Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)

 

The story starts in 2011 when they find Steve Rogers’ frozen body in the Arctic. The story then proceeds to introduce us to Steve. A scrawny young man with asthma who dearly wants to go to war because he doesn’t like bullies. I loved how they made it the 1940’s and then proceeded to play with Steve’s outdated ideals for the rest of the franchise. Really one of the best of the Marvel films.

Voyagers (1982-1983)

 

In 1982, time traveler Phineas Bogg accidently teleports into the home of Jeffery Jones’ home. Bogg’s job is to fix history and restore the timeline when things go wrong. Bogg loses his guidebook that tells him how history is supposed to go so Jones, whose father had been a history professor, ends up traveling with Bogg and helping to correct history because he knows what’s supposed to happen. It was a great show and really ended far too soon.

Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022)

 

This show takes place about six years after the events of Revenge of the Sith and stars Ewan McGregor once again as Kenobi. Kenobi at this point is a very broken man. He can’t reach his master. Owen and Beru won’t let him within ten feet of Luke. And he believes he killed his brother (and he kind of did and kind of didn’t). But then Bail contacts him and tells him that Leia has been kidnapped which forces this old Jedi master to leave Tattoine and perhaps find himself in the process…

There are rumors of a second season, but nothing currently set in stone.
