An Obi-Wan Kenobi Star Wars Story is apparently in the works.
What might that look like?
This article comes fromDen of Geek UK.
When Alec Guinness first portrayed Obi-Wan Kenobi, the cinematic landscape was enjoying a more civilized age.
A film was a film, and if it went well, you might make another one.
But now, its all about plotting out sequels and spinoffs years ahead of the fact.
And thats literally all we know.
Its not clear yet if Ewan McGregor will reprise the role (he has to, right?
), or when the movie will be released.
When would it be set?
An animated Obi-Wan showed up inRebelslast year for a scene set roughly two years beforeA New Hope.
Some canonical comics have also explored Obi-Wans time on Tatooine.
What would the plot entail?
But that storyline was wrapped up inRebels, which has left me scratching my head a bit.
What would the plot be in a movie set during Obi-Wans tenure on Tatooine?
Obi-Wans heroics in this movie will have to take place under the radar, then.
Perhaps theyll come up with a smaller scale story for Obi-Wan to get involved in.
Obi-Wan could become something of a reluctant gunslinger, quietly protecting small communities from scum and villainy.
What would the tone be like?
The cantina music might have been jaunty during this era, but the public spirit was anything but.
A greater evil could come for these people if he draws attention to the area.
Who would the villains be?
There are a couple of problems with this, though.
And he definitely couldnt kill or dethrone the slug.
Alternatively, they could put Obi-Wan up against a new face.
Maybe someone one wants to take over the lucrative moisture farming industry?
That sounds exciting, right?
A new baddie would probably be best, then.
Who could cameo?
A Boba Fett cameo could be particularly interesting, given Obi-Wans history with his old man.
And we know from the Original Trilogy that both Obi-Wan and Yoda pick up this ability at some point.
Maybe they could reminisce about their awesomeEpisode Ihairdos.
Who is Stephen Daldry?
Thanks toBilly Elliot, though, Daldry does have experience with backflips.
With the right script, it could be something really special.
