Some KENOBI thoughts
mattkprovideo.com/2018/10/12/some-kenobi-thoughts/
Some random thoughts if I were writing the allegedly upcoming Ewan McGregor Kenobi film…….
the questions everyone has:
“Why did Kenobi say Annakin was already a great pilot?”
“Why did Kenobi say Annakin was murdered by Vader when Annakin WAS Vader?”
“Why does Luke keep the same last name as his father? Isn’t he supposed to be hiding?”
“Why did Kenobi keep his Jedi robes on if hes supposed to be in hiding?”
“Why does Kenobi live somewhat near Luke if he has no contact with him?”
( Luke has heard of “Old Ben” but apparently never met him. Or HAS he?)
OK my thoughts..
“Why did Kenobi say Annakin was already a great pilot?”
Well he WAS a great pod racing pilot and picked up space ship piloting very quickly.
Padmes pilot gives Annakin piloting lessons and we see him pilot a Naboo fighter with ease.
Besides I bet John Lennon “remembered Paul McCartney as being a great musician when he first met him”
even though he was not nearly as good as he would be later.
I wonder if in Lucas’s orignal ideas back in 1977, Annakin and Obi Wan were the same age. Maybe Annakin was a little bit younger.
“Vader was a pupil of mine….”
At least I always thought Lukes Father was a peer to Obi Wan when I first saw Star Wars.
“Why did Kenobi say Annakin was murdered by Vader when Annakin WAS Vader?”
Again, its likely Lucas simply changed his mind. If you read early drafts of Star Wars, Lucas original ideas were VASTLY different from what ended up in the film.
“Why does Luke keep the same last name as his infamous father? Isn’t he supposed to be hiding?”
Again, Lucas needed someone around him to say “NO” and avoid mistakes on the prequels.
In The Phantom Menace, they should have made little Annakin have some kind of different last name.
If Annakin was famous for being the first human to win Tatooines “Indy 500”
and presumably the story that this famous winner got off of Tatooine and into the Jedi…. would he be a local legend?
The “Slumdog Millionaire” of Tatooine?
Heres a fix they could use in the KENOBI film:
Maybe Kenobi and Uncle Owen DID try to use a fake name ( OR very logically, OWEN’s real last name!?!?!?!?!?!?!)
and maybe…. some traveller figured out who Luke really was and so Luke could be allowed to attend Public school he needed to produce a birth certificate and use his real name?
Wow thats a stretch….
Annakin should have had a different last name and Uncle Owen would have had the last name SKYWALKER, thus giving Luke that not famous, attention drawing last name.
Of course, they DID establish that Uncle Owen lives in a remote place far away from the bigger city where Watto owned Annakin.
Ben Kenobi and Uncle Owen seemed to get along OK when he drops the baby off to him at the end of Episode 3.
Perhaps then Obi Wan would visit the Lars homestead in the hopes of giving Luke some Jedi training.
Maybe the pre teen Luke would start to exhibit Force powers. Perhaps Luke caused some accidents or tragedies with his un developed powers.
OR… his using the Force attracted the attention of Imperial Forces?
Just as in The X-MEN comics and movies, Xavier and Magneto invent a way to find other mutants..
Maybe the Jedi have a way to find other force sensitives…
Remember that Yoda said of Luke ” Long have I watched this one” even though surely Yoda had never physically been to Tattooine.
Maybe the Emperor sends Vader back to Tatooine to investigate this “disturbance in the force”.
Maybe Vader doesn’t find Luke,
Maybe Obi Wan cast some kind of spell to confuse Vader or to hide Luke.
This incident could be what leads the locals to discover Kenobi’s real Last name . Perhaps Kenobi WASN’T so stupid as to keep his name while in hiding.
He just called himself “BEN” and no one on Tattooine knew his real last name until much later.
Either way, perhaps this leads Uncle Owen to tell Obi Wan to get lost and not get his adopted child mixed up in this melodrama.
