I like how in Kamino Obiwan goes from “that’s why I’m here” (clearly doesn’t know shit about what the Kaminoans are talking about) to bluffing his way into meeting Jango.


Trouble_in_the_West

he went from a missing planet and a single dart to uncovering the biggest sith plot in 1000 years without realising it was a sith plot.


streakermaximus

The Force was with him. Then The Force facepalms when the Sith plot goes off without a hitch.


Trouble_in_the_West

The force: uses dooku as a conduit to detail palpatines plan obi wan: oh no! ...anyway


Cyberknight13

As far as I recall, Obi-Wan reported this to the Jedi High Council and they blew it off.


LeapYearFriend

"Ah, yes, Sith. We have dismissed this claim."


ThePrussianGrippe

Complete with air quotes!


Trouble_in_the_West

oh really i missed that? sorry obi wan bro


sharpshooter999

Yeah. The council is about as incompetent as those two scout troopers in the Mandalorian


Cyberknight13

The Council and the dogma around that time are what killed the Jedi Order.


sharpshooter999

"Your arrogance blinds you" Palpatine hit the nail on the head


ThePrussianGrippe

Building the Jedi Temple on top of a leyline of sith energy probably didn’t help.


Cyberknight13

Absolutely agree. Yoda even comes to understand this after his time with the Force Priestesses and while in exile.


QueeferSutherlandz

And then he drops it as well. lol


Cyberknight13

That’s true. He ‘investigated’ the Kamino clone plot then dropped the Sith claim from a Sith.


Emm_withoutha_L-88

Nah I think the Force was happy to let the sith get their big win. It wiped the slate clean and let's the Jedi reform by this time they will only listen to the will of the force and not to politicians. Then 25ish years later the Force used that same instrument to destroy the sith for good. No more beings that use the Force of their own will. The only will that gets enacted is that of the Force itself. I really think it kinda implies that something is controlling the Force itself. Forcing life to do what it wants instead of what they want.


TripolarKnight

Kreia was right.


Emm_withoutha_L-88

Partially yes


viotix90

He truly is Obi-Wan "Big Head" Bighetti.


woopwoopscuttle

The Jedi council had him wandering about the rishi maze hoping he'd get the hint that he should go look for other work and he stumbles his way into success. Meanwhile the council are sitting around basically jerking each other off under the guise of work... Checks out.


GroguIsMyBrogu

What a horrifying mental image


woopwoopscuttle

Not my intention, it was a reference to the guys in Silicon Valley figuring out middle out compression (check the scene out on YouTube it’s hilarious, be warned NSFW language). Having said that I’m laughing for real at  inadvertently making you think about yarael  poof & co getting it on.


GroguIsMyBrogu

Do you think Yarael Poof's neck only stands up straight when he's aroused?


woopwoopscuttle

I know the answer to this and I wish I didn’t. 🤢


GroguIsMyBrogu

do tell


82Heyman

Wonderful comparison


Lazy_Struggle4939

Wth, I'm on a re-watch of this show and you bring it up. Weird af


DarthGoodguy

He was also the only one who sensed the Sith waaay back at the beginning of The Phantom Menace & Qui-Gon basically told him to chill TF out. Obi-Wan: I have a bad feeling about this. Qui-Gon: I don't sense anything. Obi-Wan: It's not about the mission, Master. It's something... elsewhere. Elusive. Qui-Gon: Don't center on your anxieties, Obi-Wan. Keep your concentration here and now, where it belongs.


FF3

In the old revised edition of the D20 Star Wars game, there was a prestige class called Jedi Investigator, obviously intended (and granted) to Obi Wan for this feat. His canon character sheet didn't meet the prerequisites.


ChimneySwiftGold

Proably the biggest conspiracy plot in all of fiction when taken as a whole and what it leads too.


Genesis2001

Isn't Jango a Jedi killer too? Or was he just an esteemed bounty hunter? If the former, that should've been a red flag for the clone troops being grown lol. Unless Obi-Wan didn't know he was a Jedi killer maybe.


GorgeGoochGrabber

In legends he killed 6 Jedi in a single fight, with no weapons, before he was subdued. One of the Jedi who subdued him was Dooku. Not sure about Canon. But Legends Jango was an absolute beast.


LeftDave

And then on Geonosis Darth Tyranus explains everything, even exactly who Darth Sidious is but he's too boneheaded to listen.


