These fan edits of Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, and I guess BoBF are pretty decent. Cuts some of the fluff out of the shows and stitches the episodes together to make a movie. The one thing I remember not liking on the Ahsoka edit, though, is removing the into to Sabine where she's riding on her bike down that long road to her/Ezra's hideout in the tower.

 

Hmm, I personally think the young Leia stuff is easily the weakest part of that show. Get rid of that and make the whole show about Kenobi protecting fugitive jedi and it becomes a much better series.

 

Her dynamic with Obiwan was something I never knew I needed to see.

 

Yeah I thought the young Leia stuff felt tonally off from the rest of the show.

 

Leia is probably the only person in the galaxy that would actually make Obiwan leave Tatooine. Protecting Luke is his only real goal in his life post ROTS. The only other person that could have made him do it is Satine, but she’s gone. He believes Luke is the chosen one, leaving to help random Jedi just doesn’t make sense for the character. Even if you make it so he helps Jedi that come to Tatooine, any interactions with Jedi would only draw attention to him and then to Luke. The way he treats the random jedi in the first episode makes total sense.

Like, sure, a story like that could be cool. And I am sure if they chose to go that route they’d find an at least acceptable reason to do it. But with what we currently have in canon, it would be odd.

 

looking back, i did enjoy the young Leia scenes quite a bit more than i originally thought i did, and while i think they might've worked better in a separate project, they do serve as a bright spot in a show i ultimately had mixed thoughts on. i hope the actress who plays her has a successful career down the line.