Owen knows that Annakin turned into Darth Vader and doesn’t want this for Luke.
Kenobi stays away to honor a promise to Owen but stays relatively near to reveal himself to Luke when the moment is right.
Remember, in the first STAR WARS, Luke recognizes Kenobis face the instant he sees him. Hes met him before, or at least seen him.
“Why did Kenobi keep his Jedi robes on if he is supposed to be in hiding?”
This is kind of like Clark Kent wearing his Superman suit to a Daily Planet costume party. Incredibly stupid.
Star Wars fans all know that the idea to have young Kenobi and Qui Gonn ( and all the other Jedi) wear brown robes similar to Alec Guiness’s was to quickly let the audience know eho they are.
I didnt catch this at the time, but in EMPIRE Yoda is wearing similar clothes to “Old Ben”.
Heres a way out of this plot hole:
Kenobi DID try and change his name and DID ditch the Jedi robes.
But when Leia is over head in a Space Ship, theres a space battle that Luke watches ( in deleted scenes) perhaps Kenobi gets a message from the force that something big is afoot.
Since hes spying on Luke, he was watching Luke as Luke watches the space battle?
Kenobi could have heard about Leias battle by listening to a Star Wars type CB radio or Police Scanner in his hut?
Leia had undeveloped force powers and Kenobi gets a message from her without her even realizing it? ( The same way Luke sent a force message to Leia to come save him from that weather vane?
THEN he decides to pull his uniform robes out of the bottom of his trunk and go back into “active duty”?

Proof of Jim Jones Blasphemy
https://mattkprovideo.com/2018/10/08/proof-of-jim-jones-blasphemy/
Old video footage from the 1970s where the “Revered” Jim Jones doesn’t just claim to be a servant of God, or to have a message from God… but that
He IS God
here is a very rough transcript of his sermon;
1st Lady says that Jim Jones healed her child.
2:42 the second woman woman says that Jim Jones made her husbands business take off and that Jones somehow made her cars gas tank fill up on its own!
3:00 she says she has stopped worshipping a “Sky God” but now instead she loves “Father” ( Jones).
( A youtube commenter makes the intriguing but un-provable statement that ” I believe that second speaker is Deanna Mertle (aka Jeannie Mills), who defected in 1976 and was mysteriously murdered, along with her husband and one of their children, 4 years later.”
Who murdered Al and Jeannie Mills?
17:41
we want no help from some judgements
now we are looking for the key that is in every heart and breast
and I am the key on the Earth. I got the key from the Earth
14:36 now that’s my only purpose in being here
when that transition comes there shall be no need for Gods or any other kind of ideology
ritual tradition old religion. The opiate of the people shall be removed
? should be removed from the consciousness
14:52 should no longer have the need for anything religious
no need for concerns about tomorrows because every day will be heaven.
15 05 we will have the heaven that we have been taught
that we might be able to shine someones shoes in the throne room
but we shall have freedom right here now
marvelous
15 20 but in the meantime I come in the phenomenon of religion to get people out of religion
I have come to make one final dissolution
one final elimination
of all religious fever
eradicate it from the face of the earth
15:53 I shall do all miracles that you said
I shall come and heal all the diseases that you pray for that never happened
I gave her a message that saved her childs life.
16:07
You see all the gifts of ? moved down the aisle I told her I command
not only did she walk but she ran around
all that done so that I could command all saviour images
16”39 that there is no God but
16 5 1 God is perfect freedom, justice, equality
the only that that brings perfect freedom, justice equality in all its beauty all that is holiness is Socialism
17:10 in this dispensation I have taken up only my self a body the same one
17:13 and walked in the flames on an re and as Solomon said his hair is as black as a Raven
and as Isaiah said 7:20 Im not shaving with a razor
socialism will have no further need to have any intrusions into the affairs of man
mean are so dastardly what my spirit is
it is necessary for me to become the same and I,
(17:55) I shall show you from time to time proofs of that
and you shall have no further need of religion
because the highest authority
already tells you that you have no further need of it
I have come to do all the things you have ever imagined God to do and never seen done.
you have seen anyone resurrected before your eyes and yet you have seen me do it repeatedly.
