This is THE story I'd want told, above all others in the GFFA.

I never thought an "Obi-Wan in the desert with much regret" movie would be commercially viable. However, a limited event series would be perfect for this particular story. The nature of the story is quieter, more of a character study, and an 8-episode run on a streaming service would be a perfect fit.

Well, the reliable trades are now reporting on this, which means "it's happening".

I'm curious to see who will be involved on the scripts and the nature of the storylines.

Did Lucas layout Kenobi's full backstory for Disney? If so, will the show flesh-out or flashback to various points in the character's life? Could we get Yoda and youngling Obi-wan arcs as well as live action Clone Wars era stories (with cameos by Hayden Christensen)?

So much potential fun to be had.

The one storyline I would rather see as a standalone film. R1 or Solo could have worked as episodic series but how much action did Obi-Wan have on Tatooine?

Enough to conceive Rey ...?

...Which would make Rey about 40 years old in the sequel movies.

Oh yeah. Her mother then! We know Obi had at least one girlfriend in the (non-canon?) ObiWan book. Right?
