Disney has absolutely fumbled the biggest bag in cinematic history. They’re gonna study how much of a monumental fuck up Disney made with this franchise in the future.
Honestly, I don’t think Disney is gonna look back to it and think that. From where they stand right now, they’re probably gonna continue this path with everything that they own and believe that it’s amazing. They’ll completely ignore the reaction that the fans have and then blame it on something ridiculous unfortunately. I would love for them to look back and say “yeeeeaaah we fked up” because I’d pay money to be in that room when it happens lol
Even if they had gone with this story I'm pretty sure Disney would have made changes to fit the agenda into it and would have ruined it . Remember Kenobi was Kathleen Kennedy project.
Fumbling would imply that it was accidental. Everything Kathleen does is intentional. she chose agenda over good storytelling. There was no fumbling involved.

This guy took 1 line from return of the Jedi and created a trilogy of films that sound amazing! I can’t believe they said no to this and came up with what they delivered in Obi Wan?!
KennedyFilms doesn't care about "stories." They only care about "The Message," and that was obvious with Obi-Wasn't. Kennedy already had her mind made up about what the series would be about...grrrl power, and making sure Obi-Wasn't got "The Last Jedi" treatment (which they admitted).
They found something better... a black lesbian female writer! ...and a lesbian director. ...and lesbian actors. That's what's important in making a movie. (according to fürer Kennedy)
Notice how Reva was mentioned once or twice throughout him revealing what his original Kenobi story was, and she doesn't even last long. It's those who care the most that don't get to tell their stories
Man, just imagine Anakins reaction to Obiwan telling him Padme believed there was good in him. The emotion with his mask cut off 😭. THAT was definitely a missed opportunity for Obiwan to say
And knowing how good Hayden is with portraying the conflicting emotions in his face, we could've gotten an oscar worthy moment from him as he goes from shock, to love, to loss, to pain, to anger and then fury. It would've been an amazing moment as Anakin shows his face for a moment before it's crushed. Obi-wan could've seen that for a moment his brother was there, and then Vader squashes it down and calls Anakin weak. Obi-wan fully believing Anakin was dead after that would've been so believable it'd have hurt.
I can't believe didn't make that trilogy. My god that sounds amazing. The mad thing is. They could still do it, forget the TV show, just do that trilogy as the next one. I doubt the fans would mind. I'm so sad we didn't get that trilogy. They should get this guy to write the next trilogy.
heck, I will take a season 2 written by this man. He is clearly passionate about that Universe and that is the basis to get a good story out. Some writers from Andor could join too.
Theory please ask Stuart to look over or try and add to whatever script you come up with. I have total faith in your vision but to have the opportunity to let such a profession and a fan add his two cents, criticism, critique, whatever would be, for me, an honor. Would love to see you guys talk more this was one of the best Star Wars chats I’ve seen.. ever. God my inner nerd is pumped right now!!!
Exactly! I could see it in my mind's eye while he talked. That's what happened. -And I can barely even remember anything from most of the junk which was actually made.
To be fair, I do not necessarily WANT the movies to be written by fans... I want a competent screenwriter, with a good script, who understands the source material. HIm hiring fans as advisers, sure, but that's a bonus.
This literally just confirms that these new writers aren't actually coming up with ideas they are literally just taking other people's ideas and twisting them into garbage
It’s not entirely the writers fault. Clearly they are capable of creative writing, but as we see with this Kenobi trilogy, even the good ideas can get scrapped. It’s a Kathleen Kennedy thing. She has had so many projects get scrapped because of creative differences.
Seriously tho, what a missed opportunity, as someone who genuinely doesn’t mind the whole inhibitor chip concept I would’ve liked to see a Cody redemption arc, even if he doesn’t survive, let him go out a hero
I really don't like the idea of Cody redemption happening off-screen before the Obi-wan Kenobi story began. Obi-wan not having anyone to talk his trauma until the end, which works better with Qui-jon Having a guilt ridden Cody is too early because showing redemption can happen destroys the tension with Vader sorta. And Kenobi wasn't ever to trust anyone that wasn't Bail, Owen, or Beru. Neither the concept of Cody randomly finding Kenobi, as Rey found the Millennium Falcon and Han Solo random in all the galaxy
Because the execs who run Disney Lucas Films refuse to pay guys like Stuart Beattie what they’re worth and they want to keep all the credit for themselves.
It's clear that certain types of women (girl bosses like Kenedy) don't understand starwars they literally aspire to be Palpatine... from her perspective, the Jedi are evil...smh. unlimited power. Lol
So instead of using any of the cool bits of the story he'd made up, Disney thought nah, shredded it up and took the vanilla route with a legendary character where most of the plot might as well have been some generic space show focusing on a random dude, because that wasn't Obi-Wan.
What I liked about the start of this interview was how you let him speak without interruption. Too many interviewers interject, too soon...but this was just the right type of mellow hosting
Stuart's version of Kenobi sounds like Star Wars. The B plot I would of more likely to see with Cody dumping bounty hunters and seeing others throwing in stromtroopers and thinking "Ah Shit".... "Na, We cool Bro" type conversation. But no, we had the Kenobi show. What a let down.
I feel though that just dumping bodies in the Sarlacc pit would have cheapened the Jabba/Han thing as it seemed at the time that getting thrown to the Sarlacc was a pretty 'special' thing to have happen - not your everyday occurrence.
