Disney has revealed today that it spent $60.5 million (£47.9 million) on the second season of Star Wars streaming series Andor in 2024 ahead of its debut in April this year giving the show a total cost of $705.5 million (£552.7 million) which was within the budget but still far higher than the spending on any of the movies in the sci-fi saga. Disney has had a mixed bag of results from its Star Wars shows and movies since it…
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Kai Patterson's fan edit of Obi-Wan Kenobi and it is some stellar work. Felt like I watched the movie I wanted them to make instead of a dreadfully slow streaming series
positive · AI labelView post →I've just realised The Empire Strikes Back is a Christmas film. 1. Snow (planet Hoth) 2. A little green elf (Yoda). 3. A ghost of Christmas past (Obi Wan Kenobi). 4. A dad cuts off his son's hand with a sword before proposing regicide and the forming of a totalitarian alliance. Erm.
neutral · AI labelView post →Also, Alec Guiness being visibly uninterested in the movie he's in but still giving a gamely professional performance is an under-appreciated part of why the Obi-Wan Kenobi character works in the way that it does

Actor Matthew Rhys will voice Han Solo, with Rhys Ifans as Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Aimee-Ffion Edwards as Princess Leia. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
neutral · AI labelView post →My take: SOLO would have been better served as a Disney+ miniseries. OBI-WAN KENOBI would have been better as a movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →FWIW, Attack of the Clones is much, much better if you watch on DVD and skip the Padme/Anakin chapters from the time they split off from Obi-Wan until they're back with him. The Adventures of Obi-Wan Kenobi on Kamino and Geonosis is a great movie.

I'm genuinely interested in the era, but it's sometimes seemed a little faltering, and I think the episodic structure hasn't always worked to the show's favor. But I've seen the Star Wars Holiday Special, and The Acolyte most certainly isn't worse than that. When you look at the actual reviews, the comments are often wince-worthy; I…
