The 42cast Episode 216: Square Wan

Obiwan Kenobi

The Obi-Wan Kenobi series started as a plan for a movie following the titular character. Over time that morphed into a plan to do a limited series on Disney+. In this episode the cast discusses the series. They talk about how the series fleshes out not only the character of Obi-Wan Kenobi but also Anakin Skywalker, Leia Organa, and Owen and Beru Lars. They also discuss the timeframe of the series and how it uses elements of the prequels to elevate the prior material above it’s quality when it stood alone. They also get into the new characters and whether the online controversies have any merit. They close off by opining on the future of Obi-Wan Kenobi as a character in the franchise.

In lieu of a five-minute controversy this week, the cast discusses the trailer for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

This week Ryan, Alli, and Shaun join the cast.
