I love Obi Wan, so any movie with him is something I'll support.

Ridley_Prime
I'll take this over the Han Solo that isn't Harrison Ford film, that's for sure, especially if it has McGregor reprising Obi-Wan.

This

They should have done this INSTEAD of the Han Solo film.

Ares is right that they need to expand. That said, not gonna complain about this one.

BackFire
Awesome if McGregor reprises the role.

Honestly, like what? Star Wars relies heavily on recognition for its brand. You won't get a movie without at least something that was in the previous movies, I don't think. Even Rogue One, a movie that tried to be war film and to be somewhat tonally different, was still jam-packed with references/characters.

I don't mean to sound dismissive, I just don't know if there's much Disney are willing to do with SW that will still make money outside of the usual stuff.

Honestly though? McGregor as Kenobi again is something I would love to see.

StiltmanFTW
And Disney is willing to work with him, as he even had his small part in TFA.

The Star Wars brand is enough. Sure, a wholly original film likely isn't as "safe" as a Kenobi film, but as a fan rather than an investor that doesn't trouble me. Regardless, if done well, I think a KotOR film could make bucket loads.

I'm just glad this is being done..

I remember the Kenobi novel that was done which is now lumped into the Legends catagory, It was done like a Western.

NO. Now we have a RESISTANCE! Hope is long gone.

Much like the new Galactic Government being a "REPUBLIC". Can't have heros called REPUBLICANS in no Disney Movie.

One i would like to see is the one Guillermo Del Toro thought based on the criminal underworld

Lucasfilm take up his offer.

Not sure how true it is

but apparently there's also a Jabba the Hutt movie planned.

Ridley_Prime
From what I read a Jabba the Hutt spinoff was only considered, not planned. If that idea goes into the next phase though, then Star Wars will have already died from oversaturation and nostalgia pandering, at least where I'm concerned.

A crappy Han Solo film is one thing but if it gets succeeded by a better spinoff idea down the line then I can live with it. An Obi-Wan film? Acceptable, especially if McGregor's back... But Jabba the Hutt?

no expression

Kazenji
I'd be up for a Jabba the Hutt film as long as Guillermo Del Toro does it

back in 2015, He wanted to do a film with him about his rise throughout the criminal underworld.

Flyattractor
If Ewan MacGregor isn't avaliable I know the perfect actor to fill the role.

Darth Thor
I get what they're doing. First a spin off based on the most popular character in the OT, then the PT. Then most popular supporting character in both trilogies, and finally the most popular background character.

Makes sense. Milk everything.

Out of those mentioned I think Boba Fett would be the most different personally. We hardly see him in OT, and his film will likely explore the SW criminal underworld.

It might be for you and I, but I'm not so sure it is with Disney. KOTOR would work because it's chock-full of Jedi, I think. I just don't know if the universe has as much room to play with as Disney are willing to find out.

Why, because of the criminal underworld thing? Does have potential, but even then I think it could be more interestingly covered in a Boba Fett film. The Han Solo film never interested me to begin with, so can give you that, but Obi-Wan would garner interest depending on the kind of material a film for him covers.

Meh. As pointed out, Disney's eventually gonna milk just about every notable character or idea for the series in the end anyway...

Probably end up with a Max Rebo film the way things are going.

Now tell me you wouldn't see such a masterpiece (2 hours long, let's say) in the theaters at least 10 times.

so, this will be a collection of unrelated events in Obi Wan's life, like a bunch of short films?

Nah most likely it focuses on him vs Vader one more time.

Bashar Teg
i never complained about ep7 reeking of ep4 because i feel it was actually a very well executed semi-reboot. however i was also hoping they'd make at least one new story, removed from the main trilogy timeline and characters. how many 'member-flicks do they need to crank out before we can finally see some originality and creative exploration in star wars?

