You know, I was wondering what George Lucas think about the new Star Wars projects developed by Lucasfilm and Disney in recent years and which of the projects he likes the most.
Well, according to the Lucasfilm Story Group member Pablo HidalgoLucas’ new favorite project is the Obi-Wan Kenobi series.
During an interview with Full of Sith, Hidalgo revealed that there were feelings of anxiety initially playing the Star Wars era set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, where, as Hidalgo explains, fans would have an “insurance” of already thinking you know what happened.
To help resolve this issue, Lucasfilm reached out to Lucas before they began production on Obi-Wan Kenobi to give them some clarity on whether they were on the right track.
Hidalgo shared, “Part of that was interfacing with George. Early on, there was a conversation with George about what his thoughts were… He was 100% supportive.”
Then he added: “I heard it was one of the [his] favorite things that came out of Star Wars, because it recognizes so much of what he did in the prequels, and basically carried it forward and celebrated it.”
I can understand this to a certain extent, but in my opinion Obi-Wan Kenobi was one of the most poorly written Star Wars projects. I think it could have been a great show, but the development team let the story go.
After the first episode, each subsequent episode got frustratingly worse. But hey, if George Lucas likes it, he likes it!
