Disney + ends the first season on one of the most beloved Star Wars characters with an ending at the height of the fanservice of the rest of the series.
Hello there! It’s time to explain the end of ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’, the series with which Disney + has decided to explore what became of the character in the canon stage that runs from ‘Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith’ (George Lucas, 2005) to the initiation ‘Star Wars’ (George Lucas, 1977). It was worth it?
Divided as usual Star Wars acolytes debate on networks (and in our newsroom) about whether or not this shovelful of cheeky fanservice has satisfied our galactic cravings but, don’t worry, that fight will not be transferred to this news in which we will only talk about that ending that, although it does not need too much explanation, the artificial intelligence that we serve and that we have all created based on pure click.
Have we created a monster? Maybe even two. We tried to disguise his voracity with friendly headlines, we even gave good ideas and reasons to trust ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ but Disney and Google are not easily satiated and, after asking us if ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ is ridiculing his main character, It’s time to focus on the end of the chapter, but not before, of course, a little warning.
SPOILERS FOR THE SIZE OF A BANTHA DUM
Now that those of us who have already gone through the sixth chapter of ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ are alone, Let’s talk about the end of the first season, that last scene where, after greeting the farm boy who will take to the skies, we run into an old friend who we saw die in a tragic way.
“I’m very proud of the movie, I got to be a Jedi, I got to play with those wonderful lightsabers and stuff, it was fantastic,” Liam Neeson said in an interview for Radio Andy in which he was asked about his appearance in ‘Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace’ (George Lucas, 1999). “I liked the movie”.
We already pointed it out in our list of 12 Movies That Prove Liam Neeson Is Pure Glory, Qui-Gon Jinn became in a single title (as if more were needed) one of the most interesting Jedi Master in the history of the Order. Neeson didn’t know where to look-especially when Jar Jar was around-but it was the perfect spiritual well for even the midi-chlorians to do so much damage.
As the ways of the Force are inscrutable, his death at the hands of Darth Maul was not going to be as final as one might think, especially considering how many times he the actor has declared himself in favor of reincarnating the character and, finally, it has happened.
Kenobi, on his way back to his desert retreat, runs into the ghost of the Force of his former mentor, a power that the most experienced knights have begun to master at that time of the gal canonactic and that Obi-Wan himself will show off after his death.
The bluish Qui-Gon greets his former apprentice and discovers that he has always been there, by his side, but that he had not manifested himself until he was ready for it. He had to forgive himself for creating Vader.whom he now sees as solely responsible for Anakin’s death.
Recovered from the trauma, Obi-Wan is ready to begin a new stage in his life and Qui-Gon steps forward with: “Come on, we’ve got a long way to go“.
This obviously opens the door to new seasons of the Kenobi series and hopefully, it will become a series in which things happen and we live adventuresa full stop in the Skywalker soap opera as we were promised in which, as in the acclaimed ‘The Mandalorian’ and the underrated ‘The Book of Boba Fett’, entertainment once again rules over the biblical canon of the Tatooine-based family.
