Obi-Wan Earns That Paycheck

Star Wars, Episode I, Part II: Coarse, Rough and Irritating

Artoo saves the gang for the first of what is surely at least a hundred times by now; it’s time once again for some coarse, rough, irritating sand.

We go back to the beginning, which is easily as weird and dorky as the middle and the end. (Also Obi-Wan’s terrible haircut is there.)

Naboo’s in trouble again, and Padme knows just the dorks to help her save the day.

Anakin is his usual calm self about everything; Mace has bad news for Obi-Wan.

Han, Leia and Chewie get an unexpected dinner guest; Obi-Wan and Yoda are once again no match for a Skywalker who’s set his mind on something.

Obi-Wan gets high on the Force; Qui-Gon’s got some thinking to do.

Maul tries to buddy up to some pirates in his latest attempt to ruin Obi-Wan’s life; Sheev’s got an idea.

Anakin is well on the Road to Nowhere Good; Dooku learns an important lesson the hard way.

Bail and Obi-Wan hit the road.

Obi-Wan’s only got a few moments left to live, and he’s going to spend literally all of them thinking about his two favorite people.
