[Connor Harrison]

No official confirmation from LucasFilm or Disney, but hot sources have just dropped an Obi-Wan Kenobi stand-alone film focusing on the saga spanning Jedi Master is in early stages.

Stephen Daldry, the Oscar-nominated director behind 'Billy Elliot' and 'The Hours' is in early talks. No news on if Ewan McGregor will return.

I'd love to see Ewan back in the role.

 

[Connor Harrison]

[member="Valiens Nantaris"] He's the only man for the job really. It's him or nothing.

I dunno, I always saw Bernard Hill (Theoden) as good 'tween McGregor and Guinness Obi-Wan

He's a bit too old now. if they'd done this at the time of LOTR, sure, but now...he's older than Alec was.

 

[Matsu Xiangu]

​

And that isn't even dramatic because I actually felt a small tear in my eye. OBI-WAN IS MY FAVORITE AND HE'S THE REASON I LOVE STAR WARS AS MUCH AS I DO AND--

Oh man, I hope this is true.

 

[Teynara Jeralyr]

Ewan did say he'd love to do a stand-alone film as Obi-Wan, so maybe they can get him involved. That would just be the very epitome of awesome.

And, if they can't get him, they should just cancel the film.

 

[Pal Veda]

Agreed with all the Ewan McGregor replies. It just makes sense.

 

[Coci Heavenshield]

​

From the first moment he hit the screen.​

​

It better be Ewan!​

It better happen!​

 

[Teynara Jeralyr]

This could be bad news for the spin-off...

 

[Connor Harrison]

They wouldn't go Young would they? Padawan Kenobi: The Early Years?

That's just Phantom Menace all over again. And young Qui-Gon too probably to mentor him.

Ugh.

 

[Pal Veda]

It looks almost like that was a mis-report, as his source doesn't seem to mention it's a young Kenobi, just a Kenobi spin-off.

 

[Xin Boa]

I'm setting my interest levels to eeh so far for this one.

I feel like I want some different standalone sagas. You can get the nostalgia by just being grounded in the universe (like Rogue one but with less of the unnecessary fan service) you don't just have to retread familiar characters.

I almost wish we had more Rogue One characters left to tell some more stories set between ANH and ESB.

 

[Pal Veda]

I'd like to see what Dash Rendar was up to after ROTJ.

 

[Cel Airres]

I agree with everyone else. Ewan or nothing.

 

[Jor Kvall]

I would be down for a darker film where Obi-Wan is a grizzled old pessimistic war hero trying to make his way after all his friends were killed.

[member="Jor Kvall"] That's brilliant. It puts him in so much context we may forget about on coming to the Original Trilogy.

 

[Tathra Khaeus]

[member="Stephanie Swail"]
Right!? I love stuff like that.

[member="Jor Kvall"]
Good find.

 

[Darth Voyance]

Only kind of stand alone I want see....

But, yes, in all seriousness, I think something like this THE MOVIE would be cool...

 

[RulerofTwo]

If it does what Rouge One did, and what I think the Han Solo movie will do, and shed some light on something else in the Star Wars universe while being a fun stand-alone adventure I'm all the happier for it.
