot for him. We've talked about this before. How do you get a really powerful person to be defeated? It's like you need to stress them hardcore. You have to get them to fight loads of things at once. That's why Rags, when you suggested, like, when's the time Riva should attack Vader? It's like when he's grabbing the ship, probably, because that's going to be when he's distracted. Instead of just being like, Vader just loses to Kenobi even though he was overtly better than him in episode three. It's like, yes, but Obi-Wan had a little chat. That would be a great reason for the ship to escape is because Riva attacked him. Well, I mean, a great reason for the ship to escape would be that Vader can't do that. But beyond that... Yeah, in the context of the show, just let Riva attack and then they can leave. And by the way, just did you truly think you could defeat me?   When you... I'm waiting for James Merrill Jones available to do your voiceover. Still, as Darth Vader, you need to give the guy pure gold. He's not. They may just be giving him credit because they used his voice. It's not him. It's the robot. Yeah, it's definitely the robot. They did credit him, though. No, yeah, I'll link you something that will explain it kind of. Let's put it this way, right? And this happened to all of us. Put his clips from the OT next to the ones from this show. It'll become obvious. Yeah, I guess... You've got the infinite Vader performances now. Special mention to the one thing I think I like in this whole show, maybe. I don't want to get too hyperbolic, but it feels hard to compliment things. And this is a writing thing. The fact that Riva says something like... You really love the boy. Like he's your own. Which, by the way, is I guess supposed to imply she does know the nature of Luke's biology, but how could she? Yeah. There's no way she should know that. But whatever. The fact that she says that to Uncle Owen, and then he says... He is my own. I like that. Yeah. He's doing a little pop there. One tiny thing. Yes. Because you know what? In a good season of Obi-Wan Kenobi, we would have had plenty of time with Uncle Owen and Luke, and we could see what their relationship was like. I think there's always a lot to be said for a character like facing impossible odds like he was. Oh, yeah. Knowing he's going to die, but still refusing to give in. And that's really what you got from him there. So, yeah, that's good. Yeah, you know what? I kind of want to bolster that. You're absolutely right. Like him facing off a Sith with a stick, that's kind of amazing.  But it gives you a bit of like, man, you know, Uncle Owen's kind of a badass.  Like why? What do you even want? And she's just like, justice. It's like she's Batman. And he's just like, you're giving me no context for this. You don't even know. What do you mean?  Would you be more specific? Like if she said, I know that boy gets in trouble, but Jesus Christ, what did he do?  What did he do? He's a good boy.  It's like, didn't you have a blaster? What? Why did? You know, when she does, when she has her like girl boss moment earlier in the episode, she's like, we should pick our positions now because she'll be coming just after sunset. That would be the optimal time to attack. And then they completely don't pick their positions. They're just wondering about the farmstead. I don't see why night would be the best time to come.  The specific line was she will come when the suns go down, which was great line. Wouldn't it be better for me to be able to see where they are? Why would benefit?  It's easier for you to be ambushed at night. You want to come during the day where you could see better. It would definitely make sense for them to be outside and fire at her when she's like half a mile away. And it's like, she's got to cover an awful lot of open ground to get to them. Potentially you could wear her down with blaster fire and maybe score a lucky hit. If we both shoot at the same time. Could you imagine if the plotline for season two is Leia gets kidnapped again? We saw it again. Taken two. It's just Mouser of Duxer.   It'll fit, it'll all fit, don't worry. I just like to imagine that Leia goes like on all these adventures, gets kidnapped all the time and Luke's just chilling. He's chilling and Tatooine is like... Maybe Luke is the one that won out of the two of them, yeah. What a horrific show. Yeah, I'll be honest. It was worse than I thought it was going to be. Yeah, absolutely.  The totality of the damage is unreal beyond what I expected. Hyper incompetence. There's so many mistakes they've made that they didn't need to make at all. We took issue with just the premise.  But okay, fine. We can try and make this work and you think of ideas and stuff, but they just went nuts. Yeah. Why did they decide to hire the most incompetent band of buffoons? Why is that a decision they made? Would you mean the writers of the buffoons? Disney and the writers? From the most high position you can get to at Disney down from there until you reach these people that question applies. They probably have all of these priorities on a spreadsheet of what the episode needs to have as far as we need at least two action scenes or whatever. They probably have shit-tons of that. And then the actual writing process is just a matter of forcing all that stuff in.  