Obi-Wan Kenobi Series Will Give Star Wars Fan Satisfaction

Published

on

The highly anticipated Disney + series, Obi-Wan Kenobi promises to give fans what they want, in the form of a reunion with title characters, Obi-Wan and Darth Vader. Recently, a poster with a release date of May 25th made its way onto the internet, sending Star Wars fans into a hype frenzy. Ewan McGregor has praised series Director Deborah Chow (The Mandalorian) for her Star Wars knowledge while also hyping up the return of Hayden Christensen. (Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader)

In a recent interview with Forbes, McGregor shed some light as to what fans can expect from the upcoming  series.

“It was a great experience. Deborah Chow directed all the episodes and she’s really good. She directed a couple [episodes] of The Mandalorian and she’s a really great director. She really knows the Star Wars world, inside out, far more than I do (laughs). We just had a great time. I think it’s no secret that  comes back and we got to play scenes together again as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker and it was just fantastic to work with him again. I’m not going to give away anything else about the storyline, only I think it’s really going to satisfy Star Wars fans.”

McGregor says he’s always envisioned a story between the events of ‘Revenge of the Sith,’ and ‘A New Hope.’ Ewan McGregor’s younger version of Obi-Wan hasn’t been on screen since 2005, but McGregor hopes to bridge the gap between his version and Alec Guiness’s aged version of Ben Kenobi.

“I always felt there was a story between Episode III where I finished playing Obi-Wan in the movies and Episode IV where Alec Guinness is Obi-Wan Kenobi. The [Obi-Wan Kenobi series] writers and Deb and I and everyone, I think we crafted or they crafted a very fine storyline. I think people are going to like it.”

Obi-Wan Kenobi series will land on Disney+ on May 25

Why ‘Return to Oz’ is one of my favorite films now

Published

on

I have said it once and I’ll say it again. Nothing could match the sheer brilliance of the 1939 Judy Garland-led film The Wizard of Oz, but there is another film that was flown under the radar that was forgotten by many Oz fans after its release. That film was Return to Oz.

The movie is the unofficial sequel to the 1939 classic film. It follows a young Dorothy Gale six months after she came back from the Land of Oz. She is sent a key by the scarecrow via a shooting star and gets back to the magical land of Oz using a raft on a floating river. She is accompanied by a talking chicken, a metalhead named Tik-Tok, a Gump and Jack Pumpkinhead. 

The gang battles the evil Princess Mombi and her boss the Nome King. They must find the Scarecrow and unfreeze all of the inhabitants of the Emerald City. 

The film bombed at the box-office and only received mixed reviews, but, over the years, it has gained popularity, thanks to the internet and other Oz fans. 

As a child, I have always been fascinated with the idea of a person or a group of people traveling to a distant and fantastical land of wonder and amazement. That’s why I love movies like Alice In Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz and The Chronicles of Narnia but this Walter Murch film from 1985 seems to capture my attention whenever I’m on Disney+ trying to kill some time. 

The story is so simple that it takes the journey of the hero and breathes new life into the marvelous land of Oz and the films that inspired it. It has a certain kinship to the nostalgic movies that I previously watched as a child in the 2000s. 

Another reason that I love this film so much is because of the magnificent score by David Shire. His music is so beautifully crafted that it makes one weak in the knees and the heart. Each note is a transformative thrill into Murch’s vision of what L. Frank Baum’s Oz was. The film uses every single strand of filmmaking techniques that the 1939 film originally hosted. 

Since its release, it has been acclaimed as a cult classic and its nostalgic charm is what makes it so likable and watchworthy.
