    Sorry, still makes no sense in context.

    Yoda: "He is reckless..."

    Ben: "So was I, when you first trained me."


    Did you see the age of the kids in Yoda's classroom? Either Yoda is an idiot in that exchange, or Ben is.

    At some point Obi wan HAS to learn about what happened to Anakin. He knows he left him behind on Mustafar but he has no idea he's been turned into a half machine now Sith lord now. The question is, does that revelation occur in a meeting or does Obi Wan leave Tattoine at some point and has a brief brush with Vader where they dont actually meet? It is an interesting story still that needs clarification.

    Lol Dude come on! Can you at least quote it properly!

    "Obi-Wan Kenobi: So was I, if you remember."


    That's the proper quote which makes total sense with what we know about how Jedi where trained in the waning days of The Republic.

    I just don't see what this movie could be about since now that Maul is dead and also Obi Wan should never leave Tatooine

    I don't know what WILL happen but I can think of plenty of possibilities both on and off Tatooine. I wouldn't be opposed to having Temeura Morrison as a clone (perhaps Cody) in some capacity either as an ally or adversary for example. Maybe some clash with the Hutts which have already been alluded to in the comic books.

    The clash with the Hutts was Obi Wan making sure the Hutts did not collect a tax on the Lars family. However I do like your idea with a Clone and Obi Wan.

    Yeah I would love for TM to have some type of role but I honestly doubt something like that will happen. It would be incredibly cool to have Obi-Wan fight alongside a clone one final time.

    But what about it isn't already clear? Obi-Wan saw the recordings. He knows Palpatine named Anakin Vader. They fought, and he left. And doubtless he's heard about the Empire's enforcer, a guy named Vader running around wielding a Jedi's weapon. It's a revelation that may happen somewhere in those 20 years, but making it part of a film makes it a reveal that's totally meaningless to an audience. We already know all of that. We won't feel for Obi-Wan in that moment. People will just say "What? Didn't he already know that?"

    I'd like a story that seriously risks Obi-Wan's anonymity, but of course he manages to stay undetected.

    Oh for christ's sake, what's the difference? He was a little kid. Every little human kid is reckless. Luke isn't a kid. Why is Ben even bringing it up if he isn't an idiot. Unless Ben is friggin dumb, it's a continuity error based on the fact that in 1978 or 1979, when this dialogue was written (not when the film showed, but when it was written) there is no doubt that Yoda was meant at that time to be Ben's teacher. Certain individuals can retcon all they want, but the dialogue is squirly, like it or not. Geeze.

    I'm sorry i offended people's sacred cows.

    I would love to see Kenobi fight some Krayt Dragon and maybe somehow protect Luke and his whereabouts after some villain has found out where the little guy is.

    Maybe he has to travel off world a bit too and that's how he knows the cantina at Mos Eisley has most of the best star pilots in the galaxy and can get a little rough?

    I'm going to guess that we see the tail end of Order 66, and the filmmakers are going to revive the "Jedi Hunter" character that was sketched for TFA before Kylo Ren materialized.

    Thanks for mentioning this, I am so out of the loop. That could be very interesting indeed. Play the suspense right and it could be golden. Mix it with a spaghetti western vibe and :)

    Let's just hope they make an official announcement soon - it's so weird to me that we have no official word on what's happening after IX at this point in time, considering how the release timelines were set out before.

    Nah, the Empire ain't sending Vader on wild goose chases now that most of the Jedi are dead. I'd consider this character something like a master bounty hunter that's built up a Jedi-hunting expertise.

    That's why they haven't announced that Stephen Daldry is directing a movie about Obi-wan Kenobi, he isn't, he's already been fired.

    A Ben "Obi Wan" Kenobi movie set after RotJ sounds like a baaad idea, but I have a good feeling about this!

    Scenes for this start automatically writing themselves in my head. In the end, going with Hitchcock, to get a good movie you need three things: a good script, a good script and a good script. Notwithstanding that, getting McGregor to take on his iconic role again would be a great asset.

    Apart from the obvious fan service scenes on Tatooine and some plot point explanations (e.g., Ben realizing Anakin is not really dead), this should probably be a kind of a very separate, stand alone and more grounded adventure story without the usual suspects, innit? :obiwan::qui::luke::vader: :emperor::storm:

    Well, the Ewan McGregor announcement doesn't seem to have happened, though that doesn't mean much. I personally want him back purely out of sentiment, but I would prefer a younger actor to portray Obi Wan if the movie takes place before ROTS, however annoying that would be. I admit that the III-IV era seems to be limited in its expansion capabilities, but there is still room for Obi Wan to leave Tatooine if only briefly, like in Last of the Jedi. I'm not saying I want it solely based on that series (though that would be awesome, hence my username), but some adventure like that would be cool to see Obi Wan in, with McGregor in the role.

    It's just too early.
    We aren't supposed to know about this movie yet.
    Not official announcements by anyone about anything yet.
