I checked out some of my favorite youtubers to see if the Kenobi leaks were true and I guess I shouldn't be surprised they were. I cancelled Disney plus a while back and decided to stick with pre-Disney Star Wars like episodes 1-6 and the EU/Legends.

I guess at one point I would've been surprised that Leia would feature so prominently but now it is pretty obvious that writers today cannot write a female character to save their lives. Every female has to be shoehorned in so they can show how much better than men they are. Also they knew that Reva would make viewers roll their eyes so they had to play the race card again. I mean the formula for Disney is pretty obvious now. Market a show based on a male character, only to have that show be all about a much more capable female.

There was a book called Kenobi written by John Jackson Miller where Kenobi is watching over Luke from a distance and trying to keep a low profile but gets involved in a conflict between the local farmers and Tusken Raiders. Definitely would've made more sense from a lore perspective.

I'm still ashamed that when I heard that Disney bought Star Wars I thought they could do good things with it. I thought that they would adapt the EU. When they wiped that out I figured they could've at least used it for streaming content by doing a NJO animated mini series like how DC has animated movies in an alternate timeline. Then I learned that they threw out GL's outline too.

I gave their books a chance and read the awful Aftermath trilogy and I even liked mandalorian but I liked it less once I realized that everything was headed to the sequel trilogy (I stupidly let myself believe they would retcon it).

Like I said, there is a lot of EU content I haven't checked out yet like the Old Republic books and comics.
