And Kathleen Kennedy is to blame no doubt.
The entire franchise was not only explored and fleshed out almost fully years ago, but had properly explained the Force, all the various users of it, Emperor Palpatine, his real motivation behind creating The Empire, etc. Even stories revolving around the children of Luke, and Leia & Han and other characters were well done enough to satisfy og Star Wars fans. From the first films release in 1977 to the eventual move to novels and comic books, the latter of which fully took the reigns during the late 2000s, and ended in 2011 and directly there after. EVERYTHING needed to create more movies and tales had already been done to compltion, and the world could have been in awe and given over a handful of films continuing the direct saga of Star Wars... But it was not to be simply because of the idiots at Disney that never bothered to read a single comic or book on the franchise.
And as a result, the show of Obi Wan is but another retcon and reimagining which does not pay proper homage, respect, or tribute to how the epic mythos of Star Wars could have, and should have been. Instead we are subject to a fairly boring, lazy, and pulled out of thin air meaningless romp that felt as hollow as the 7th through 9th films of recent years that helped to spell the downfall of what was once so great and awesome.
The only reason I gave Obi Wan a 5/10 was due to Haden's return since nobody else should have played the character of Anakin/Darth Vader. I have no idea if the fellow has been doing well or needed the money, but at the least I am sure he and Ewan Mcgregor had some respect and loyalty to the true nature of how Star Wrs used to be...and thus gave us something akin to a minor amount of satisfaction. We all know how things end with the franchise. We all know what happens to all the characters. They can keep pumping out Mandalorian or Fett stories or anything, but Disney has tarnished, if not almost completely ruined Star Wars.
Stick to the first 6 movies at least, and at most include Rogue One, The CGI Clone Wars show, and articles regarding the novels surrounding the years after Return of the Jedi that were written over a decade ago. I mean you can even include Rebels, The Bad Batch, and Mandalorian for all I care. Its just sad how little it all matters anymore thanks to all the blundering and idiocy from Diseny and their flunkies. *smfh *
