Disney Plus' Obi-Wan Kenobi show spent a long time in hiding, which I guess is appropriate. Originally announced at the 2019 D23 Expo, the show was supposed to be the jewel in the platform’s 2020 crown.

Loosely adapting the 2005 miniseries by The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman, the story saw the MCU Earth suffering through a zombie apocalypse.

But one scene might have gone too far.
