It’s not a Disney problem it’s. Lucasfilm problem as that’s how George ran it since 1977 when they made up the OT as they went along.
As a kindergartner when ANH was released(the first time) Obi-Wan having his own show is wild.
The OT still felt like the same universe to me. Unlike the new movies.
Shhhh, don’t tell Star Wars fans that Lucas actually didn’t plan out the OT. It’s their comfort pillow of a lie that they are somehow able to maintain despite the abundant amount of behind the scenes details contradicting it and the fact that Lucas himself admitted in 2010 they made the OT up as they went along.
But the original post said “singular vision”. You can still make it up along while having a singular vision. The Lord of Rings was made up as it was being written and it still feels like one book with the vision of one person.
No I’ve actually read these things called “books” instead of insulting people like a 12 year old troll.

I think the problem as well of casting a normal non alien black lady is she's almost sure to turn into a good guy and join Obi wan or become a tragic hero in death and thus a good guy at the end.
They made a better job then… yes even counting the prequel trilogy than they did in the sequel trilogy
. The final output does not scream it, there is an overarching progression and intent that feels like a guiding hand throughout. If it is not or it is, it is orthogonal…
Yeah, maybe they're breaking down this Obi-Wan only to build him back up by the end. The Obi-Wan that Tusken Raiders knew not to mess with in the OT.
He described himself as not the person Bail knew years ago. His confidence in himself is clearly shaken as a result of what happened with Anakin and presumably the total failure of the Jedi Order (an organisation he had dedicated his life to) to prevent the rise of Palpatine. Presumably if he arc of the show is going to be him rediscovering that belief in himself, particularly since that last episode ends with him being confronted with his biggest failure.
Nostalgia bait, that's the word. Pulling 5 minutes of footage out of the prequel trilogy was incredibly lazy. That's what they used to do in typical direct-to-dvd sequels.
That's usually the case with prequels. And I'm not confident anyone at Disney has the chops or the freedom to really come up with a story that will recontextualize the OT in any meaningful way. More likely what they come up with will detract from it.
Star Wars is now a category on a streaming service.
I'm half expecting this show to turn into a Silicon Valley episode where Dinesh accidentally wandered into a Star Wars film set and he's trying to find the exit from the holodeck.
This nailed it for me. I am usually not a fan of kid actors, but the kid playing Leia is actually pretty good. Wasn’t expecting the story to go this way. Really enjoying so far. Special effects are also incredible.
This is a TERRIBLE arc for obi Wan. We already know he ends up a random hermit on tattoine, so why start him off as a near vagrant, raise him back up to Jedi greatness, only to have him go back to seclusion?
He was behaving a bit schizo with his "we lost the war, just give up" attitude to the Jedi and later on he says the boy needs training.
I don't think it's the case that him being a hermit at the start of New Hope means he is in the same mental place that he's at at the start of this though. With the show he seems to be distancing himself from his past as much as possible because he's so troubled by it and is using looking out for Luke as an excuse for that. Whereas at the start of A New Hope he seems much more at peace with himself.
Because social media doesn’t believe in the concept of mother and fathers anymore.
Agree with the sequel movies. While there are old parts and new characters I like(I hope Holdo shows up somewhere) these D+ shows have been way better at connecting with the OT, Prequel and the cartoons. The moment with Ahsoka talking to Luke about Anakin felt natural for me. Thier shared history with him provided an easy kinship between them that worked in the scene without having to be explicitly developed. And I only know her character from Mandalorian and some background picked up from conversations. Maybe that's a real credit to the actress as well as the writers, director and others.
