Disney+ should've edited out Obi-Wan Kenobi's violence against children scene in wake of the Uvalde massacre

"In the creative team’s defense, the show was obviously written months, if not a year or more before Uvalde, which occurred less than 48 hours ahead of the season premiere," says Mike Redmond. "Granted, the writers should have anticipated a school shooting happening at any given moment because this is America, but we’re also talking about a massive Sandy Hook-level event. My point is any similarities in Obi-Wan are a terrifying coincidence but make no mistake, there is a jarring parallel to Uvalde that I honestly can’t believe Disney and Lucasfilm didn’t edit it out. They knew it was there because, again, that content warning didn’t happen just for kicks."

I assume this author never saw Episode 3 considering the title of the article.

Honestly? They shouldn't have made this series at all.
