We have discussed at length (and will never tire of doing so!) all the major points of the man that is Obi-Wan Kenobi. But...what about the little things? We cover all our favorite subtleties that we adore and respect about Obi-Wan: from his little rogue piece of hair over his forehead, to his posture while sitting, to the way he backhands a blaster bolt or randomly speaks another species' language. Please join us and be thinking of your favorite "subtle" trait you love about Obi-Wan and let us know what it is! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/most-things-kenobi/support

Episode 150: Wrapping up the series on "The Anakins" with the voice of Anakin Skywalker in The Clone Wars: Matt Lanter

2024-05-1433:30

What a great way to ring in our 150th episode! We have the pleasure of discussing the talented Matt Lanter and what he has brought to Star Wars' most pivotal character, Anakin Skywalker. He is the voice of Anakin throughout The Clone Wars and beyond, including Lego movies and an abundance of Star Wars video games, and much more. His vocal range is why we appreciate him so much; he's given Anakin Skywalker the depth and lore the character needed, and has done so incredibly graciously. Thank you, Matt Lanter, for bringing Anakin to life through animation! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/most-things-kenobi/support

Hayden Christensen is a legend within the Star Wars fandom and in this episode we give credit where credit is due! His performance in the prequels, and his return to Anakin in shows like Ahsoka and the Kenobi Series, has given Hayden a chance to let his acting skills shine, and we are loving every second!! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/most-things-kenobi/support

Episode 148: Beginning our next series on "The Anakins": covering the actors who have portrayed Anakin Skywalker, beginning this week with Jake Lloyd

2024-04-2334:21

The first time we ever saw Anakin Skywalker in live action, outside of Darth Vader, was through Jake Lloyd's portrayal of Anakin as a young boy in "The Phantom Menace", which was released in 1999. This young boy, who will go on to become The Chosen One, was delivered by a bright and charismatic Jake Lloyd, who was only 8 years old when George Lucas cast him as the young Anakin. IMPORTANT NOTE: in this episode, we respectfully discuss Jake Lloyd's mental health journey, while also discussing how important mental health is in everyone's life. Please understand that we are not mental health experts, though we do want to emphasize the importance of mental health. We commend Jake for getting help to address his mental health, and wish him nothing but the best going forward. Thank you, Jake, for bringing Young Anakin to life in the Star Wars Universe! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/most-things-kenobi/support

Episode 143: Princess Leia, the "Huttslayer"

2024-03-1935:51

"Huttslayer", a relatively new but cannon title for Leia Organa Skywalker, is a title that isn't always discussed - but should be! By writing it into the novel "Bloodline", Claudia Gray effectively gave Leia a title filled with honor and respect. When Leia killed Jabba the Hutt, she not only liberated herself, but also avenged her biological father by killing his slaver. In doing so, she also liberated thousands more, even her own brother, by taking the chain Jabba used on her and killing him with her bare hands. For this reason and SO many more, Leia remains as bad ass as ever, and we honor her by calling her the "Huttslayer." --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/most-things-kenobi/support

2024-03-1243:34