Meh. As pointed out, Disney's eventually gonna milk just about every notable character or idea for the series in the end anyway... That, the fact that the protagonist would be a non-English speaking alien, as well as a villainous character presumably. All of these are firsts for the franchise (a hero descending into villainy like Anakin doesn't count), and the conflict would naturally be much more down to earth and relatable. It would be like the Sopranos (cause Jabba's fat, you see) set in Star Wars as a movie.

This is far more interesting than a story about a character where we've already seen the important bits to it.

Eh, while I will argue that the choreography in general isn't bad (and is actually good in places), the fight between Ben and Vader is really, really bad. And I'm not talking about altering anything in the OT, as nobody's talking about editing ANH.

Do you really think a bloodthirsty animal like queeq would be merciful...? No. He would not. I've seen him breaking every bone of Galan's body for nothing and he did not even mention the Ben/Vader fight. Don't ask what happened to those who did.

StiltmanFTW
I loved that duel, btw.

Lord Queeq, please do not punish me.

Kazenji
The Ben & Vader fight from Episode 4?

it is a bad fight but you also have to take into account when it was made and etc.

-Pr-
The dialogue is fine. The context, the acting, the setting and the camera work are all fine. It's the choreography that isn't great.

TBH though, I really don't care how they do it. I just want another sick lightsaber fight with Kenobi in it. He was easily the best non-Maul performer in duels in the prequels imo.

AS for me, am excited, but I also really want Disney to bring us completely new/fresh SW material. Sauron never got his own ring back or his own body. Voldemort successfully did so. Voldemort also faced much stiffer competition since it was a world of wizards whereas in Lotr only a handful poses magical abilities. Sauron was impressive but Voldemort's reign over the wizarding world and fear he inspired in his own troops and the wizarding world is just on another level. You can't kill Voldemort by cutting off his ring finger. Let's not compare the two since we both know Voldemort is his superior.

It will be for sure. Disney's still a bit scared to go full on prequel era. But if they use Ewan in the OT era, then that would be a nice mix of both.

Also anyone think there's any chance Kenobi won't be fighting Vader again?

-Pr-
Wait, what? Sauron has a physical form in Middle Earth in both the books AND the movies. It's even referenced that he only has four fingers on his hand.

Sorry, I know that's off-topic...

But yes, Ewan as Kenobi set between 3 and 4 seems the most likely thing they'll do, I imagine.

No, in the movies, he dissipated after Isildur cut his fingers off. His Necromancer form was hardly physical, same with his later Eye form.

Saruman even comments on this in the FotR film - "Sauron has regained much of his former strength. He cannot yet take physical form, but his spirit has lost none of its potency."

Saruman was just wrong, then. Jackson even intended for Sauron to be there at the battle of the Black Gate, but made last minute changes. And I would argue that his Necromancer form was physical enough.

In the books, Denethor references it. Legolas does too. IIRC, the eye is a metaphor for his Palantir, not his actual physical form.

I know what Jackson intended, I've seen the appendices. Even if we take that into consideration, that's a lot of time between FotR and RotK ending. He cannot yet take physical form. In the movies, nothing contradicts Saruman's statement.

Angry spirit made out of black smoke... not very physical if you ask me stick out tongue

I seem to recall there was a statement in the books about Sauron having only four fingers, now that I think about it. Isildur was such a gentleman there... Jackson's Isildur wasn't satisfied with one finger laughing out loud

The books are pretty adamant about it, I realise. There's more than a few references, now that I think about it.

The movies... I'll grant you are murkier about it. Maybe Jackson when filming FOTR didn't intend to use a physical form for Sauron, but considering Saruman was evil, I'm not sure he wouldn't lie about it anyway. At the very least, I think that the Hobbit was almost a retcon of sorts. At Dol Guldur, we see his actual body several times, in the eye, and with the wraiths in front of him. And with how close we came to having him in ROTK, I'd tend to lean on the side of him having one, as I really don't put much stock in one line from Saruman.

I really don't think Disney gives a shit, tbh. I can see them coming up with something horribly convoluted just to make a movie out of it. They might end up doing an entire movie on Tatooine.

