According to a New Hope, Leia never met Obi-Wan before.
According to The Last Jedi, tracking a ship through hyperspace is impossible until the First Order invented it.
According to Rebels, the Grand Inquisitor is still alive and doesn’t suck.
According to Revenge of the Sith and a New Hope Obi-Wan doesn’t like using a blaster.
The show contradicts other Star Wars stuff at least once per episode.
I’m not versed in SW lore, but the show contradicts itself too.
Obi-Wan in Episode 1: “I must train Luke.”
Obi-Wan in Episode 2: “I forgot how to use the Force.”
Reva in episode 1: “tell me where the Jedi is.”
Reva in Episode two: “Oh right, I can read minds.”
Darth Vader in episode three: “I can put out fire with the force, and grab Ob-Wan through the flames!”
Darth Vader five seconds later: “Oh no, fire! Guess there’s nothing I can do now!”
Jar Jar in episode 1: Whatsa Sith Lord?
Jar Jar in episode 3: Meesa Darth Plagueis
I’m going to play devils advocate/hopeful fan, and see if I can make up some dumb answers here.
I don’t know where this is stated, but I’d imagine it’s legends, or Disney just doesn’t care and retconned it. Not great, but happens a lot, and we can’t get too upset about it.
So far, Leia only knows Obi-wan as Ben, which could explain things. Not perfect, but a small patch to this plot hole.
Unless I’m forgetting something, they didn’t track a ship through hyperspace. If it’s referring to the cargo ship Obi-wan and Leia hid on, I’m assuming that they just knew the location because it’s a company vehicle, meaning they would know where it’s going.
We don’t really know if he’s dead yet though, probably just a feint. People have survived much worse in Star Wars.
Doesn’t like it, but still does. He shot Grievous, and considering that he has sunk since then, I absolutely believe he’d shoot Stormtroopers
The imperial lady calls him Obi-Wan in Episode 3, in front of Leia. I also find difficult to buy that she knows about Obama in Episode 4 but doesn’t realize he’s the same Jedi she met when she was ten, especially considering she supposedly remembered her mother.
How does Obi-Wan find the kidnapper ship in Episode 2?
“When last we met, I was the learner.” Vader literally says it in Episode 4.
I’ll admit that one is the most likely to be patched up.
I think Disney just needs to stop writing stories about legacy characters. Just for these shows to exist, contradictions and retcons galore need to be made, and the legacy characters themselves are often borderline unrecognizable.
The Mandalorian was great as it was its own thing. A completely new character with a story that made sense. They could do whatever they wanted with him since there was nothing holding his story back. It was so refreshing. I believe the future of Star Wars are characters like Mando, not the characters of Star Wars’ past.
Finally, a show where we get to see what Obi-Wan did during his exile on Tatooine. Spoilers: he doesn’t do anything but watch Luke bullseye womp rats in his T-16 and he trains to become a force ghost. If you watched the original Star Wars film you know what happens to Obi-Wan.
They pulled an Eli Vanto and just looked at logistics sheets for a couple hours
I dont think theyll go past 6 episodes and only one season given them calling it a “limited series” seeing what their other series with that title look like. then again, it is disney, and money is money
Im not really going to say a whole lot, since others have already made the points I have on it. Its kinda just there, not great but not bad
