It’s a highly anticipated “too big to fail” type of production, but I’d have been content if it had a budget only about double Ewan’s salary and took place on the gritty Tatooine surface. He has PTSD nightmares, goes on spice benders, and is a stoic drunk. Qui-Gon gets real with him from time to time and his lightsaber collects dust on his nightstand next to broken beer bottles. Maybe he comes to hate himself he tries to see how long he can stare into the Suns. Maybe have a scene in which he hurls Anakin’s lightsaber into a canyon, then after calming down takes an afternoon to climb down to retrieve it. Maybe he helps the Jawas fix their car, or cheats at gambling with Cantina regulars to cover his tab. And of course helps needy strangers by mind-tricking the well-to-do into giving pittance. No one refers to him by “Obi-Wan” ever, and he leads a quiet life filled with little adventures.
