Obi Wan Kenobie series coming

[sprytel]

I would also like to see a Han Solo Disney TV series. But they would have to get a better Actor than Alden Ehrenreich...because he just doesn't have any charisma. They guy is a complete dud.

Sebastian Stan bears an uncanny resemblance to a younger Mark Hamill, and he's already on Disney's payroll....

Also, he's aware of this "Fan casting" and is flattered buy it and a little intrigued. I could see this...he has the acting chops and likeable personality to pull this off.

And in the tradition of Disney movies can Broadway be far behind? Watch for Vader! coming to the Wintergarden Theater in Fall 2027.

Stan has also already been rumored to play a young Luke

It will be a day long remembered, you have not seen the end of Kenobi.....

It happened for Solo...it happened for Trek. Twice actually. Are we ok with recasting roles of classic characters to younger actors? I dont want to see Luk Skywalker teen moisture farmer ..but a Han Solo movie series would be ok with me.

Yes, Splinter was planned as a low budget sequel that would have reused many props.

Splinter is still the only sequel that is in true perfect canon to SW. So many plot points got retconned during the production of Empire. Like changing Darth Vader to Anakin Skywalker. Obi Wan didn't lie to Luke from any point of view. Darth Vader did murder Anakin and Luke was actually supposed to meet Anakin's ghost, not Obi Wan's, on Bog world. Leia and Luke were also NOT siblings in SW.

I personally think Empire ruined Star Wars. When the movie came out, I was like, "What the hell is this?" I thought the movie was okay, but it wasn't anything like Splinter. I think the entire franchise would have been better if they went the Mind's Eye story.

always wondered why Lucas redid al of that Anakin stuff. Maybe he saw a Vader face turn at the end the only way for Luke to survive the two on one Emperor Vader gang up. And he had to come up with a good reason for Vader's change of heart, so sonny boy was the solution.

Before Empire, Splinter was canon. It was originally planned as the official sequel to SW.

actually, I think it was only planned as an inexpensive sequel, should Star Wars not do well at the box office. otherwise Empire or what would become Empire, was the plan

I’m all for Ewan McGregor reprising his Obi-Wan Kenobi role, great news.

[Werewolf]

I know it was never considered canonical

I know it was never considered canonical but wouldn't it be fun to have a Splinter of the Mind's Eye Made for TV movie on the Dischan? Recast with younger actors...invite Mark for a cameo...make it a fun Friday night movie.

I'd would have preferred a Solo series. I wanted something like that since reading Han Solo at Star's End when I was a kid. There's just so much more story wise to mine with Han and Chewie's adventures in the classic trilogy era.
