Kenobi: A Star Wars Story remains the best (imo) radical 3-in-one prequel take and probably the only way I’d revisit those films in the future. I think it would be great if someone else stepped in to give it a 1080p upgrade (the quality as it stands is curiously poor) and also reinsert Mace vs Sheeve, Anakin vs Padawans, and Anakin vs the Separatists on Mustafar to better flesh out his turn to the dark side.

This fan edit does some great things like reimages Maul as Darth Grevous and opens with the TPM’s Maul (now Darth Grevous) vs Qigon and Obi-Wan, and from there using almost exclusively what footage from AotC and RotS centers on Kenobi’s arc (arguably the strongest content throughout the prequels).

I’d go as far as saying that if given a few upgrades and tweaks this version would have made for a solid/superior one shot theatrical release as it tells a focused epic in under 2hrs.
