Obi-Wan has PTSD | REACTION

Happy Star Wars Day! I recorded this after I finished the prequels a while back and decided that today would be a great day to post in honor of May the fourth and the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series (which I'll be watching after The Mandolorian). Enjoy!

May the fourth be with you!

PS: the October Sky reaction will be coming later this evening!

Shame about Quiggly's death. a real shame.

And to think, Alec Guiness, who played 'Ben' in Episode IV: A New Hope was only in the film for half of it near enough, and yet made such a massive impact and acted way beyond his own film, locking in a pivotal and legendary character. The way Alec even acts and how the prequels are shown after him is just extraordinary.

It just shows Sir Guinness’ incredible acting talent. When he played Obi Wan, he only had cliff notes about the character’s past and yet, you see him go through, nostalgia, regrets, grief, etc

[Jack.]

Imagine being such a good actor that you can have PTSD for a character who's backstory wasn't revealed until about 25 years later

Fun fact. Obi-Wan never owned a droid. He used Republic issued R4 units for his ships and never traveled with a droid outside of flying. R2-D2 was Anakin's personal droid.

Happy Star Wars Day. May the Fourth be with you.

“I don’t understand how he switched so fast, he had Padme”

That’s precisely WHY he turned.

It's interesting to see how many people think Anakin Fell quickly when in reality his resilience was startling. He started off at a disadvantage with his tumultuous childhood and then he lost his mother and then he went through four years of hell where he lost so many of his troopers in a war that just got worse and worse and then he lost more people and the pressure it put on him was astounding. Add to that the fact that Palpatine was actively manipulating him both with words and the Force, I'm surprised he didn't Fall sooner. All he needed was to fear Padmé and his child dying, that was what tipped him over the edge. He couldn't lose anyone else.

That was so well put together that you can understand the emotions he's going through. And when you look at how well Sir Alec Guinness put those emotions into that scene so long before the other movies existed, you understand why he's such a highly regarded actor.

[losno]

Who could forget old Quigley. You are precious sometimes.

[mikeaninger]

May the 4th be with everyone. And to Sir Alec Guinness, we miss you. Your force lives in all of us. 🥲

4:20 Something I only noticed about this Jedi getting whacked after someone pointed it out is her first response when she senses the clones readying their weapons is to check the surrounding treeline, and she probably died thinking she'd let her squad down and led them into an ambush.

That compilation was excellently put together! Thanks for posting this. I'd never seen it before.

Obi-Wan doesn't remember owning a droid because he never owned either of the driods, R2 came from Padme's ship and 3PO was made by Anakin, they belonged to them.

[wesmcinerny]

The word you're looking for is Qui-Gon.

[william_santiago]

To understand how "he switched so fast" you need to understand the 4 years between Ep. II and Ep. III to understand how he switched "so fast." The Clone Wars TV series explains that, but I'd caution you against using it as a reaction, unless you were to summarize it by seasons. There are seven and there are a number of filler episodes.

[Sumdumfilipino]

“Whats his name?” It’s definitely not Queef. 😂😂

[LeChaunce]

Disney Plus now has a playlist that has all the Star Wars content in chronological order -- Episodes 1 &2, the Clone Wars series/movie, Episode 3, The Bad Batch, Solo, Rebels, Rogue One, Episodes 4-6, The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Resistance, and Episodes 7-9. My guess is that they'll throw the Obi-Wan series inbetween Solo and Rebels, but the upcoming Andor series runs concurrently with Rebels so I don't know where they'll put that one.

[mckdink]

I think when every Star Wars fan clicked on this video for the very first time, they were expecting to be laughing

Instead they were filled with emotion, nostalgia & teary eyes

[crowtcameron]

Almost everyone in Star Wars seems to go though some truly awful stuff that would be hard to get over. If I were Obi-Wan I would've had PTSD from the time he spent with Jar Jar Binks.

There’s another good Star Wars edit called “The Chosen One” by far one of the greatest edits of Star Wars I’ve seen.
