With the events of Obi-Wan Kenobi still percolating in the minds of GFFA fans everywhere Stuart Beattie, the writer of the film script upon which the limited series was based, has spoken about his part in the show, explaining the reasons why the film morphed into a six part series and just how much of his original story made it into the show.
“I wrote the film that they based the show on. So, yeah. I spent like a year, year-and-a-half working on it. And then, when the decision was made not to make any more spin-off films after Solo came out, I left the project and went on to other things. Joby came on and took my scripts and turned it from two hours into six. So, I did not work with them at all, I just got credit for the episodes because it was all my stuff.”
