Obi Wan Kenobi

I was defiantly down on Star Wars like you guys after the last trilogy but then I started watching the Mandalorian and was like wow someone can still make good Star Wars. You guys give it a try if you like old school Star Wars I think you will like it.
I'm looking forward to projects where they get the fuck out of the Skywalker era of shit.
 
I’ve been enjoying it. Rumors of a second season being approved. I believe it was originally supposed to only be one.

Would love to see Maul come back too 👀

That would be awesome. They really didn’t take advantage of how bad ass of a character he could have been

Not to get too nerdy here but they did bring Maul back in the animated series and Obi-Wan and Maul do meet again all of which is cannon now so I don't know how much of that would be brought into the 2nd series.

I've never understood this sentiment. The Skywalker era is Star Wars. The shows have been great because they're still in that same framework, but they give focus to other great characters in that timeline.
I just don't think there's a lot of interesting stories left to tell in that framework and the Star Wars universe has been pretty robustly built out by non-Skywalker related projects that there is plenty of flexibility to live inside that universe without being constrained by the messiness associated with the 9 movies.
 
I feel like mando and Obi wan have both been really entertaining watches. I even enjoy the book of boba towards the end.

I would prefer if star wars went the series route instead of movies going forward. They can build stories and scenes so much better. I love a slow grind build.


1. Mando is Ohio State, Obi Wan is Nebraska. Both are in the Big 10 and have similar colors and similar stadiums… but one of them is way better than the other. ( 🙁 )


2. Agree that from now on Series > a stand alone Movie…but this Obi Wan series is way too stretched out. (Let’s call it the Strangers Things conundrum) With correct editing and pacing this show would only be ~3 one hour long episodes. BUT those 3 episodes would be great and would help to make up for this series destroying the longest/most established Star Wars canon we have (ex: my first posts with quotes from New Hope)

Not to mention the prequel boyz (McGregor & Christensen) deserve something good after 3 movies of everything CGI + some of the worst dialogue in Hollywood history.

3. I don’t hate this Obi Wan series, I just think it could have been so much better.
Also in 10 years Obi Wan is supposed to look like the GOAT Alec Guinness… could have at minimum put some grey in McGregor’s hair and beard.

I agree mando is vastly superior.
I feel like obi wan is more accessible for people who aren’t huge Star Wars nerds.

I haven’t felt obi wan drag at all personally. It’s not the best by any means. I kind of compare it to the Solo movie which wasn’t great. But it was enjoyable.
 
Is ok. I put it on about the same level as Mando. Not super impressed. Acting is mostly bad. Just a bit cheesy.

I'm actually with @Baron Winnebago wish they would make a series in the universe without it being tied to the movies. Mando is close but it was just so cheesy.
Probably not a popular opinion but I would liked the Mandalorian more if it didn't have baby Yoda. I was actually happy when he shipped him off to Luke and hoped he would get back to some more bounty hunting adventures. Same for Book of Boba Fett it was ok but Boba Fett is supposed to be one of the biggest bad asses in the galaxy I hope if they do a second season they will have more of bad ass Boba Fett adventures.

Yeah I was secretly hoping baby Yoda would get eaten by something.

They should have gone straight into the Thrawn series instead of making up some stupid shit story.
