Obi-Wan Kenobi (Disney+) TV Show • Page 11

I'm about it.

 

Probably the most excited I’ve been for a Star Wars project since Force Awakens.

 

they can do way more with a 6-7 hour show than a 2.5 hr movie.

 

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. Just think this would have made a killing at the box office.

 

But also a 2.5 hour movie is usually always better than a 6 part mini series.

Yea in hindsight this seems like what should have been done, but if I was Kathleen Kennedy calling the shots, Obi-Wan with Ewan McGregor would have been the first spin-off movie I greenlight (instead of Solo), and maybe a Young Han Solo story would work better as a Disney+ show. People might be more forgiving of seeing a different actor playing that character if its a tv show

 

I'm typically team movie vs a show, but can we maybe watch the thing before we declare it should have been a movie instead?

 

you're insane!

 

This is Star Wars we're talking here. Every single irrelevant aspect needs to be debated for no apparent reason until everyone is completely sick of it

 

I’m glad we get to revisit Ewan because it’s probably the one thing that makes the most sense to revisit. Outside of this though, give me new shit. Different parts of the galaxy, new threats, new timelines, whatever is not Skywalker related.

 

...I'm very okay exploring more aspects of the empire. The inquisitors are bad ass. This is gonna be cool.

 

This is going to be rad. Obi-Wan and Anakin's relationship is one of the most interesting parts of the entire saga to me.

 

feel pretty confident this will be great

 

Do you know what hindsight means? Seems like you're using futuresight to decide the show you haven't seen should have been a movie?

 

I'm using evidence based on how many mini-series have unnecessary bloat. I'm not saying the show is not going to be good, just a well structured Obi-Wan movie could have been an awesome cinematic event. The hindsight is how Solo turned out, and how maybe that would have been better suited as the spinoff show.

 

From a Total Film interview that I can't find the exact link for. Hayden Christensen talks about the action and Vader of Kenobi.

"We’re more in line with the prequels than we are with how the fights are in the original trilogy," the actor confirmed. "These characters have aged, but not that much yet. Most of my work on this project was in preparation. The physical preparation was intense. I had to put on a decent amount of weight and size to fill up the suit. He is 100 per cent a fully realised Vader."

"This is, in a lot of ways, Vader in his prime. But he’s a very complex character, and there’s an inherent struggle of identity that is always present – there’s inner conflict,"Christensen continued, teasing what we can expect. "He’s always going to be struggling with the loss of Padmé. He’s got Anakin buried deep down inside. There always has to be that element of Anakin there, because he does eventually find redemption in the end – through the love of his son, no less. So there has to be that bit of him in there for Luke to be able to access. There’s a lot going on."

 

Debut the series now

 

My eyeballs need this

 

If Vader is truly shown how Christensen describes him then this will be a treat.

 

It seems that Vader will be a bigger part of this than I thought

 

I sure hope this rules.

 

this always feels so much farther away than it is. 9 days!

 

Hahaha yes

 

Kenobi wearing a lightsaber beanie, like a fuckin force helicopter.
