That would have been a mess though, but this is definitely a mess nonetheless

[@TheJoker-gg8hc]

Disagree. We already have enough content with all three of those characters. I'm sick and tired of the same old boring generic Skywalker Saga time-line. I wish they'd either pick DIFFERENT characters to write stories about, or go to an entirely different time period and write different stories. You'd think two animated TV shows, an animated movie, three tv shows, and 11 movies would be enough, but no, they keep making more. Now there's even another Rey movie coming out. WHAT ABOUT A JANGO FETT MOVIE BASED ON STAR WARS BOUNTY HUNTER????? It would be a really good movie showing the competition between Jango Fett and Montross for the contract.

[@flazedog1647]

⁠​⁠@@TheJoker-gg8hc it would be cool to have a Jango get movie but they will definitely mess it up. Look at book of boba fett, they had all the material to make it good but they still mess it up. All they had to do was look a legend material but no

[@StormTroopaKoopa]

​@@TheJoker-gg8hc ​ I think the reason people would rather have more of Vader/ Maul/ Obi-Wan and the like is because they're already established main players in the Skywalker saga and that's safer to explore than shoehorning in half-baked side characters who'll ultimately take a back seat in the over arching story that just feel redundant and fan fiction-y. Bit of a waste of time imho. ​However I do partially agree with you. I especially agree with the bit you said about exploring a different era entirely with new fresh characters. Big thumbs up on that one. I've been saying to my IRL buddies for a long time now that I wish they'd either go way into the future to where Palpatine, Vader, and the Skywalkers are nothing more than mere legend in that timeline where people question if they ever truly existed at all OR, conversely, go waaaay back to the past before the idea of a "chosen one" isn't even an idea that could be possible. The Star Wars universe is so rich with lore that there's no reason to be anchored to this small section of time anymore. Disney would be better off striking out trying something entirely new than to keep taking a bludgeon to an already loved, albeit done to death era

[@jakeplayz8336]

Id pay to see this version of Kenobi. Id pay 250 dollars AND MORE to see Maul, Vader, Cody, Luke, Anakin all in one show or movie.

[@inmjoh]

The thing is, if they understood Star wars, there's an obvious way to fix that scene. The T-47, commonly called snow speeders, has a tow cable for retrieving cargo crates. Leia and Obi-Wan hide in a crate that is wheeled out by Tala, then have the t-47 use its harpoon and tow cable to snag the crate. You could even have Tala give orders to a droid to place the crates at the entrance of the hanger and have her hide in a crate as well. The speeders swoop in and grab the crates in seconds, instead of taking up time laying cover fire and parking for everyone to get on board. Much more believable. Especially considering the T-47 is a two person craft.

Not having Cody in kenobi was such a big mistake, even more so given his single appearance in bad batch before going AWOL

[@SecondBreakfastAndThreeH-zo3jp]

I feel so bad for Tem. First they wrote Boba terribly in his own show and gave half of the show to Din despite being called “The Book of Boba Fett”, then they ghosted Boba in Season 3 of The Mandalorian and left Tem hanging on the phone, then they ghosted Boba in The Bad Batch when the series is literally centered around his sister, and now this with Kenobi. I already find it somewhat messed up that Dee Bradley Baker voices so many of the clones while Tem/Jango is the clone template. They should make it up to Tem by giving him a gritty and mature Jango Fett animated series to voice in. Tem is one of if not the most passionate Star Wars actors when it comes to his characters. He deserves so much better. Tired of the Fetts being ghosted when they’re basically the OG Mandalorians, the OG Bounty Hunters, and Boba is the OG Clone. Give Tem an animated Jango series, and let him go all out in it. No childish kiddie garbage. Make it gritty, violent, and ruthless. The complete opposite of The Book of Boba Fett.

PLEASE, you, and EVERYONE, if you haven't already, embrace the One True Only God YHWH Jehovah, Only One Jesus Christ His Only Begotten Son and Lord and Savior of our souls and the Only One Holy Spirit. God is good. God is love. Jesus is Lord. Jesus IS coming. Your soul depends on it! I have seen God act in my life. He saved my soul, changed my heart, changed my mind, helped people through me, took care of people in my life, people I hurt before I found God. God is the only reason I was able to reconcile with my dad before he died. God worked through Jesus Christ to save our souls. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved. Be baptized in The Holy Spirit, and if He wills, water as well. Repent of your sins, accept God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit into your heart, that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins. For God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, that all who believe on Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to the Father Jehovah God but through Him. Not long after I got saved I prayed to God for help understanding the Holy Bible, and that same day someone knocked on my door asking me if I wanted to understand the Bible. The Holy Bible says, "love thy enemy", "turn the other cheek", "If your enemy is hungry, feed him", "if he is thirsty, give him a drink", "pray for those who persecute you", "do not repay evil for evil". LORD willing, all humans may commit sin of almost every kind (gay, straight), and that's wrong, and all humans sin, as God tells us through the The Holy Bible, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." The Holy Bible also says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."

