If they do a Kenobi movie then pretty good, otherwise I don't think they'd bring him back.

His big mistake was making friends with his padewan. He crossed the line and wiped out the line of master/student into pals.

Anakin needed a much firmer hand.

Unlikely to bring anyone in that level back I'd say.

Yeah, Obi-Wan really botches Anakin's training, but he should never have been asked to do it. Why the fuck couldn't Mace Windu do it? I never saw him do anything else.

Snoke is gonna be an amalgamation of cherry picking from the now defunct expanded universe.

They'll take elements. They already have. He tells Ren in the FA novel that he watched the emperor and Vader rise and fall. And had Vader made the other choice and killed Luke the empire would still be standing.

In Obi's defense his behavior is basically that of a manic depressive. He's dour and cautious one minute, risk-taking bananas the next. We need to wait and see what hap-LOOK AT ME JUMP OUT THE WINDOW! Well, that was not my best moment. Learn from my mistake, kid, an-OH A DROID ARMY I'LL FIGHT THEM ALONE!

The man is one big cry for help, post-watching his mentor die, and everyone is just sitting around ignoring it, because they know less about feelings than Gob.

Really? I thought that made it even better.

You really saw the work AG put into the role. That motherfucker had wheels seriously turning. It's like he understood the whole backstory before anyone else. Brilliant.

Blew my mind. I do appreciate Lucas and what he gave us. But that analogy they use in it about the kid the businessman the inventor and the profiteer all in one body, made total sense to me.

I'd love him to get another go but only if he has the magic back. Impossible I know.

I'm just not sure he has the "work" left in him. He's too interested in doing things the easy way. He wants shortcuts and total control. And there's no more fight left in him.

I hope I'm wrong. I hope the man still has a great story to tell. But I don't think so. I don't think the man ever makes another film.
