Lucasfilm needs to let the past go. This and Boba Fett were so mediocre. It should be a telling sign that the only show with new characters and stories (Mando) is the only one that's succeeding to capture our hearts.
Obi Wan had a few fun moments with a solid climax but the rest of the show was full of boring filler, non-compelling new characters, and an on-the-nose precocious child Leía who could dodge adult assassins with a 10 year old light jog. The ultimate character journeys for Obi Wan and Anakin were not significantly expanded upon - we're left pretty much at the same place as the end of Revenge of the Sith.
Maybe some fans appreciate a plethora of content, but to me this seems like an uninspired notch on the bedpost for the Disney+ repertoire to present at shareholder meetings. Sagas have value because they have a beginning and end. Otherwise if we keep bleeding it dry there's nothing special about It anymore. I'd rather see new characters and new adventures and respect our old heroes by letting them rest in their place in history. Let's move forward.