What I love is that your reaction to initially hearing Beatties plan to have Kenobi leave tatooine was "Hell no" similar to a majority of people, then when you heard how they would actually implement it, you came around to the idea and that shows how to take a normally unpopular idea like Kenobi leaving Luke and turn that into a good story beat that even people who wouldn't like it can come around to it. Something that Disney just can't seem to be able to do with any of their projects.

[@jamesscott1009]

I think the disconnect is they put their typical money-making film formulas they’re well-Practiced in on a universe that wasn’t built on those formulas. Traditional Star Wars is closer to a WB or paramount produced script than Disney if you compare libraries imo. And Disney’s formula is always about converting franchises into other experiences than the film itself, eg, the park and exclusive hotel and experiences, the toys, and other commodities. All studios want to collect on those things, but there’s like an immediate formula applied to Disney projects to get as much value out of an IP as possible.

It's absolutely insane. I've not watched this video until now, cause I'm apathetic and completely checked out from Star Wars, but just hearing the synopsis of the script being read makes me want to cry. This feels like Star Wars, and it feels like what someone that understands Star Wars would be able to put together that revolves around between-trilogies Obi-Wan. Like Theory said, I haven't heard anything here that makes me pull back or lash out. It seemingly beautifully connects with both the prequel trilogy as well as the Clone Wars. It puts Maul and Vader onto the same playing field. It explains why Obi-Wan remained a hermit in the desert without approaching Luke in the original trilogy. It pulls out a lot of what fans really loved about the prequels and the Clone Wars and connects with the originals while not only avoiding to mess with what's there, it actually makes some things better. To have this at your fingertips and then serve us what we got in the Kenobi series is unforgivable. I have a hard time ranking it in terms of how unforgivable and disappointing it is, but it's up there with getting Mark, Carrie and Harrison on board for the sequel trilogy and not put them in ONE scene together.

So unfortunate, and I watched this on the same day that George said this in Cannes: “I was the one who really knew what Star Wars was … who actually knew this world, because there’s a lot to it. The Force, for example, nobody understood the Force,” he said. “When they started other ones after I sold the company, a lot of the ideas that were in [the original] sort of got lost. But that’s the way it is. You give it up, you give it up.”

I was watching Movie VI the other day, and that scene with Vader talking to Luke actually gave me that same reaction it gave the original writer. "Wait a minute, when did Obi-Wan think that way? Vader always saw him as a zealot, distant and unable to see nuance. I guess maybe the Kenobi show is when he got that impression!"

[@jksig229]

This script was absolutely incredible. This has made me sad.

[@agentcreed1029]

