It would've been an amazing moment as Anakin shows his face for a moment before it's crushed. Obi-wan could've seen that for a moment his brother was there, and then Vader squashes it down and calls Anakin weak.

Literally all they care about are funding and installing others who are afflicted with or controlled by the mind-virus. Look up Deborah Chow and all what she did prior to the Kenobi series, a load of crap, women talking movies nobody but pretentious woke film festival ppl care about, directed a couple eps of CW shows, one episode of Mr.Robot and two episodes of Mando season 1. She never did anything of actual merit and bounced around everywhere. As serviceable a tv director as any other rando but not the type of creative you need or want on a Star Wars property (especially in a head position). The showrunner on Kenobi was Joby Harold, he's a producer and also not a creative that actually knows Star Wars. Look up his wikipedia. He was attached to a couple good projects but everything else is garbage just the same. He co-wrote the nonsensical cocaine fever dream that was Army of the Dead with Zack Snyder lol. They got scared of the woke mob and stripped Chris D'Elia of the role that woulda made the movie watchable ruining his big break over some infidelity (they are all garbage-people that sleep around, like they have any moral superiority whatsoever) and replaced him with the insufferable Tig Notaro because she's a woman/lesbian (it definitely wasn't due to her comedic chops smh she is right up there with Hannah Gadsby when it comes to "clapter")

[@AnonymousNoNayme]

30 Days and Collateral are both goated. If Stuart is reading this i want you to know i rewatch them with my dad every year. Also i'm one of the few that sees Vincent as a protagonist. If you take him at his word and don't make assumptions in bad faith (as one should) he was trying to help Max and dispel his delusions to make him more proactive with his life. He's not a sociopath. He demonstrates empathy and would have left Max alive at the end had he grew some balls. The whole film reminds me of the Raymond K. Hessel scene in Fight Club. You either LIVE...or you're already dead... Collateral changed my life and made me a better man. I don't blame others for my problems, i'm keenly aware of that type of "wishing on a star" delusional safety blanket that causes ppl to be idle and complacent like that and i tell ppl plainly when i detect it and help motivate them to do the things that need doing instead of putting it off because of that movie and SOOO many great things have happened in my life as a direct result of that mindset i couldn't begin to list them all.

Seeing the flashbacks of Anakin while Luke gets mad makes him worry yet again because he doesn't want to fail him again like he did Anakin. And at the end of Star Wars, he's there as a force ghost seeing Luke accomplish the mission and now knowing that he was successful with his training of Luke AND resurrecting Anakin. Why didn't Disney work with this guy??

[@indestructibleobject]

Fear. Solo didn't do well, and instead of being insightful and taking responsibility for Solo's poor performance (the story wasn't that good, it wasn't really the story people wanted, etc.) they essentially blamed it on the fans; "Oh, people don't want to see a movie about this character because they know he survives." That fear led them to cancel the Obi-Wan movie, and convince themselves that people wanted entirely new characters. And look where that's got them. Really just a lot of terrible, terrible decision making at the corporate level.

[@cornbreadNFrends]

@@indestructibleobject I don’t know Solo is underrated one of my favorite Disney movies.. most films that get a total or near total reshoots most of the time turn out horribly but what Ron Howard was able to do with what he had

Was REALLY not expecting a Steve Odekerk name drop. Kung Pow fucking rules. I love that guy!

[@philgoddard7708]

@starwarstheory right at the end of this video, watching the emotion you went through listening to Stuart’s take on your Windu idea and confrontation with Vader was wonderful. Both of you have so much empathy for this world and these characters it’s ‘delightful’ to see. Disney, please sort your shit out. We need Stuart leading the writing for some of your projects with Theory consulting. I’m hopeful.

Give Stuart the reigns of Lucasfilm. Very sharp guy who understands the Star Wars world to a T it seems.

@@jacklang4114 I will admit that, I didn't like Bad batch much, but it had alot of scenes like that, that I liked alot. Getting any amount of Clone Culture and personalities always made me happy. That's one of the many reasons Clone Wars slaps so hard. We men are suckers for Brotherhood.

[@JLOFlix]

So glad to see this, Theory, and I am so happy for you that you were able to speak so openly with Stuart!! I hope that you show him your work, for example the first Shards of the Past short film and your production art and samples from Vader 2 as well.

[@iandoxsee9797]

We were robbed !!! It’s so true how much attention to detail the Disney Star Wars projects are lacking. This guy really knows his stuff and wrote tasteful callbacks while maintaining the esthetic of what Star Wars is. Disney Star Wars just doesn’t have the same feel and it’s feels so surreal to watch these new projects and somehow connect them the original movies.

[@Easy_Breezy23]

I love how at 7:39, as he’s going into how Obi-Wan was feeling after ROTS. And mentions baby Luke, I love how Theory purked up in his chair. Allowing the little kid Star Wars fan come out. Now this is Star Wars!

[@RichardBejtlich41]

27:08 explaining why Kenobi accepted death in a heartbeat… genius 👏

[@lachieechoecho]

Thank you for this interview. As sad as it is that we didn’t get to see this, I’m glad to have heard that someone cared enough to write something so very good for Obi Wan. I say we consider this the cannon story, and forget the Disney series.

[@johnreinard]

I felt hope just from that interview. It took me back to my love of Star Wars. If only more people in charge had that passion imagine where we could be with this franchise

[@SpFlash1523]

I agree with Stuart. I like the idea of Mace Windu pretty much turning into Darth Maul; a silent assassin.

