King Kenobi? Would it have been possible? There was a time when it was almost taken for granted. Now, Star Wars explains why it never made sense.
In a recent interview given to Vanity Fairthe president of lucasfilm, kathleen kennedy, finally explained that the King Kenobi concept was completely avoided for a specific reason. This specific reason is called Jedi Codeso overwhelming in Obi-Wan Kenobi despite his past in the saga of starwars.
“The biggest problem is talking about Obi-Wan Kenobi as Jedi Master, because there is the issue of attachment and disinterest, “explained the head of the Star Wars saga. For Rey Kenobi to have taken place, he would have had to have completely broken the rules of the Jedi. What would that have meant?
Kathleen Kennedy was against doing something like Rey Kenobi in the Star Wars saga because she wanted to respect what was established by george lucas. “A lot of ideas were thrown around about her parents, but anything that had to do with Obi-Wan in that sense was pretty much out of the question because it goes against everything George Lucas created for this mythology.”
But what about Duchess Satine Kryze then?
While some changes are open to discussion. the president of Star Wars is more hesitant to make creative decisions that alter the philosophy of the Jedi. One of them would be that Obi-Wan Kenobi was the father of King. “We are not rigid to change,” said Kathleen Kennedy. “Without a doubt, we are open to discuss at any time. But this is a very important tenet to the Jedi mythology and we weren’t about to get in the way.”
It remains to be seen if Kathleen Kennedy has seen the first seasons of the animated series from Clone Wars. We say it, more than anything, because of the plot arc of the Mandalorian Duchess Satine Kryze. In it, it was dropped that Obi-Wan Kenobi had more than a friendship with her and had an affection for each other above that allowed by law. Jedi Order. In fact, it was the main reason for the theories about the identity of Rey Kenobi in the Star Wars sequel trilogy.
