OBI-WAN KENOBI: Legends Character A’Sharad Hett Was Set To Be The Lead Villain Before Creative Changes

Lucasfilm has gone back to the drawing board with the Obi-Wan Kenobi series coming to Disney+, but a new report may shed some light on which villain was set to be the big bad of the previous iteration...

Filed Under: Obi-Wan Kenobi

Obi-Wan Kenobi is currently on hold while Lucasfilm figure out how to reconfigure the series and while the plan is for shooting to take place next year so it meets that scheduled 2021 release, we don't know how different it will end up being to what was originally planned.

Now, though, The Illuminerdi has revealed that Star Wars Legends (i.e. the tales told before Disney purchased Lucasfilm which are now no longer canon) character A'Sharad Hett was set to be the lead villain in the version of the Disney+ series that was supposed to begin filming this August.

A Jedi during the Clone Wars, he was friends with Anakin Skywalker and became a skilled warrior who managed to escape Emperor Palpatine's Purge during the events of Revenge of the Sith. He eventually became a warlord for the Tusken Raiders on Tatooine, and planned to take revenge on the Empire before getting caught up in his newfound power and started killing indiscriminately.

When he took aim at the farm a young Luke Skywalker lived on, Kenobi ultimately defeated him in battle and he left the planet after being refused a warrior's death, becoming the Sith known as Darth Krayt. Needless to say, you can see why Lucasfilm was keen on re-imagining him here.

Reports have suggested that part of the reason for Obi-Wan Kenobi being overhauled is that the concept of the Jedi Knight protecting a young Luke is too similar to The Mandalorian, so this is something that may very well have been ditched now. Hopefully, we'll hear more concrete details soon.

Hit the "Next" button to check out the most unforgiveable
mistakes Lucasfilm has made since being acquired by Disney!

Never Reuiniting The Franchise's "Trinity"

It's become clear that Lucasfilm never really had a game plan for the sequel trilogy and while George Lucas would frequently make things up as he went along, not having an ending in place and relying on three different filmmakers to attempt to craft one cohesive story was never going to work.

However, the fact that J.J. Abrams not only failed to bring Luke, Leia, and Han back together again for one more scene but killed the latter off so early on is downright unforgivable.

It was completely the right decision to move the spotlight to a new trio of heroes rather than, well, an elderly group of adventurers, but it's hard not to feel robbed that we were never given the opportunity to explore their lives together. To make matters worse, the impact of Han's death on Luke was barely even touched on in The Last Jedi, and this is one mistake that can now never be undone.

The Fall Of Luke Skywalker

Talking of Luke, it's not hard to see why Mark Hamill was so disappointed and disillusioned by how the character's story arc was handled across this trilogy.

With seconds of screentime in The Force Awakens and then the reveal in The Last Jedi that he had gone into hiding after Ben Solo was turned to the Dark Side (rather than, you know, trying to stop Supreme Leader Snoke and the First Order), Luke was depicted as a failure and a far cry from the hero fans had imagined the Jedi Knight becoming in the years following Return of the Jedi.

There is a lot about this that admittedly worked, but a brief Force Ghost appearance in The Rise of Skywalker wasn't enough to undo the damage that had been dealt to him in the years prior.

Telling Stories That Didn't Need To Be Told

Rogue One was a fun ride and Solo is much better than a lot of people give it credit for. But did we really need to learn about the Rebels who stole the Death Star plans or find out that an Imperial officer named the iconic space-smuggler Han "Solo"?

Given the massive creative issues these spinoffs faced behind the scenes (Rogue One went through major third act reshoots, while Solo had a change of directors during production), it's clear that Lucasfilm struggled to tell these stories and this likely comes as a result of Disney wanting yearly Star Wars movies in theaters.

Unfortunately, the reaction to Solo led to a lot of great sounding spinoffs being scrapped, and the studio seemingly deciding not to further explore this period outside of Disney+. That's not the right move; instead, they just needed to make better decisions when it came to which stories actually needed to be told.

Too Much Fan-Service

Nowhere was this particular complaint more relevant than with The Rise of Skywalker. Rian Johnson made a lot of ballsy and divisive decisions in The Last Jedi, some of which worked, while others did not. However, to essentially undo those in a bid to make fans happy with the Skywalker Saga finale backfired on Lucasfilm in a big way.

Everything from Emperor Palpatine's return to Rose Tico receiving pretty much no screentime felt forced and a way of making the angry, middle-aged fans who spend thousands of dollars a year on merchandise happy.

The focus should have instead been on taking what Johnson did and building on it in order to create a satisfying and cohesive ending that didn't feel like a completely different movie tacked onto the two that preceded it. Lucasfilm tried to make everyone happy and instead delivered a film which didn't really work for anyone (hence why it's the worst-reviewed Star Wars movie to date).

