But he was awful

This. Why can't I like it, is there are "like by date" on our posts? I'd hate to like expired posts...

 

[Anung Un Rama]

Here's what I'm going to hate. They're gonna come up with some old bullshit to explain why Kenobi aged so rapidly on Tatooine.

What happens in Mos Eisley, STAYS in Mos Eisley.

 

[HUGHPHUG]

I've been to Little Marlow in Bucks, it doesn't look like Tatooine

Anyone familiar with Star Wars lore know how often Obi Wan and Darth Hayden came into contact with each other between Revenge Of The Sith and A New Hope Springs Eternal?

Game of Thrones Alum Indira Varma Joins Ewan McGregor in OBI-WAN KENOBI

The Star Wars series centered on Obi-Wan Kenobi at Disney+ is adding to its cast. Game of Thrones and For Life veteran Indira Varma will star in the series opposite Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christiansen, who will reprise their roles as, respectively, Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his former pupil, now the Sith lord Darth Vader.

In keeping with the cone of silence surrounding the show, details about Varma's character aren't being released at the moment. The series is expected to fall in between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope in the Star Wars timeline.

John Wick: Chapter 3 and Underground producer Joby Harold is writing the show, having come aboard in April 2020 following a creative reset. The Mandalorian veteran Deborah Chow is set to direct.

Varma is a series regular on ABC's legal drama For Life, which wrapped its second season last week. She played Ellaria Sand on Game of Thrones; other credits include Amazon's Carnival Row and HBO's Rome.

The Obi-Wan series is one of several Star Wars projects in the works at Disney+, including a Cassian Andor series with Diego Luna reprising his Rogue One role, animated show The Bad Batch (which debuts in May) and live-action projects Ahsoka, centered on the Jedi played by Rosario Dawson in The Mandalorian; Rangers of the New Republic; The Acolyte from Leslye Headland; and Lando, which is being developed by Dear White People creator Justin Simien.

OBI-WAN KENOBI Movie in the Works with Stephen Daldry in Talks to Direct

Stephen Daldry is Star Wars’ new hope. The Oscar-nominated director behind Billy Elliot and The Hours is in early talks to direct a Star Wars standalone movie centering on Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Sources say talks are at the earliest of stages and that the project has no script. If a deal makes, Daldry would oversee the development and writing with Lucasfilm brass. It's not known at this stage if Ewan McGregor will reprise his role.

The Obi-Wan Kenobi standalone is one of several projects being developed by Lucasfilm and Disney that fall outside the trilogies telling the saga of the Skywalker family. A Han Solo movie is now in the final stages of shooting under new director Ron Howard and Lucasfilm is also looking at movies featuring Yoda and bounty hunter Boba Fett, among others.

In the original Star Wars trilogy, Kenobi was at first a desert-dwelling and war-weary hermit who later proved to be a wise and powerful warrior, brandishing a light saber. He was briefly a mentor to a young Luke before being cut down by Darth Vader, his former pupil. Alec Guinness played Kenobi, garnering him an Oscar nomination to boot.

The character got star treatment in the George Lucas-directed prequels which told the origin of Vader and his betrayal of Kenobi and the Jedis. McGregor has said he would be open to playing the character again. Sources stress, however, that since there is no script, no actor is attached.

Daldry hails from the theater world and made his feature debut with Billy Elliot, which netted him his first directing Oscar nomination. He followed that up with searing dramas The Hours and The Reader, which also netted him directing nominations.

He most recently directed episodes of Netflix’s period drama The Crown, which put him into play in this Emmy season.

Love violates the code. Getting laid does non. Ki-Adi Mundi had a harem before Palpatin carved his sorry ass up.

[Project 2501]

Star wars was always whack

 

[sissypunch]

Remember when Star Wars used to be the cool one in comparison to Star Trek. Now they are both lame it's a shame they will never bring back Firefly.

We really need a new sci-fi to really get stuck into. The Expanse is pretty decent.

 

[Rygu]

has ewan mcgregor come out as trans-black? i am surprised it's not idris elba playing obiwan

It should actually be Leslie Jones, because it's the current year.

 

[DooHoChoi]

Hope this has the same feel the Kenobi novel had, SW meets Western, sadly it probly won't.

Not expecting it to be better than Mando
Praying it's not as bad as pt 7-8-9

 

[Provocateur]

So is Hayden playing Darth Vader or Anakin?

 

[Provocateur]

Vital bits of info TS left out:

The story begins 10 years after the dramatic events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith where Kenobi faced his greatest defeat, the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker turned evil Sith Lord Darth Vader.

The series also marks the return of Hayden Christensen in the role of Darth Vader.
