Summary
- Two Star Wars TV shows, Obi-Wan Kenobi and The Book of Boba Fett, were originally planned as movies but transitioned to TV, hindering their storytelling and potential.
- The sustained output of TV content from Star Wars can be attributed to these transitions, but the shows could have benefitted from the more confined runtime of movies.
- The iconic characters of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Boba Fett deserved standalone stories on the big screen, as their popularity and viewer interest were evident even in TV formats.
Two Star Wars Disney+ shows were originally developed as feature films before transitioning to TV despite the former format being the better option. Since Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012, the Star Wars franchise has grown immeasurably concerning the output of content. This shows no sign of slowing down with Disney announcing three new upcoming Star Wars movies at Star Wars Celebration 2023 to take the franchise into the future on the big screen.
