Episode #179 - 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Trailer & John Jackson Miller's 'Kenobi' Novel
In this episode’s opening, Kirsty recommends the following: - Cinema of Unease: A Personal Journey by Sam Neill, dir. Sam Neill and Judy Rymer And Rachael has these picks: - The Red Shoes, dir. Powell and Pressburger - Sunrise, dir. F. W. Murnau - The Tale of the Princess Kaguya, dir. Isao Takahata - The Northman, dir. Robert Eggers - Benedetta, dir. Paul Verhoeven We then move on to discuss the new poster and trailer for 'Obi-Wan Kenobi', as well as quickly covering the full schedule release for Star Wars Celebration 2022. We then progress to our spotlight discussion, which is focused on John Jackson Miller's 2013 novel 'Kenobi'. We share our thoughts on the book's themes (grief!), characters (Anileen!) and world-building (Tusken culture!), and give it a hearty recommendation. We're very interested to see how it compares with the eventual series. Many thanks to Christy Carew for the Scavenger's Hoard theme, and Nemling for our artwork.
