    Woah, I just put one of those into circulation.

    Look, Ma, I created a rumor!

    I could say Vitiate was going to appear as Obi Wan’s ancestor and that would technically speaking be a rumor. Although no one would think it was true.

    Don't try to frighten us with your lexicologist's ways, Jedi Knight Fett.

    Suddenly the delay isn't a big deal as everything else (incl. TV series) are getting pushed back.

    Yeah, the global economy and political order is in the midst of a potentially massive realignment as a result of this COVID-19 crisis. A short delay of a TV show doesn’t mean squat anymore...

    I figure a lot will be pushed back. As far as Obi-Wan goes I just watched ANH last night and thought oh this is going to be awesome since there's so much to work with.

    Think of it like Harrison Ford breaking a leg. Gives the writers more time to figure stuff out.

    Wasn't the goal to make the writing better?

    Kill me.

    If this is the "hope" at the end of the setback, just kill me.

    Not many writing credits to his name. Just four and two of them haven’t been released yet. Still what he does have doesn’t inspire much confidence. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt though.

    I don't see anything hopeful about Joby Harold coming in. He's the definition of a hack.

    I would like to know who picked him. They certainly don't seem to care about the quality of writing for Kenobi.

    I'll see how this shakes out. Not really worth the mental effort to freak out about this for months on end.

    What, his qualification as "White Guy With Super Long Forehead" doesn't give you confidence?

    His films Awake and King Arthur: Legend of the Sword are both dumpster fires. The second is one of the worst King Arthur takes I've seen my entire life -- King Arthur is hard to mess up -- and its Rotten Tomato score is 31%.

    His first film, Awake, which he wrote and directed, received a 24%.

    I don't see a single positive thing about this guy except that he somehow has enough connections to keep working in Hollywood.

    I'm a pretty glass-half-full Star Wars fan, but I can't see the positive on this one.

    ok soo i don't know who this guy is, but i saw his arthur movie and that was meh, and if he has barely any writing cred, then why choose him to help write. I don't want to put blame but who ever chose him ****ed up.

    I despised that new King Arthur film. However, I despise most things made by Guy Ritchie, as I believe his films to be horrible (with the exception of a couple here and there).

    I know Dave Filoni is spreading pretty thin at the moment with the various things in production, making him an unlikely supervising director / on-and-off writer, so why not go back to Genndy Tartakovsky, who not only made the brilliant Clone Wars Micro Series, but proved he can tell the gripping story of a warrior on the run, Samurai Jack.

    I mean, we’re pretty much getting that with the Mandalorian.

    Does Genndy have any live action creds? I'd love to see him return to the franchise though maybe that would be better for an animated series than something looked Kenobi. There is also Greg Weisman to consider for something like that.

    2022 for a six-part series? COULD it be the 2022 movie after all?

    Nah, i bet it still a show, and Kenobi might has more work for it then Cassian, it's a mini series and it will most likley feel like amovie. 4-6 hour episodes.
