Remember the scene were Luke jumped out of his speeder only to find Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru's skeletons cooking in doorway? His reaction is how I feel about Star Wars today...

Your analogy is perfect. He was so thoroughly devastated that his spirit was crushed. 'What do I do now?' The real life answer: Become Catholic and go to church. Holy Mother Church has the best 'living story' becoming real history every day. You would simply be trading one story for another one you never knew was yours to inherit the whole time. Come, learn a new story. There's room for you here in the Catholic church. Just take a look at all the famous Catholic converts on YT. There's room for you here.

I honestly feel like the problems with Obi-Wan were more fundamental. The dialogue in New Hope strongly suggests that Obi-Wan and Vader have not met since the battle we saw in Episode III. Why was their meeting on the Death Star a case of the circle now being complete...was it not complete when they met again ten years prior? Leia's message to him also reeks of her unfamiliarity with him...she repeatedly mentions she's contacting him on behalf of her father, with no sense that they've ever met. And why does he let Vader live at the end? The problem is trying to wedge a story into a time frame where the outcome is already known. Obi-Wan can't die, Vader can't die, Luke and Leia can't die; where's the tension? The one thing we knew he did on Tatooine in the intervening years was train with Qui-Gon, which got maybe thirty seconds attention in the final episode. They had no story to tell, just a product to sell.

It honestly could've been done well if he'd been his same sad boy self and learned to overcome that with quigonn, either by overcoming it in a slow way incorporating unseen stuff from the prequels era or by showing him helping out tattooine locals to try and feel better but causing himself to get attention from the empire. It could've been a good show tbh

"The dialogue in New Hope strongly suggests that Obi-Wan and Vader have not met since the battle we saw in Episode III." Not only that, but it is outright stated so in the synopsis of one of the bonus story chapters in Revenge of the Sith video game. Which is why I naturally assumed that Obi-Wan and Darth Vader will not see each other in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. I was flabbergasted when they did.

Here's one thing about Obi-Wan that I'm still trying to wrap my head around. Reportedly, Kathleen Kennedy put the production on hold in January 2020 because she wasn't happy with the scripts. This begs an interesting question: Was it the subsequent rewrites that ruined the show, or was the original draft so unwatchable that any change was acceptable?

And while every scene that involved her felt lack luster and shoe horned every scene between Vader and Obi wan was amazing. I feel like Reva and the whole fortress story beats were forced in by Kathleen or her team.

My brilliant theory: It originally focussed on Obi Wan and Vader just like they told us, meaning that there were no female main characters in it. Kathleen didnt like that, so it was rewritten to have young Leia be the main character and created Reva to be the new villain. The imperial side character was probably a male before and they had probably some random inquisitor as the side villain. I wouldnt be surprised if KK just replaced the old writers and new ones that obviously never saw a single SW product rewrote everything. Then Dave Filoni snuck into the writers room and was like „if you put my Rebels OCs in here, I‘ll tell you how to use chameos and nostalgia for distracting the viewer from how bad the show really is“ and boom, the Kenobi Series as we all hate it was created.

It seems pretty consistent that the current leadership over Star Wars on screen doesn't have a high creative bar. With the exception of Mando, it's all been between medium and embarrassingly bad. Mando should really be the bar, with all things meeting or exceeding it. Star Wars used to be a major event where audiences would see things never seen before. Lucas was bold and always pushed it to the bleeding edge of technology to show audiences the future of filmmaking. I just don't see Star Wars being special until there's a change in the creative leadership to someone with a vision, ambition to leave audiences in awe, and the talent to reach that high bar.

Would it have the same energy as back then not even close but there is still ways to come close to that feeling. But if you do you rented it so invite friends or tell starwars fans about it online because im sure many would show up to get a chance to see them in theaters again or for the first time.

