Most Things Kenobi - A Star Wars Podcast

This episode, we're joined by two of our friends from the Star Wars podcasting world, Charles and Pat - the hosts of "ConverSWations." They're hilarious, insightful, thoughtful, and true geeks just like ourselves! And since they so graciously had us on their show, we absolutely had to have them on ours (plus, they're just plain fun and delightful, and we adore them!) Our topics of choice for the episode? The Obi-Wan Kenobi series, of course! Charles and Pat give us their full run down on what they thought of the show as a whole, particularly the finale and how it impacted them. We transition into thoughts and predictions for the upcoming Andor series, and...as always...share PLENTY of laughs, jokes, and even some well-done impressions. We love these guys and thank them for joining us (though we hope it won't be the last!) Please check our their podcast, ConverSWations, on your favorite podcast player, and be sure to follow their social medias via their link tree at: linker.ee/converswations

Master and apprentice. Father figure and son figure. A Jedi and his padawan. Respected, loved, and admired....and gone too soon. A lot of words can be used to describe Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon's relationship, and we'll cover them all in this week's episode. What little we know of Qui-Gon as a character and what little we glean from his and Obi-Wan's brief on-screen relationship leads us in this discussion, but we'll also cover written material and theorize on what we believe was at the heart of these two Jedi's relationship.

In this episode, we break down costume design and inspiration when it comes to the Jedi uniform and Obi-Wan Kenobi's costume throughout the films and animations. From medieval to Samurai influences, there are many pieces to a Jedi's uniform and many historical nods - each of which we'll break down as we discuss...but what about the more specific changes in Obi-Wan's Jedi uniform? We'll discuss how he appears when he begins his tale in The Phantom Menace all the way to what he is wearing in the Original Trilogy and what, if any, symbolism is behind these changes.

George Lucas placed the cave scene in Empire Strikes Back directly at the center mark of the center film of the Original Trilogy for a reason. This week, we discuss why the cave scene is so pivotal: the lore, the theories surrounding its meaning, the importance of Luke's decisions and the vision he has within the cave. Lucas didn't just throw this scene into Empire Strikes Back; he created it with purpose and symbolism that helped drive Luke's journey from that point forward. What else will you find in this episode? "Only what you bring with you." Come join us as we go deep into the cave!
