Obi-Wan Kenobi movie trilogy was the first casualty of Solo bomb
Yesterday 6:50PM

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, we now return Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Star Wars Story to the Earth’s crust.

Roughly four years after an explosive box office bomb known as Solo wiped out a library of unread Star Wars Stories, sources excavated the blast’s first identified casualty. Before it was a Disney+ series, Obi-Wan Kenobi was a proposed spin-off trilogy in development when Solo exploded, presumably, due to a coaxium leak.

Speaking to The Direct, Stuart Beattie, the Obi-Wan Kenobi film series screenwriter who received writing credits on the recently-concluded TV series, said that Solo was the deciding factor in taking Obi-Wan from the big screen to the small one.

“It was Solo that changed the direction of the system,” Beattie said. “I like Solo, personally, but it hadn’t made a lot of money… it certainly crushed us. Devastated, absolutely devastated. But, that’s the business, you know, highs and lows. I’m glad it got made. I’m glad the show got made. I’m proud of my story. I’m glad my characters are all through it. And I’m glad I got credit for it. I wish they’d been able to make my movies.”

Solo reportedly needed to make more than $500 million just to break even but grossed roughly $393 million at the worldwide box office, a disappointing total that director Ron Howard later blamed on online trolls.