​@@PurplePeopleHatter You're right of course. Many people don't realize that even though it's called the Thrawn trilogy, Mara Jade is the main character of those books. She's the one with the character arc and has the most development. My issue is that with a character like Reva (and I'm talking about her because I brought her up in my first comment) people didn't seem to understand it was the writers' intent to make her unlikeable. She wasn't supposed to be right. And at the end she realizes how empty her pursuit of revenge is. It shouldn't matter if she's a girl-boss, she's the antagonist. Her behavior is supposed to be at odds with the audience so we can root for Obi-wan. And I'm only talking about Reva. You have someone like Holdo and yes the girl-boss thing ruined her character. But it feels like people are being purposely illiterate when it comes to Reva. Yeah Kenobi's plot was riddled with holes, but Reva's character arc was the one thing in that show that did make sense.

You nailed it. Disney Star Wars has a serious writing problem. Indeed, Hollywood does! However, you forgot to mention the NEGATIVE impact of Disney rushing to launch their own streaming platform (Disney+), which was hastened by the Covid Pandemic, but only compounded the existing writing problems. Many of the recent disappointing TV shows were originally intended to be movies, so when they were turned into TV shows a lot of poorly written "filler" content was added, budgets were stretched and quality checks lapsed.

With the release of the sequel trilogy and Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the overall consensus from everyone was *not* "Star Wars is back". Up until that point I was also a Star Wars fan, doing practically all the nerd stuff accompanied with it (books, movies, games, tabletop stuff). I loved the universe and idea of it all, growing to understand its complex yet simple storytelling. I did also come to accept the weaknesses, but stand firm in that the strengths and general ideas behind that story was great to build a universe from. It was never about perfect visuals anyway. Immediately, even during my first and only full watch of The Force Awakens, I saw what would come. There was a tell in the narrative that this wasn't a continuation and building upon what was already there, but that they not only disregarded the idea of Star Wars, they ridiculed and spat on it. It was a movie of the new generation - great visuals, and great audio, but vapid story and regard for the source material. Apart from Rogue One, that I feel builds fairly well with themes, mood etc. on the founding ideas - I fully agree with the rest. Star Wars has dwindled to another cheap cash-grab with weak identity and a vehicle to impose "modern morals". There's... just no heart left in it. Just roping people in for the money. Chasing young Leia with clown-music. But the real thing lives on. Just not in meatspace.

They are woefully bad ideas from a company that is happy to beat it's golden goose like a dead horse. Kudos to you for watching the Obi-Wan show to the end. I couldn't get past the third episode. Haven't watched Mando Season 3 or the Ahsoka show. Disney is a bad joke. They pissed and crapped on Star Wars after already burning it down to the ground. The only way to make Star Wars exciting again is by telling an all-new story set thousands of years in the future, with new characters from a really competent writing team of real Star Wars fans, and not hacks.

I agree with all your points, and would like to add something. Nothing in Star Wars feels threatening anymore. I know that you're gonna tell me about the stormtroopers of the originals and stuff, but that was the 70s and original movies still had a lot of suspenseful moments and the bad guys had real presence. Nowadays, huge firefights happen and nobody gets shot. Sith lords who force-grab blaster bolts mid-air lose lightsaber duels to coward plumbers who aren't even force users. Huge monsters doing a lot of CGI craziness but just can't touch or harm main characters. The list is endless, open a random episode of any one of these and you'll find a couple stuff that is so childishly easy. They do have some moments, but they probably produced those without noticing what they did right. The TIE fighter dashing towards our covert-ops team in Andor was genuinely scary, because it was filmed from a very grounded, first person perspective. You feel as if a fighter jet is closing on you and you're on the last moments of your life. Or how difficult getting a simple information through enemy lines, and how even the "good guys" commit atrocities "for the greater good". Find ways to make it challenging. Don't leave stupid backdoors for heroes to defeat an imperial garrison! Don't put characters into situations they would logically fail to defeat! Have them avoid, evade, get permanently hurt, lose people and barely make it out alive. Raise the stakes, take it seriously.

People don't want to admit that you can't make art by committee. That is the problem with all major high budget projects right now and it is endemic at Disney. There are no artists behind the current Star Wars projects, there are committees. I think we also just have to admit that George Lucas was a visionary and replicating what he had is impossible. People bashed him for the prequels, but he knew who he was making those movies for and they actually fit in the rest of the saga. The dude knew how to steer the ship. Nobody right now is able to carry on that legacy, not even Filoni. I think it is time to leave Disney Star Wars behind and look forward to new projects from the next visionary. Disney has proven time and time again that they are incapable of being creative. They literally are the comic book villain version of a soulless corporation. Star Wars should just be Public Domain and gifted to the fans because the big wigs don't know what they are doing.

