Most Things Kenobi - A Star Wars Podcast

John Williams, Kevin Kiner, Michale Giacchino, Nicholas Britell (just to name a few)...the list of Star Wars composers is the stuff of legends. In this episode we dive into our favorite pieces of Star Wars music, discussing the scenes, the musical themes, and the emotions each piece evokes.

We always enjoy a good story, and we also love to revisit the collection of short stories in the "From A Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back" collection. This episode, we chose to review two more stories, which were much different than the others we've reviewed in the past.

If you haven't watched Hello There Animation's Clone Wars remake of the Revenge of the Sith duel, do yourself a huge favor and watch it right now. Here is a link. It is a glorious piece of work and we spend this episode gushing about how much we loved it. As usual, you'll be treated to a deep-dive analysis, some minor freak outs, and plenty of laughs.

In this episode, we try to see some of Obi-Wan's choices throughout his time as a Jedi from a different point of view. We're not here to trash talk him, obviously, but what if we considered some of his actions from a different angle: DID Obi-Wan make any real "mistakes" that contributed to how everything turned out in the Galaxy? Or was it all just fate; part of the "grand p...

2023 was not an easy year for most folks we know, us included. But, in this episode, we are choosing to focus on all the amazing, positive, magical things that happened in 2023. Thank you to all our listeners for your love, support, and friendship! We wish you a very happy new year!

The basic definition of a "red flag" is something that indicates or draws attention to a problem, danger, or irregularity...and yep, that essentially describes Anakin Skywalker in more than one instance before his fall! We go over several "red flag moments" where we believe Anakin's behavior was a true warning sign; a sign that many ignored or chose not to acknowledge prope...

Neither one of us had ever watched the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special. So this holiday season we decided to give it a try. What a wild ride. After we recovered and were able to think again, we recorded this episode. You'll hear our honest opinions...

This will need to be an ongoing series of episodes in the future, because there are SO many awesome filming locations to choose from! But for this episode's purpose, we each chose two filming locations from Star Wars that we wanted to discover more deeply and discuss from a geographical (and geological!) standpoint. Of the four different locations, we discuss facts and figures about each, incl...

Join us for a hilarious conversation about all the times Indiana Jones referenced Star Wars and vice versa. We were familiar with a few of these already, but several really shocked us! Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. We have a good feeling about this!

What do you get when you tie a Sith Lord, a Jedi Master, and a Jedi Padawan together in a pirate's prison cell? THIS EPISODE! Yes, it may sound like the start of a bad joke, but really - this is the lovable hilarious mess that follows part 1, "Dooku Captured". The three "prisoners" attempt to work together to escape Hondo's lair, much hilarity and irritability ensue, an...

"Dooku Captured" is one of our favorite Clone Wars arcs from season one. In this episode, we dive into the hilarity and, of course, the sass that unfolds between Obi-Wan, Anakin, Dooku, and Hondo. It is a pure delight :)

Every now and then, we do a deep dive and discuss our favorite Star Wars actors and actresses, and we're ashamed and horrified it took us THIS LONG to celebrate our absolute FAVORITE: Mark Hamill! He's not just our favorite hero of Star Wars, but he's so much more: he's also a voice actor, stage/theater actor, claymation and comic book savant, in addition to just being a wonderful...

We appologize for missing last week's Halloween episode. LeeAnn was sick and had lost her voice. But we loved the subject we were supposed to talk about so much that we're going ahead with it anyways. In this episode we keep the spooky season going with our list of the creepiest moments from The Clone Wars.

This week we take a step back from our neck-deep-obsession with Star Wars and look at it with fresh eyes. LeeAnn's mom, Gina, joins us to talk about what it's like being a new fan navigating the enormity of the Star Wars galaxy. Is it overwhelming? Yes. Has that discouraged her? No.

Jedi Master. Sass Master. Snark Master. Obi-Wan Kenobi is a man of great intellect and sensitivity, but no one doles out one-liners like he does! Join us for a lighthearted episode full of laughs as we list our favorite snarky Obi-Wan moments from the Clone Wars.

As the "Ahsoka" series wraps up with a big season 1 finale, we give our collective thoughts and opinions (and ask many questions) regarding the last three episodes of the series, which includes the finale. Did the first season stick the landing? Find out what we think in this episode as we discuss everything from episodes 6, 7, and 8 of "Ahsoka"!

We are thrilled to bring you this episode!!! THE Beth Revis, New York Times best selling Star Wars author Beth Revis, joins us this week! She sat down with Lauren for a chat to discus the process of writing a Star Wars novel, getting to read the Rogue One script before almost anyone else, witch hunting in Germany, and so much more. Beth is known for writing Rebel Rising , The Princess and the Scou...

We all know Force Lightning as the ultimate physical corruption of the Force; forbidden to be used by the Jedi but still used throughout the Star Wars galaxy in both Canon and Legends. But we want to know more: how many types are there (in Legends, there are MANY), what happens to those who use it and those who deflect it, and why don't individuals like Luke Skywalker have any scarring from it...

LeeAnn screamed. Lauren fainted. We scraped ourselves up off the floor and then recorded our thoughts, emotions, questions, theories, and everything in between about the brilliant and beautiful Episode 5 of the "Ahsoka" series. Hayden is BACK and better than ever, and seeing Clone Wars era Anakin with younger Ahsoka blew us away. The symbolic imagery and cinematography is divine in this...

It's a Klaxon alert kind of episode!!!!! This week we do a bit of spazzing out over the big Ahsoka reveal!!!! We talk about all kinds of other goodies from the show, and even discuss a few things that are giving us "meh" feelings. Join us for some laughs and some analytics!

Everyone loved our 7 Deadly Sins episode, so we decided to flip it and do the opposite to the 7 Deadly Sins, which are the 7 Capital Virtues: chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility. For this episode, we chose one male character and one female character for each of the virtues, and found that this was a lot more difficult than we expected. One thing is certain: t...

The first 2 episodes of the Ahsoka series has premiered and we are sharing our thoughts. Overall, we really enjoyed it and are looking forward to what's coming next. Join us as we dive into all the strengths (and weaknesses) we spotted, and don't forget to share your opinion with us over on social media! https://mostthingskenobi.com/link-tree/

This week we had a great time diving into something a little different. We discussed the seven deadly sins, also known as the seven capital vices or seven cardinal sins, and assigned a Star Wars character (or characters) to each one. The seven deadly sins are as follows: pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth. Can you guess who we picked for each one? Does it match the character you w...

In the Clone Wars "Mortis" arc, both Anakin and Ahsoka turned Sith, but Obi-Wan did not. If Obi-Wan ever had the chance to go to the Dark Side, this arc would have been it! In this week's episode, we play around with the idea that IF Obi-Wan had also turned Sith, what would have caused him to do so? Now we all know that Obi-Wan is the pillar of goodness; a shining example of what a J...

From his tragic origin story, to the moment he made the decision to turn Sith, to his death at the hands of Anakin Skywalker: there's something tragic about the way Count Dooku's life played out. We wanted to investigate his turn to the Dark Side and what could have been, had he not turned down the path of the Sith. There's a LOT to unpack with this one individual, so we may revisit th...