It is sad.  This is just the next one. Prepare yourselves for the next... next thing. Andor? I guess I was including old Disney content so is it Thor Love and Thunder is next?  Here comes the sludge. Where's the poopie? Here comes the sludge. Thank you so much for joining us on this journey. Who knows what the next one will be? It's been a journey. It's been an adventure. But instead of it being an adventure, it's just sad at the end. There will be a supercut of the all Kenobi episodes together and there may be some extra bits here and there and also maybe at the end. I wouldn't mind looking at what the comments are for this one but we can only do that a little bit later. So yeah, look out for the supercut. That'll come out too. But anyway, anything anyone wants to say before we wave goodbye to the nice people? No. I don't feel triumphant. I feel bad. It was fun. It was fun. I think it's because we've just accepted that these shows are terrible and Star Wars is going to be just more and more dragged through the sludge and ruined as time goes on. Once you accept that as the fate of something that you once loved, well, yeah. Running out of places to ruin but I guess they can just keep doing the same ones. Yeah. In theory, there is a bottom most point that they can get to. I guess in theory, right? They always think that but then they find a way to dig deeper. Maybe one day it won't make enough money for them to continue shitting on it. I don't know. Maybe. Have you seen these fans?  They would just lower the budget. They would bring in Jaja. That's the emergency. Binks. A Star Wars story. Wisa going home. Goodbye everyone. Bye. Toodaloo. Noobie. Noobie. Watch your breath.


Bookmap's Liquidity Tracker indicator displays either the sum or average of liquidity on the bid, on the ask, and the difference between the two. The results are plotted in Bookmap's Subchart and Widget panel. Therefore, the indicator can display potential imbalances between buyers and sellers. The Liquidity Tracker was developed in Bookmap's API. Thus, anyone with Java knowledge can create indicators just like this. Note this is the initial release of the indicator and improvements are still being made. Check the Bookmap forum for the latest updates. To run the Liquidity Tracker, download and install the latest Beta 7 version of Bookmap. Then go to the bookmap.com slash forum. Click on the Bookmap API forum. Then introducing Liquidity Tracker thread here. You'll find the information about the indicator, then click on the download link here. Once downloaded, open Bookmap and go to Settings API Plugins configuration. Then click on the Add button. Find the downloaded jar file and open it. Then check the box here and click on the text here. Now let's go through the various settings. Here you can change the color and line settings. Under Output Settings, you can input the computation frequency and smoothing. Next, choose whether you want to display the average liquidity size per price level or the sum of all price levels. The Computation Mode section allows users to set weighting on the indicator output. For example, the first setting uniformly weighs each price level the same. You can choose how many levels you'd like to compute or use full depth if your data provider offers it. Or you can choose to have the price levels exponentially weighted. If selected, you can choose the half-life or 50% cutoff level from the dropdown. For example, if you choose 10, then each level's weighting decreases in value exponentially and the 10th level will be exactly 50% or the half-life of the entire computation. Note this computation is generated for the entire available depth. With the Sigmoi weighted option, you can select specific nodes to determine the range of the weighted computation. Let's go through an example. If I choose 5 for the first node, then the first 5 levels are uniformly computed without weight. However, if I choose 15 for the second node, then the weight of the computation linearly decreases from the first node to the second node. In the section below, the filtering settings will be released soon. Note they will only work with CME instruments and rhythmic data. Now let's go through an example of the output in the bookmap subchart and widget panel. In my settings, you can see I selected smoothing with 10 seconds and the average size per price level. I've also selected the exponential weighting with the half-life of 10 levels. The subchart output is displaying only the difference or delta between the bid minus the ask liquidity. The widget output is displaying the bid and ask liquidity as well as the difference between the two. You can customize your settings for these panels by clicking here. In general, the indicator provides true measurements of liquidity. We can see precisely where liquidity was added or pulled from both the bid and the ask in the difference between the two. Note this indicator isn't a buy-sell signal. It is to be used as confluence at specific areas.