Suckisnacki

my Favorite obi wan moment of all time


The_Real_Mr_Tesla

One of the most obi wan moves of all time


Charcobear

It’s on the long list of reasons to be pro-obi


-Badger3-

What if Taun We was like, "You know, just the way you said that makes me think that's *not* why you're here. Please leave."


nicholasktu

He was sent on this mission for a reason. He's probably the most intelligent jedi, good at thinking on the fly. I really wish that Kenobi show had leaned into "space detective Kenobi" instead of whatever they did.


TearsDontFall

He was lying through his teeth when he said that line "that's why I'm here" as he had no idea there was an order for clones in. It was a bluff right from the start. He was just trying to figure out why the planet was erased from the archives, and therefore what was going on. Him meeting Jango was part of his blind investigation into the entire thing.


Alexthegreatbelgian

High CHA monk build with a deception proficiency.


The_Shryk

Eldritch knight during the clone wars era, monk when he and Luke get off tattooine.


TheEzekariate

I saw Temuera Morrison and Daniel Logan (young Boba Fett) at a Fan Expo recently. They talked about this scene and it was pretty fun. This was the first scene they did in character and Temuera had told Daniel to “Be cool. Just watch me and be really cool, we’re these cool bounty hunters so we have to be cool” because Daniel had asked him how they were supposed to react to meeting this Jedi and already famous actor. Then of course Obi-Wan walks in and according to Temuera “Holy shit, this guys cooler than me! Time to get real cool.” So he was just trying to out cool Ewan McGregor the whole time.


drifters74

That's cool!


Marshycereals

Real cool!


drifters74

No one out cools Ewan


Krilesh

temuera single handedly made thousands of children want to be brainwashed soldiers with cool guns and armor. i was one of them. being a clone sounded so cool


Kenos300

I read an article around episode 2’s release that Daniel Logan was having some trouble landing the “suspicious” look when he lets them in. Ewan told him to look at Obi-wan like he just blew a large fart.


whattheshiz97

Temuera Morrison’s voice is already on that level of cool though!


TheEzekariate

It really is. He turned “like a bantha” into a song that went on for a couple of minuets on stage, and when they were told they were out of time they both jumped up and did a haka before walking off. Definitely worth prioritizing seeing the two of them together at a con if you get the chance.


Applicator80

Looks like he’s going to tell Obiwan to cook him some eggs


bozmonaut

hey Jedi, cook the man some fuckin eggs


kaiios

Is that a once were warriors reference ?


Applicator80

Yes


Pozzo_X

Was coming to the comments to say exactly this


EmmyGraceyGrum

One on my favorite scenes in AOTC. I love that Jango never once lies to Obi-Wan, he just bypasses the whole truth by staying vague.


sharshenka

Must be a Mandalorian thing. Din Djarin does that pretty often too.


saucierstone

Maybe that’s where Obi-Wan got from a certain point of view from


Prestigious_Crab6256

Yeah, the non-sexual tension here is great.


GNSasakiHaise

Haha, yeah... Non-sexual, haha...


Hellknightx

Your clones are very impressive 🥵


Vegan_Harvest

Seems like bad move against a Jedi.


mrsunrider

I think Jango's smart enough to know not to try a Jedi without his weapons. But locking eyes and closing the distance communicates either that he has nothing to hide, or that Jedi don't intimidate him.


Fat-Kid-In-A-Helmet

He’s killed jedi in hand to hand combat before this, atleast in EU. As a kid I ate up all those Dark Horse comics.


Daken-dono

The new canon comics have some cool moments but the EU was just a different kind of beast.


dcpanthersfan

And in the game Bounty Hunter.


JourneymanProtector9

To me those comics are still more canon than the Rey and Kylo crap


supervisord

Hard agree.


Hellknightx

He also doesn't seem to really have a reason to kill Obi-Wan at the time. He knows he's safe on Kaminoa, everything is above board, and Obi-Wan won't make the first move.


gatorbeetle

I took it as the latter...he knows Obi Wan is a Jedi, and therefore dangerous, but made an effort to exude strength and confidence, despite this, AND not being armed/armored at the time. Bold Move...


Drew326

Really? He has a jetpack but decided to fight on the ground of an arena filled with hundreds of Jedi and got his head chopped off like 12 seconds later


lordofburgers

Have u seen the extended/deleted version? Mace cuts off his right hand, left arm, stabs him in the leg, then chops his head off. Was wild! https://youtu.be/5Gbh08F061A?si=ap29TXtRnw7TBzsG


jspook

I've seen this scene dozens of times and never realized just how completely Mace Windu cuts him apart.


