    It's essentially the same thing, yeah. He also appeared to Ahsoka in the Lothal temple.

    But then...in the last moment Owen Lars makes the "kill shot" to save both of them from the agent, and as the Jedi Master tries to thank him, he tells Obi, "I promised I'd protect Luke. That includes you. Now, you stay away from my family. "

    one of those movies that will be so great if it happens, especially with Ewan mcgregor. But i wonder what the story will be like? Secret assassination attempts on Vader and emperor, Obi-vigilante-kenobi, love story...options are many

    If they ask Ewan about this movie, he will give the stock answer about how he's willing to do it, but won't answer otherwise.

    For the movie, I like the idea of fleshing out the Lars and ghosts component, and the idea of a threat to discovering Luke. Maybe he finds out and cuts the evil agents off from communication and has to defeat them before they get word to the Empire? They can intermix flashbacks of his earlier life as a young jedi, during the Clone Wars, etc, as well as how he is dealing with his experiences psychologically.

    I looked it up nothing that would require a beard.

    With Joel Edgerton becoming a household name especially on the heels of Bright, letting him and Ewan play co-leads for a full film certainly doesn't seem farfetched as it would have been back in 2002 when Joel was a nobody.

    I was just going to post about this. It seems coincidental timing to start growing the beard and hair out, but then again, it may not be proof of anything. I did see some people speculating a role as Obi-Wan's ghost in IX also, but it seemed more speculation than anything.

    Glad he won the GG for Fargo (I tuned in as GdT won for Best Director - YAY! and then promptly buggered off.

    As far as Obi-Wan...bring it.

    Obi-Wan is steering a vehicle ferociously, while his co-pilot is talking on a comlink and reaching for a drink. Since they're both standing, this could be some sort of parcel delivery speeder, or perhaps a garbage barge. Or, maybe they're in a skiff rally.

    This probably means nothing and certainly is irrelevant in shooting terms (since that isn`t until next year) but he looks extremely Obi-Wan-ish.

    Now probably he`s doing some movie that needs that look but whatever.

    Episode 9 Kenobi cameo.
    Definitely.

    That would be essential for them to keep Obi-Wan signature Soresu/Ataru form. I hope they wont jump off it to some dark age broadsword style combat for him in line with ST. Let it stay consistent. I gues he wont be that old in-movie to do some professional spinning and twirling.

    What i notice when people talk about the Obi Wan spin off is that people anxiously comment on him being too young or whatever and the only way i can see that being an issue is if they Rogue One it and have it set within a few years of Episode 4

    And when you have 20 years worth of time to explore why jump ahead that far? you could set it 5 years after episode 3 if you liked? 10 maybe? and you don't have to push to much age on Ewan.

    Exactly. My guess is tags it will be set within 10 years of RotS possibly within 5.

    I actually think 5 years would be better. It keeps it away from when we’d expect him to look more likes Guinness, and Obi-Wan might be a little more obviously traumatized from the events of RotS and ill-adjusted to this drastically new lifestyle he’s been forced into. It makes for more interesting internal conflict and a more compelling character.

    Recently, I've been hearing many are hoping that a hypothetical Kenobi film will see our veteran Jedi leave Tatooine, and go off-planet.

    I don't think this is necessary, both from a story telling perspective, and from an in-universe perspective. I think you can develop a very compelling story of Kenobi on Tatooine during the Dark Times between the first two trilogies. I feel that this also could very will serve as the first example of a 'different' Star Wars film, similar to how Logan served as a compelling, and different, Marvel film. Remember, when Lucasfilm first announced the series of 'anthology' films, they emphasized how they'd be able to push the boundaries of SW, and explore different genres.

    Solitude. Agony. Regret. A sense of duty. Helplessness. Remorse. I mean, you've got a character study here that just writes itself. With McGregor, and even Edgerton, I think you could put together a really unique SW film.

    Make it so, Lucasfilm. Please. :cool:
