Star Wars fans love Star Wars trivia.
They lap it up.
More so when the Ob-Wan Kenobi digs in deep with massive amounts of call backs, references and trivia!
Here's 15 great pieces of trivia from the Obi-Wan Kenobi show starting Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christiansen.
- The communicators Kenobi and Tala use when skulking around the Inquisitor Fortress are the exact model used by Luke Skywalker and C3PO in A New Hope.
- The tired old Clone trooper veteran that Kenobi gives some credits to was indeed Temeura' Morrison - Morrison of course played the Clones in AOTC and Revenge of the Sith. He looks to be wearing a legit 501 uniform implying that he may have actually fought along side Kenobi in the Clone Wars.
- The breathing lung that Kenobi uses to sneak into the Fortress appears to the be same kind that he and Qui-Gon Jinn used in The Phantom Menace on the planet Naboo.
- The homing beacon Reva puts into Leia's droid - mirrors the same trick Vader did by tracking the Millennium Falcon in ANH
- When Kenobi and Vader first meet and fight, Vader fights with only one hand on his saber, showing the strength he has over Kenobi and this he is toying with him. When he burns this, it's a literal raking over the coals moment, one which clearly echoes and calls back to what happened on Mustapha, you know, when Kenobi had the high ground.
- The green coat young princess Leia wears is a call back to the green vest she wears on Endor in Return of the Jedi.
- Did you spot the Dathomirian (Darth Maul species) that Kenobi beats up the drug lab scene?
- The girl trying to convince Kenobi to buy the spice drug was Ewan McGregor's own real life daughter, Esther Rose McGregor. This scene is perhaps also a call back to Attack of the Clones when Obi-Wan is offered Death Sticks in the Club.
- This creature from Episode 2 is perhaps a reference to so-called Stilt creature that was ultimately cut from the original ANH film:
- The space ship model Luke has in his room in ANH turned out to have been a gift from Ben.
- Leia's kidnapper that does all the talking is Flea, the celebrated bassist from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Watch out, they're red hot!
- That indeed was indeed a C3PO cameo you spied during the political event on planet Alderaan.
- Vader's face mask has red lenses - this was nodded to in Revenge of the Sith - the part where the helmet is placed on Anakin's face.
- Zack Braff does the voice acting for the Empire sympathiser who drives the truck that takes Leia and Obi-Wan to the Storm Trooper check point.
- Kenobi reveals to Leia that he feels he used to have a brother but cannot remember because he left his family to become a Jedi.
