He's a Tony winning director that has also been Oscar nominated. Since he's a Stage director, I'd expect excellent performances by the cast.

This is probably the best choice so far in the SWU, at least in terms of a director and way above Trevorrow and Lord & Miller.

From what I've been told, (which could always change, of course) this will be an off-world adventure for Obi Wan.

He wasn't just sitting around for 20 years, watching over Luke.

booooooooo

this is an opportunity for a real character piece

wonder if we can get some Liam Neeson action

I guess maybe I'm in the minority but I'm tired of Tatooine and desert planets.

Opening up the Star Wars Galaxy was one of the greatest parts of Rogue One.

I'd love to see a sequence with Obi Wan on Jedha, 20 years prior to the events of R1.

Plus, more worlds, more creatures = more action figures = more revenue.

I'd certainly be down for that but all we heard was his voice after he died, so bringing him in as a Force Ghost might be weird, especially considering that he wasn't shown in ROTJ.

Why does everyone have such a hard on for McGregor? He sucked in Fargo and the Obi Wan character was a bore, with no personality, in the prequels.

IMO - the idea of these character based prequels is a bad one. There's so much opportunity to branch out with compelling new characters but I guess that's too much of a challenge or too risky to attempt. It smacks as lazy to me.

WHAT? He was the best part of the prequels. The only actor that really sold his part.

Yes, showing his slow transformation into a hermit would be great.

Please. No more Star Wars shit. One of the biggest artistic failures known to man that people some how like.

He did a nice imitation of Alec Guinness. That's all I'll give him. The writing sucked so that didn't help him. But he was a BORING character.

Plus, there'll be no impending doom in any of character based prequels. We all know they survive whatever adventure they're put on.
BORING. LAZY.

:rolleyes:

That's absurd

Joel Edgerton recently stated that he'd like to return as Owen Lars.

Since Episode 2, I've had the notion that the Stormtroopers and Vader killed and burned the bodies of Owen and Buru in Episode IV because he felt them responsible for the death of his mother.

It'll be curious to see if Owen returns.

How so? I've given my reasons...

Your Star Wars takes are absolute shit
