How much would 'Obi Wan: A SW Story' have made?


say Obi Wan had come out instead of Solo would it have made the same or a lot more (couldn't make any less!)

people actually wanted to see an Obi Wan movie. whereas Solo Begins had to be way down on anyone list (behind a Yoda movie and probably even Boba as at least those you get the characters looking/feeling like the actual characters - not an impersonating actor).and youd have the original actor back (ok not Alec but the original in alot of peoples minds who are now grown up who loved the prequels as kids) and at least there would've been The Force/Jedi elements and light sabre action (hell you could've had him fight 'Robo' Maul instead of his daft Solo cameo)

my guess is itd have made at least 500m ww - maybe even 700m. and obviously had it come out xmas it could've done R1 BO (even Solo probably could've hit 500m had it come out xmas)

You're right. You probably could have gotten McGregor to play him again and I think people would have been find with that. Never had a problem with his Obi Wan. Not like the bland dude in Solo. I think this could have been a modest hit for Lucasfilm. With decent reviews, yeah probably something like 700-800 mill worldwide, maybe even more if it really turns out to be surprisingly good.


Have a short review of this movie if anyone is interested- https://youtu.be/SVdMCNhBstI
