KK's been giving the creatives a wide berth and didn't want to announce and begin scripting an Obi Wan film that wouldn't have continuity or handcuff the writers of VIII and IX.

With Maul's death in Rebels at the hand of Obi Wan, along with the completion of the new trilogy, Lucasfilm now has a roadmap in which to create an amazing film (or films) featuring Obi Wan and presumably, Yoda, with Bail Organa and even Boba Fett as side characters.

Oh yeah. Awesome this will be.
