![]() ![]() After initially brushing him off as having mistaken him for someone else, Obi-Wan encourages Nari to stay hidden and that the fight was over and that the Jedi had lost. He says in reality Jedi hunt themselves.Īnd even in his arrogance, there is truth in that, as we will see in episode 2 (appropriately titled, “Part 2”).īut for now, when Nari finds Obi-Wan he is dismayed to discover Obi-Wan is not the revered Jedi Master he remembers. That compassion, that part of the Jedi code as Rupert Friend’s Grand Inquisitor monologues, leaves a trail. No, they are hunting Nari, played by Benny Safdie, who is on Tatooine and has aided a saloon owner in need. It is that compassion that aids the Inquisitors, Darth Vader’s bounty hunters, who coincidentally enough land on Tatooine in the episode’s opening moments looking for a Jedi - just not the Jedi you’re thinking of. He can’t bring attention to himself here, he can’t be the Jedi he used to be. The boss dares Kenobi to say something and while Obi-Wan gives him a hard look and clearly is perturbed, in the end he punches he time card, takes his pay and goes. ![]() ![]() He is working cutting meat in a dreary, mundane daily existence and can’t even succumb to his wishes to stand up to the boss who cuts pay in half and bullies a fellow employee when they say something about it. When we first see Obi-Wan on the sands of Tatooine we see how far he has fallen from his standing as a Jedi Master, council member and the renowned “Negotiator” of the Clone Wars. WARNING: Spoilers ahead, so if you have not yet watched this episode perhaps you may want to pause and go watch the episode first. We were told in advance of the new Obi-Wan Kenobi limited event series that the Jedi Master was “ rather broken, and faithless, and beaten, somewhat given up” and that seems an understatement when we see him in episode one, fittingly entitled “Part 1” (leave it to Lucasfilm to not even give anything away in the episode titles). ![]()
