Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 1 Stole Some Big Moments From A Video Game

 The Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ TV show lifted some major scenes from Jedi Fallen Order   what does this mean for a live-action Cal Kestis?

Obi-Wan Kenobi stole some of its best moments from the Jedi: Fallen Order game. Star Wars has always been something of a transmedia franchise; the first tie-in novel, Alan Dean Foster's Splinter of the Mind's Eye, was published before the release of The Empire Strikes Back. This approach has become even more notable in the Disney era, with a constant stream of live-action Disney+ TV shows. These have even featured the return of Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series.

Set during the Dark Times of the Empire's reign, Obi-Wan Kenobi drew on concepts that had already been explored in other mediums. It featured the Inquisitors, a group introduced in the Star Wars Rebels animated series who reported in directly to Darth Vader. The Inquisitors were tasked with hunting down the few Jedi who had survived Order 66, and that naturally meant Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda were at the top of their hit list. The origin of Darth Vader's Inquisitors was revealed in Marvel's tie-in comics, but it wasn't until the award-winning Jedi: Fallen Order game that their role in the Dark Times was explored in detail.

Jedi: Fallen Order also introduced what would become a key location for the Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ TV series. Situated in the Mustafar system on the moon Nur, the Fortress Inquisitorius serves as the base of operations for Darth Vader's dangerous servants. One of the Empire's more secure facilities, the Fortress Inquisitorius contains everything a Jedi-hunter could possibly need. To his horror, Obi-Wan Kenobi also discovered it houses a sick trophy room, where the Empire store the corpses of fallen Jedi for posterity.

 Although this particular idea was original, viewers may be surprised to learn how many plot points were drawn from Jedi: Fallen Order itself. In fact, on closer examination, Obi–Wan Kenobi's entire Fortress Inquisitorius sequence borrows several beats from the 2019 release.
