There are certain Star Wars stories outside of the movies where I can look at them and say, “Yeah, I can believe that these events happened between this movie and that movie. That’s plausible.” It doesn’t look like this show will be one of those stories. It feels much more like an alternate timeline.
If this had been a smaller-scale story, about Obi-Wan living his life and solving local conflicts on Tatooine, I might have thought differently.
And the thing is, you could still have a character arc about him struggling after the trauma he endured during Order 66, how his guilt has manifested in him becoming unbalanced and unable to connect with Qui-Gon. None of that would have to change! Such a disappointment that they decided to turn this into Episode III.5: The Obi-Wan and Baby Leia Chronicles.