The most important thing I think Disney should focus right now is how to fix Lightsabers and return them to their original state - not a bat (as seen when Kenobi is rescuing Leia) but a source of pure energy that'll cut anyone touching it.

Has anyone mentioned that, was there anyone who expected Kenobi to go halfway across the universe to protect Leia, especially since he hadn't, incontinuity, met her before a new hope. I agree, the actress who played Leia was fantastic. Also, everyone has too many extreme jedi powers, as if they are superheroes. Star wars in general. Quigon said the most relevant statement in Phantom, that Jedi can be killed. Also it's as if because the heroes are the heroes fighting for good, they can get out of any situation with insurmountable odds. Someone always had an electronic or a droid that can havk a system without any difficulty. It now makes r2d2 fixing a hyperdrive irrelevant. Also, stormtroopers are bad shots, and they have uniforms not armor, but, still, good doesn't always, if ever outweigh odds, even with, still human, Jedi on your side. That is almost the theme previous to A New Hope. We have these great spiritual lraders with nonviolent defensive powers, and this ideal government, BUT NO MATTER WHAT WE DO, WE CANNOT STP THE FALL, of the force, the government, and the galactic citizen, and especially and not least, the loss of the hope for redemption. Enough stormtroopers might at least shoot someone, even a nonfatal shot. I mean, i guess if they didn't just run out in the open with no cover one at a time. I watched a clip of star wars recently where the stormtroopers did the smartest thing that they could do, literally, they started firing their blasters, before they all ran through the door. I dont think I've see this before in Star Wars. I've rarely played a fitst person shooter or been in the military but it makes sense to me that you are constantly trying to get a better position in order to take down as many troops or the commander or the heavy machinery, mostly by taking cover. This VERY, rarely happens in star wars, because, good always rules over the odds, the force always rules over might, and even if its hypocritical, especially if the Jedi, violence is okay if your cause is noble enough, and, in the end, you will always win. All that said. OBI WAN SHOULD BE PROTECTING LUKE At least to some galactic degree. I mean uncle Owen tells Obi Wan to fck off and he slinks away into irrelevance.

You can make all the valid comments and criticisms that many have made over the years, but it really does just come down to them almost never giving us what we want, seemingly on purpose.

The only thing I would ever want to buy would be Star Wars action figures so I could record more episodes! I have a vivid memory of my dad teaching me to use the pause and unpause recording button on a phone, because when I would cut from scene to scene, I would cover the camera with my hand, and start humming a soundtrack for 5 minutes with a black screen to keep the audience entertained while I set up the next scene😂 So much nostalgia from that first clip Justus

Star wars has been ended after the return of the jedi. Also do something similar with the MCU. Forget everything after phase 3 and don't give any money to disney.

I really dont know, what Disney has become :( I was just seeing Lion King, out of nostalgia... and at the end, when Simba climbs Priderock to claim his kingom... this scene gives me chills after 30years, because of the story and the animators who managed to put sooooooooo much pride in a cartoon lion. I sat infront of the TV and i was like "Is this the same company that gives us shi**y remakes (Lion king, aladin,mulan etc.) the same company that turned the biggest franchise ever existed (Star Wars) and ruined it in just a few years? George Lucas isnt perfect, but there is one difference to Disney, $$$$ Lucas may become a billionare over Star Wars, BUT he wanted to tell his story, he had something in his mind "Space western with wizard samurais" and not one of the studios wanted his idea. Hell he was forced to leave the director guild, because he "dared" to lay the credits after the movie. But he sais "F you all, im doing it anyways" andyou can hate or like his remasters, love or hate the prequels, love or hate the dialouge, BUT one thing stays true. This man and his vison made billions of people watch and unite over his "vision" same with Roddenberry and Star Trek, love or hate him, but he changed the world. Without Star Trek or Star Wars, most of the spaceprogramms we had so far, wouldnt been made

I feel like they should have just announced a series called “inquisitors” or something like that. Have it all about the inquisitors hunting Jedi and make a main character trying to prove herself - Reva. I feel like as a standalone character she was pretty good, except they decided to throw her in the middle of something where we don’t care about her. Then she had no arc. No direction. If she were in a show all about the inquisitors I feel like that would be a badass show.

