What's the difference between the 6-episode 2022 TV show called Obi Wan Kenobi, total running time 261 minutes, and the 2022 motion picture (I think that's what it is) of the same name that I managed to obtain, running time 150 minutes?

It's clear that the movie is not simply the TV episodes patched together, because of the running time difference (too much to be explained by subtracting time for opening and closing credits, and "previously on Obi Wan" bits). Also, a quick peek revealed that the early scene in which Obi Wan opens the box in the desert is around the 47-minute point in episode 1 of the TV show, but around the 26-minute point in the "movie" I have.

What is this mysterious movie version? I can't even find it om IMDB, which only seems to have the TV show. Do I miss out on much if I watch it instead of the TV show?

In episode 3 Ovi-Wan runs away from vader multiple times, and it was difficult not to picture a YouTube meme soundtrack. It simply looked so comical.

Hondo,,.embo, darth maul, commander cody, maybe mace windu comes back, obi wan training how to be a ghost with qui gon, vader but no more vader vs obi wan since they were meant to fight in episode 4 as the first fight since episode 3, but they already changed that so making them fight again where both of them survive would be stupid. But maybe obi wan could visit yoda on dagobah and fight vader in the cave? And Quinlan vos

Has anyone got any stories they'd like to see in a Kenobi season 2? I haven't fully thought it out yet, but I think it would be a cool idea to show an unseen story from the clone wars that has ramifications to where Kenobi is during season 2. Maybe a new villain shown in flashbacks that returns during his time on Tattooine, I think this would work and would definitely avoid breaking any canon.

It had to be explained how Obi-Wan found out Anakin survived his burning and that he was wearing that suit, and also it made sense that Vader was on a revenge fueled rampage. It sure looked odd at first how that fight on the death star, if that’s the first time they’ve seen each other since Mustafar, that he was pretty chill reuniting with the man who put him in that suit.

This is Teeka, the same Jawa who invaded Obi-Wan's house and scammed Obi-Wan without even bothering to clean the parts smh. He apparently is an NPC you can interact with in the game. Minor inclusion but fun for those who happen to remember his scene.

he's really chasing him planet to planet but has like a thousand chances to kill him but he doesnt

Mcgregor was awesome but whoever played the third sister was a bit…cartoonishly villainous.

So the thing which matters the most to Disney here is the views. And it had the largest premier numbers. And from fans it gets around 70% rating. The problem which I think is persistent is that there are many hardcore people who are in a loud minority. That always say there shouldn't be a second season because the series was a total flop.

I agree that there were many issues. But for the reasons above, it certainly was not a flop.

After having watched it earlier, I still feel like “Kenobi” is among the best of the Disney Star Wars efforts. It’s about a B for me.

Strengths: Ewan is one of the best actors of his generation and anytime he is in Kenobi’s cloak you will get a strong performance. Owen and Beru were written and acted well. Vader/Anakin too was well-written and acted. Bail and his wife also were good. For a child actor, Leia was well played (the horrific chase scenes were not the actress’ fault).

The Bad: For some odd reason Disney tried to do this on the cheap and it looks subpar. The plot is too convoluted and depends too much on Reva’s machinations. Obi Wan is too weak for too much of the series. They did my mam the Grand Inquisitor wrong. How hard would it have been to apply a cone to dude’s head? They aliens all look cheap and rubbery like they were bought from Temu. Also, in trying to age Kenobi they applied too heavy a hand particularly with the prosthetic nose. The lighting was often bad. The Leia chases were farcical bad. Flea needed more and better direction. The series needed better direction in general. The main characters were all great, but the supporting cast was a mess. They shouldn’t have killed off Tala-Indira is a great actress, and her and Ben had chemistry which could have laid the ground work for Kenobi 2.

Other: Reva: I like the character and the context, but the show was put on her shoulders to carry. Moses is good in the action scenes, but her plot is too convoluted. I think maybe centering on the GI might have been better with Reva supporting. Vader should have killed her or she escapes: but Vader only injuring her is completely out of character. The sets and lighting needed serious upgrading although Kenobi’s rock shower on Vader was pretty awesome.