29.34 you have never seen anyone shot down as i was before your eyes, with blood spurting from the body, and healed themselves , and yet I the socialist worker did that.
18:32 Its beautiful to know God is a socialist worker. You can Identify with that.
God is a socialist worker.
As one of the people.
Its an instrument of all that you desire.
all the freedom of races
everything that is sensitive of violence, that is what your God is.
And I just say it is a great effort to me,
19:04 in the meantime I shall be god.
and by this I mean
23:39 atmosphereic detetcion
when it comes to hatred I pass that
it onlyu boomerangs
all races surely
economic equality
the world is beginning to say the rich have had it too easy
povrty
where people were starving now they are fed
no drugs no dehabilitation from alcohol
as a common practice from using drugs
if it can work from a 3 dimensional scope
the only one who youve seen turn water into wine
28:52 its a false god and Ill nose that god out
but if you’re holding onto that “Sky God” Ill nose you ten licks at a time
Will Vinton R.I.P.
https://mattkprovideo.com/2018/10/05/will-vinton-r-i-p/
Born: November 17, 1947, McMinnville, OR
Died: October 4, 2018
The greatest innovator in American stop motion has unfortunately passed on.
I can remember seeing ads for his ” Rip Van Winkle” movie on HBO ( at my cousins house). I was so happy when I got to see it, it is such a strange and amazing movie.
Vinton went on to what i assume was financial success with his “California Raisins” commercials and TV specials in the 80s. ( I wonder if they actually sold more raisins because of those commercials?).
A lot of MTV’s videos had his animation in them. I say “his” even though Im sure he had dozens, if not hundreds, of assistants at times.
The amazing stop motion movie ” Coraline” was made by the LAIKA company, which was the remnants of Will Vintons old animation company. I don’t know the whole story, apparently Phil Knight, the owner of NIKE sneakers, invested in Vinton productions and for some reason pushed Will himself out and put his (Knights) son in charge.
I feel bad for Will Vinton in that regard, but theres no denying that CORALINE was amazing and I’m glad it was financed and released.

Rolling Stones ” Thousand Light Years from home”
https://mattkprovideo.com/2018/10/02/rolling-stones-thousand-light-years-from-home/
A lyric video of the Rolling Stones ” Thousand Light Years from home”
It has the look of soemthing done with paper cut out stop motion animation, but I highly suspect it was done in Adobe Photoshop and After Effects. They probably used grain filters to make it look like film from the 1960s.
I think this little short film is REALLY well made, really great to look at.
Little Rascals grown up

The TV show “Tomorrow with Tom Snyder ” did an episode with some of the “Our Gang” actors ( Spanky, Stymie, Darla and Buckwheat).
Fort Leonard Wood, 1965
Drill Sergeant 1965 US Army; Fort Leonard Wood
This is amusing as a time capsule and amusing at what Bulls–t it is.
I went to Fort Leonard Wood for Basic in 1988. The brown brick barracks looked the same. Everything else was different.
Drill sergeants are ” Father, friend, big brother”???. Umm no they were drill sergeants. SOB’s but thats what the role is. That BS about the drills hanging out with the recruits ( after hours!) and playing chess and ping pong with them? I can’t picture Drill Sgts EVER doing that in any time frame. I think this is PR propaganda for the parents about to send their sons off. Or maybe this was made to be shown in High Schools to get seniors to sign up.
At 5 25. The closest I ever came to that pool was crawling the woods to the left of screen.
At 23.24 I am almost positive that was MY barracks. It looks identical. BUT then again, all military barracks look almost identical.
This video was made way after my day. Probably also made to recruit High Schoolers.. but its much more realistic:
THIS is what I remember:
