One of the joys of the fourth episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi last week was how Ben Kenobi gradually began to revert back to his iconic Obi-Wan Kenobi self, and Joby Harold discussed that very welcome return to form.
EW: Could episode 4 essentially be titled “How Obi-Wan Got His Groove Back”? Because we definitely see him calling upon and using the Force successfully a lot more in this installment.
JH: The show, by design, across the six chapters, is a little bit about Obi-Wan getting his groove back. And step by step we get to enjoy that. And I think episode 4 is the rubber’s meeting the road a little bit, and a fun opportunity to see him do it.
EW: He looked better, but he was only really taking on stormtroopers, so how powerful is he at this point in terms of reclaiming his old prowess?
JH: Just stormtrooper-level. That’s low-hanging fruit, but it’s a necessary part of the journey to get to where he needs to be. So he’s doing what he needs to do.
