Hello there!<\/p>\n
Yes, Obi-Wan Kenobi<\/a> is back on our screens ready to fight the good fight, watch over the future of the Jedi order and (presumably) acknowledge that Anakin had a point about all the rough, irritating sand on Tatooine. With Ewan McGregor back in the (weird alien) saddle for the first time since Revenge of the Sith\u00a0and<\/em> Hayden Christensen practising his heavy breathing as Darth Vader, this is set to be the biggest Star Wars release of 2022 (sorry, Boba).<\/p>\n To mark the occasion, we\u2019ll be live-reviewing both episodes as they hit Disney Plus, following with every twist, turn and lightsaber twirl as they play out onscreen. Check below for the latest updates, and don\u2019t forget to refresh the page when you want more!<\/p> 08:04AM:<\/strong><\/p>\n Reva (Moses Ingram) gets bored and throws a knife, reveals Benny Safdie as the hidden Jedi. Uncut Kyber Crystals, anyone?<\/p>\n Still, they\u2019re not very impressed with this guy. Reva would rather look for Kenobi, who she\u2019s fixated on. That\u2019s convenient, given who\u2019s working on a building site or quarry nearby. Or is it a butcher\u2019s?<\/p>\n 08.01AM:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Disney make a Star Wars show that doesn\u2019t go to Tatooine challenge!<\/p>\n Anyway looks like the Inquisitors have arrived. They\u2019re basically like Sith, but we pretend they\u2019re not so that nobody breaks the \u2018there can only be two Sith\u2019 rule.<\/p>\n \u201cIn actuality I would say, the Jedi hunt themselves.\u201d Now Rupert Friend, aka the Grand Inquisitor is going to do his little monologue about Jedi compassion being a curse.<\/p>\n 07:58AM:<\/strong><\/p>\n Ah a flashback to Order 66! Looks like we won\u2019t be free of Youngling death after all.<\/p>\n Nice that we actually have Clones in armour rather than the all-CG ones from the prequels. Anyway looks like that short scene (quite cool) is all we\u2019re getting for now, and we cut to \u201910 years later\u2019 on Tatooine.<\/p>\n 07:55AM:<\/strong><\/p>\n I see they skipped over the bit where he killed all those kids. But Obi-Wan still has the high ground.<\/p>\n Interesting to see the bits they\u2019ve really focused on reminding us of. Looks like Qui-Gon will play a role.<\/p>\n 07:53AM:<\/strong><\/p>\n A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away\u2026<\/p>\n What a cool recap! A little run through the prequels to remind us where we left off McGregor\u2019s Obi-Wan. Love it.<\/p>\n Hope the movie level effects here don\u2019t show up the TV budget in a moment though.<\/p>\n 07:52AM:<\/strong><\/p>\n Normally I\u2019d have some general chat here about what we might expect, but the episodes are here already so let\u2019s get stuck in!<\/p>\n 07:45AM:<\/strong><\/p>\n Welcome! Never fear, this\u00a0is<\/em> the review you\u2019re looking for\u2026 from a certain point of view. Rather than looking back at the episode after the fact, we\u2019ll be reacting to the launch episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi as they unfold onscreen, live blogging every moment as it happens.<\/p>\n Hopefully, it\u2019ll be fun and there\u2019ll be lots of cool lightsaber battles for us to gush over. But if Obi-Wan spends the entire opening two-parter helping Uncle Owen fix a moisture vaporator in real time, well, we\u2019ll cover that too. We got up early, so we might as well go all in at this point.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll kick things off properly at 8:00AM as the episodes drop, so until then sit tight! Excitement awaits. As well as Ewan McGregor\u2019s slightly weird Alec Guinness impression.<\/p>\n The Obi-Wan Kenobi series will air on Disney Plus on Fridays at 8am GMT.