4:11 just keep in mind, the epic fight scene in Kenobi. They basically stole it from rebels, when Vader fights Asoka. Right down to having half of his mask removed. Then, during an interview with McGregor, it turns out that the one really nifty thing they did using the lighting to coincide with the voice was an accident. Apparently, instead of the metal rods they used to use the now basically use the FX light sabers you can buy for 300 bucks with the plastic tube that is lit up so they don’t have to do any special faxed add shadows or lighting and it saves a bunch of money. But they just randomly noticed that where they move their blades, shifting positions would make his face blue or red, and they decided to go with it.

Honestly, I don't think it's the actual writer's faults. If so many shows can be written by so many different people and be so consistently bad, then obviously it's the people who are there for all of them who have caused this - most notably Kathleen Kennedy (the President of Lucasfilm). Apparently it was her who suggested to (aka forced) Jon Favreau (who wrote the Mandalorian) to have Mando and Grogu's reunion be in the Book of Boba Fett, leading many fans to be really confused if they then went on to watch Mando season 3 without first watching Mr Fett's show. I also wouldn't be surprised if she was the one responsible for Sabine Wren's sudden and unfortunate aptitude for the Force (in Ahsoka), among other things, and she is most likely looming behind every character who survives a blaster shot or a lightsaber stab (honestly at this point why not just use swords). But thanks so much for making this, it's really amazing to have everyone's thoughts condensed so effectively, it's just that I feel the writers were not given much choice on their project's directions, so it would be a bit unfair to solely blame them.

Its increadble to see how such a huge franchise that ran on its own and made its own corperations like Lucas Arts and then it just falls into the void because they decided to side with disney. Disney had no idea what they were doing and ruined just like EA, Activision, and Ubisoft. It seems disney got us with its sick twisted mind games with kenobi and the last 2 star wars movies I hope you have a great day fellow fans.

When I saw the Force Awakens, I kept thinking I should be enjoying it more than I was. I *hated* starkiller base. I thought it was ridiculous and looked like it had been thought up in a business committee. It made absolutely no sense, and it took me completely out of the film in a horrible way. The films only got worse (I actually thought TROS was the best of the 3, though that's damning it with faint praise). They should NOT have used the original characters in the ST at all. The TV series have been hit and miss for the most part. None of them have been as bad as the sequel trilogy was though. The writing needs to be improved for sure (never let JJ Abrams touch *anything*). It's sad when you can sit there and watch the show and put together exactly how it could have been improved with some simple adjustments that the writers couldn't think of for whatever reason.

Here's a better idea for Reva's character, she hates Obi-Wan because he trained the guy who almost killed her and killed her. So she hates Kenobi for training him; and she wants to prove herself powerful enough by killing Vader's former master, but that's the secondary motivation. Her primary motivation is to become Darth Vader's apprentice; at least secretly, overthrow him and maybe join the Emperor as his appearance. Don't microwave sudo villain like in the the show, make her an actual like villain, she's dedicated to the dark side. The movie with the soft spot of once she eventually becomes empire she'll allow the Jedi to live in some limited capacity. When her plan goes south, Vader kills her there's none of that killing Luke stuff she just gets murdered by Vader.

Rule 1#, no more over emotional villians, Vader, tarken, the emperor all were menacing because they were menacing and in control, not throwing angry fits like small children Rule 2# no mary sues, if your going to have an insanely overpowered character there has to be a reason why. Not just because they're awesome. I'm sure there's alot more...

