If you like star wars movies and specifically the character of obi-wan Kenobi, you will probably rap to hear that
He's finally getting his own prequel
Again, do these films count as his I mean the first one was kind of Qui-Gon's movie. I guess
Hmm the second is anakin and padme's. YEAGHHH!
But you know what he really shines in part three just turning out to be the hero. We always envisioned
oh
you know what I say why not give him his own feature there seems to be a lot of unexplored potential for this character and
setting a movie between episode three and four is the
Perfect time period for him at the point in time where this video is going out
This is what we know the movie is slated for 2020 and the director will be Steven Daldry the man behind Billy elliot
There he is very small a rat sized man probably sleeps in a sock drawer
I do however have some concerns about this project
And I guess these new star wars films in general as I'm sure many or some or none others also do
Namely the lucasfilm has made it their priority to decide on a director for these spin-off films and then during production
pulling the handbrake and look I thought Rogue One was
Fine great third Act, but I like many or none or some are still interested in knowing what gareth edwards?
Originally envisioned as for the han solo movie
I understand the decision to axe the directors if the improvisational style was steering the movie in a different direction
But I'd rather see a funny
Totally weird han solo movie than a bland origin where it meets Chewbacca and nab the life-debt and then he meets
Lando and he wins the Falcon then he does the kessel run in the correct amount of parsecs
but hey
We still don't know what the finished product will be maybe it will be the best
Prequel ever made which would really be saying something or nothing
The point is if they've chosen this tiny little rat sized man. I want to see his vision
He'd clearly values character of a spectacle
That's his skilled some other department can handle the specifics of the action sequences
But the exploration of this failure of a man who as far as he knows trained the second worst person in the universe
de-limbed him robbed him and left him to burn to death in a fiery fiery pit should go to the guy who knows what it
Is to create complex,
interesting and flawed
Characters it also seems to be that a lot of properties and these new star wars films are guilty of this lean too heavily on
nostalgia like hey, it's the guy who doesn't like you either. Well, hey look it's space chess its space
Chess callbacks are fine, but you know what moving forward is also fine
if not preferable
But callbacks will be unavoidable
Six is a bulk of this movie will be set on a planet that we visited hang on, A New Hope, Return of the Jedi,
Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, Force Awakens six times yeah look I know it's Jakku
But it's a planet covered entirely in sand occupied by grubby monsters exploiting locals for their financial gain. They may as well have called it
Tatooine two, tatwoine, ah that's very good just thought of that then
So I guess there's two ways they can do this movie one set the entire film
Entirely on tatooine with Obi-Wan drawn out of hiding when someone comes looking for him like Darth Maul Did or perhaps he's going
head-To-head with the local crime syndicate like we saw in some recent comics, or two, have him take one last mission
Off planet leaving the boy
He's supposed to protect perhaps under the guise of a mission he feels he cannot ignore the idea has been floated that perhaps. He
Recognizes Darth vader as Anakin Skywalker and his compelled to either finish him off or turn him back
But obviously he fails to do either. I mean it's possible that they met up again. There's some wiggle room in Lines like this
When i left you i was but the learner
Now I am the master.
And also if Rey turns out to be related to him in episode eight then they can explore. How the hell that happened
would also be another incentive to get people into cinemas you know with all the mystery and the
Backstory if you did include someone like Darth vader
Yeah, you do run the risk of relying on these tried and true Star Wars characters
But still who wouldn't want to see a slightly younger obi-wan Kenobi face off against Darth vader in his prime
I'd say all or some or none of us
But I do like the idea that everyone starts off frustrated just sitting in the dirt on some shithole planet
And it'll take any excuse to Abandon his duty. Only if temporarily before realizing that hey,
Maybe it's not my job to topple the empire my place is and always will be watching this boy from a-far
And you know what maybe they could even old man logan it with the inclusion of mace windu
"We know that Jedi's can fall from Incredible heights and survived so apparently I
Am not dead" Sam Jackson keeps banging on about coming back
And I guess it's possible for that to work anything
Can, I mean in film even the dumbest idea
Can turn out to be great or just really dumb but whatever we end up getting I'm just hoping that after this movie
We move away from the revenge of the sith a new hope era
I mean by the time the Obi-Wan movie happens we'd have explored that time in rebels rogue one han solo
the current run of Star Wars comics that princess Leia comic the Lando comic and books
So many books there are other ears to explore old
Republic after Empire strikes back and in that 30 year gap between return of the Jedi and the Force awakens
I know, they're probably waiting till after the last Jedi to look into that, era
but frankly I'm sick of this time period Move on
Go decades in literally any direction and by that I mean one of the two directions
You can go because that's how time works, but perhaps. It doesn't work like that in the world of Star Wars
There's still some things we don't know about this map and heavy universe
We don't even know how big people are maybe humans are a hundred feet tall
But you can't tell because everyone's a hundred feet tall or perhaps everyone is as big as a rat's eyes director
It's one of fictions greatest mysteries along with what was the point of this this video I understood
I don't know. I didn't really have a goal in mind. I just kind of started going and then we're here
I probably just end up calling it how to kill the star wars universe or have star wars is killing Star Wars
I don't know that'll probably get people watching I mean a lot of viewers probably won't be happy with a misdirect
But which of any of us are really truly happy