A Long List Of Unanswered Questions

Look, we're not asking for everything to be spelled out to us, but why would The Force Awakens introduce so many huge mysteries only to never actually explain them in any way? It's true that the original trilogy didn't reveal the Emperor's backstory, but there wasn't really much need for that and the expectations of moviegoers have changed a lot since he first appeared.

Supreme Leader Snoke has been dismissed as a creation of Palpatine's but we've had no explanation about how that actually worked. The same goes for the iconic villain's return from the dead, not to mention the origins of the Knights of Ren, a group teased in The Force Awakens, forgotten about in The Last Jedi, and then given seconds of meaningless screentime in The Rise of Skywalker.

In fact, many of these unanswered questions have been addressed in comic books and tie-in novels rather than the movies themselves, a pretty lousy form of storytelling when you think about it.

Too Many Jedi Knights

If Rogue One and Solo proved anything, it's that Star Wars can work without the endless battle between the Jedi and Sith. However, fans still want to see that lightsaber action, hence why we've now learned that Order 66 didn't really wipe out the Jedi Order. In fact, there were plenty of them left scattered across the Galaxy based on what we've seen in the comics, video games, and TV shows.

Not only does this make Luke and Obi-Wan Kenobi significantly less special than we thought, but it dilutes the Force and the importance of the Skywalker family on the battle between the Light and Dark sides of the Force.

We have been introduced to a lot of great characters, and the idea that Darth Vader hunted down the remaining Jedi is one that works, but even the concept of the Sith Inquisitors and Knights of Ren lessens the impact of the Sith and what we thought was the supposedly important "Rule of Two."

Forgetting The Expanded Universe

Look, it's not hard to understand why Lucasfilm decided to do away with the Expanded Universe as the new movies being beholden to decades of novels, video games, and comics would have made no more sense than Marvel Studios attempting to set a future Marvel movie in the same world as the comic books and hoping that non-hardcore fans would be able to follow what's happening!

While a clean slate was the right move for the new movies, to leave so much of what made Star Wars great from the EU off the table feels like a major mistake on Lucasfilm's part.

Everything from Darth Revan to Mara Jade and Starkiller being forgotten about feels like a missed opportunity, and when Lucasfilm has attempted to deliver new takes on these concepts and characters, it hasn't really worked! Again, a little more planning would have helped with this issue as there really are parts of the EU which deserved to live on.

A Lack Of Pay-Offs

We've mentioned things like Supreme Leader Snoke and the Knights of Ren, but a lack of pay-offs really has been plaguing this era of Star Wars stories from the very start.

Darth Maul's return in Solo has seemingly been forgotten about; Finn spent the entirety of The Rise of Skywalker debating whether to tell Rey that he suddenly has Force powers without us ever getting to see that conversation; the return of Darth Vader's helmet meant nothing as it was just the Emperor pretending to be him when Kylo Ren communicated with his "grandfather."

These are just a few examples, but far too many storylines have been set up without any sort of proper resolution and that's made it hard to get invested in this era of storytelling.

Change For The Sake Of Change

Merchandise has always been a huge part of the Star Wars franchise, but never has that been more apparent than during the period Lucasfilm has been owned by Disney.

C-3PO was given a red arm in The Force Awakens because that would mean people would actually want to buy new toys featuring the iconic droid (the change, meanwhile, was only addressed in a random comic book). Because Kylo Ren's helmet is a top seller, it was reforged in The Rise of Skywalker even though it's destruction was a key character moment for the villain in The Last Jedi.

Oh, and do try not to forget those red Sith Troopers in the latest instalment of the trilogy! Disney likes to sell toys, and that means we've seen a lot of pointless changes like these.

The End Of The Skywalkers

The story of the Skywalker family spanned nine films but, ultimately, it seems that none of them really managed to bring balance to the Force. Darth Vader killed his Master but a bunch of unnamed Sith loyalists ended up bringing him back from the dead. Luke gave up and hid on an island and Leia just died after reaching out to her son (a sad necessity due to Carrie Fisher's real-life demise).

The Skywalkers went out with a whimper rather than a bang, and while it was great to see Ben Solo find redemption, having Rey Palpatine declare herself "Rey Skywalker" was all sorts of cringe.

It's hard to escape the feeling that, really, the Skywalkers are now just a footnote in the history books of this Galaxy and not as important as we were once led to believe. After everything Anakin went through, he didn't even make a cameo appearance here, and if we do see another Skywalker on screen in the future...well, they'll probably be a descendent of Emperor Palpatine...

Do you guys agree that Lucasfilm has made some major mistakes since 2012 or are we being too harsh? Let us know your thoughts on that in the comments section below.

I never knew of this character. Hopefully they can still find a way to bring him to live action if the plans haven't changed that much.

