Oct 31st, 2023

Ladies and gentlemen, creatures of all species from galaxies far, far away, gather around the campfire of your internet browsers, for today, we’re diving into the wild and wonderful world of the Kenobi series on Disney+! But not just the original Kenobi series, oh no. We’re talking about the Patterson Edit that converted a meh series into a nostalgic film. Now, if you’re wondering who the heck Patterson is, don’t worry. You’re not alone. Patterson is like the Wookiee in the room that nobody ever noticed until they started expertly crafting their version of the beloved Star Wars character.

Alright, let’s jump in at Lightspeed.

If you’ve been living under a rock on Tatooine, you might not be aware of the Kenobi series. But seriously, who would want to live under a rock? It’s coarse, rough, and irritating, and it gets everywhere. The movie promises to be the hottest thing since Jabba the Hutt’s jacuzzi parties, and I, personally, can’t help but be stoked about it. Ewan McGregor is returning as Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Hayden Christensen is dusting off his Vader suit. How could you not be excited about the best thing since Jar Jar Binks?
