Disney has not made a “Star Wars” movie since “The Rise of Skywalker” brought an end to its sequel trilogy in 2019, but Lucasfilm has remained increasingly active in the television space. While the pivot to TV has largely been a successful one for the “Star Wars” brand, many fans would still prefer to see their favorite characters return in feature films.
That was the case with “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” the recent Disney+ limited series that saw Ewan McGregor reprise his role from George Lucas’ prequel trilogy. The project was originally conceived as a movie, and many, including one of the original writers, wish that it stayed that way.

“Obi-Wan Kenobi” ran for six episodes on Disney+, but for many fans and critics that was simply too long. While everyone was happy to see Ewan McGregor back as the iconic Jedi, not every “Star Wars” fans agreed on the pacing of the story or the main plotline that sent Obi-Wan on an adventure to save a young Princess Leia from Darth Vader. One “Star Wars” fan, Kai Patterson, has gone viral on social media for editing the Disney+ series into a single two-hour-and-30-minute movie.
“The ‘Obi-Wan’ show, in my opinion, suffered from things that were easily fixable in the script and in the edit,” Patterson writes about his decision to create the fan edit, which is streaming now on his personal website. “Awkward pacing, whole scenes that ultimately amounted to nothing, goofy dialogue and directing choices, so I decided to take matters into my own hands and change what I could.