I agree 100% with your opinion that they should have let the Anakin reveal stay a secret, but I also couldn't help but notice another key difference due to your comparison with Spider-man. The closest comparison within Star Wars itself was the Luke scene at the end of Mandalorian Season 2. And it truly was spectacular. That one moment stopped me from abandoning Star Wars all together. I had major chills when he pulled down his hood. And this was all despite the fact I lost internet connection half way through the scene and had to wait about 3 minutes for the show to restart mid way through Luke fighting past the Dark Troopers. I was on the edge of my seat, absolutely desperate to know "Is that Luke Skywalker?" But it was missing one thing. The crowd. The video of the fans jumping up and screaming over Andrew Garfield. That's not generally a thing here in the UK. That sort of thing very rarely happens but when it does, it amps up the love. It happened with Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire. It also happened with the return of Luke, Han and Leia during Force Awakens. And it would most definitely have happened with Luke in Mandalorian, if it was shown in a cinema. And even when it doesn't happen. You still leave the theatre with your partner, your friends, your family, who ever you go with and you say OMG. I think of the Simpsons when Homer leaves the cinema saying "Who'd have thought it. Darth Vader turns out to be Luke Skywalker's Father." Instead, when I watched Mandalorian, I had to wait a week until I saw my best friend who I would have definitely seen it in the cinema with had it been a film, and I said to him, did you see it. And he said no. I'm behind. And so I guess i'm double bummed out about the loss of Star Wars to TV/ Streaming. Because Originally my point was just that you don't get the same atmosphere watching these scene in your front room as you do when you go to a cinema. But also, streaming shows looses it's edge as a must see experience. In the cinema, you have a 3-4 week opening to see it before you have to wait another few months for a physical release. You go when it's those 3-4 weeks, you gather friends and family and you all march into that theatre and you watch it together. On streaming, you can always hold off a week. Not finished that other show? That's fine, finish that and then watch Star Wars, it can wait. Been busy at work and want to wait until your a bit more awake to watch it? Fine , wait a few days, it can wait. Got a choice between watching Star Wars tonight or going to the pub with friends? Go to the pub, Star Wars can wait. Going to watch Star Wars today but then realized you need to go to the shop at some point to buy a new bookshelf for the study. Go to the shop, Star Wars can wait. Want to watch Mandalorian season 3, oh shit, has it really been that long and i've still not watched season 2? Guess it will have to wait. Streaming is just not as fun or exciting. It looses any sense of urgency. And when you finally watch Mandalorian season 2 but your friends have already seen it 4 weeks ago and are now on to Book of Boba Fett, then your excitement is falling on the ears of people trying to remember what happened again. So with that long essay written lol. I would say, for me, the biggest problem and what would help make Star Wars good again, is to stop with Disney + and make Star Wars an experience again. Make it a date to put in your calendars. A date to plan and to gather your friends and get your jedi cape out of the closet and travel to your local cinema to see again. Make it an event. Not some crappy TV show that's overly bloated, and closed off to people who don't want to have to pay Disney money every god damn month. Let the fans experience these stories together.

You say that the Reva is a pointless character... I can tell you the point: Disney's diversity quota. Black: Tick. Strong Woman: Tick. The most important thing in storytelling is having a cast of characters from a range of ethnicities. Seriously though, I dont think Disney are interested in making good Star Wars. I didnt even like TFA when it came out. I could tell it was a polished turd. I still went to TLJ and left with the same feeling. I thought it sucked, but, I had already detached myself from being a starwars fan so it wasn't as disappointing to me. More like, "yep, this confirms it". I had read so many of the EU book in the 90s and for them to throw all that in the trash and put these steaming shit piles up screen and call it cannon was all I could take. There are no excuses when Lucas offered them his ideas for the 3rd trilogy. When the EU already existed full of ideas. Disney doesnt care. They will say to themselves that "Star Wares fans will complain no matter what we put out" and cope with that kind of logic. Just let go of it. Star Wars is gone.

You can download the original OT theatrical releases with a little research and file sharing knowledge- two good restoration projects exist: Project 4K77/4K80/4K83 and Harmys Despecialized Editions, each has pros and cons, but both have all 3 movies 100% what we saw as kids, great proof that Han shot first. I like Harmys better for its sharper picture, but the sound and colorization of 4K77 was arguably a bit better. Check both out to pick your preference. Both teams must have spent thousands of hours going frame by frame to piece things together.

