https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/obi-wan-kenobi-darth-maul-scenes-cut-luke-skywalker-replaced-during-creative-overhaul-1235108192/ Obi-Wan Kenobi will include plenty of familiar faces when it debuts May 25, but one Star Wars fan favorite will be noticeably absent. "Reportedly" or "Rumoured" I guess. Now we get Vader for the millionth time instead! --- https://i.imgur.com/bbRWLI8.gif https://i.imgur.com/A0BErSV.jpg https://i.imgur.com/S1m3po4.jpg https://i.imgur.com/7fCcfko.jpg ...

I'm not even sure how you would work Maul into the film unless Kenobi is going off-world. Maul very clearly has no idea where Kenobi is in Rebels. It's a whole plot point. Of course Vader can't know where Kenobi is either... --- *Gheb is my other account* ... Copied to Clipboard!

If they're going to keep insisting he's alive, which they shouldn't, I really don't understand why Maul wouldn't be in the OWK show if he's in anything at all.

As good as the Obi-Wan/Maul duel in Rebels was, it doesn't change the fact that it didn't belong in Rebels. That episode was 18 minutes of Ezra bumbling around Tatooine being annoying and then 2 minutes of unrelated cool stuff that really would have worked better in a story about Obi-Wan Kenobi. --- "Even MarthKoopa has jumped on the MarthKoopa hate wagon." -DevsBro ...

You will never see a film producer say, "We can't do that. It contradicts the cartoon." If the specific director or screenwriter working on the movie is a fan of the cartoon, they may make the personal choice not to contradict anything in it. A producer will never have that same appreciation for animated continuity in what is essentially a film series. We could see the cyborg version of Darth Maul become the big bad adversary of the next Star Wars trilogy. He could be the Star Wars version of the Borg -- infesting the universe with nanomachines which make everyone subservient to him. If he's 200 years old, so what? We don't know how long devil horned space people live. Don't think Disney would hesitate to make that decision if there was a dollar to be made from it. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Maybe I'm digging my heels in more than I should. But the basic business structure is that filmmaking holds priority over everything else. We've seen this in the MCU with the discontinuity of the Netflix and non-Disney+ properties. The moment it's no longer in their best interest to regard a cartoon as canon, they'll disown it. Like they did with Shadows of the Empire. It had a book, a video game, and a comic. Now it's just fanfiction. The same will eventually happen to Clone Wars. Someone will have an ideal that is not compatible and the need to make money in the present will mean more than a cartoon show from the past. ... Copied to Clipboard!

FortuneCookie posted... Maybe I'm digging my heels in more than I should.So because something could potentially become non-canon, then it currently isn't canon? You realize how inane that sounds, right? Especially when all the key decision-makers for these shows/movies are the same people. I mean even the movies contradict themselves. Hell, sometimes they go back and actually change the movies. By your logic the movies might not be canon because Disney could potentially overwrite them "if there is a dollar to be made". I'm sorry you feel like you are missing out or whatever because you don't want to watch a show, but you insisting something isn't canon despite all the important decision-makers behind the franchise saying otherwise just makes you sound like a petty ass. --- *Gheb is my other account* ...

Master_Bass posted... I think they can make Vader work despite the Episode 4 dialog.I REALLY doubt this. I dont possibly see how this is going to work unless its a Dagobah-cave dream sequence. I mean, even the ending to RotS was stretching it. Because its hard to say that Anakin was still the pupil there when he was pretty much a Master and going toe to toe with Obi Wan. The OT pretty much spells out that Anakin dumped the Jedi as a student and went to train with the Sith. The prequel trilogy kind of sort of plays that out in a its not technically wrong sort of way. But its on shaky ground as it is. I cant imagine this show doing anything but further fucking things up. --- END OF LINE ... Copied to Clipboard!
