No stated confirmation by Lucasfilm here, even though websites are erroneously saying so.

Obi-Wan Kenobi movie in pre-production, filming scheduled for Spring 2019

"Is it in their nature to make us wait this long?"

Update on the Obi-Wan movie, via TMZ (who has been proven to get leaks from Star Wars movies correct in the past): http://m.tmz.com/#2018/05/17/obi-wan-ke ... roduction/

Royalguard96 - looks like I was onto something.

Are...you...KATHY????

Looks like Obi-Wan movie ain’t dead yet: https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Culture/mult ... d=56057987

It may still be dead or even nonexistent. The only reality that I glean from the new article is that more than one Lucasfilm employee wants the public to think that everything is proceeding the same as before Solo. That could be today's truth from their vantage point, but it may not be the ultimate truth which will reign from Disney.

"We shall be patient" says Qui-gon. That's all we can do.

Well said.

I thought the headline "ON HOLD" seemed a bit manipulative and click-baity. They probably are focusing more on Ep.9 because that's what comes out next.
It's a year and a half out, so impatient folks are apt to view that as "on hold," "cancelled" or whatever.

The status on the future Star Wars films, according to the Hollywood Reporter: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat- ... nt-1122655

Obi-Wan Movie may be saved for a potential future debut on Disney’s upcoming yet-to-be titled streaming service: https://theplaylist.net/lucasfilm-obi-w ... -20180622/.

Everyone loves Ewan. I get it. But I've yet to read a compelling case for what would comprise an Obi-Wan standalone film set between ROTS and ANH that's not just the aging bastard meditating in his hut, mentoring Luke in some capacity or dealing with sand people and locals. There'd have to be some serious off-Tatooine drama to make this feel like a Star Wars film and not some weirdly arthouse, one-note entry. But who knows? Maybe all these Ewanophiles would eat that up.

Brilliant!

I'm here all night.

Literally. Once you start down the MF memory path, forever will it dominate your early AM hours.

Almost everyone is reporting that: "Ewan McGregor Has Signed for Obi-Wan Kenobi Series on Disney+"

Over at "Fanatha Tracks," there an article stating that:


Given the prevalence of the story, I would be surprised if there is not a confirmation of Obi-wan, the TV show at D23 next week.

Is the series going to be a young Obi-wan show with Ewan paying the role of Old Ben a la "Old Indy" in The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles? Or, will it be Clone Wars era with age-reversing CG? Or, will it be Ben sitting around his hovel philosophizing with ephemeral Qui-gon and periodically snooping on young Luke? Or, will it shift in time a be all three?