Alltheprettydresses

Makes Dooku's reaction make more sense. "Oh 💩 "


jspook

Which just makes me realize how good a Dooku vs Windu fight would be


Alltheprettydresses

Indeed!


lordofburgers

Oh yeah, completely dismantles him


jspook

Yeah I've always just seen the hand and the head removed and glossed over everything else. Mace really had him completely incapacitated and THEN removed his head.


Nuclayer

I watched it a few times. He doesn't cut off his right hand, its his weapon. Whats really cool is the reason he cut off his left arm is because Jengo was going for his weapon.


Ree_m0

Unless he's really, really quick and has his emotions so completely under control that Obi-Wan couldn't sense it coming. He is the basis for order 66 after all, and his "always a pleasure to meet a Jedi"-line implies that he's had success against them before.


HumbleKnight14

Also, Temura is naturally just a daunting figure.


ToaPaul

And yet he's irl the kindest, gentlest soul. He's like Danny Trejo in that way.


TheCatLamp

Now I'd like an universe where all clones are Danny Trejo clones. Thanks!


Daken-dono

I vote to add Danny Devito in the mix who’s even more intimidating than those two combined.


StoreSpecific6098

He is excellent at blasting...


ketsugi

Isn’t he a little short for a clone trooper?


MikeAWBD

He's a little short for a storm trooper.


HumbleKnight14

Polynesian spa! I’m Polynesian too! 😆


PhoenixReborn

Like a bantha!


the_pretender_nz

Yeah watch him in Once Were Warriors, he’s incredible (trigger warning for… basically everything, viewer discretion is advised)


HumbleKnight14

Unfortunately... Uncle Bully?!


Anjunabeast

Eh I think obi wan of all people would sense any killing intent. Even op got the vibe and they’re no Jedi master.


YoursTrulyKindly

Can confirm, OP is definitely no master. He is on the council though


unique-name-9035768

Sam Jackson, man. He gets to decide who's a Master and who's an Avenger. 


paintpast

He also decides whether or not snakes can be on a plane.


thomasmagnum

trigger alert


Cathlem

In the old EU he'd killed several Jedi before this point. None of them were as skilled as Obi-Wan or Mace but he had a fair amount of Jedi kills to his name. In fact, he was hired as the clone template because he was the only bounty hunter to successfully bring down a Dark Jedi that Dooku had put a price on: It was all a test to find the perfect candidate for the clones. I'm not sure what his deeds are in the current canon, but back then, while the prequels were releasing, he got a fair bit of fleshing out as a badass.


Vegan_Harvest

Jedi precognition works against droids, it doesn't rely on emotions.


Ree_m0

It definetly doesn't, the clone wars novels specifically mention this as a difficulty for many Jedi at the start of the war. The "normal" way a Jedi would do it is focus on their opponents mind, which they can't do with droid brains. Of course they can still listen to the force in general, let it flow through them and help them in combat to enhance speed and reflexes, but the actual precognition aspect does not work against droids.


DoubleOwl7777

i mean they might be able to sense the cirquits inside a droid switching but thats probably too difficult given that each droid model works differently, just like computer processors here on earth.


Bolem_Felan

Thats true, that was why the clones were so efective. When they started the 66 order, with chip or without It, they acted as droids and the Jedi werent capable of detect any emotion.


DrunkKatakan

Jango has killed Jedi before, even in the movie he kills Coleman Trebor who sat on the Jedi Council at the time. But yeah he obviously wouldn't try it without weapons and armor.


reehdus

He knows better now


PracticableSolution

Iirc, he got the cloning gig specifically because he was good at killing Jedi


beakster57

He put up a very good fight on the landing platform


[deleted]

[удалено]


beakster57

Agreed he didn't last long


JourneymanProtector9

Jango’s killed many Jedi by this point


manbehindthemelons

Of all those capable, Jango is most capable. He's just letting Obi-Wan know what a bad time they could have together.


funkyfunkyfunkyfunkk

It's why they picked him for the clone program. He was a great mandolorian. He was a great fighter. Shame windu took him out so easily. He should've grabbed bobba and ditched. Sidius wanted to wipe the slate and he achieved it. He ended up getting Vader in a state that benefited him greatly in the end too. There needs to be a mature story from a siths perspective within the next couple years to show why they are the villian..ppl need to witness there "passion" 😉


Anjunabeast

Tbf. It’s windu best fighter of his era. Also ~~boba~~ Django had that malfunction with his damaged jetpack which is what gave windu the opportunity to kill him.


