'Star Wars' Obi-Wan Kenobi Film in the Works

[Kithelle]

Ewan McCregor was EASILY the best part of the middle trilogy. And I really want to see what he can do with that character when he has a good story behind it.

Yeah...I"m hoping this will go with Ewan...but the way they're throwing stuff out left and right I worry they may not go with him.

I dunno Ian Mcdiarmid/Liam Neason were pretty amazing too.

Also in my eyes Disney can do no wrong.

Let them pump a million starwars films out each year! So far they have been on a golden run with marvel movies that im not even remotely close to being burned out on also Rogue One and Force Awakens were fantastic movies.

I dont get the 'please dont make lots of movies based on my favorite series' Its fine to feel that way when properties are being mishandled but Disney make critical/commercially great movies year after year.

I really hated FA, but I was quite okay with Rogue One. It did many things right, even down to the not-so-memorable character cast (which is sort of the point, they are the forgotten heroes nobody remembers).

That being said, we're already getting a Han Solo movie - do we really need ANOTHER movie set around the time of the original trilogy/sextilogy? When the SW universe is so vast it literally spans thousands of years, one would think you could find something amazing outside of the 40 or so years of the Skywalker saga.

Where's a Thrawn movie?

Where's a Revan White/Black/Grey trilogy?

Heck, where's ANYTHING to do with the Old Republic, the Sith Empire at the height of its power, the Great Hyperspace War?

we all know his life for fuck sake, give us a yoda life movie damn !

Having an Obi-Wan film is all well and good, but how could they make it a SJW movie?

I really hated TFA as well, it kind of annoys me that the next Star Wars film will also be crap but will rake in millions regardless.

[Archon14]

People, please stop demanding a Revan movie. They still don't consider it canon afaik, they don't have the balls to do anything other than main storyline, and we all know Revan movie has an extremely high chance of being complete shit.

As long as Ewan McCregor returns, I'm game.

+1

I see some negative thoughts directed at TFA for being a remake (although a very well done one) of NH but in general the consensus is generally positive. This isnt like Ghostbusters/Transformers which is overwhelmingly hated by the majority.

[RobertoCarlos]

All of the latest star wars movies have been stellar.

Why so much hostility towards MORE?

Like chocolate cake you can have too much of a good thing.

I dont think anyone is seriously surprised Disney is pumping out star wars films though after spending billions on buying the rights

There is a lot of hate for the Disney star wars films, but it is being off-set by new audiences loving it so the franchise remains a licence to print money. Example, Rogue One saw a large drop in male audiences because it had a female lead so men assumed it was another SJW movie like TFA. But the ticket sales were still very high because the numbers were off-set by increased female audience members.

It's all part of Disney's plan to lock in the next generation to the franchise at the expense of the older generation. You just know the Han Solo movie will be all about Han being useless and getting into trouble with Daenerys Targaryen coming to his rescue.

Man, I would love a Yoda movie. It should be like a Zen journey or some shit. Retcon all this stupid "Yoda uses a lightsaber" bullshit.

[Kaleredar]

for years, people have always said they wanted more movies within the star wars universe, expanding it.

so like, i like that they're doing it, i just hate that they aren't even gonna at least use the old EU stuff as a base.

If they use the old EU stuff then there's nothing really knew to be shown.

Besides, some of the EU stuff was reaaaalllyy weird and disjointed. People are pretending it was some Machiavellian work of brilliant consistency.

[ItachiZaku]

Ob-Wan needs to be played by Dolph Lundren or all bets are off.

[Lorgar Aurelian]

How high are your hopes that Disney would let someone create a good story?

you mean like they have been doing with marvel?

... really now.

Can we please get one Dark Side movie ... without the Sith, Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Stormtroopers, this franchise would be long dead.

But no, go ahead and make another 343522 movies about the retarded Rebels ...

Obi-Wan ... really ... I bet they're making Leia movie after ... -.-

Darth maul was in one movie and wasn't even that big of a player stormtroopers are just people to kill like the droids, vader dooku and the emperor are the only sith that have really done any thing for the movies dooku least so.

Agreed. I would MUCH rather have a movie from a Sith point of view instead of more morally righteous stories from the good guys. Take Vader for instance. He isn't pure evil, like Tarkin or Sidious. Tarkin would blow up an entire planet without a second thought. Vader in contrast views both the Death Star and the genocidal power it represents as petty. Make a movie from Vader's point of view, casting him as the guy who's trying to keep the peace while Rebel insurgents shatter the peace with acts of terrorism. Since so much about Star Wars is about a person's point of view, show us fans a point of view that sees rebels cast as violent terrorists.

no vader is pure evil as far as the new cannon goes more or less.




this takes place right after episode 3 he drowns a whole town/city to beat this jedi and take his saber.

Pod racing, darth maul, Liam Neeson, Crash landing/salvaging on Tatooine, Under water naboo action sequences.

Lot more memorable stuff than suicide squad with Reys Mom

memorable doesn't mean it was good, maul was the only really good part of the movie and he wasn't it most of it.

[Senea]

Ewan McGregor was the only thing that made the prequel trilogy bearable. If this has anyone else playing Obi-Wan, I'm out.

[prwraith]

Ewan McGregor or fuck off.

[Ealyssa]

I thought Rogue One was horrible.... so boring (characters and plot). It was my least favorite of the Star Wars movies. Phantom Menace was far more entertaining.

To each their own. For me Rogue One is easily the best SW movie since the original trilogy. Focused, sobre, on point. Far better than the 3 2-hours kid commercials of the prelogy or the okay-ish episode VII.

It honestly can't be any worse than anything Lucas ever did.

Not trying to take anything away from either of those guys. They both did amazing jobs. But the difference for me is this. I grew up LOVING the original trilogy. Whenever I was sick from school, my brothers and I would watch one of three trilogies, Star Wars, Indiana Jones or Back to the Future, more often than not it was Star Wars. I truly love Star Wars, and Alec Guinness was Obi Wan. Then Ewan McGregor happened. Now when I think about Obi Wan, his face is the one I see. He was so perfect in that role. I also don't think I am alone in the sentiment.

[Nerovar]

Good bye Star Wars. You will be missed.

[McNeil]

Meh. I wouldn't mind to see a whole Star Wars movie that is centered around the Sith, maybe from Darth Vaders POV or some other badass Sith character. At least try something new instead of trying to milk old material... which is basically what The Force Awakens is mostly made off. Obi-Wan had his time to show off in the prequels and A New Hope and there's little that they can show more, unlike Darth vader who is mostly making small appearances until the ending of episode 5 and 6.

Would love to see a DS focused movie where they win.