All-in -all, Kenobi was a success for Disney fiscally and mostly creatively. Seriously, they just needed to do a better job in some of the technical areas because the leads are solid. I hope that they do a Kenobi 2 and really let Ewan shine as an actor without another Vader confrontation.

In freemasonry and in other esoteric traditions, the circle with the dot in the center ⊙ is an important symbol that also plays a role in Star Wars. It's the symbol for the sun and for gold, with a much deeper meaning that you will have to explore on your own. It's sometimes called the circumpunct, or the point within a circle. It's a symbol that has a place in the Dan Brown book, The Lost Symbol. Someone like comparative mythologist Joseph Campbell, George Lucas's mentor who died in the 80's, might have looked at the dot as the energy of the transcendent entering the field of time represented by the circle.

In Kenobi episode 6, Luke Skywalker enters a shop to buy a belt for his speeder. Note that Leia also receives a belt in the story. Observe the countertop inside the shop. It's in the shape of a circled dot. The center dot appears it may be a broken fire pit-- the light has gone out from the world, with the fall of the temple 10 years earlier.

The merchant character represents a solar corona, with his sunburned-looking head, ring of hair, and corona-mask-like face. He's officially called "Supply Store Clerk," apparently played by performance artist David St. Pierre, who also played other roles in the series. Luke Skywalker's name literally means the light that walks across the sky, the sun. He is the solar figure from mythology, while Leia is the receptive aspect of the light, or the moon, something that this series highlights. The personification of the spiritual sun,the light of the world, has entered the story. He walks to the center dot and places his hands onto the dot, interacts with the merchant, then walks to the outer circle. Think about how brilliant that is, when you look up at the sky in the Kenobi-Vader fight scene where there is a first crescent moon-- the light reborn, entering the material world, as the light starts to enter the saga again, as though they've just passed midnight in the cycle of light and dark.

I have read and listened to many of the works of professor Joseph Campbell, who was an inspiration for Star Wars, without who George Lucas said Star Wars may never have been written. So, symbols and metaphor become an important part of understanding the deeper meaning presented in the form of mythology.

The Kenobi series appears to have been structured on one of Campbell's lectures. After George Lucas put out the first Star Wars movies, he commented on the ignorance of people who tried to make similar spaceship movies, that did not do well, because they didn't understand the richness and depth of the myths and symbols presented in the story. It's not just a space war adventure. He said there's much more to it than that. I have long searched for the "more to it than that." The Kenobi series demonstrates an understanding of that symbolical, metaphorical and mythological foundation.

Guaranteed you will find the very important sacred circled dot symbol on the shelves of the amazing Skywalker Ranch library. Also if you have the privilege to visit the ranch library, look straight up while inside. Star Wars mysteries can be unraveled by looking at the tapestry of cultures of our world, myths and religions, and the symbols used for thousands of years-- one of which is the very important circled dot that goes back to ancient Egypt. It's also not the only ancient symbol used in the series, but I want to prompt people to look for themselves, and consider it from the perspective of someone like Joseph Campbell who would have enjoyed Kenobi if he was alive today.

Freck, for example, is right out of his description of animal consciousness in the lower three levels of consciousness, before a spiritual rebirth-- past that barricade. As a kind of mole rat character, an animal that lives underground, blind and in the dark, eating feces, subservient to a system, he's a perfect metaphor for that state of consciousness that is driving the vehicle for consciousness at that point in the story that has fallen into darkness. Thanks for reading.

Watching Kenobi gave me massive headaches with how dumb they have made the empire/vader just so ANH doesnt get ruined.

Can someone explain to me how in all the years after this show leading up to ANH why the Empire and Vader not once looked into what Reva was up to before attacking Vader? Because if they take 5 seconds to do so they discover the connection between Kenobi and Organa and use that to draw him out again

Which in turn probally causes them to imprison/execute Organa and sanction or take control of Alderaan for being allied with a Jedi and Vader probally discovers Leia and her connection to him and you cant argue that they dont find a connection because Reva found it and Vader and the GI have more resources then her. Probally ends the rebellion as well.
