Should we start to have our hopes up?
Star Wars has been a bit like a bad relationship. Sometimes we get incredible pieces of entertainment, such as the season two finale for The Mandalorian. Then, Lucasfilm fires Gina Carano in a nasty PR maneuver that reminds us all how political things are behind the scenes. Then, people begin to give another chance due to Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni. People tune in for Luke training Grogu. That is followed up by rainbow-colored vespas and screwing up the Boba Fett character we all wanted to be “bad action.” So pardon everyone if we’re really, really skeptical of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
That said, Disney is very confident in this one. They’re so confident, they’re pinning much of their advertising pitch for future Disney+ commercials on this series. They’re so confident they’re going up against Stranger Things Volume 4 with this series. Will it pay off? I don’t know, but the trailer looks amazing.
I guess we’re all hoping at this point: “Please don’t screw this up. Please stop being overtly political for just six episodes.”
Can they do it?