[@thatcrazylawnguy]

It's amazing to see what could have been but it's also completely tragic at the same time as a lifelong Star Wars fan who misses Star Wars. From fighting through snow to see ROTJ as a little boy to watching reviews now because I can't stand to watch the slop they are making now.

[@dennis1851]

As a fellow Aussie.. I love Stuart's pitch! Damn.. pitch them Season 2 Stuart. Star Wars, we, the audience and Star Wars fans around the world NEED your story to be told!!

Such a great interview, every star wars fan needs to see this, I just hope it gains so many more views as your other vids, the mans such a good writer because he is a fan and understands what he is making, I wish him the absolute best in that world, please Lucasfilm where are these ideas? This is what generates fandom and money for such a series

[@ExplainItAgainPlease]

Thanks for sharing this interview. Amazing not just how well he got Obi, since he must have cared about and studied the character for his movie take, but also immediately had a position on what would make sense for Mace's character in the timeline for your fan film. Clearly someone who cares about character arcs. Such a missed opportunity with his script.

[@Hebrew_hammer52]

Theory, i think after you make Vader 2, you need to get with this guy and make his original Kenobi Movies

[@h8ydencha0tic52]

Didn't he say he was making a comic after vader 3?

[@BeardAxeMcAxeBeard]

Yessssss!

[@davidmcaninch4714]

Don’t you get it?? Vader 2 isn’t gonna happen!!!!! Lucasfilms hate everything about Star Wars Theory and will do *EVERYTHING* in their power to make sure that he stays away from bringing back the franchise that they’re trying to destroy!!!!!!!!! Face it!!!!!!!! Star Wars is dead!!!!!!! The Force has faded away!!!!!!!!!! The hope is all gone!!!!!!!!!!! And why??????????? Because of “social justice,” that’s why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They put liberal politics ahead of telling us good stories!!!!!!!!! And if we don’t like it, *WE’RE* the villains!!!!!! We’re the “bigots!!!!!!!!!!!!” We’re the “racists!!!!!!!!!” We’re the “sexists!!!!!!!!!!” We’re the “homophobes!!!!!!!!” And if we try to stand up and voice our own opinions arguing otherwise, we get banned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@43:28 I think the smile tells us that Theory absolutely nailed this upcoming Vader Episode II. Because, you absolutely understand the world of Star Wars. Absolutely LOVED this interview, was amazing to hear Stuart Beattie’s Kenobi Trilogy Script… absolutely incredible, and only if we got this trilogy…

[@Tigermania]

Shows how bad things are at Disney that they can't see a good script when it's in their lap and don't appreciate when a writer has passion. I think from Stuarts short overview of the plot we can see it ties in to the right places in Star Wars. What a shame his vision has been lost to the current culture at Disney.

[@GuitarBeastKing]

It's crazy to think that Rian Johnson's "The Last Jedi" caused Solo to bomb, which resulted in all SW movie plans being scrapped, including this Kenobi trilogy. Absolute tragedy. That bonehead's movie caused ripple effects in the franchise which are still felt today. I agree SW would be in a different place had this trilogy (or even just 1 movie) been made. Thank you for the interview, had a blast watching it!

[@NinjaChris77]

Did you ever hear the tradegy of The Last Jedi?! I thought not. No, fr, it really is, that movie did more damage than we all thought!

[@Gyatso98]

What pisses me off the most about the whole Solo situation is that Disney refuses to acknowledge the ACTUAL reason why it didn’t perform well. Its the whole reason we got all these dead shows.

[@pistolbobcat420]

All the more reason I’ll never get why there’s a cult movement of people who defend it like they’ve never defended any other movie before

[@suchti5188]

Wouldn't suprise me if Rian Johnson sabotaged Star Wars on purpose.

[@grum7140]

The whole Sarlaac pit bit was a fantastic dark comedy concept. I love the idea of it being everyone’s trash can. And the Jawa slaying the massive creature was hilarious

[@Justtalkingbricks]

This guy offers Disney an open goal chance to make an awesome series of films, and yet somehow they manage to trip themselves up running to the ball, and it ends up going out for a throw in

[@sebastiannatera777]

So, the narrative structure would have been, reconnection, and then quest to confrontation. I really like the theme of letting go and the ball with dark Luke. Wow! Such a good concept. The key theme is needing is good ideas getting mangled and destroyed by Disney for reasons.

[@neoblakkrstal9865]

OMG!! Dude, PLEASE!! I beg of you. Publish this, even if it is in Legends, this story needs to be told. Listening to this, for the first time since The Last Jedi I felt that awe that I first felt in 1977 as a 12 year old boy sitting in the front row of the Chapel Hill Cinema. Thank you. Thank you so much. THIS is Star Wars!

[@fyrfly8768]

48 seconds in when he says he loved Starwars I knew why he wasnt allowed to make Starwars for Disney

[@xvivalaromanx]

Wow... Just wow. This would have been the three most coolest f****** movies ever!!!!!!!!

[@xvivalaromanx]

I used to watch the prequels or at least one of them every single week of my life until the sequels we're released. Episode 1 was the first Star Wars I had ever seen. It was more than a comfort zone it was a driving motivation behind every aspect of my life in one director or indirect way or another. These three movies, had they been made, probably would have taken that place.

[@missdannabanana]