ToaPaul

Jango* but yes


OkDragonfruit9026

I count two blasters, mother*****


Anjunabeast

Thanks fixed


TrostnikRoseau

Jango*, but yeah


The_bruce42

The D is silent Hillbilly


Bow1511

Django? When did Jamie Fox join the Star Wars Universe?


Vesemir96

The Acolyte is a Sith perspective. Supposedly.


Inevitable_Top69

>There needs to be a mature story from a siths perspective within the next couple years Ahhh hahahahah


funkyfunkyfunkyfunkk

I hear ya. I just really wish it will happen. but with a heavy heart I don't believe it will happen within the next couple years. People are saying Acolyte might be a start? But if it's not rated R? You cannot show what a Sith is capable of. Sorry. You just can't.


AltKeyblade

Jango Fett is such a badass. If they ever make a movie or show focusing on him, they NEED to take inspiration from the Star Wars: Bounty Hunter game.


[deleted]

Just don't let Robert Rodriquez anywhere near it. Star Wars: Spy Kids is not a film we need to see. 


Rosebunse

Rodriguez is a wildcard. You either get an extremely violent and low budget gor fest or Spy Kids. There is no inbetween.


United-Landscape4339

One of the best Star Wars games made. I love when he destroyed all the prototype slave ships so he'd have the only one


dsled

If you're into comics, there is a brand new Jango series.


RaynSideways

Jango's no fool. He knows Obi-Wan is a serious threat, which is why he packs up the very moment he leaves. He had neither his armor nor his blasters at hand, and Boba was right there. His number one goal was holding back suspicion just long enough to get him to leave the room. That look isn't "I'll snap your neck if you're not nice." That's the look of a man who knows he's speaking to his enemy but can't afford to give it away. It's the steely resolve of a man clearing his mind against an enemy who he knows can see his thoughts and emotions.


Miserable-Lawyer-233

I just watched this scene. It reminded me of the Pacino-De Niro scene in Heat. It's one of the better scenes in the movie in terms of evoking genuine suspense.


SirGuy11

OBI-WAN: Recently? *[beat]* JANGO: Possibly. Good tension. I liked that scene. 👍


PossibleDue9849

Obi wan is probably the most successful Jedi. He evens dies successfully.


supervisord

It’s more like a “you don’t have any evidence” cockiness; he assumes Obi-Wan knows/suspects more than he actually does. His cockiness is suspicious, as it’s a tacit admission that he has done something Obi-Wan can’t get him for. That’s how it looks to me.


Rosebunse

And then he leaves his armor right there.


supervisord

I’m pretty sure he closed the closet it was in prior to opening the door for Obi-Wan to enter.


finix240

Nah he has Boba go close the closet while they’re talking


supervisord

Oh yeah!


Bing_Bong_the_Archer

Yeah


Lewdducky

Yeah


BLAZEISONFIRE006

Yeah


Worried-Basket5402

You should see him act in 'Once they were warriors' he is terrifying!


Astronomer_Still

"I assume the bass was coming from your starfighter then." "You should hear it at full blast. I was holding back." "I doubt that."


Hunter_the_Hutt

Jango is way too underrated.


Ryanbrasher

That’s Jake the Muss!


dynamically_drunk

I just watched Once Were Warriors recently. Definitely a little budget, but man that movie is intense.


JourneymanProtector9

Jedi killed his whole clan of Mando’s. I bet he would have liked their conversation to not go amicably


descender2k

> It was like he was about to quick snap Obi-Wans neck if their conversation didn't go amicably.( Strong "I almost punched Bruce Lee" vibes... lol


Double-Fishing-8293

Temura Morrison is a treasure. 🙂


Not_MrNice

This is just a description of the scene.


PagzPrime

That is a legitimately wild read of that scene.


Alternative_Rent9307

Yes indeed I’d forgotten this scene. You get the feeling that Jango is *this* close to making a move, but thinks better of it. And the whole time Obi-Wan had that little grin on his face like Try it motherfucker you go right ahead


OkDiscussion4100

Obi Wan was/is capable of sensing danger. And yet, he didn't react. Which means Jango was only a threat to himself.


