    What a sad thing to write about. Ive been a fan all of my life. Im 42. I coundnt give a crap that music you hoped would be in obi wan, wasnt. But to cry so hard? Its as if millions of brain cells suddenly croed out, and then went silent

      Seriously…

      I came to say the same thing. I’ve been a fan since 1977. I work in PR because I wanted to play with Star Wars toys (I accomplished this goal and rolled multiple midnight Star Wars toy release). This is not a betrayal. Who cares?

    3. Ja

      Yup. I mean think of what a closed loop you must be in to think this was a general or even moderate reaction statistically….

      The duel of the fates wasn’t played because there was no turning of fates that could happen in this battle. Anakin/Vader had already made his choice to join the dark side quite apparent at this point. The duel of the fates was played in the maul battle because the fate of anakin was at stake. If Qui-gon lived, anakin would be trained by someone who could understand and mentor the boy in a way his anger wouldn’t take control. When Qui-Gon lost, anakin’s fate shifted to the dark side.

      Couldn’t give a crap. Takes time to comment anyway… Totally makes sense… /sarc

    Remember when you guys would write about useful things? Over the last year or so this site has been nothing but outright lies, or misplaced complaining.

      Thank you. Reading this nonsense made my head hurt. It’s stupidity at its worst.

    It’s like my Mother used to say “some people will complain, even if you hang them with a new rope”.

    The old music doesn’t even fit the theme or tone of that scene in OWK. Maybe that’s why the folks involved in production didn’t use it… sometimes fans so flipping stupid. (Been one since 1977, so…)

    No fans on the social groups griped about this at all. I think this is pretty isolated to the writer’s own dismay. No doubt some people out there probably wished the music had some callbacks to connect things the way John Williams always masterfully does, but I’ve only seen great comments coming from episode 6 of Kenobi. I call Bantha fodder.

    There’s a lot of whining about OWK on social media and Youtube.
    I’m the first to hate woke destruction of our pop culture but this show was largely free of it with the exception of Obi Wan getting the Last Jedi Luke treatment for all but the last episode. He was portrayed as a weak, grumpy, pessimistic old man who’d given up on the ways of the Jedi, which was totally out of character, especially given he needs to keep his skills up to be able to watch over and eventually teach Luke.
    In the last episode he was redeemed in an awesome duel. I thought the music was fine, DOTF would’ve been cool but it wasn’t a deal breaker.
    I’m disappointed in the number of people wanting to poke holes in OWK last episode when there are many bad things about the first 5 episodes, the immortal Reva who wants to kill kids to get revenge for….killed…kids?…..

    Jeeeezus. This is complaining for complaining sake.

  8. Shane P Dalton

    I could careless about the music. Today’s fans are just toxic to everything.

    I agreed 100% on struggle’s with Boba Fett- writing was awful and pandered to demographics (had the writer Eve seen Star Wats?) but Bryce Dallas Howard stepped in and saved the series.
    Obi Wan Kenobi series with exception of the child actress’ and some chase scenes seeming a bit 3 stooges-ish where it was clumsy and not believable that adults couldn’t have easily caught her(maybe that’s editing?) so now the music- going to have to disagree. The fight scene between Dartb V. And Obi W were stellar! Watching the scene a couple times- the music doesn’t detract from it. In fact, compared with the scenes from original trilogy being cited it actually was a fresh take IMHO. John Willliams -maestro extraordinaire. Holt’s work is different. The story, Ewan MacGregir’s portrayal of Obi Wan, and the writing were excellent.

    Duel of the Fates wasn’t included because it wasn’t a duel of the fates. It was a personal vendetta that Vader had against Obi-Wan. Maul was on a mission from the emperor. Vader was not. These “fans” don’t really think things through, before they start complaining. The same could be said for the writers of articles like this.

    I don’t know what the actual music used in this segment was (I don’t have Disney+, so I haven’t seen the Obi-Wan Kenobi series), but I have to say the music in this fan version was PERFECT for the segment and I can’t see the actual music being any better.

  12. Backcountry164

    Star Wars is just content for Disney plus. They could not possibly care less about trivial things like this. All they want is more and more stuff for their subscribers to scroll through. Does this do that? Yes. Mission accomplished. Expect more of the same. Lots and lots more…

  13. Lorena

    I think Obi wan has been an AWESOME show. The last episode was so awesome!!!!! He sure did beat up Vader!

  14. AH

    i liked the final episode. music did not distract. rge previous 5 were, to be kind, lame. love the young actress who played the princess, and it was good to see jimmy back.

  15. Stace

    Oh, boo-hoo.

    We do seem to complain overly much, but I have struggled with what seems a certain ..lack or loss of energy in some of Disneys Star Wars stuff. Honestly, I just don’t think anything can hit the energy and excitement of the original trilogy and I think the last trilogy completely misunderstood the integrity of Luke
    but I may be biased as that was what I saw back in the 70s. Having said that I agree that every creative individual is just simply going to bring their own vision to the material and nothing is ever going to stay stagnant(hopefully).
