WithObi-Wan Kenobihaving ended a few weeks ago, many fans and critics continue to voice their criticisms of the latest piece ofStar Warscontent on Disney Plus. However, one hard-working fan wasn’t happy to just complain about the show and instead took matters into his own hands to create his own 2-hour feature film ofObi-Wan.
In this case, all credit is due to a young filmmaker, producer, editor, and visual effects artist named Kai Patterson, who, as aStar Warsfan, had followed the series’ development over on TikTok by posting some videos addressing some of the more commonlydebated decisions inObi-Wan Kenobi. For the sake of awareness,Obi-Wan Kenobiwas at some point pitched as a potential film trilogy, which is why it’s not exactly ludicrous that Patterson took the initiative to go over the entire series’ footage to create his very own “Patterson Cut.”

It bears saying the entire footage oftheObi-Wan Kenobiseriesadds up to roughly 3 hours and 40 minutes worth of film, which Patterson trimmed down by more than a third of that. For example, although Hayden Christensen was not de-aged, gone are the scenes where Leia is running off from her kidnappers. Meanwhile, Reva gets a drastic makeover due to Patterson believing some fans’ negative perception of the character was precisely the way the rest of the Inquisitors addressed her.
As for availability, at the time of writing Patterson has removed all links to the film on his site (naturally it can be found uploaded on less legal sites). Nevertheless, he claims he will share it upon request to those that ask for it, with 1080p being the highest quality available until he finds time to eventually make a 4K version. Patterson says he has no plans of doing similar edits for otherStar Warsshows, but rather his sole goal was to hone his skills and offer fans who shared the same ideasa different look atObi-Wan Kenobi.
