Obi-Wan Kenobi 1984 TV Intro

In our Ahsoka retro TV intro, we asked what shows you'd like to see us do next, and the clear winner was Obi-Wan. Normally with these videos, we try to figure out what year they would have been released if they came out in chronological order. Obi Wan would have come out around 1967, but we simply weren't interested in making 60s music. It would have been funny, sure, but it wouldn't have rocked. And we sort of feel like Obi Wan has a need to rock. So that's what we did. We apologize in advance for all the motivation you're about to feel.

I remember renting this from Blockbuster in 1990. The training montage where Obi-Wan gets back in shape by running through the desert and wrestling banthas to a rocking power ballad blew my 8-year-old mind!

[okrajoe]

The opening "In Stereo Where Available" sets the mood perfectly!

[reezlaw]

The actor's name appearing after the character turns around smiles and the frame freezes is spot-on

[BenWillyums]

"I'm Qui-Gon Jim" I've had a few too many myself, buddy

[LSM]

Flawless. Missed a trick not doing an "AND INTRODUCING VIVIEN LYRA BLAIR" but somehow still flawless

[rithrius]

1:35 Not sure if typo, or Qui-Gon started a very successful chain of coleslaw restaurants.

[vitaly]

Qui-Gone-Jim is my favourite character, loved seeing him interacting with Obey-One again

[juanluissanchezmigue]

This is insane genius. Be The One.. the Obi Wan!

[HolyknightVader]

The part where Kenobi got his second wind in the final fight against Vader was radical. Especially when "You Got the Touch" played, it just set the scene very well.

[TastelessTrees]

Hold up, "Qui-Gon Jim". Jim, as in "Jim's Coleslaw" Jim; dang, these are some deep lore implications!

[SuperBC]

Cast if this was really made back in 1984.
Dirk Benedict as Obi-Wan Kenobi.

[rithrius]

I want to invent a time machine, go back to 1984, and show this to people to fuck with their heads.

[mrwensveen]

Now I need a sitcom recorded with a live studio audience.

[tetris]

All of the Star Wars content on this channel is chronically underviewed. It's brilliant

[jakegreen]

LMAO That chorus is genius.
Also: I love that this sounds like it should be on the same album as In The Zone

[ConradSpoke]

Wow, as a kid I was so jazzed for this show, and now it looks so hokey!

[CKSRichardson]

This video has certainly left me motivated... To go out and pick up some coleslaw!

Amazing take as always. I look forward to the next project.

[JediWilli]

I love how much this sounds like In The Zone

[ranborn]

This is quickly becoming my favorite work of yours, what an absolute banger. be the one, Obi-Wan!

[matthewstromer]
