Obi-Wan Kenobi Movie Announced With Rumors Of More Things To Come
I'm still not sure why Lucasfilm decided to go with a Han Solo film as the stand-alone follow up to Rogue One. If they would've been taking bets, my money would've been on something a little more Jedi-y. Even though I was wrong on that one, it looks like that's the direction we're going now. In a THR exclusive, Oscar-nominated, Stephen Daldry is in early talks to helm an Obi-Wan Kenobi stand-alone. This has been my most anticipated of all the rumored "Anthology" (Not Prequel) Star Wars films. Don't give up on those rumors by the way, as the article mentions Lucasfilm also considering Yoda & Boba Fett films, with Collider later even mentioning a Jabba the Hutt picture. Those sound pretty cool too, but they're only in "consideration stage" so we'll get back to Obi-Wan. Ewan McGregor, who played Kenobi in the Prequels (Many say the best part of them.), has expressed interests already in returning to the character. However, the sources wanted to emphasize that no actor or script is attached. That being said, Lucasfilm, (Because you're totally reading this...) you have to do this with McGregor. It's an obvious choice, that if not made will make me question the whole thing. Unless we're doing an Obi-Wan as a kid thing, in which I'd also have to question that as well. I think a film set on Tatooine while doing his hermit thing would be amazing, & Ewan falls at the perfect age for it. Only time will tell from here, but I already am more excited for this than Solo. Most importantly however, what do y'all think? Do you want to see this one? Is there one you'd rather see from the list of considerations? For that matter, is there something you'd want instead of all the above? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