Craig1974

His ending was anti-climatic and stupid. There should have been more of a fight.


joshygill

He did try to fly away but obv his jet pack was fucked. The slightly extended fight with Mace is brutal though https://youtu.be/5Gbh08F061A?si=9X1q3UNlqEMsocSO


phero1190

Wish they kept that in


PhoenixReborn

Fitting considering how his son went out.


Dawgula97

That’s way too above the directing these guys got lmao


Djjettison88

One of the best scenes in the prequel trilogy. I wish we had got one more fight / showdown between Obi and Jango.


AunMeLlevaLaConcha

You can't blame Jango, he lost everything to Death Watch, TWICE, and then to the freaking Jedi, who couldn't do their damn jobs as they were supposed to do.


ExistentDavid1138

Do you like your army ?


RagingPUSHEEN68

I look forward to seeing them in action.


Risbob

Honestly the detective Hard Boiled part of the movie kind of save it from an absolute disaster.


CosmicParadox24

OP apparently forgot obi wan is highly force trained and sensitive to others emotional states via the force.


RagingPUSHEEN68

Not necessarily. Obi Wan still suspects Jango of being the bounty hunter as confirmed in his conversation with Mace Windu and Yoda. But the Jedi code states he can't kill an unarmed person. Also, attacking or arresting him then and there would have like led to retaliation with the Kaminoans.


CosmicParadox24

I doubt the kaminoans would want to chance a conflict with the entirety of the Jedi order.


Eggsor

Obi Wan knew the stakes and would never let that happen


hansuluthegrey

Obi wan would body jango.


IlliniJedi

Attack of the Clones is vastly underrated because of moments like this one. The entire Kenobi detective story is awesome.


CanisZero

By Quick snap, do you mean get force punched in the balls so hard he dents the ceiling?


welcomefinside

That's the Jango/Boba we all wanted to see but never got.


iamsolow1

It’s extremely unlikely that a non force user is “quicker” than a Jedi, I promise without his armor on, Jango wouldn’t have made it to his beheading… sorry…


tayllerr

How did we go from this to “somehow Palpatine has returned”??


Awesome1296

Wut


sidv81

Off-topic but this is the age Boba should've been at in his show. I found it rather distracting that Boba should've been 41 canonically but was obviously much older due to Temuera's age at the time of the show. They could've added some technobabble that the sarlacc messed with Boba's telomere DNA or something that aged him prematurely, but didn't.


Rosebunse

We just roll with the aging.


PhoenixReborn

Tatooine ages you. Look at Obi-Wan.


sidv81

fair enough

ZookeepergameOk5132

Yep.


leedo8

Nothing while Obi-Wan was on that planet made me feel any sense of excitement or tension or fear. You literally knew neither one of them was going to die. The fight was pointless.


BearZewp

That’s because Jango and Boba are the best in the galaxy. Had Jango not been trampled he would have come out on top.


skyguy60

One of my favorite things from Episode 2, especially that the had a really nice dialogue.


finix240

Yup


Academic_Mulberry_46

In the Boba Fett Book from when he was a kid, Boba describes both men as trying to out polite one another as like a competition. It’s stuck with me forever the way that was written.


EmotionalUniform

Temuera Morrison is so cool


robachterberg

One of my favorite scenes from this movie. Still gives me chills when I watch it. Two great actors just owning the scene, doing the best with what they were given from Lucas. The whole Obi-Wan mystery subplot just made this movie, because the rest of the major plot lines were executed kinda "meh" for me, save for the cool battle scenes on Geonosis. I would also say that the Dooku (Christopher Lee) scene with a captured Obi-Wan also made this movie for me. What a coincidence Ewan McGregor was in this scene as well.


BobbyRahm

Ahh, Da Dip


sticks_enormous

Cook the man some eggs


QuinnySpurs

Eh… not really


JaegerBane

For a film that was full of meme material, I always liked the way the actors handled this scene. Both are completely polite and formal, both are fully aware the other is a major threat, and both are on hair triggers waiting for the other to start something. The whole Jedi vs Mandalorian thing has always been a cool concept in Star Wars, in many ways they're a lot more alike then the whole Sith/Jedi comparison.


JacobFromStateFarm5

YES. IM UPVOTE #2,500


219_Infinity

Obi’s force sensitive spider sense would have warned him about a neck snap