I'll be honest, I didn't know what to expect going into this interview. But I'm so glad I gave it a watch, because I'd honestly forgotten what it was like to see someone in the industry talk about Star Wars with the same love and enthusiasm that you see from folks like Theory. His storyline is so much more faithful to the characters and truly respects the personal journey of Obi-Wan and Luke. We definitely got robbed by studio execs that care more about buzzwords and box checks more than love of a good story.
I’m listening to this… and I have images in my head of Ewan and the rest of the cast doing the things he’s describing. It’s sad this didn’t come to reality, however, I’m grateful for him sharing it. B/c now we have a great story to think of. Nowhere near as good as what could have been, but at least we have it in our hearts and minds. And that’s better than it never having leaked. Great interview, Theory! TYVM!
Stuart is kind of man I definitely want to see as head of Star Wars universe. That passion, that understanding of characters... Damn, that was really nice to hear
@@mindfulcitizen1 Nah, we still good. It's a bajillion dollar franchise. There will come a time where they have to hit the emergency button and hire writers who actually like Star Wars. Might not be in our lifetimes but I still have faith.
If Stuart Beattie ever releases the scripts for his Obi-Wan Kenobi movie trilogy, I hope we’ll get Fan Films to adapt each one! I saw your Vader: Shards of the Past episode and I can’t wait for episode 2, and your fan film adapting the Darth Plagueis novel! Honestly, I wish Disney gave us these films. I wish they also gave their reasons why they cancelled certain projects instead of leaving us in the dark. Since they decided to change their strategy to switch from films to shows, why couldn’t the Kenobi show adapt his storylines instead? Why did they use a different script when they already had a written one? I would have loved to have seen more of Luke’s childhood, but it feels like Disney’s too focused on other things.
DEI hiring and favouring perceived "woke allies". It's all about THE MESSAGE when ideologues are in positions of power and Deborah Chow knew the right things to say to Kathleen Kennedy and Bob Iger. Literally all they care about are funding and installing others who are afflicted with or controlled by the mind-virus. Look up Deborah Chow and all what she did prior to the Kenobi series, a load of crap, women talking movies nobody but pretentious woke film festival ppl care about, directed a couple eps of CW shows, one episode of Mr.Robot and two episodes of Mando season 1. She never did anything of actual merit and bounced around everywhere. As serviceable a tv director as any other rando but not the type of creative you need or want on a Star Wars property (especially in a head position). The showrunner on Kenobi was Joby Harold, he's a producer and also not a creative that actually knows Star Wars. Look up his wikipedia. He was attached to a couple good projects but everything else is garbage just the same. He co-wrote the nonsensical cocaine fever dream that was Army of the Dead with Zack Snyder lol. They got scared of the woke mob and stripped Chris D'Elia of the role that woulda made the movie watchable ruining his big break over some infidelity (they are all garbage-people that sleep around, like they have any moral superiority whatsoever) and replaced him with the insufferable Tig Notaro because she's a woman/lesbian (it definitely wasn't due to her comedic chops smh she is right up there with Hannah Gadsby when it comes to "clapter")
@@gefan8327 they had a two hour film script they had to adapt into a six episode series. Beattie was either not available or more likely too expensive to write the series.
Have anyone noticed how Stewart mentioned His version of a space station yet disney mandalorian in book of boba is the exact same as djinn searching for the armoury...12:30
@@SangheiliSpecOp Even early TCW with the 'Duel of the Droids' arc when Grievous's secret Separatist listening post also lost it's gravitational generators and slowly descended down into it's planet's toxic atmosphere and environment.
I was honestly rapt, listening to him just break down his ideas, his thoughts and plans. You can really tell he'd so tightly tapped into like...who and what Obi-Wan is, was, or could be. It's fascinating. And all from that one little line in RoJ! A true fan, through and through!
What a fantastic interview, thank you both for having this and sharing it. I hope you make more millions and you can make a fan made movie of this trilogy and work something out with Stuart. Thank you again and much love!
Cool dude, great conversation! Imagine.... an actual Star Wars fan writing a Star Wars movie/show, let alone a TRILOGY???? Earth shattering concept, I know...
This was great. Two passionate Star Wars fans having a conversation. More videos like this please. Great to hear people who’ve worked on Star wars projects and care so deeply about the stories.
I feel like finding out years later that that hot chick you knew in high school was out of your league really had the biggest crush on you and was into all the things you were into but she was already in a relationship with the starting quarterback and you didn't have the balls to talk to her anyway. Instead you're in a crappy mirage with the first girl that ever found an interest in you but then you find out they were looking for a baby daddy because their ex knocked them up but aren't in the picture anymore. Finding out the Kenobi story we could of had makes me feel this way. Edit: forgot to add the punchline.
30 Days and Collateral are both goated. If Stuart is reading this i want you to know i rewatch them with my dad every year. Also i'm one of the few that sees Vincent as a protagonist. If you take him at his word and don't make assumptions in bad faith (as one should) he was trying to help Max and dispel his delusions to make him more proactive with his life. He's not a sociopath. He demonstrates empathy and would have left Max alive at the end had he grew some balls. The whole film reminds me of the Raymond K. Hessel scene in Fight Club. You either LIVE...or you're already dead... Collateral changed my life and made me a better man. I don't blame others for my problems, i'm keenly aware of that type of "wishing on a star" delusional safety blanket that causes ppl to be idle and complacent like that and i tell ppl plainly when i detect it and help motivate them to do the things that need doing instead of putting it off because of that movie and SOOO many great things have happened in my life as a direct result of that mindset i couldn't begin to list them all. They never would have happened otherwise and i'd be single locked in a room playing video games getting fatter and stupider otherwise. I have a good woman, great career and am in exceptional physical condition solely due to that movie/character.