If Star Wars is bad now, then how come all of you didn't try harder to speak up. Face it, not only I am disappointed with Disney but I am disappointed with the fans, they were reasons why it was sold to Disney in the first place. Do you want to know why? The fans bullied Lucas, the cast from the Prequels and finally took pot shots at the movies when they came out. I am sorry that sound insulting but in the end I am right about them. Think about what I have said.

this video is being very... optimistic. with the mention of "The Farce Awakens" i think we saw 2 different movies or there are actually 2 different movies that has the same name - who knows. the only wrong turn was George Lucas selling Star Wars to Disney in the first place. i cant blame George Lucas entirely because i'm positive he was lied to by Disney executives just to get the rights to Lucas Arts (including other IPs such as Indiana Jones) and at that point all bets were off.

Finn and Rey being trained by Luke and then Rey going to the dark side for episode 2 would have been awesome

Hear me out tho, Luke could've still been absent, as for why idk, but Leia being a Jedi and the leader of the order due to Luke's disappearance would fit in plenty of ways. If they wanted to keep the Ben solo thing then Leia and Han splitting could be a bit more complex, with Leia handling it like a more classical Jedi and Han being broken and not receiving support from her, thus he goes back to who he was before he knew her, but they both still love eachother deeply. This would give Finn and Rey a master to teach them rather than just a Mary Sue and her friend. They could even have Leia be the one to die with the whole finding Luke thing ending up pointless because Luke actually shows up but is slightly too late to save her leading into the next film with the same broken Luke that has an arc alongside Rey and Finn but has a genuinely good reason to act and feel the way he does. Idk, there were countless way cooler ways they could've done every aspect of those films, I think that the flaws started with JJ's TFA being uninventive as fuck, the only truly unique part of that film was Finn

And, to cover the base of most fans wanting to see the OT cast together, have Leia explain Luke's disappearance as seeming out of the blue with them eating dinner or something just for him to never return afterwards, still not sure how Luke leaving could make good sense and be in character for him but there def is a good way to do it

JJ Abrams, Rian Johnson, the lady who called George Lucas sexist, yet not one Steven Spielberg Star Wars movie. If George knew they were lying, he would NEVER have sold it.

The best critique I’ve seen of the current state of Star Wars. As a lifelong fan, since the originals, Obi-Wan broke my heart.

Disney REMAKES. We need to bring Star Wars back. Even Mark Hamill agreed.

Well one of the rare times when i am typing first comment. I still in the beginning of the video so i have no idea about what u gonna talk . I want to say that dear star wars please make stories set after sequel trilogy. Creat new narrative, explore new places (you have a whole fukin galaxy) , create new mythologies , introduce new generations and film them with practical effects and love and respect. Not more of "oh look luke Skywalker " , "oh look darth vader" , oh look lando , oh look cantina guys .i am tired of that shit.....

I was 7 years old when New Hope came out. I watch Last Jedi amf my heart was broken... I refuse and will never watch Rise of Skywalker or Solo. Disney's refusal to include the old canon from countless novels and comics is their undoing. F Disney's Star Wars...

Thank you for your constructive criticisms and intelligent suggestions for improving the Star Wars Universe, from Disney. I agree with all of them! I wish they would learn from their mistakes. I’m so sad we never got the original cast back together the right way. What an incredible opportunity they blew.

I love Star Wars but I'm not obsessed with it like some within the fandom are to the point where it becomes part of their identity. Becoming obsessed with a fictional universe only leads to unhealthy outcomes. There's so much other content out there to enjoy that getting bogged down with just one thing is quite frankly absurd. I had a friend who was absolutely obsessed with Spider-Man comics to the point where he was actually harassing creators on the title for not telling the stories he wanted to read. It got so bad I just stopped talking to him because that's all he cared about and all he wanted to talk about. That's what obsession leads to, an ugly reality. So to all you people who take anything Disney produces so personally, please stop it. You're not going to get everything you want no matter how mad you get. Focus on the things you like and be happy with that. No one likes people who are obsessive and overly negative all the time.
