IS THE FORCE WITH YOU?
After Return of the Jedi in 1983, Star Wars took a 16 year hiatus, returning in 1999 with the prequel trilogy. After 2005’s Revenge of the Sith, Star Wars was deemed finished (aside from 2008’s The Clone Wars), but was revived with the sale to Disney in 2012, which lead to its return in 2015 with The Force Awakens, 10 years after Revenge of the Sith. Star Wars movies have had two extensive decade or more breaks since it took the world by storm in 1977. Does Star Wars need these hiatuses to make the movies feel special?
So here is the pitch – While it likely will not happen, Star Wars movies should take a minimum five year film hiatus at some point in the future. Is the Force with you?
Our DISCUSSION this week is all about Obi-Wan Kenobi in Episode IX!
What is next for Kenobi? He has been seemingly hovering over this sequel trilogy, albeit ever so slightly. Will Kenobi make an appearance in the movie? Or was McGregor/Guinness’s voice over in TFA simply a nod/easter egg? Should Kenobi return? Will Kenobi return? How will the FINAL installment in the Skywalker saga reference or treat it’s longest tenured Jedi who has been a part of it since the first episode?