16:02 Star Wars Theory's face here basically summarizes my reaction to this whole thing pretty well. It's like a "My GOD, we missed out on THIS?! We got the mediocre Kenobi series instead of THIS storyline?!?"
The level of passion....the smiles...the depth... Where are these type of writers. Like what the F is happening. I feel like we are living in the Twilight Zone. Phenomenal video.
Felt awesome to see theories genuine happiness and reaction to the story he was hearing… took me back to when I was a kid anxious for a next episode or movie to keep it going. Love your channel
Dude the fact that Stuart suggested ideas for Vader Episode 2 character motives just shows he's a down to earth guy and happy to discuss stories for no personal gain. Man, can't believe Disney robbed us of him.
14:00 Man!! This would have been Obi-Wan's second chance to train a kid. Seeing the flashbacks of Anakin while Luke gets mad makes him worry yet again because he doesn't want to fail him again like he did Anakin. And at the end of Star Wars, he's there as a force ghost seeing Luke accomplish the mission and now knowing that he was successful with his training of Luke AND resurrecting Anakin. Why didn't Disney work with this guy??
Fear. Solo didn't do well, and instead of being insightful and taking responsibility for Solo's poor performance (the story wasn't that good, it wasn't really the story people wanted, etc.) they essentially blamed it on the fans; "Oh, people don't want to see a movie about this character because they know he survives." That fear led them to cancel the Obi-Wan movie, and convince themselves that people wanted entirely new characters. And look where that's got them. Really just a lot of terrible, terrible decision making at the corporate level.
@@indestructibleobject I don’t know Solo is underrated one of my favorite Disney movies.. most films that get a total or near total reshoots most of the time turn out horribly but what Ron Howard was able to do with what he had
@starwarstheory right at the end of this video, watching the emotion you went through listening to Stuart’s take on your Windu idea and confrontation with Vader was wonderful. Both of you have so much empathy for this world and these characters it’s ‘delightful’ to see. Disney, please sort your shit out. We need Stuart leading the writing for some of your projects with Theory consulting. I’m hopeful.
@@jacklang4114 I will admit that, I didn't like Bad batch much, but it had alot of scenes like that, that I liked alot. Getting any amount of Clone Culture and personalities always made me happy. That's one of the many reasons Clone Wars slaps so hard. We men are suckers for Brotherhood.
So glad to see this, Theory, and I am so happy for you that you were able to speak so openly with Stuart!! I hope that you show him your work, for example the first Shards of the Past short film and your production art and samples from Vader 2 as well.
We were robbed !!! It’s so true how much attention to detail the Disney Star Wars projects are lacking. This guy really knows his stuff and wrote tasteful callbacks while maintaining the esthetic of what Star Wars is. Disney Star Wars just doesn’t have the same feel and it’s feels so surreal to watch these new projects and somehow connect them the original movies.
I love how at 7:39, as he’s going into how Obi-Wan was feeling after ROTS. And mentions baby Luke, I love how Theory purked up in his chair. Allowing the little kid Star Wars fan come out. Now this is Star Wars!
Thank you for this interview. As sad as it is that we didn’t get to see this, I’m glad to have heard that someone cared enough to write something so very good for Obi Wan. I say we consider this the cannon story, and forget the Disney series.
I felt hope just from that interview. It took me back to my love of Star Wars. If only more people in charge had that passion imagine where we could be with this franchise
It's amazing to see what could have been but it's also completely tragic at the same time as a lifelong Star Wars fan who misses Star Wars. From fighting through snow to see ROTJ as a little boy to watching reviews now because I can't stand to watch the slop they are making now.
As a fellow Aussie.. I love Stuart's pitch! Damn.. pitch them Season 2 Stuart. Star Wars, we, the audience and Star Wars fans around the world NEED your story to be told!!
Such a great interview, every star wars fan needs to see this, I just hope it gains so many more views as your other vids, the mans such a good writer because he is a fan and understands what he is making, I wish him the absolute best in that world, please Lucasfilm where are these ideas? This is what generates fandom and money for such a series
Mixed feelings! In one hand I am sad we haven't got this well connected and told story, on the other hand I am amazed by how good this could have been. I love the talk!
Thanks for sharing this interview. Amazing not just how well he got Obi, since he must have cared about and studied the character for his movie take, but also immediately had a position on what would make sense for Mace's character in the timeline for your fan film. Clearly someone who cares about character arcs. Such a missed opportunity with his script.
