Stand Alone Obi Wan Movie Announced!!!
**** YES!!!!

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hea..._source=Direct

'Star Wars' Obi-Wan Kenobi Film in the Works (Exclusive)

Oscar-nominated filmmaker Stephen Daldry is in early talks for the film, which would center on the Jedi master who has been played by both Alec Guinness and Ewan McGregor.
Stephen Daldry is Star Wars’ newest hope.

The Oscar-nominated director behind Billy Elliot and The Hours is in early talks to direct a Star Wars stand-alone movie centering on Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Sources say talks are at the earliest of stages and that the project has no script. If a deal makes, Daldry would oversee the development and writing with Lucasfilm brass. It's not known at this stage if Ewan McGregor will reprise his role. The Obi-Wan Kenobi stand-alone is one of several projects being developed by Lucasfilm and Disney that fall outside the trilogies telling the saga of the Skywalker family. A Han Solo movie is now in the final stages of shooting under new director Ron Howard and Lucasfilm is also looking at movies featuring Yoda and bounty hunter Boba Fett, among others.

In the original Star Wars trilogy, Kenobi was at first a desert-dwelling and war-weary hermit who later proved to be a wise and powerful warrior, brandishing a light saber. He was briefly a mentor to a young Luke before being cut down by Darth Vader, his former pupil. Alec Guinness played Kenobi, garnering him an Oscar nomination to boot. The character got star treatment in the George Lucas-directed prequels which told the origin of Vader and his betrayal of Kenobi and the Jedis. McGregor has said he would be open to playing the character again. Sources stress, however, that since there is no script, no actor is attached.

http://variety.com/2017/film/news/ob...ry-1202531346/

“Rogue One” was the first of the standalones, and Disney is currently shooting an untitled origin tale of beloved smuggler Han Solo. Some of the other standalones in development include a Jabba the Hutt story and a Boba Fett movie.

Daldry hails from the theater world and made his feature debut with Billy Elliot, which netted him his first directing Oscar nomination. He followed that up with searing dramas The Hours and The Reader, which also netted him directing nominations.

He most recently directed episodes of Netflix’s period drama The Crown, which put him into play in this Emmy season.

He is repped by CAA.

You guys can slam Lucas for screenwriting and directing but the guy is an absolute visionary that changed the entire world of cinema.
Completely agreed.

The prequels were still refried ass, however.

While I don't necessarily disagree, Lucas totally redeemed himself with the Clone Wars animated series, which IMO, is freaking awesome.

It's everything the prequels should have been.

Also agreed, and it demonstrates the wealth of potential in Disney expanding the SW universe.

The cool thing is that Lucas passed on his knowledge of the SWU to Dave Filoni, who's taken the ball and run.

But if Lucas had the prescience to pass the Star Wars torch to KK back in the late 90's...

They are awesome because he wasn't writing and directing everything...

He mapped out the entire storyline and worked closely with Dave Filoni, who credits Lucas for everything, constantly.

Lucas also had screenwriting and dialogue assistance on the prequels but his direction of the actors, particularly in Episode II, was poor.

Remove Jar Jar from Episode I and it's pretty badass and still features the best lightsaber fight in the series.

I want them to do a TV series or movie series based off of the "Jedi Apprentice" book series which revolved around the adventures of Qui-Gon Jin and Obi-Wan when Obi-Wan was just a wee little apprentice.

I absolutely LOVED this series growing up. A TV series based on these books would be incredible, if done correctly.

Same here. Even if it's in the form of an animated series, I'd still watch it.

Nice. I'm down for an Obi Wan film . Wonder if Ewan will be picked to play him again. I wouldn't be against that at all.

Why and how should Lucasfilm spend $200-$300 million on a movie with unknown characters?

Why? Because there is a really great universe to explore and I'm sure not everything that could possibly happen in it has to happen to this one family and their immediate associates.

How? With the megabillions that they already have.