Darth Thor
Also Disney Canon has shown very little Kenobi in that time period. His appearance on Rebels was literally just an appearance.

The Star Wars comics with Ben have been few and far between, and they're mainly just Ben looking over Luke.


But yeah If/When Ben leaves Tatooine, they'll need to make a damn good reason for it.

They said in the appendices they wanted to focus on the evil presence aspect, felt everywhere in the Middle-earth, as that was what made Sauron so menacing.

Galadriel messed him up, perhaps he needed time to recover - again. Much shorter than when he has lost the One, obviously.

Some people didn't watch the films. It's clear he never reclaimed his physical body. Some people obviously cannot comprehend the Lotr films. Probably a Superman fan still upset over Batman's win.

No, I get that. I still think it was something of a retcon though. Assuming Saruman was right.

Hey, it'll either be Tuskens or Jabba, probably. Or some sort of Bounty Hunter. Maybe Vader? I don't know, unless at the end they make it seem like Kenobi dies.

lol, try harder Quan. Try not to be too bitter about me knowing LOTR better than you.

quanchi112
I have multiple quotes stating he wasn't strong enough to get his physical body back. Jackson didn't sync this up with the books and drastically altered Azog just for an example in the film. He didn't have a physical body in the hobbit, hell even the nine weren't even physical in nature in battle of the five armies until fellowship of the ring.

Sauron never reacquired his physical body. When characters say he hasn't that isn't dialogue meant to lie to the viewer. You're wrong and hilariously so with an obvious plot point.

I guess despite having a body he didn't feel it was important to do something. This all makes sense to you. This explains a lot. Odd.

You know, if you weren't such a massive ****, I might actually be willing to talk it out with you. But no, you just had to be... You.

You came in here beating your chest saying I was wrong. Sauron was unable to reacquire his body and despite Jackson initially having some kind of standoff between he and Aragorn it was later scrapped so he never quite mustered the strength to do so officially. Even if you think I am prick that shouldn't stop you from admitting you might be wrong. I have some Irish in me so I may forgive you. I also love the soap Irish Spring.

I wasn't calling you a prick. And I already admitted to Stilt that the movies were far murkier about it, but you had to be a **** about it.

I can be civil with the guy that hates everything I like (Stilt), but you can't help being the way you are. That isn't my fault.

Hey, it'll either be Tuskens or Jabba, probably. Or some sort of Bounty Hunter. Maybe Vader? I don't know, unless at the end they make it seem like Kenobi dies.




Looking at his appearance in Rebels, I think he's a bit too powerful to be dealing with Tuskens. I really don't see another choice except Vader for the big boss.

Kazenji
I'd rather not see Vader at all

I remember from the Kenobi novel (Which is now Legends)....They had the Tuskens and some settler's were trying to start a war with them.

They do not need Vader in this at all. D. Thor probably wants him in everything in this era.

I didn't say I "want" Vader. I just think it's inevitable.

They've done that with the comics as well, but don't see Disney having the balls to do something so small scale for the films.

D. Thor: need more Vader. Must have more Vader. Never enough Vader.

Goes back to bed under his Vader sheets.

Unless they wank Bounty Hunters like they like to.

Vader shouldn't be in this movie.

We meet again, at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but the learner. Now I am the master.

Darth Thor should get slapped hard enough to make him puke out his Mjolnir replica (yes, DT. I know you swallowed it. Gross af).

Shouldn't, no, but would you really be surprised if they did?

StiltmanFTW
Yes. I would.

I dare say Disney cares more about SW than Lucas did with his "Jar-Jar is the key to all of this" master plan.

I'm not sure "care" is the right word. I think they want the franchise to make as much money as possible, so will do whatever it takes.

I don't expect to see Vader in a Kenobi movie (or even the empire as an antagonist), I just wouldn't put it past them.

The wording can be worked around. But it's cute you think semantics and devotion to Canon will stop Disney cashing in.

Hulk will smash Thor.

Darth Thor
No he won't smash a depowered Thor. And wrong thread Stilt!
