A recent fan-made theatrical cut of the Disney + show ObiWanKenobi forces the question of whether or not the series would work better as a StarWars movie.
Obi-Wan Kenobi launched this spring in a flurry of excitement that included breathless articles suddenly proclaiming the merits of the prequels. Fans not only hoped to see Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader again — the protagonists turned adversaries of Star Wars Episodes I-III — but they were also psyched to see them played by the original actors, Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen. As such, many were thrilled when the show debuted.
The second episode, in which Obi-Wan searches for the kidnapped Leia, feels a tad rushed, but the action and VFX are engaging, and the Inquisitor Reva makes for a sufficiently diabolical villain. More importantly, after spending way too much time on that insufferable sandball, Tatooine, in The Book of Boba Fett and The Mandalorian, Star Wars finally departs for a different hive of scum and villainy: the cool Blade-Runner-ish planet, Daiyu.
Unfortunately, the episode misses a beat when Obi-Wan is later trying to hold off a phalanx of stormtroopers and the ocean threatens to flood the corridor he’s in. He uses the Force to keep the plexiglass wall from imploding while being fired upon and all I could think was, “YOU HAVE A BREATHING APPARATUS WITH YOU. Put it in, drown these mothers, and swim out of there!”
Even the details are wrong, something for which Star Wars can typically be relied upon. After what we know that Star Destroyers can do with tractor beams and squads of TIEs, how they completely annihilated all those First Order cruisers in The Last Jedi, for example, suddenly Vader’s Star Destroyer can’t hit or catch a piece of junk that’s barely ahead of it . Finally, the filmmaking is subpar in this episode.
In contrast, the first act of his cut feels truncated and choppy without sufficient setup and exposition. For example, Patterson omits the scene in which Leia insults her cousin at a diplomatic reception on Alderaan, which isn’t a big deal, except he leaves in a later scene between Leia and her father, , in which he asks her to apologize for that incident, which is no longer in the movie.
