Warning: This post contains spoilers about the season one finale of Disney+/Lucasfilm’s Obi-Wan Kenobi The season finale of Disney+/Lucasfilm’s Obi-Wan Kenobi wrapped up its six episode running-arc at what was 4 hours and 40 minutes in its entirety since May 27.You could essentially say that’s a very long Star Wars movie; 2017’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi being the longest at 2 hours and 32 minutes.Yes, hands down, this was a substantially improved series compared to The Book of Boba Fett, which had all its mojo stolen by The Mandalorian, living in that series’ shadow.
And there were some intriguing elements occurring here in the franchise post 2005’s Star Wars: Episode III – The Revenge of the Sith.
But overall, was Obi-Wan Kenobi good enough? How did it elevate the Star Wars canon? Half of the time it wasn’t doing that, and half of the time it was.The early swashbuckling days of little Princess Leia Organa was quite charming, however, how lame is it that she becomes the princess who’s continually kidnapped by the Imperials?
Surely, she can’t get kidnapped again before she’s taken hostage by Darth Vader and her planet Alderaan blown to bits. If Lucasfilm has that in the cards down the road, does Princess Leia fall in love with her Imperial captors ala Patty Hearst?However, the constant risk for Disney and Lucasfilm in expanding the classic character backstories of the Star Wars universe is that franchise architect George Lucas, at least on screen, didn’t go to the well often enough unlike Star Trek which was relentlessly tapped since its onset.For decades, Star Wars fans have been stuck in their rigid ideology of what works, doesn’t work and remains proper, in a universe that has a lot of blank holes.
