Kessel Run Transmissions have been sharing a lot of big Star Wars scoops lately, and they seem to be panning out! The latest is one of the most exciting we've seen to date, though, and it pertains to that highly anticipated live-action Obi-Wan Kenobi TV series coming to Disney+ in the next few years.

They start by confirming previous reports that both Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader will appear in the show, while noting that Clone Commander Cody and the 212th Clone Battalion will also appear.

As you might expect, this means there will indeed be flashbacks to the events of The Clone Wars, with Hayden Christensen set to appear as Anakin Skywalker in his armour from that period. Visual effects will likely be used to make him and Ewan McGregor look as they did in Revenge of the Sith.

Interestingly, the site also notes we'll see Darth Vader because the plot of Obi-Wan Kenobi primarily revolves around the Sith Lord's hunt for his former Master. Is there a way they could possibly cross paths? It seems unlikely, but there may be a way such a meeting could be retconned into continuity.

This show is clearly shaping up to be something special, and you have to hope this will lead to more stories told in live-action from that period explored by The Clone Wars animated series.

Hopefully this is fake, but if not


Seriously rumors of Maul, Vader, Cody

Obi-Wan is suppose to be in complete seclusion and Tatooine, only contact with past characters until R2 and 3PO show up should be Maul and Ezra, and we already saw that happen.

Seriously this is a show that does not need character cameos, its set on a planet of bounty hunters, gangsters and savages, there is enough set up there for action.

although would like to see Cad Bane, if they arent going to finish that story, might as well just forget about it

@dracula - He can still be in seclusion just as long as these characters only appear in flashbacks. But I agree, it would be a mistake to see them in the present day

@Nightwing1015 - they may do it what happen in rogue one Vader show up end of movie no contact with no main characters., to have both Anakin and Vader could be flash back maybe show him training Anakin and later show Vader end of movie while not have met obi wan

@dracula - Honestly, I have a big problem with this show having something substantial enough happening on Tatooine to be worth centering the plotline around it.

The one thing that Kenobi should most want to avoid is any whisper of there being a Jedi on Tatooine getting back to the Empire... Vader and Palpatine would surely take some interest in that and investigate Vader’s former home and find out about Luke. And surely any lowlife scum who saw a guy waving around a lightsaber would try and sell that information to the Empire.

So Obi Wan getting into a big adventure on Tatooine seems problematic, unless he never openly uses any Jedi powers or weapons, or assures that nobody lives to report on it.

I'm starting to feel there was no real plan for this

@TheCoonII - we should have known that when Kennedy forced them to throw out their plan, now im expecting what we got in Rise Of Skywalker, fanfic pandering, and a lot of bad fan service

I don't really want Obi-Wan encountering Prequel characters in this series, he's meant to be pretty much alone once he gets to Tatooine. And Episode IV strongly implies Vader hasn't seen him since their fight on Mustafar so they definitely shouldn't cross paths here.

Wouldn't mind some very brief Clone War flashbacks featuring Anakin and Cody if they serve the story, Owen/Very/Luke might make sense if used sparingly, and maybe a cameo from Liam Neeson as Qui Gon Jinn's Force ghost, but aside from that, this series should have very few characters (less than The Mandalorian, even) and none should be characters we know.

I hope the Clone Wars flashback only is there only as the opening of the show to remind us of Obi-Wan's relationship with Anakin (and Cody), and not at more points.

As for the confrontation between Ben and Vader, it can still happen (preferably also only once, at the end) as Vader never specified in ANH when they last met.

The more I think of it, a standalone Darth Vader movie from his POV would be epic. Set post-Order 66, before Rogue One.

@GothamSon - no...hows about instead, a Disney+ mini-series in the style of The Mandalorian, Vader hunting down the last of the Jedi...ASAP so we can get one final great Vader performance from James Earl Jones

If Vader is truly in this, they better get James Earl Jones to do his lines ASAP, because that man can't wait 2 years to do it, he's not getting any younger.

Of course Obi-Wan and Vader can meet again.

Did you see how the Clone Wars Show retconned Obi-Wan, Anakin, Yoda fighting Dooku, Sidous, Maul, Grevious...etc?

And yet watching ROTS you wouldn’t even know.

They should do it.
IronGenesis
IronGenesis - 8/27/2020, 4:54 AM
@AzulaCipher - of course they did. I don’t mean every character met every chRacter. But enough did

Dookus “I’ve been looking forward to this” line in Sith? That was totally Dooku referring to their previous fight in AOTC.

Until Clone Wars came around and showed Dooku fight them multiple times.

We don’t even need to use fights as an example the entire character of Ashoka is a complete Retcon of the story.

If you’re willing to buy that Aniken had a Padawan between attack of the clones and revenge of the Sith then you better be willing to buy that Obi-Wan and Vader met between ROTS and ANH.

IronGenesis - 8/27/2020, 5:10 AM
@AzulaCipher - the show totally did not care about showing Dooku fight obi-wan/Anakin multiple times

It’s fine that they retconned it. I don’t mind.

AOTC - Obi-Wan “well take Dooku together”

ROTS - Obi-Wan “this time we will take him together”

Obi-Wa. dialogue is designed so you are to assume as the viewer that these are the only two times these characters have seen each other

The battle in attack of the clones and now the battle in revenge of the Sith.

But there’s enough wiggle room to add more which the clone wars wisely did.

Just like there’s enough wiggle room in the dialogue between Ben and Vader in a new Hope for them to meet in the new show.

But to say that the clone wars didn’t screw around with the movies it’s just not authentic

When all else fails; bring on Vader.

I'm largely against Vader's involvement, but if true, I think one episode of Vader contemplating tracking down Obi-Wan would suffice. Maybe him tracking unsuccessful leads, thinking in his mediation chamber, and arguing with Palpatine if the Jedi should be hunted.

A POV episode of Vader's obsession to destroy his former master. Ultimately, the episode ending with Vader giving up the hunt.

Contrast this with Obi-Wan having nightmares of his former apprentice and longing to have had things go differently. The master wishes for a brighter future, the apprentice wishing to destroy the master.

That's it. No more need be shown of Vader.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that this series starts with Obi Wan NOT on Tatooine...I mean is it ever explicitly said that he stays there watching over Luke after RotS? Like never leaves at all? Maybe he leaves from time to time to check on Leia...Maybe he leaves to go complete some training...Who knows...That’s not to say he doesn’t spend most of that time gap there keeping an eye on Luke...

There’s so much room in that little bit of dialogue they had in ANH...He and Vader certainly could have encountered each other after Episodes 3 and 4...Who’s to say this encounter doesn’t push him to realize that he needs to be strictly attached to Luke on Tatooine...

My only issue would be that he encounters Vader on Tatooine...There’s no way that I could see that happening without Vader picking up on Luke...
