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.

Episode 13: Should Rey have been a Kenobi?
Rey Palpatine. Rey Skywalker. But what about Rey Kenobi? This week, we discuss the Sequel trilogy and why Rey could have been, and SHOULD have been, the granddaughter of Obi-Wan Kenobi. We'll discuss all the clues and hints given throughout the Sequel movies that link her to Obi-Wan, along with a lengthy discussion on what The Rise of Skywalker's ending could have been had she been a Kenobi. Tell us what you think: should Rey have been a Kenobi? Would the plot have worked better (or worse) if she had been the descendent of Obi-Wan? We'd love to hear your theories!