Don’t you get it?? Vader 2 isn’t gonna happen!!!!! Lucasfilms hate everything about Star Wars Theory and will do *EVERYTHING* in their power to make sure that he stays away from bringing back the franchise that they’re trying to destroy!!!!!!!!! Face it!!!!!!!! Star Wars is dead!!!!!!! The Force has faded away!!!!!!!!!! The hope is all gone!!!!!!!!!!! And why??????????? Because of “social justice,” that’s why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They put liberal politics ahead of telling us good stories!!!!!!!!! And if we don’t like it, *WE’RE* the villains!!!!!! We’re the “bigots!!!!!!!!!!!!” We’re the “racists!!!!!!!!!” We’re the “sexists!!!!!!!!!!” We’re the “homophobes!!!!!!!!” And if we try to stand up and voice our own opinions arguing otherwise, we get banned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@43:28 I think the smile tells us that Theory absolutely nailed this upcoming Vader Episode II. Because, you absolutely understand the world of Star Wars. Absolutely LOVED this interview, was amazing to hear Stuart Beattie’s Kenobi Trilogy Script… absolutely incredible, and only if we got this trilogy…
Shows how bad things are at Disney that they can't see a good script when it's in their lap and don't appreciate when a writer has passion. I think from Stuarts short overview of the plot we can see it ties in to the right places in Star Wars. What a shame his vision has been lost to the current culture at Disney.
It's crazy to think that Rian Johnson's "The Last Jedi" caused Solo to bomb, which resulted in all SW movie plans being scrapped, including this Kenobi trilogy. Absolute tragedy. That bonehead's movie caused ripple effects in the franchise which are still felt today. I agree SW would be in a different place had this trilogy (or even just 1 movie) been made. Thank you for the interview, had a blast watching it!
What pisses me off the most about the whole Solo situation is that Disney refuses to acknowledge the ACTUAL reason why it didn’t perform well. Its the whole reason we got all these dead shows.
The whole Sarlaac pit bit was a fantastic dark comedy concept. I love the idea of it being everyone’s trash can. And the Jawa slaying the massive creature was hilarious
This guy offers Disney an open goal chance to make an awesome series of films, and yet somehow they manage to trip themselves up running to the ball, and it ends up going out for a throw in
So, the narrative structure would have been, reconnection, and then quest to confrontation. I really like the theme of letting go and the ball with dark Luke. Wow! Such a good concept. The key theme is needing is good ideas getting mangled and destroyed by Disney for reasons.
OMG!! Dude, PLEASE!! I beg of you. Publish this, even if it is in Legends, this story needs to be told. Listening to this, for the first time since The Last Jedi I felt that awe that I first felt in 1977 as a 12 year old boy sitting in the front row of the Chapel Hill Cinema. Thank you. Thank you so much. THIS is Star Wars!
I used to watch the prequels or at least one of them every single week of my life until the sequels we're released. Episode 1 was the first Star Wars I had ever seen. It was more than a comfort zone it was a driving motivation behind every aspect of my life in one director or indirect way or another. These three movies, had they been made, probably would have taken that place.
That was a mind blowing interview. Big thank yous to you and Stuart for this one. He is such a brilliant writer and SW fan. This is all canon to me. Wish we could have seen it. ❤
Omg Vader gaslighting the emperor that he let Yoda go because the Emperor called Vader out on not killing Obi-Wan like he should’ve on Mustafar is hilarious hahaha

That would mean disney reconize their mistake, and there is no chance of that ever. They are too proud of themselves
@@MrWord283And then the "das rasizms" neoBolshevik crowd of Disney/Lucasfilm/sycophant-media-shills would riot
That would also mean Disney would hire a white man. Oh the horror, the horror.
Nah they couldn’t do it, they destroyed it and now the real story is out there. It’s over.
Theory please ask Stuart to look over or try and add to whatever script you come up with. I have total faith in your vision but to have the opportunity to let such a profession and a fan add his two cents, criticism, critique, whatever would be, for me, an honor. Would love to see you guys talk more this was one of the best Star Wars chats I’ve seen.. ever. God my inner nerd is pumped right now!!!
Wow. Just hearing Stuart talk us through this makes his story canon for me.
Exactly!
I could see it in my mind's eye while he talked.
That's what happened. -And I can barely even remember anything from most of the junk which was actually made.
everything Disney touched (yes, including Rebels) is not canon.
Why couldn't Disney have hired real fans like Stuart Beattie to write the future of Star Wars? I was actually getting goosebumps listening to this.
Elon Musk revealed why
To be fair, I do not necessarily WANT the movies to be written by fans... I want a competent screenwriter, with a good script, who understands the source material. HIm hiring fans as advisers, sure, but that's a bonus.
This literally just confirms that these new writers aren't actually coming up with ideas they are literally just taking other people's ideas and twisting them into garbage
They hate SW fans. Amazing how they afford to be so petty
@@johnnysnowbird826 they are literally stealing ideas and saying that us fans are the reason star wars is failing
Its pathetic
AI could do a better job than these w0k3 "writers"!
So true agreed 👍
It’s not entirely the writers fault. Clearly they are capable of creative writing, but as we see with this Kenobi trilogy, even the good ideas can get scrapped. It’s a Kathleen Kennedy thing. She has had so many projects get scrapped because of creative differences.
Beautiful interview. Gave me goosebumps. Thanks for doing what you do Theory
man, its so nice to see the excitement in stuart when he tells his story and also so sad that disney destroyed his idea
An Obi wan and Cody team up to protect Luke from the Empire would have been EPIC!
Seriously tho, what a missed opportunity, as someone who genuinely doesn’t mind the whole inhibitor chip concept I would’ve liked to see a Cody redemption arc, even if he doesn’t survive, let him go out a hero
Instead we got “somehow Palpatine has returned.”
