Most Things Kenobi - A Star Wars Podcast

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...

A few episodes before this, we focused on the tried and true leaders in Star Wars and all the redeeming qualities they shared as great leaders. This week? We're flipping the switch and going straight into Middle and Upper Management across the galaxy. Who do we think reigns supreme as Upper Management? And who we do think juuuuuust can't quite cut it and thus, remains in Middle Management?...

This is the second part in our series where we feature listener stories about how Star Wars helped them through something difficult (listen to episode 108 for Part 1). From the loss of a parent, to managing anxiety, to recovering from illness, to supportive communities and devoted friendships, Star Wars has an uncanny ability to heal and uplift. It's our hope that these amazing stories of endu...

This episode is a part 2, of sorts, to the episode we did last week analyzing the Mustafar duel from Revenge of the Sith . This week we deep dive into the duel on the barren moon, where Obi-Wan and Vader finally face their demons. We discuss the beautiful parallels to ROTS (and even Phantom Menace ), the deeply meaningful location, the exceptional cinematography, and so much more!

The battle of the heroes, brother against brother, Jedi against Sith, Obi-Wan against Anakin! In this week's episode we do a deep dive into the Revenge of the Sith duel on Mustafar. We use several avenues of analysis, including cinematography, HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) aka sword fighting, and Matthew Stover's ROTS novelization. Next week we'll do a complimentary episode w...

When you think of the term "leader", what characters come to mind within the world of Star Wars? When you think of them, do you also think of them as inspiring, driven, good-hearted, and empathetic? We bet you did, because those are just a few of the reasons why you thought of them! In this episode, we look at some of the characters WE would follow into battle within Star Wars; the chara...

We've all got a story about how Star Wars has helped us through hard times. We wanted to share these stories so our listeners know they are not alone in their struggles. We opened up our inbox and asked people to submit examples of how Star Wars has helped them--and boy did you all deliver!!! We got so many submissions that we will have to do a part 2 sometime in the near future. It's our...

We all know Anakin was a huge influence on Ahsoka, but Obi-Wan was a major influence on how she "grew up" throughout the Clone Wars as well. In this episode, we discuss the types of interactions Ahsoka and Obi-Wan share throughout the series and how we think Obi-Wan impacted the person Ahsoka became. She is, above all, the perfect balance between the strengths of Anakin Skywalker and Obi...

We're happy for any excuse to dive back into Andor !!! This week, we revisit a Star Wars masterpiece by talking about our favorite quotes from the show. But we don't just focus on the written word. We dig into the performances, the circumstances, and the larger implications of this INCREDIBLE script. Tony Gilroy, please be our friend!!! We love you! Talking about Cassian Andor, Mon Mothma,...