@NinnesMBC -

Worth the 5-minute watch. With knowledge of his backstory in Legends, you can kind of see where they were going with his involvement in the Obi-Wan series

He would've been nice to have and I feel like they could've tweaked the story to make room for him, without him going after Luke.

Rewrite and have obi wan fight Darth Maul live action wooooo

SerKurtWagner - 2/5/2020, 12:27 PM

I hope they find a way to still use him. He was always my top choice to be the villain in this.

Chewtoy - 2/5/2020, 12:31 PM

Here's the problem I have with a prequel story like this with Obi Wan protecting a young Luke Skywalker... What is possibly in doubt? Luke's gonna live. Obi Wan is gonna live. The villain is never going to be heard of again.

You're already handicapping yourself with a hero who can never be in real jeopardy, so you have to have a goal that can be put in doubt.

clornelas - 2/5/2020, 12:36 PM

@Chewtoy - Rogue One was the best Star Wars movie (that's right, I said it) and you knew both that the rebels were going to get the plans and that everyone involved was going to die. Still spectacular.

Chewtoy - 2/5/2020, 12:48 PM

@TheJustinHammer - Sure, but it's still a handicap to *know* it without a doubt... and as I said, you offset that by having a goal that can be in doubt instead. Here, it would have neither.

@clornelas - I disagree entirely that Rogue One is written in a way that the audience is supposed to know ahead of time that all of the major charactes die in the end. It specifically uses all-new characters with different goals to tell the story.

Regardless, it's true that you can make a compelling story out of a known tragedy... a sense of known dread actually helps build drama. But keep in mind this Obi Wan thing can't be a tragedy for Obi Wan or Luke... there is no building sense of doom. They can't lose.

clornelas - 2/5/2020, 12:56 PM

@Chewtoy - As to Rogue One, all new characters... that never show up in any subsequent movies. I guess you can tell yourself that maybe after they inevitably succeed they decide they're done with the rebellion and ride off into the sunset, or maybe these soon to be heroes become background extras as the original trilogy unfolds.
As to Ob1 and Luke, they can't lose... Unless someone, anyone becomes special to either of them in the 20 years on tattooine. Not entirely unforeseeable. In fact, you've gotta imagine that the cast will consist of more than OB1, Luke, Beru, and Owen, and that some of those people will be of marginal significance to the ones we know survive to Ep. 4. I suspect OB1 will lose a great deal.

Chewtoy - 2/5/2020, 1:12 PM

@TheJustinHammer - @clornelas -

And there you go... you have both added goals that are in doubt to make the concept more interesting, because you have to... the core concept of "Obi Wan protects Luke" is inherently uninteresting, as it is in no doubt.

So, the more interesting premise to this series is not "Obi Wan must protect Luke from A'Sharad Hett", but rather "Obi Wan must accomplish ________ while keeping his vow to watch over Luke."

I don't have a problem with this villainous character or even a goal to protect Luke, but that's a complication and not a compelling storyline itself, and so it's shouldn't be sold as the conflict of the tale. The meat of the storyline is what protecting Luke is conflicting with... that's where things get interesting.

clornelas - 2/5/2020, 12:41 PM

I like the idea because if a force sensitive, good or bad, were to visit tattooine, they would undoubtedly sense the presence of OB1 and Luke's power. So if you're planning on a story with OB1 solely on tattooine, you're probably going to include Luke in some way, UNLESS OB1 will not be going up against other force sensitives, which The Mandalorian already showed us is both possible and enjoyable.

clornelas - 2/5/2020, 12:44 PM

How about an episode with an older Cal Kestis and maybe Cere showing up, helping out Ob1, and realizing that the time isn't right to begin Luke's training? As filler episodes go, it would be a great one. Hell, any excuse to get Cameron Monaghan more involved in the SW universe.

ngg8tron - 2/5/2020, 1:02 PM

This might be the maddest I have ever been with the new canon. I LOVE Legacy and they keep ruining it.

AnthonyVonGeek - 2/5/2020, 1:07 PM

Here Kennedy admits the scripts are done and it’s ready to shoot so what happened?
Why the abrupt change of everything?
She is the worst choice to lead Lucasfilm, everything she touches falls apart.
#impeachkathleenkennedy

L0RDbuckethead - 2/5/2020, 1:08 PM

Damn, that's a shame. I knew they were thinking of using him and his backstory when this was still considered a movie., but I didn't know the plot had carried over to the TV show plans.

I can kind of see what they meant by saying it would've been a bit too similar to the Mandalorian.

Sucks though. Hett v Obi-Wann would've been badass.

bkmeijer2 - 2/5/2020, 2:21 PM

I'm kinda glad they're moving on from that idea, because I think it would be kinda boring to introduce another Jedi that survived Order 66. I much rather see a character like the MCU's Zemo, just a regular guy with a very personal connection to the main character