@@greengriffin1palestine instead of Palpatine is actually insane. Had to do a double take.
@@ajayrife hahaha!!! Autocorrected!!
I really don't like the idea of Cody redemption happening off-screen before the Obi-wan Kenobi story began. Obi-wan not having anyone to talk his trauma until the end, which works better with Qui-jon
Having a guilt ridden Cody is too early because showing redemption can happen destroys the tension with Vader sorta. And Kenobi wasn't ever to trust anyone that wasn't Bail, Owen, or Beru.
Neither the concept of Cody randomly finding Kenobi, as Rey found the Millennium Falcon and Han Solo random in all the galaxy
This man has passion for Star Wars and he gets it! Why can't writers like this write Star Wars movies?
because of "tHE meSsAGe "
came here to the say the same. you can hear the passion, and he has such a great grasp of the character and what his arc needs to be
Because the execs who run Disney Lucas Films refuse to pay guys like Stuart Beattie what they’re worth and they want to keep all the credit for themselves.
@@okk4799 they love *THE MESSAGE*
Because KK is the one helming these projects.
This right here.... this is FUCKING passion! This is what star wars should be about... not girl boss drivel.
It's clear that certain types of women (girl bosses like Kenedy) don't understand starwars they literally aspire to be Palpatine... from her perspective, the Jedi are evil...smh. unlimited power. Lol
So instead of using any of the cool bits of the story he'd made up, Disney thought nah, shredded it up and took the vanilla route with a legendary character where most of the plot might as well have been some generic space show focusing on a random dude, because that wasn't Obi-Wan.
They don't understand what cool is
Notice how Leia wasn't in any of this?
Don't forget about Reva who has no reason for doing any of the stuff she ever does and screams her way through every scene
What I liked about the start of this interview was how you let him speak without interruption. Too many interviewers interject, too soon...but this was just the right type of mellow hosting
But why didn't he ask him how gay it was - like a proper interviewer would??
@@HerohammerStudios SWT has clearly skipped out on his Hollywood media training. He'll never make it in this business if he doesn't shape up quick!
Stuart's version of Kenobi sounds like Star Wars. The B plot I would of more likely to see with Cody dumping bounty hunters and seeing others throwing in stromtroopers and thinking "Ah Shit".... "Na, We cool Bro" type conversation.
But no, we had the Kenobi show. What a let down.
I feel though that just dumping bodies in the Sarlacc pit would have cheapened the Jabba/Han thing as it seemed at the time that getting thrown to the Sarlacc was a pretty 'special' thing to have happen - not your everyday occurrence.
Holy shit dude we were ROBBED!!! Stuart seems so amazing it’s so sad to hear what happened to his idea and scripts
I'm hooked to this interview. Star Wars Explained must be punching air right now. 😂😂😂
He knows how to punch?
@@REOrio142 you're right. My bad. He probably is having his wife punch for him.
He's sat on his wife's lap crying into her shoulder 😂
@@REOrio142hahaha
@@nodafyand then she breastfeed him
This was a fantastic conversation. I was hooked from start to finish. Very sad that we never got to see this vision on screen.
I'll be honest, I didn't know what to expect going into this interview. But I'm so glad I gave it a watch, because I'd honestly forgotten what it was like to see someone in the industry talk about Star Wars with the same love and enthusiasm that you see from folks like Theory. His storyline is so much more faithful to the characters and truly respects the personal journey of Obi-Wan and Luke. We definitely got robbed by studio execs that care more about buzzwords and box checks more than love of a good story.
When he said Vader took out 4 Jedis in his script, that sold me and i wish we got this script because its so sick. The whole script looks insane.
I've now constructed and watched Stuart's version of the movie in my head and it is the only version I accept as canon.
I’m listening to this… and I have images in my head of Ewan and the rest of the cast doing the things he’s describing. It’s sad this didn’t come to reality, however, I’m grateful for him sharing it. B/c now we have a great story to think of. Nowhere near as good as what could have been, but at least we have it in our hearts and minds.
And that’s better than it never having leaked. Great interview, Theory! TYVM!
The way Reeva was written in these movies sounds way more interesting and realistic.
How could Disney scrap such a great script for the garbage they put on screen
the mEsSagE
Because they had to put a chick in it and make it lame and gay. That's the priority
Well apparently because no one like Solo
Female empowerment. Disney corporate strategy.
I'm a little shocked that Reva was a character in Stuart's version. I'm guessing she was likable at that time. He should reach out to Ewan.
Stuart is kind of man I definitely want to see as head of Star Wars universe. That passion, that understanding of characters... Damn, that was really nice to hear
There is no way they scraped this…I’m livid.
I imagine Kathleen Kennedy getting wind of this and going “yeah were blackballing Stuart Beattie, say goodbye to Star Wars Beattie.”
Maybe she get’s her walking papers and they hire him and we get at least Kenobi season 2!
@@Carrie449-xyz ive lost all hopium
@@mindfulcitizen1 Nah, we still good. It's a bajillion dollar franchise. There will come a time where they have to hit the emergency button and hire writers who actually like Star Wars. Might not be in our lifetimes but I still have faith.
"He's talking to those toxic MALE Star Wars fans."
KK might be in charge of the IP....but the story is beyond her ability to comprehend.
