Biggest Behind The Scenes Star Wars Mistakes That Ever Happened

5. Turning Obi-Wan Kenobi Into A Series Instead Of Sticking To The Movie Concept - Obi-Wan Kenobi

The undoubted failure of Solo: A Star Wars Story at the box office had a seismic effect on the way Disney and Lucasfilm told their space-aged stories in the years that would follow (something that will again be touched upon before the end of this list).

Had said Star Wars Story joined the likes of the Sequel Trilogy and Rogue One as entries of varying quality that still managed to rope in the big bucks, there's a strong chance Ewan McGregor would've been gifted the chance to step back into his beloved Obi-Wan Kenobi's boots on the big-screen when all was said and done.

Yet, Solo did underperform at the box office. And so, instead of doubling down on what was expected to be a trilogy of Kenobi flicks penned by screenwriter Stuart Beattie, Disney decided to instead take the story he'd come up with over the course of a year-and-a-half of scribbling for that first film and expand it into a six-part TV series.

And the at times underwhelming end results told the story of a project that would've undoubtedly benefited from both a two-hour runtime - rather than six - and the larger than life budget likely needed to give Kenobi and Vader's rematch for the ages the sense of spectacle and drama a tale this anticipated and epic always deserved.
