Disney+’s Obi-Wan Kenobi drew passionate reactions both for and against the show, but a controversial spinoff could prove some haters wrong. From complaints that the show wasn’t faithful enough to the prequels to others that the narrative didn’t focus enough on the most dramatic character dichotomy, if produced, a spinoff series would have many criticisms to redress.

However, his life changes when he's called out of hiding to save a young Princess Leia after her kidnapping by an Inquisitor, forcing him to face the demons of his past and the threats of his present.