If Stuart Beattie ever releases the scripts for his Obi-Wan Kenobi movie trilogy, I hope we’ll get Fan Films to adapt each one! I saw your Vader: Shards of the Past episode and I can’t wait for episode 2, and your fan film adapting the Darth Plagueis novel!
Honestly, I wish Disney gave us these films. I wish they also gave their reasons why they cancelled certain projects instead of leaving us in the dark. Since they decided to change their strategy to switch from films to shows, why couldn’t the Kenobi show adapt his storylines instead? Why did they use a different script when they already had a written one? I would have loved to have seen more of Luke’s childhood, but it feels like Disney’s too focused on other things.
I'd read it even if it was just posted on AO3 as is.
DEI hiring and favouring perceived "woke allies". It's all about THE MESSAGE when ideologues are in positions of power and Deborah Chow knew the right things to say to Kathleen Kennedy and Bob Iger. Literally all they care about are funding and installing others who are afflicted with or controlled by the mind-virus.
Look up Deborah Chow and all what she did prior to the Kenobi series, a load of crap, women talking movies nobody but pretentious woke film festival ppl care about, directed a couple eps of CW shows, one episode of Mr.Robot and two episodes of Mando season 1. She never did anything of actual merit and bounced around everywhere.
As serviceable a tv director as any other rando but not the type of creative you need or want on a Star Wars property (especially in a head position). The showrunner on Kenobi was Joby Harold, he's a producer and also not a creative that actually knows Star Wars. Look up his wikipedia. He was attached to a couple good projects but everything else is garbage just the same.
He co-wrote the nonsensical cocaine fever dream that was Army of the Dead with Zack Snyder lol. They got scared of the woke mob and stripped Chris D'Elia of the role that woulda made the movie watchable ruining his big break over some infidelity (they are all garbage-people that sleep around, like they have any moral superiority whatsoever) and replaced him with the insufferable Tig Notaro because she's a woman/lesbian (it definitely wasn't due to her comedic chops smh she is right up there with Hannah Gadsby when it comes to "clapter")
@@beskamir5977 Or a book
Yes, too focused on alternate agendas instead of story telling!!
@@gefan8327 they had a two hour film script they had to adapt into a six episode series. Beattie was either not available or more likely too expensive to write the series.
This is someone that understands the force, Star Wars, and the philosophy. I would have loved to see this movie.
Have anyone noticed how Stewart mentioned His version of a space station yet disney mandalorian in book of boba is the exact same as djinn searching for the armoury...12:30
I am 99% sure there is also some late clone wars/bad batch stuff where floating stations fall into gas giants. It makes you wonder lol
@@SangheiliSpecOp Even early TCW with the 'Duel of the Droids' arc when Grievous's secret Separatist listening post also lost it's gravitational generators and slowly descended down into it's planet's toxic atmosphere and environment.
This guy would have brought Star Wars back
I was honestly rapt, listening to him just break down his ideas, his thoughts and plans. You can really tell he'd so tightly tapped into like...who and what Obi-Wan is, was, or could be. It's fascinating. And all from that one little line in RoJ! A true fan, through and through!
100% 👍🏼
Him and Gareth together would've been the new legendary duo. Sprinkle some Sam Witwer in there too!
What a fantastic interview, thank you both for having this and sharing it. I hope you make more millions and you can make a fan made movie of this trilogy and work something out with Stuart. Thank you again and much love!
"More millions and you can make a fan made movie" I would specify to $180 million as budgeted for the Acolyte.
This interview was astounding. Well done Star Wars Theory
Cool dude, great conversation! Imagine.... an actual Star Wars fan writing a Star Wars movie/show, let alone a TRILOGY???? Earth shattering concept, I know...
This was great. Two passionate Star Wars fans having a conversation. More videos like this please. Great to hear people who’ve worked on Star wars projects and care so deeply about the stories.
This sounds like a lot of fun too. For Obi it's letting go of control for the future's sake. You can't control it and you can't change the past.
This was absolutely fantastic interview!!! Really enjoyed it! Would absolutely LOVE to see this stories on the big screen!!!
everything about his script was perfect, From Luke showing anger too the comic moment with cody, and the realization of letting go.
I feel like finding out years later that that hot chick you knew in high school was out of your league really had the biggest crush on you and was into all the things you were into but she was already in a relationship with the starting quarterback and you didn't have the balls to talk to her anyway. Instead you're in a crappy mirage with the first girl that ever found an interest in you but then you find out they were looking for a baby daddy because their ex knocked them up but aren't in the picture anymore.
Finding out the Kenobi story we could of had makes me feel this way.
Edit: forgot to add the punchline.
Bro this is too detailed not to be reality lmfao. HMU if you need to talk bro
Yoooo this is wild lol. This was too deep for a Star Wars related UA-cam comment 😂
Who hurt you bro? 😭
wtf...
This comment has better plot than the acolyte.
30 Days of Night is one of the best Vampire movies ever! I didnt know Stuart Beattie was involved with it.
30 Days and Collateral are both goated. If Stuart is reading this i want you to know i rewatch them with my dad every year.
Also i'm one of the few that sees Vincent as a protagonist. If you take him at his word and don't make assumptions in bad faith (as one should) he was trying to help Max and dispel his delusions to make him more proactive with his life. He's not a sociopath. He demonstrates empathy and would have left Max alive at the end had he grew some balls. The whole film reminds me of the Raymond K. Hessel scene in Fight Club. You either LIVE...or you're already dead...
