Avatree Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I fully expect Ewan will get his way back into Star Wars. If Lucasfilm decides they should listen more to what fans want then this movie should be fine. Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan is just about the only thing in modern Star Wars that all fans unanimously like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be a matter of time, unfortunately. Those manchildren will get their way again. I may disagree with your shade towards an Obi Wan movie specifically but I fully agree with your general point.

Avatree Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Good riddance I would say. She has kept suck a tight leash on the creative choices and yet what she's forcing everyone to make feels nothing like Star Wars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically all the SW Story Projects have been thrown into Development Hell. It's not looking good for Kennedy at Lucasfilms. I don't share the hate for her shown here, but she made some really bad decisions, particularly on "Solo" (why wait until filming was 90% complete to fire the directors and go back to square one if she thought something was wrong with the footage she was getting?)SHould'nt she have noticied before?) Bad decisions that high up in the business world have consequences,paritiuclary if it cost the company a lot of money. The film business can be pretty rough;which is why the turnover of people in management positions in the film industry is a lot higher then most industries. "Solo" seemed like a project that could not miss;it missed. People are going to be fired when that happens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porthos Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Not the slightest bit surprised to see the alleged Fett film put on hold. Am a little surprised to see the Kenobi one allegedly put on hold. Still, I would point out one salient fact. Neither of these films were ever officially announced. The ones that have been announced are apparently still full systems go. All things being equal, I still think we'll get that Kenobi film sooner or later. Perhaps later now. Any other comments I might have are pretty much just useless noise. Except for one: I totally agree with that second point. I can see how they fell into this Apple-like secrecy trap. In many ways the fans were demanding it. shouting at the top of their lungs that they DIDN'T want to know what was coming. And the unprecedented success of TFA's rollout didn't help one jot when it came to restraining this impulse. But I think the time has come to shed it and embrace a more open path when it comes to marketing/discussing future films/projects. If it means that a film that gets announced gets cancelled, so be it. Not much worse than some of the comments already being made. So this is a learning experience for all involved. Now it's time to see if the right lessons are learned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium George Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 If they make obi wan, make it for less than $100m. OS don't care about this films any more. Spin-offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakiyyah6 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Obi-Wan was the side story that should have come out after Rogue One. They got cocky and made a film that most people groaned in displeasure at the very idea of. Solo had to be stellar to most to be a hit and most seem to believe that it isn't stellar, including critics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilmac Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 This was the right move by Kathleen Kennedy and Disney. Us fans have been saying for years - don’t oversaturate the market with Star Wars films. Let it simmer for a few years. It took a poor boxoffice performance to force their hand. I hope there is at least a three year difference between IX and whatever comes next.

I was really looking forward to seeing him as Obi-Wan again actually. I honestly don’t think the budget would have to be super high either. This one they could totally do for 100M give or take 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I really fail to see why this would need a higher budget than Logan if it's keeping him on Tattooine (it's not like Ewan would get paid anywhere near as much as Jackman anyways lmao).
