News Obi-Wan Kenobi series premiering on May 27

[Disco]

It's Alec!

Indeed, my apologies.

 

[fireproof78]

***Hands over ears*** No no no, Alex Guinness is still my Obi- Wan and surely the one everyone thinks off.

Please allow me to live in denial as an old man.

Did someone steal your OT VHS?

That's how I get by.

Someone break the news to McGregor that they are calling it 'The Complete Series'.

They could still bring Ewan McGregor back for another season, and just give it a different title. That they can still say this was a one and done, and now they're doing a new show.

Or they could just do a movie which would make a lot more money for disney.

Or they could just do a movie which would make a lot more money for disney.

Not really a guarantee given the precarious state the movie industry is in at the moment. Hell, even the once guaranteed to be a blockbuster MCU has now had a movie which ended up being a financial disappointment.

 

[Set Harth]

What kind of plot would they have left for a movie?

They wouldn't have him fight Vader again, would they? Would it end up being like Dooku in the Clone Wars?

 

[fireproof78]

A Nightsister luring Jedi survivors to augment her power. Obi-Wan is torn by his sense of duty to Luke and rebuilding the Order.

 

[Tosk]

Honestly, I'd be down for a tale that didn't feature him fighting another Force user. But I concede that might not work for the majority.

 

[Campe]

I think they would be hard pressed to find a reason for Obi-Wan to leave Tatooine a third time. (The series and ANH being the other two.) I think if they did another story, it would need to be Tatooine based.

 

[Saul]

What kind of plot would they have left for a movie?

Something involving Maul?

 

[Set Harth]

That seems highly unlikely given Rebels.

 

[CorporalCaptain]

I think, "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope!" needs a little more backstory to establish why Leia thinks he's her only hope.

 

[Saul]

That seems highly unlikely given Rebels.

It was the original plan for this series.

 

[JD]

It would probably have to be another threat to either Luke or Leia, I can't really see anything else driving him to take action again.

 

[Ithekro]

Training with Qui-Gon. Lessons presented via flashbacks to the audience (Clone Wars. Days training Padawan Anakin. Days as a Padawan with Qui-Gon. On the run with Satine on Mandalore)
Saving Luke from Tuskan Raiders or the Sarlacc Pit after he crashes his speeder?
Maybe have a final lesson that ends with the events of Rebels presented from Obi-wan's point of view.
But most of the show is flashbacks or stories with the training as the framing device.

It was the original plan for this series.

Who said that?

 

[Set Harth]

Obi-Wan and A'Sharad Hett chasing each other around for two hours.

 

[Saul]

Who said that?

It was heavily rumored. It changed when filoni and favreau told debora chow to "go bigger".

Debora says Maul was not part of the series, at least not when she was involved

 

[Set Harth]

I want to say, of course the implication of Twin Suns is that they hadn't met since TCW.

(but then we thought the same thing about Vader, and look how that turned out.)

but seriously... it is the events of Rebels which send Maul to Tatooine in the first place, so...