Collateral changed my life and made me a better man. I don't blame others for my problems, i'm keenly aware of that type of "wishing on a star" delusional safety blanket that causes ppl to be idle and complacent like that and i tell ppl plainly when i detect it and help motivate them to do the things that need doing instead of putting it off because of that movie and SOOO many great things have happened in my life as a direct result of that mindset i couldn't begin to list them all.
They never would have happened otherwise and i'd be single locked in a room playing video games getting fatter and stupider otherwise. I have a good woman, great career and am in exceptional physical condition solely due to that movie/character.
Love 30 days so much
It made me feel so delighted just to hear about this story that never was. I’m so sad and mad at the same time
16:02 Star Wars Theory's face here basically summarizes my reaction to this whole thing pretty well. It's like a "My GOD, we missed out on THIS?! We got the mediocre Kenobi series instead of THIS storyline?!?"
mediocre? cmon bro...rogue one was mediocre. Kenobi wqs straight up insulting

Felt awesome to see theories genuine happiness and reaction to the story he was hearing… took me back to when I was a kid anxious for a next episode or movie to keep it going. Love your channel
Dude the fact that Stuart suggested ideas for Vader Episode 2 character motives just shows he's a down to earth guy and happy to discuss stories for no personal gain. Man, can't believe Disney robbed us of him.
14:00 Man!! This would have been Obi-Wan's second chance to train a kid. Seeing the flashbacks of Anakin while Luke gets mad makes him worry yet again because he doesn't want to fail him again like he did Anakin. And at the end of Star Wars, he's there as a force ghost seeing Luke accomplish the mission and now knowing that he was successful with his training of Luke AND resurrecting Anakin. Why didn't Disney work with this guy??
Fear. Solo didn't do well, and instead of being insightful and taking responsibility for Solo's poor performance (the story wasn't that good, it wasn't really the story people wanted, etc.) they essentially blamed it on the fans; "Oh, people don't want to see a movie about this character because they know he survives." That fear led them to cancel the Obi-Wan movie, and convince themselves that people wanted entirely new characters. And look where that's got them.
Really just a lot of terrible, terrible decision making at the corporate level.
@@indestructibleobject I don’t know Solo is underrated one of my favorite Disney movies.. most films that get a total or near total reshoots most of the time turn out horribly but what Ron Howard was able to do with what he had
Was REALLY not expecting a Steve Odekerk name drop. Kung Pow fucking rules. I love that guy!
@starwarstheory right at the end of this video, watching the emotion you went through listening to Stuart’s take on your Windu idea and confrontation with Vader was wonderful. Both of you have so much empathy for this world and these characters it’s ‘delightful’ to see.
Disney, please sort your shit out. We need Stuart leading the writing for some of your projects with Theory consulting.
I’m hopeful.
Give Stuart the reigns of Lucasfilm. Very sharp guy who understands the Star Wars world to a T it seems.

We men are suckers for Brotherhood.
So glad to see this, Theory, and I am so happy for you that you were able to speak so openly with Stuart!! I hope that you show him your work, for example the first Shards of the Past short film and your production art and samples from Vader 2 as well.
We were robbed !!! It’s so true how much attention to detail the Disney Star Wars projects are lacking. This guy really knows his stuff and wrote tasteful callbacks while maintaining the esthetic of what Star Wars is. Disney Star Wars just doesn’t have the same feel and it’s feels so surreal to watch these new projects and somehow connect them the original movies.
I love how at 7:39, as he’s going into how Obi-Wan was feeling after ROTS. And mentions baby Luke, I love how Theory purked up in his chair. Allowing the little kid Star Wars fan come out. Now this is Star Wars!
27:08 explaining why Kenobi accepted death in a heartbeat… genius 👏
Thank you for this interview. As sad as it is that we didn’t get to see this, I’m glad to have heard that someone cared enough to write something so very good for Obi Wan. I say we consider this the cannon story, and forget the Disney series.
I felt hope just from that interview. It took me back to my love of Star Wars. If only more people in charge had that passion imagine where we could be with this franchise
I agree with Stuart. I like the idea of Mace Windu pretty much turning into Darth Maul; a silent assassin.
It's amazing to see what could have been but it's also completely tragic at the same time as a lifelong Star Wars fan who misses Star Wars.
From fighting through snow to see ROTJ as a little boy to watching reviews now because I can't stand to watch the slop they are making now.
As a fellow Aussie.. I love Stuart's pitch! Damn.. pitch them Season 2 Stuart. Star Wars, we, the audience and Star Wars fans around the world NEED your story to be told!!
Massive W for Mr. Beattie coming on the channel. Really loved this.
Can we go through the world between worlds and make this a reality please?
I told you Yen, I lost my memory
Na even better, just openly-decanonize it like how they openly de-canonized all of the EU.
Such a great interview, every star wars fan needs to see this, I just hope it gains so many more views as your other vids, the mans such a good writer because he is a fan and understands what he is making, I wish him the absolute best in that world, please Lucasfilm where are these ideas? This is what generates fandom and money for such a series
Mixed feelings! In one hand I am sad we haven't got this well connected and told story, on the other hand I am amazed by how good this could have been. I love the talk!
This goes to show there are very talented smart people out there. The top bosses are the problem. They lack proper vision and have stupid agendas.
