Mini Series Official "Obi-Wan Kenobi" Series Discussion Thread (Spoilers Allowed)

LETS GO! Seeing Ewan reprise the role as Obi-Wan is going to be AWESOME!

 

Jordan Maison (the writer of the article that's "confirming" Ewan being casted) is almost always either wrong or making stuff up regarding Star Wars rumors. I don't believe this at all

 

he's mostly right.

 

If Kenobi is happening, I'd love for Obi-Wan to make a visit to Alderaan at some point to check in on the Organas. Young Leia only knows him as "Uncle Ben," a good family friend, and only later discovers that Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ben are one and the same.

It always felt weird that she'd name her kid after Ben if she never really knew him. so it'd be cool if they added a little more weight to that reasoning.

 

Him signing on would be a good start.

 

Him and Bail were buddies, so why not. tough he has to disguise himself.

 

If True. Who could that be?

 

I would think he's bound to reappear at some point since he dubbed over James Arnold Taylor in TFA during the Rey Force vision . I think they spliced in Alec Guinness's voice too. I don't really see them using a CGI Obi Wan Kenobi like they did Tarkin in RO, hope not anyway,lol.

Kenobi and Maul should share the big screen together again, the Twin Suns of the PT.

 

Kenobi an Maul hasen't seen each other for a long time, unless they appear in different scenes and never see each other, that could work.

 

most likley Maul, Vader might appear in a cameo.

 

The mechanical costar makes me wonder if they might re-contextualize Maul's excitement finding out Obi-Wan was alive in Rebels. It's not necessarily required that they never met in between, but that the circumstances he last saw Obi-Wan led him to believe he died. Could even have something to do with how he wound up on Malachor. At least I don't think I recall anything contradicting that possibility.

 

Would there be a way to get around the idea of Maul meeting Obi Wan again but still linking up with Rebels? best way would be to get Obi Wan off Tatooine i guess. and then you could have them meet without Maul knowing where Obi Wan was staying. also would mean ending the show in a way that would link up with Rebels and Mauls fury to find him and not knowing if he lived.

As really when you look at Mauls current situation in Solo. its far different to the Maul in Rebels where he doesn't have Crimson Dawn and basically now just wants revenge.

 

nah i like it better if his hatred and revenge for both Kenobi and Palpatine drove the empire to drve torwards Malachor.

 

A Vader cameo has already proven very beneficial to a SW film...why not do it again?

 

10 millions views easy. Vader killing sand people.

 

So which is it? This can hardly be a purely subjective thing either he's more right than wrong or wrong than right which also depends on the strength of what his conviction is.

Here he says:

Today’s report won’t likely come as a surprise to many people, but it is nice to hear. Rumors of an Obi-Wan Kenobi related project have been circulating since Disney bought Lucasfilm back in 2013. While it seemed to have started life as a standalone film, recent reports are that we’ll see Obi-Wan come back as a Disney+ series…Which is what I’ve heard as well.

So what’s new? According to two separate sources, I’ve heard that Ewan McGregor has actually put pen to paper and inked a contract to return as the iconic Jedi Master. I heard word of this recently, but I was sitting on it until, out of the blue, a second source reached out to me (I hadn’t gone digging on this one) saying the exact same thing.

As reports go it's all reasonable sounding. Might be complete rubbish of course but there is not much question that various movie projects were being tossed around. It's also entirely reasonable that if Solo had not pulled the old el floppo that a Obi-Wan movie could very well have been in the 2020 or 2021 position. Instead projects were cancelled (Boba Fett) or shelved to be rethought into Disney+ series.

An Obi-Wan series with EM as an idea is an all-round winner. I think it'd have done very well as a movie but the original spin-offs were concentrated on Solo, Fett and Death Star plans. Two of which got made, one of which never really made much sense to make.

If they had done Obi-Wan over Solo then I think things are very different right now. I'd say it'd easily be 700 million plus worldwide. That alone put's it hundreds of millions ahead of Solo.

Well that is a whole other subject. Why not do a entire Vader movie? Of course if the planned Obi-Wan movie had Vader in it like Rogue One with 2 or more scenes or even some parallel story track then not doing it as a movie becomes stranger. A Force-less one save a surprise Maul cameo was always a perplexing choice.

 

I think D23 will let us know for sure if this is just a rumor...unless they plan to hold onto the news until the next SW Celebration.

 

My money is on the Jabba mechanical Puppet.

 

More of my beloved Obi-Wan? Played (and directed?) by the wonderful Ewan McGregor?





Good, God, let this be true. Ever since the sale of Lucasfilm, there hasn't been a SW project I've hoped for more than this.

So much potential there.

 

Fanthatracks mentions a certain ''mechanical co-star''... Maul? Ray Park has hinted at more Maul stuff but it was unknown if he was referring to TCW S7 or something else.
