Realistically, an Obi-Wan film would probably be only slightly more successful than Solo

"I didn't want a Han Solo movie, I wanted an Obi-Wan movie!" This was a line from a person I met at a party the other day. She went on in great detail about what the film could be about, a more character focused, philosophical, space western of sorts.Now I'm not saying this friend was wrong for thinking this or that any of you are wrong for thinking this either.What I think is questionable is this notion that a supposed Obi-Wan, should one ever get made, make Black Panther levels of box office. I think it would do better than Solo but not by much I feel.It sits in the same category of "unwarranted, this only appeals to the fans, answers a bunch of trivia." The general audience really doesn't care for stuff like this hence the "success" of Solo was largely came from the fans. And the fans are never enough to keep a franchise going.Who is realistically, outside of the fans, going to pay for a ticket to see Obi-Wan do things for two hours? I like Ewan McGreggor as Obi-Wan but that is not enough to warrant an entire film about it.You don't have to like TFA or TLJ but they did well for being simple, straight forward films that embraced diversity and welcomed new audiences all around.But what do I know, maybe if the film ever does get made it will be crazy successful and this post will be dated.Ok I'm done. via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/2wgoxI9
