Obi Wan Kenobie series coming

[Hedji]

It will likely be good. But...

I am sad to see Star Wars do the reverse of Star Trek, and go from Cinema to Television.

Star Wars television, even when good (Clone Wars) is a bit diluted. Stakes seem lower. Pace seems slower. I hope Disney+ can change my mind, but I think Star Wars belongs on the Silver Screen. And by most accounts, Obi-Wan: A Star War Story, would've been a theatrical film, had the idiotic Star Wars fanbase not cut off its nose to spite its face complaining about the Last Jedi.

I would agree that McGregor's Obi Wan was actually a decent performance.

[CrimsonGhost]

Agreed. He was the only actor able to rise above the stiff dialog and robotic direction. I don't hate the prequels like some, but even great actors like Natalie Portman and Terrence Stamp are really wooden in those films.

I’m one of those people. Well, “hate” is too much, but I find them unwatchable, but I like McGregor.

I thought Ewan McGregor's Obi Wan was the best part the prequels. I'm sure the series will be a lot of fun.

I’m curious about this. I really like McGreggor (he was amazing in the third season of Fargo) but found him to be like a block of wood in the prequels, but then so was everyone else so I have to point at the direction as the problem.

However... a new director, maybe some really strong character writing (because we already know where the story is going) might be great. I’m kind of imagining a Kung Fu type thing, I don’t know.

I’m not getting the app tho so I’ll have to bootleg it to find out.

Looking forward to this, but I still long for a meaningful postquel. All these dudes are dead.

D23 made it official, Obi-Wan series to be on Disney Plus!

YES!!

"The long-rumored Obi-Wan Kenobi series at Disney+ is finally official. The series was confirmed today at the D23 Expo when Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy invited Star Wars prequel trilogy star Ewan McGregor to the stage and confirmed the series will soon begin filming.
“We have all the scripts written we’re ready to start shooting next year,” said Kennedy, according to Variety."

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

Agreed. The prequels are something I prefer to pretend do not exist. However, Ewan McGregor's role as Obi-Wan was excellent. It was just the rest of the crap that was terrible. I would definitely check this series out. Obi-Wan has plenty of back story that could be told. And if McGregor is involved, that would be excellent.

[The Bat]

I got a good feeling about this...

[Earth 2 Chris]

We will probably get confirmation at D23 next week.

An Obi-Wan Kenobi online series will be a lot of fun!

I think Variety confirmed it was going to be made, but maybe they will have a series description and official Disney announcement soon.

That's something that movie rumors were around since 2012.

It's looking like an Obi Wan Disney streaming series might be on!!
