Kenobi: A Star Wars Fan Film

I watched the original short film and the Turkish dubbing film, One of the most beautiful short films.

If you're into Star Wars then this little gem is a must-watch. I don't want to make this review too long because the gist of it is this: it's with Obi-Wan and it is produced incredibly well, for a fan film at least. It's fan fiction like this that gives me and others new hopes that perhaps Star Wars can get back on track. So if Disney is reading this, head my advice: your new Kenobi series should get take notes from this and The Mandalorian. Or, in short, let passionate people, like the ones behind this fan film, bring true Star Wars to life.

It's only 18 minutes runtime by the way but that's 18 minutes more than the Rise of Skywalker...

This was a fun short little film. I was surprised by the quality of the acting and cinematography. This is one of the best fan films that I have ever seen. There is clearly a passion for the characters and the story behind this labor of love. Kenobi's character felt consistent with the films and you could see the inspiration from the comic books as well.

Now after having watched the official "Obi-Wan Kenobi" show on Disney Plus, I cannot help but compare the two projects. This fan film is better than the version Disney gave us. I wish we got this attention to detail in the Disney plus show, instead of some incoherent plot, inconstant character motivations, and events that feel completely disconnected from the source material.

Conflict between Kenobi and the empire, personal struggles, interesting predicaments and strong character development all in 18 minutes.

Disney had 3 feature length movies to do that and all they managed was a video game like plot with an endless cast of characters that offered nothing. Was seriously impressed by the production value in this film and Kenobi is actually really well cast. It's lacking the flair of modern Star Wars, but that allows it to do more for the story. Still manages to deliver cool fights scenes. Let down by acting in places but this is the only indication that it's a fan film.

Honestly don't waste your time with this. Non canon fan made mess. Writing is that have a child and the effects are laughable. Stay on YouTube maybe rather then making short films? I think if your a kid you will enjoy this film. If you are a Star Wars fan you will not.

Pacing is slow, the camera style is basic at best and that's being kind.

It's almost like they thought this was a good idea but never planned anything. I have seen Student films done better then what these grown adults made. And I won't go into detail or spoil it but just make it have more fights and maybe that could save it but even then I don't think it would. Just a pure mess never should have been made.