This just hurts. Who looked at this and said “nah this wont work” but then proceeded to look at the shhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHIT!!! We got and said “HOLY LUCAS GET THIS IN THE WORKS NOW!” What is wrong with these people? Are they just careless or just completely tone deaf? Or just both??? They literally had a WINNER film, IN THERE HANDS! Written by someone who knows his stuff and seemed to actually care about making a good star wars project! Instead, we get Kenobi hiding Leia in a trench coat Reva who didn’t make any sense and was just completely boring to the point you just skip her scenes Shaky cam for almost all the fights. Have Vader and Kenobi fight in the worst set choice they could’ve chosen, whilst using shaky cam AGAIN Kenobi leaves Luke, the Chosen one, the most important person in the galaxy unprotected Cody is just gone, he isn’t mentioned, hinted at and is just not involved at all. Cody, Kenobi’s clone commander of the 212th battalion, the second most important legion, is nowhere to be seen 😐 Leia, who’s 10, outruns mercenaries, full grown adults, hired by a supposedly competent inquisitor, because she slides down and ducks under branches for which the mercenaries can ALSO see, but decide to run into them because ‘bad guy stupid!’ Reva survives not 1, but 2 LIGHTSABER GUT STABS from Darth Vader and just survives because sabers stabs no longer kill. You have to just slice them and THEN they’ll die… Reva wants to become grand inquisition because she wants to get close to DARTH VADER and KILL him?!?! ‘BuT ShE WaNts ToO AvEnGe HeR DeAD JeDi FrIeNdS!’ Reva herself has already killed Jedi at this point…and her reasoning is because she wants to avenge said Jedi? Oh and of course she suddenly feels guilty and is now all “oh my god, if i kill Luke, then I’m exactly like Vader when he killed my friends!” Didn’t have that conundrum when you killed all the other Jedi up until then? Okay then… Spy lady reignites the fire to save Obi-Won…literally moments after Vader extinguished the same flame with a force push…did he just, lag out when the fire was ignited again? ‘We WaNtEd A CoOl BaCk ShOt Of VaDeR In FrOnT Of ThE FiRe!’ Congratulations, you made a decent shot with Vader in it…as if there isn’t already cool shots of him 😐 An entire company of stormtroopers crammed up, shooting at rebel goons ‘with shaky cam again because of course’ missing 95% of their shots because, of course. Vader pulls down the first ship, RIPS the whole side off of it and then proceeds to just stair at the second ship fly off. Again, why does Vader suddenly forget he has the force? Quick fix for that scene. Vader has the second ship in a hold, but then all the sudden Reva throws her saber at Vader. Vader stumbles, ship flies off, Reva pulls the saber back in her hand and then rushes Vader and THEN Vader completely out-skills Reva. Boom, problem solved! Reva kidnapped Leia because she found a connection in the archives…so the ISB never bothered to check the archives then? None of the officers on Inquisitorios checked them? 10 years since order 66, and NO ONE decided to check for any possible connections that Obi Wan might have had in the Clone Wars? Okay then… “I wont help you! I know full well what the empires capable of because they killed my wife!……..okay you have my help”…i hate my life This has already been pointed out but screw it. Vader has the entire star destroyer chase down 1 person instead of getting on his own ship his TIE-Defender or a literally any of the other small ships aboard and have the star destroyer chase down the rebels? Okay then. Spy lady literally SMACKS a stormtrooper in the helmet and he basically goes “OH GOD WHY, AH I CAN’T SEE-oh wait thats normal-AGH!” Way to make them a threat…again… Purge troopers were put in, had black clone armour, custom helmets and were pretty badass looking. Could’ve had them step out with the inquisitors on Tatooine like how in Fallen order Trilla has a squad of them accompany her. And YET, what did they do in Kenobi? They ran through a hallway, walked onto the platform of the fortress and were killed in BOTH scenes they were…great use of costumes… Speaking of Fallen Order, you mean to tell me, Fortress Inquisitorios, the main base that was ALREADY broken into 5 years before in the SAME WAY CAL DID! And no one decided to implement more security? How about some dark troopers? Squads of Purge troopers (who are trained to FIGHT force sensitives) patrol the hallways regularly? Have those big tall imperial droids (i forgot what they’re called sorry) with at least 5 or 8 stormtroopers patrol the base? Do we get that? ANY OF THAT?! Nah there’s just a probe droid and like 2 stormtroopers walking about…brilliant. 1 shot from a blaster was enough to crack the glass 😑 you built your base…in the ocean…and your hallways have windows that…crack from 1 shot from a regular E-11? WHO BUILT THIS?!?! Reva seriously said to Kenobi “WhY DiDn’T yOu SaVe Us!?” He was literally in the midst of fighting Grevious and commanding the 212th on Utapau. The end of the Clone Wars was at hand, why would he even be on Corascant? (Definitely spelt that wrong) Kenobi’s saber BOUNCES OFF Stormtrooper armour…over 100 million dollars in budget, and they can’t edit the saber cutting off an arm or a head? I swear someone made a video of a re edit of that scene that had the sabers actually cutting there head and limbs off? Those are all the things I could think of in the moment. Sorry for rambling, but hearing the script just made me want to rant. If you’ve actually read this, I thank you for doing. If I’ve gotten anything wrong please correct me and I apologise for getting anything wrong. Have a good day, and may the force be with you! (Star Wars video, i had to, okay now i’m gone)

All they had to do was say 'Yes.' They were even smartly hedging their bet - having the first film end on a satisfactory note in case it didn't do well commercially. All they had to say 'Yes' to one film, the audience would have shown up, there would be excitement about two more Kenobi films, and Star Wars would've been back.

[@yoseidman4166]

You are appreciated. It is clear why they keep making content that ignores the many great stories they could have used. Some things that can still be done (in addition to some of the leaked ideas you noted) 1. Obi Wan and QuaiGon Jinn Meditation / Training Segments 2. Cody and Obi Wan banter and adventures - Obi Wan helping the clones looking for purpose - they can come to him on Tatooine and he can help the Clone Underground without leaving Tatooine. 3. Obi Wan and Satine flashbacks as part of what Obi Wan has to deal with during his training with Quai Gon - They could make those flashbacks in animation - there is no law against mixing live action and animation. Let's get creative and make actual Star Wars not this horrible nonsense which is barely concealed activism.

Maul and Vadar in the sams film would have hyped the audience so much because then we'd all want to see Vadar and Maul cross paths and fight which would have been EPIC. Two apprentices to the same master fighting over who was the better sharper apprentice, who had the greater anger, and who deserved to be at Sidious side to then take over the galaxy and kill Sidious. That would have charged the fandom ssooooooooo much.

[@NuclearNuke41]

Well it wouldn't even be a fight if Maul challenged Vader. Probably the reason why it wasn't attempted in any of the film and series. Of course I wouldn't mind seeing them try, but there going to have to have someone backing up Maul if he faces Vader, probably Obiwan.
