Considering how many races make up the Star Wars universe it's unfair they cast so many humans. Like humans are the only effective/interesting/powerful race in the universe, talk about hubris.
And to the idiots saying Obi-wan was boring in the recent movies, have you ever thought that a TV series like this is the perfect vehicle to talk about all the interesting stuff he does when he's not trying to save dumbass kids from tripping over their own dicks?

Actually there are many more people who bathe than don’t so I only have to hold my nose every now and then.

Diversity isn't the problem, it's OK. Where it goes off the rails is pushing wokeness and 1uping the CIS white protagonist.
Do we know if this is a Kennedy gig or a Favreau gig? If that's known set your expectations accordingly.

Everything is a Kennedy gig.

But people want a white cast like the 70's and 80's version and just 1 or 2 token black characters.
I dotn care who they cast as long as they do a good job in the roles.
My main concern is that given that Vader will be in this I assume he and Obiwon will face off at some point, rendering their battle on the Death Star at the most meaningless and at minimum less impactful.
"When I last saw you, I was the learner and you were the master ... which was like last year".

They might only interact in flashbacks, that's always a possibility.
ya good point. I was never one to think that "it didnt seem like they were good friends at all!". i think the movies did an acceptable job showing their real friendship but I know a lot of people felt that it wasnt fleshed out enough. The books and other EU material expanded on it a lot better though.
Flashbacks might be cool
Funny i just watched Revenge of the Sith with my 5 year old. The ending is dark for a kid for sure! My favorite prequel though.

Oh wow, Hayden is in this? Great chance to make up for his subpar recitation in the prequels. I hope the man (and the script) don’t waste it.
Joel Edgerton, too? Very, very interesting cast.

I personally hope not, I feel that the powers that Kylo and Ray use in the sequel trilogy are newish powers. Although, Luke didn't seem surprised by the power usage in The Last Jedi, just that she was talking to Kylo (from what I remember).

Not only that, but we can be damned sure the bad guys will be white as well as have a penis.

I like Star Wars, I will probably like Kenobi, but I would like them to get SW away from all the characters we know and love. They are about to make Obi-wan some woke dude. They will make Vader being some who appropriates culture, it is a white dude in a suit with a black mans voice.

Majority of villains in the 80's and 90's were white with a penis. Why does that matter now?

Well, you said so yourself. Movies then, were 80-90% white. Which made sense for a white villain.
Now, white men are pretty much minority in these new films and yet, likely to be villains.

Makes sense for Owen and Beru to be in it if Obi-Wan is looking over Luke from a distance.

You see what you want to see.
John Wick - white hero, Italian villain
John Wick 3 - white hero, one Chinese/Filo villain and 2 Indonesian villains
Extraction - white hero, Indian villain
Mandalorian - Chilean hero, Italian/African-American villain
Dark Knight Rises - white hero, French woman
Dredd - white hero, white woman
Furious 7 - whole bunch a heroes, 1 white villain and 1 black villain
Just to name a few.

Hah, I didn’t even remember he was uncle Owen in the prequels! Never really paid attention to that.

Wasn’t the latest bad guy in Star Wars black though?

Casting seems fine.
I sort of agree that I don't want Obi Wan to have an actual encounter with Darth Vader. Hopefully it's either flashbacks or some sort of dream, hallucination, meditation exercise or something like that .
Them casting Hayden at least seems to indicate it will be something like that. Would be silly to cast him just to voice some other dude in a costume.
Because people aren't taking out their pitchforks over the cast not being 99% White?.
Don't mistake hating woke shit with hating people from other races

And this villain may be as well.
A lot of people are thinking that Moses Ingram is playing Rae Sloane:

I've already put my childhood toys away, and see no reason to drag them out again.
Call me when Kennedy gets shit-canned, and Filloni gets installed in her place. Then, and only then, will I care about Star Wars again. As far as I'm concerned old canon is true canon, Disney Wars is bad fanfiction.

Italians are considered white. French are minorities now? You’re reaching for the stars here. And Extraction got a shitload of hate for having a white male protagonist in a middle eastern region.

I'll give it a try but my expectations are low. Modern star wars just hasn't done it for me. The franchise ended in 83 as far as I'm concerned.

OK then. It’s an ass hair shy of India. I haven’t seen the film regardless.

Mandolorian is good stuff. The only decent thing to come out of starwars since Jedi.
