I hated the way he was revived and used in Clone Wars, he felt like a different character and not Maul.
However since they did revive him I would've liked to have seen the rematch in live action, oh well.

Lucasfilm’s President Admits Star Wars Has an Agenda – and That’s a Problem

In brief, there's a mandate to "lighten-up" anything in Star Wars that might skew "too dark", and that's why the Boba Fett series turned out to be the opposite of what anyone wanted and will likely sabotage the Obi-Wan series as well.

As the article points out, the timeline setting for the Obi-Wan show would be right in the heart of what's literally called "The Dark Times", and so the fact that Kennedy scrapped the original writer and premise for being "too dark" and wanting to do a more "hopeful" show is major cause for concern.

Ewan as Obi-Wan was the best thing by far about the Prequels. But it's a huge shame that people whined so much about the Prequels that we never got a real sequel series or something Back Then instead of the Disney fanfic stuff we're left with. No matter what they put on screen, you know that in the back of your mind that's not what "really" happened in those stories. People watch the Boba Fett show and go "Jesus, that ain't Boba Fett". And so it all seems so pointless.

The right time to do something with Ewan as Obi-Wan was around 2008 or 2010-ish, but people were still being pissants. Now all that's left is this FAKE Star Wars stuff. It's a real shame.

I dunno... I think around 2015 would have been about right. Though even now is fine, too (it's just a shame under this regime). Enough time needed to pass that we "missed" him and normies to re-appreciate the prequels.

And it doesn't sound like "let's lighten it up" is quite that simple here. The other articles said the original writer was thinking too "small," like they probably just took the Obi-Wan movie script and padded it out to 6 hours at first.

No. Nothing post-Disney buyout counts. It's all just fanfiction with a budget and almost all of it goes entirely against the original spirit of the material. Just like Nick TMNT is FAKE TMNT.

Therefore, a real Obi-Wan project needed to happen before 2012. Anything after that is a f*cking wash.

It'd be like IDW putting out a couple issues of a comic and saying it's "The Long-Awaited Conclusion To Mirage Vol. 4!" They can call it whatever they want, we all know it's not because whatever they put out is in no way at all faithful to what the original creators and storytellers intended. Just like those three trash movies Disney made are in no way the actual conclusion to the story presented in Episodes I-VI. They made movies saying that's what happened post-"Jedi", but we all know that's not true.

If George Lucas started a blog or posted something on ff.net talking about the adventures of Obi-Wan between "Revenge of the Sith" and "A New Hope", that would immediately supersede anything Disney puts out insofar as being "the real story". Disney Star Wars does not count.

Why is it showing Vader getting built again?

[CyberCubed]

I really hope this is better than the Boba Fett show. The only good eps of it were the Mandolorian episodes, lol

[Andrew NDB]

Yeah, I'm a little peeved at the Boba show. I really thought they were up to something clever with showing him all good guy-like, reformed and business-like but nope. It was just everything it appeared to be: a watered down nothing of a Boba Fett story.

[sdp]

Should be stupid fun, I'm sure just seeing Obi Wan again will be neat but I mean the plot doesn't sound too compelling.
There's potential but who knows how it'll go.

Upgrades? Maybe bits of his suit eventually wear out and need replacing. They could be incorporating bits from the comics where the Emperor literally tears him down in testing his loyalty to the Dark Side and then builds him up again.

Or he's been in his bacta tank and then having his armor reapplied.

That's more than armor being reapplied. They're screwing in his arms again.

[Mayhem]

Maybe the metal and circuitry doesn't react well to Bacta heh

I bet you any money that those people are the real reason why George Lucas decided to sell Lucas films. He was getting so much hate and grief from those rabid fans that he was like, screw it, and gave up. Same types of fans are also hating on J.K. Rowlings. Seriously, they are the worst own enemy.

The reasons for the hate are quite different.
Lucas, with all due respect, failed to deliver good movies with a prequel trilogy and pissed a lot of fans by doing so. JKR hatred is mostly due to the rabid psychos on Internet.

Probably.

I didn't like the prequels, and I thought Lucas became more overzealous over the years with his filmmaking. But I never, like, harassed him on the internet. Or Ahmed Best, even though I disliked JarJar. Or Jake Lloyd. It's pretty disgusting the way people think they're entitled to try ruining others lives over crap like this. But then again, people are nasty to each other even outside of celebrity culture.

I really don't have any sympathy whatsoever for the actors or creators who get "harassed on the internet" and complain about it. Not one iota. People have been saying mean things on the internet since the internet. Who cares? Get thicker skin or get out of the industry, I say. Nothing seems more pathetic to me than people -- particularly successful people -- claiming victimhood status because of tweets or nasty posts. If those things can "ruin their lives," then that says way more about them than the people making the tweets or posts.
