They were complaining ahead of the whole show there was nowhere for the story to go because we knew how it turned out. They were wrong. I agree that I think thematically they tied everything up in a nice bow, and that it being one season only has made it something special, but there are absolutely ways to tell a new dramatic story too. Just knowing where the story ends doesn't mean you can't find fun on the journey also.

I do want another season, telling a different story. But yes, you can tell stories even when you know the final outcome. How would we have prequels otherwise?

Or even historical dramas. Did they complain that there was no point watching Titanic or Apollo 13 because we already knew how it was going to end? Because the box office numbers say otherwise.

[philstar22]

Yup. I get that for some people surprise is everything, though in that case I'm not sure why they'd even ever rewatch media. But that isn't true for many people.

tbh I went into Obi-Wan knowing NOTHING, so I could ensure I had no expectations that had to be met. the only thing I imagined was that it was going to be a case of "well, there's this 15-20 year gap we know nothing bout, surely there were some rollicking adventures to be had on Tattooine while attempting to keep your identity a secret."

I was not expecting the story we got and frankly, it's not one I would have wanted. having to tie everything to Anakin and the backstory using new characters that were wasted a la Tite Kubo forgetting about the 25 characters he just introduced. It was poorly-paced even for a short-run series, it needed to either be a full 12-26 episodes or one movie, not this in-between bullshit that was obviously padded from a movie-length script.

so now? No. No, unless you're actually bringing me rollicking Tattooine adventues (which I don't want anymore on behalf of the sets and the actors) I just plain don't want it. No amount of interacting with Jawas and having Odd Couple conversations with the ghost of Qui-Gon is worth it.

I liked it the way it was, but I could totally see more stories for the character. Because the two main things I disliked were 1) he starts out hopeless and broken and 2) it's all about the Skywalkers. The show handled both well enough it didn't bother me too much, but a 2nd season would obviously not have the first and most people seem to agree he and Vader at least shouldn't meet again.

I'm also a bit disappointed now that I've heard about some of the scripts they didn't use. One had lots of Cody and the clones, and I would have loved that. If another season can give us more focus on all of Obi-wan's other relationships that aren't Skywalker(-related) I'd be all for it.

Or we could have a show that's not about Obi-Wan but does feature him. Like one about the clones, or the Path/Rebellion. I'd be fine with that too.
