Obi-Wan Kenobi Trailer Reaction | Is Kenobi the Only Hope for Star Wars?
Obi-Wan Kenobi Trailer Reaction | Is Kenobi the Only Hope for Star Wars?
The official Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer is here and it is GREAT! Let's review!
In the very first Star Wars movie, released back in 1977, Luke Skywalker is cleaning his newly acquired droid R2-D2. In the process, he accidentally triggers a secret message sent from Princess Leia aboard the ship Tantive IV. A message that kickstarts the movie's second act and -- in many ways -- the Star Wars franchise as an enterprise:
"Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope."
It's a classic line. Maybe the defining line in a series packed with them. But in 2022, on May the Fourth of all days, it's a line that hits differently.
In May 2022, weeks ahead of Obi-Wan Kenobi's premiere on Disney Plus, it could be me delivering that line. Me: A bruised and battered Star Wars fan, watching aghast as Disney released clunker after clunker into the canon.
As I press play on the new trailer for the series, it could be me in hologram form: "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope."
And from a weird, meta perspective it could be Disney itself. Following a mixed big-budget trilogy and largely unsuccessful spinoff movies, chased by mediocre shows like The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi feels like a huge gamble for Disney. A do-or-die moment for a series languishing in the doldrums. A last hope.
Make no mistake: Star Wars, for the last decade at least, has sorta sucked. During that period Star Wars has taken me on a wild journey that began with anger, then acceptance, but that ultimately ended in complete indifference.
I simply don't care about Star Wars any more, and I don't think I'm alone. I'm not invested in its universe, its characters or its success. Star Wars -- that legendary tale that takes place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away -- has lost its mystique.
