MTV did that. They did that. Not only did they do that but they did it with my girl Tiffany Haddish! I’m screaming. Where’s the champagne? It’s a party in the Reylo house tonight! Tiffany is the new house mother and live coverage of anti breakdowns will be running all night. Just keeps getting better.
I can’t even explain how disappointed and upset I am in the recent rumbling of Star Wars news from Disney and Lucasfilm.
Obi Wan is my favorite character in the canon and I wanted that Kenobi movie so bad. I’m pretty ambivalent about the Solo film. I didn’t want it, I don’t really agree with some of the story/character decisions made in it but I don’t hate it. I just don’t really care about it.
But to have the Kenobi film sacrificed in the light of the relative failure of Solo is so disheartening. And yes “shelved” doesn’t mean completely gone. But when you get to the nitty gritty it might as well.
It’s kind of like that old scenario from when you were a kid. For example you go to visit your grandparents and they fix something you don’t want for dinner. You voice the displeasure and they get annoyed - “Well you eat this or you don’t eat.” That’s what the SOLO vs KENOBI mess feels like. They wanted to shove Solo down our throat and got mad when we would have preferred Kenobi. So since we didn’t want Solo we just don’t get anything.
It just breaks my heart because we had Kenobi so close we could taste it. We had Ewan likely attached and voicing his desire to return and excited about the possibility of stepping into his Kenobi robes again. This sounds cliche but it’s just not fair.
