The prequels sucked because of George Lucas and Hayden Christensen.
NOT because of Ewan McGregor. They're ALREADY making a film set between III and IV, so there's no reason not to make others.

While I actually think Hayden is a decent actor when his director isn't a buffoon, you can't do that because there's a stigma associated with him now. In fact, he hasn't gotten ANY work worth spit since Revenge of the Sith. Kinda sad.

That said, he's a B movie star and while that might sound derogatory, one could do worse than star in the occasional $10-20 million dollar film. |

Speaking of Jake Lloyd, it appears he tried to relive his Pod Racing days: http://m.tmz.com/#Article/2015/06/21...le-all-the-way Jake Lloyd, the actor who played the young Anakin Skywalker in "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace," was arrested, TMZ has learned, after an insane car chase that ended when Jake plowed into some trees. Cops say Lloyd was driving in Charleston, South Carolina, when Sheriff's deputies began pursuing him. The chase was underway and it went on for miles, into another county. Deputies say Jake began passing cars on the double yellow line and began driving recklessly, at high speeds. Cops say eventually Jake lost control of his car, which ran off the road, through a fence and into a wooded area where it struck several trees. The 26-year-old who also starred in "Jingle All the Way" was arrested for reckless driving, failure to stop, resisting arrest and driving without a license. He's currently in custody.

It wouldn't make sense for them to spend the time or money on producing movies based on characters where the audience has no routing cause due to the awareness of their ultimate demise.
Spoiler!
George Lucas splooged his wad all over the Anakin vs. Obi-Wan battle in 'Revenge of the Sith' while the audience knew the outcome. That battle signified what we already knew. There was no purpose for these movies. We'd wished away our lives waiting for something we already knew was going to happen. After wading through Jar Jar, countless trade treaty talks, yoda flipping around, the million man light saber march in a roman Colosseum and midichlorians we were left with nothing but what Obi-Wan had eluded to in "A New Hope". Disney's first venture into Star Wars is looking to right the ship and give people something to look forward to. The Anthologies should do the same. Rogue One makes sense. Obi-Wan doesn't.

Well, James Horner won't be scoring any Star Wars films. He died tonight in a small engine plane crash.

Ewan was one of the few bright spots, and a fantastic actor.
I give green light.

(Since we are all bashing on the prequels right now) If I were to try and explain how bad the prequels were to someone who had never seen them, all they need to know is Natalie Portman was in them, and she was terrible. The writing was so bad, she couldn't even make it work. How Ewan was able to turn in his performance is beyond me. I would be all over an Obi Wan movie. Especially one set shortly after the fall of the republic and rise of the empire.

Really great Star Wars comic. Wish it was translated but you don't need it.