Vader vs 5 Jedi opening scene 😳
This sounds amazing, what could have been 😭!
Thanks for sharing this interview. Amazing not just how well he got Obi, since he must have cared about and studied the character for his movie take, but also immediately had a position on what would make sense for Mace's character in the timeline for your fan film. Clearly someone who cares about character arcs. Such a missed opportunity with his script.
Theory, i think after you make Vader 2, you need to get with this guy and make his original Kenobi Movies
Didn't he say he was making a comic after vader 3?
Yessssss!
Don’t you get it?? Vader 2 isn’t gonna happen!!!!! Lucasfilms hate everything about Star Wars Theory and will do *EVERYTHING* in their power to make sure that he stays away from bringing back the franchise that they’re trying to destroy!!!!!!!!! Face it!!!!!!!! Star Wars is dead!!!!!!! The Force has faded away!!!!!!!!!! The hope is all gone!!!!!!!!!!! And why??????????? Because of “social justice,” that’s why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They put liberal politics ahead of telling us good stories!!!!!!!!! And if we don’t like it, *WE’RE* the villains!!!!!! We’re the “bigots!!!!!!!!!!!!” We’re the “racists!!!!!!!!!” We’re the “sexists!!!!!!!!!!” We’re the “homophobes!!!!!!!!” And if we try to stand up and voice our own opinions arguing otherwise, we get banned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@davidmcaninch4714 alright that was a lot
@43:28
I think the smile tells us that Theory absolutely nailed this upcoming Vader Episode II. Because, you absolutely understand the world of Star Wars. Absolutely LOVED this interview, was amazing to hear Stuart Beattie’s Kenobi Trilogy Script… absolutely incredible, and only if we got this trilogy…
Shows how bad things are at Disney that they can't see a good script when it's in their lap and don't appreciate when a writer has passion. I think from Stuarts short overview of the plot we can see it ties in to the right places in Star Wars. What a shame his vision has been lost to the current culture at Disney.
It's crazy to think that Rian Johnson's "The Last Jedi" caused Solo to bomb, which resulted in all SW movie plans being scrapped, including this Kenobi trilogy. Absolute tragedy. That bonehead's movie caused ripple effects in the franchise which are still felt today. I agree SW would be in a different place had this trilogy (or even just 1 movie) been made. Thank you for the interview, had a blast watching it!
Did you ever hear the tradegy of The Last Jedi?! I thought not.
No, fr, it really is, that movie did more damage than we all thought!
What pisses me off the most about the whole Solo situation is that Disney refuses to acknowledge the ACTUAL reason why it didn’t perform well. Its the whole reason we got all these dead shows.
All the more reason I’ll never get why there’s a cult movement of people who defend it like they’ve never defended any other movie before
Wouldn't suprise me if Rian Johnson sabotaged Star Wars on purpose.
What an amazing interview. Love hearing from people like this that are such fans
The whole Sarlaac pit bit was a fantastic dark comedy concept. I love the idea of it being everyone’s trash can. And the Jawa slaying the massive creature was hilarious
This guy offers Disney an open goal chance to make an awesome series of films, and yet somehow they manage to trip themselves up running to the ball, and it ends up going out for a throw in
So, the narrative structure would have been, reconnection, and then quest to confrontation. I really like the theme of letting go and the ball with dark Luke. Wow! Such a good concept. The key theme is needing is good ideas getting mangled and destroyed by Disney for reasons.
OMG!! Dude, PLEASE!! I beg of you. Publish this, even if it is in Legends, this story needs to be told. Listening to this, for the first time since The Last Jedi I felt that awe that I first felt in 1977 as a 12 year old boy sitting in the front row of the Chapel Hill Cinema. Thank you. Thank you so much. THIS is Star Wars!
48 seconds in when he says he loved Starwars I knew why he wasnt allowed to make Starwars for Disney
Wow... Just wow. This would have been the three most coolest f****** movies ever!!!!!!!!
I used to watch the prequels or at least one of them every single week of my life until the sequels we're released. Episode 1 was the first Star Wars I had ever seen. It was more than a comfort zone it was a driving motivation behind every aspect of my life in one director or indirect way or another. These three movies, had they been made, probably would have taken that place.
That was a mind blowing interview. Big thank yous to you and Stuart for this one. He is such a brilliant writer and SW fan. This is all canon to me. Wish we could have seen it. ❤
Omg Vader gaslighting the emperor that he let Yoda go because the Emperor called Vader out on not killing Obi-Wan like he should’ve on Mustafar is hilarious hahaha
This guy wrote one of my favorite all time movies in COLLATERAL with Foxx and Cruise, brilliant writer
He knows how to tell a story.😊
Damn, that's also one of my favorites
That movie is a modern classic, and deserves more plaudits.
Yo, homie, is that my briefcase?
Oh wow didn’t know that. That movie was awesome
This is great content man, it's what the fanbase needs and it's incredibly refreshing to see someone so passionate about telling a good story.
Wish that version of Obi Wan was made , would have been good to get that part of the story before James Earl Jones passed away
This story would have been phenomenal to watch! Why didn't this happen!? 😭
Please write a book trilogy of the story you wanted to tell!
Imagine having a true and likeable fan like Stuart in the writing room...there would be no hate at all.
You need to make a "fan fiction" out of this.
This story should be seen.
