That explains his old Master's empathy in this scene.
The rematch between Obi-Wan and Vader explains why "Ben" wasn't shocked by his former Padawan's appearance in Episode IV, but how will the Jedi Master react to seeing what's become of Anakin? The last time they crossed paths, Obi-Wan left Anakin to burn for his role in destroying the Jedi Order, though we have to assume he somehow became aware that Emperor Palpatine "saved" him.Įither way, this particular rumour claims to shed some light on what happens when Obi-Wan is reunited with Vader, explaining that "Most everyone paraphrased the moment as Obi-Wan feeling slightly appalled and muttering something like 'Oh my god, what have they done to you? I’m so sorry.' He feels shocked and he feels sympathy for the sorry state of Anakin Skywalker."īetween this and what we've learned about how Anakin is now forced to start his day, it appears that while Vader and Palpatine "won" in Revenge of the Sith by toppling the Jedi Order, Obi-Wan's exile pales in comparison to what Vader goes through. With that, he tells his one-time pupil that he's been with him this whole time, and the stage is set for him to teach Obi-Wan his final lesson. Appearing on Tatooine as a Force Ghost, he supposedly stands in front of a shocked Obi-Wan, smiles, and asks what took him so long. That's just a voice cameo, and it will be in the sixth episode we get to see Neeson as Qui-Gon again. As you might expect, that inspires the Jedi to prevail in the battle against the monster once known as Anakin Skywalker.

Neeson will first "appear" in the Disney+ series as a voice guiding Kenobi during his lightsaber battle with Darth Vader, encouraging "Ben" to overcome the Sith Lord.

After all, it's been said on numerous occasions that the fallen Jedi Master is responsible for teaching his former Padawan how to live on through the Force after death, so it would make perfect sense to show us their reunion.Īpparently, Qui-Gon does indeed show up for an actual exchange with Obi-Wan. There's been a lot of speculation surrounding whether Obi-Wan Kenobi will feature a cameo appearance from Liam Neeson as Qui-Gon Jinn.
