**Beware SPOILERS** Obi-Wan Kenobi Series on Disney+ **Beware SPOILERS**

If you think it's bad now, just wait until The Book of Babu Frik.

Not gonna lie, despite hating the disney trilogy I would totally watch that. Babu, one of the few bright spots of the Disney movies

Of course, since people generally like Babu they will find a way to ruin him

Disney's Babu Frik -- the defiled version

First, completely disregard his technical background.

Second, have someone else do a poor imitation of the original voice and toss the puppet for a horribly cheap CGI version.

Third, give him an impossible backstory: Babu Frik was a pet to young Anakin when he was still a slave. Frik then lived inside R2 for many years, traveling the galaxy. When R2 "plugs in" to the Death Star, it is Babu Frik inside who gets the details. In fact, it is Babu Frik who stops the garbage-masher.

Still plenty beloved EU book/comic/game characters that they could ruin. Mara Jade, Thrawn etc

Most of the best writing is in the EU, since George's forte wasn't storytelling but knowing which visual imagery would mesmerise an audience.

George's story made less and less sense every time he returned to it, and Disney are following in that tradition with every new film or series.

It's inevitable, because they'll keep looking for opportunities to fill in the gaps to create more product.

I'd prefer to watch a show about Babu Frik then to continue watching Disney defile the cherished characters of my youth for their own financial gain.

Babu Frik can do no wrong.

I'm sure I read that he will be in Mando 3.

Spot on.


Modern Disney Star Wars story telling right there. Just add in some bad shaky cam and plot holes and you got a show!

Only thing would add to your outline is that Babu needs to start out weak, incompetent and pathetic for no reason, until of course Disney OC character who is superior because diverse teaches him to be better at what he is specialised in.

Add in a chase scene where Babu easily outruns several full grown adults and when they finally corner him it's revealed that they've actually been chasing a droid with a hat on and then the real Babu magically appears behind them and captures them all in a net he'd conveniently set up in that exact spot.

Opening scene of Disney's Babu Frik - SW Defiled show, crossing over from BOBF...
Baldy Fett: "Yes, I have experience of this creature..."
(Translated Tusken) - "No-no, Babu Frik goes different place..."

Disney not even bothering to de-age (with all that tech they have already) Ewan and Hayden for the flashback scenes is the most glaring piece of evidence of them cheaping out on this series.

It seemed like they tried to de-age them, it just wasn't very well done - yeah I guess cheaping out.

Obi-Wan maybe a little, Anakin it doesn’t look like they even tried. When he first turns around thats a 40 year old guy, its even more apparent during the Order 66 scene when his face is illuminated by the harsh light from the lightsaber blade.

I don't think the mouse is short of money so I can only imagine it's Disney not really caring that the finished product is the best it can be.

Yeah that shot in particular really jumped out as old Hayden but in the duel his face looked a bit off/funky in places, like some "Irishman" work was attempted but wasn't enough.

It might have been better if the duel had been staged in a darker environment and you didn't see their faces as much, then focus all efforts on a handful of de-aged shots.

Legit question - does the eggman have more information than the audience about Reba? He keeps saying they found her in the gutter but didn't they find her in the nicest building on Coruscant in the best school studying to be a wizard police officer with a license to kill?

Indeed.
Also, wasn't the GI a former Jedi from the temple himself?

It's Babu Frik who beds Leia and is Kylo's father and that's why Han leaves.

My brain went to a place just now that it might not have gone except for The Boys opening episode to season 3.

My buddy just told me that they do mention Reva was somehow found in the streets after the purge. So that's cool that they wrote something that works out. I'm proud of them!
