I'd quite like to see a "lost" Kenobi story - I wonder if Ewan would be up for stand alone Obi Wan movie?

That one has long been mooted as one of these "anthology" movies, so fingers crossed. Also read fairly recently that Ewan would definitely be up for returning if required.

I've always said that if you wanted a guaranteed money-spinner, then just call one of the movies "Star Wars Episode x - The One Where Jar Jar Dies Horribly" - I'd patiently queue in line to see that sh*t go down!

There was a good stand-alone story in the Star Wars comics set durin g Kenobi's younger days, something about protecting a shipment. Can't recall the full details. Maybe that could be the basis of a new film. |

It's heartbreaking to consider just how good the prequel trilogy could have been. With the right writers and directors, it could have surpassed the original trilogy in my opinion as the over-arcing story potential and themes were much richer.
He should have watched Empire on a loop to understand what Star Wars is about before starting the prequels. The prequels could and should have been so much more. A build up over 2.5 films and then Anakins descent into Darth Vader rushed within 30 minutes. Clunky wooden actors, cheap characters solely to entice the kids and no real depth to the rise of Vader. I'm so glad he's sold off the franchise and Disney offered him creative input but hopefully that's lip service more than anything. |

Understatement of the millennium lol. George Lucas almost ruined what he created by relying totally on CGI and other digital technology rather than staying true to the wonder and magic of the originals. He even almost killed the original trilogy with his special editions - Greedo shot first, Jabba meets Han in Mos Eisley etc etc

There's a novel doing the rounds at the minute titled "Kenobi" which charts the character's early years on Tattooine where he settles after the events of Episode III. It's kind of in the vein of a western with Obi-Wan as a sort of mysterious drifter who roams around getting into scrapes with the locals and having adventures etc.

Some rumours about the movie -
Spoiler
It all sounds like it's going to take us right up to the beginning of A New Hope. |

My only worry is that over-saturation will dilute the quality of the franchise.
That would give them the freedom to try something new, which could be interesting. Equally, if an installment stinks it can be safely ignored without dragging down the main movies. |

interesting, fastest finger
I wonder how they could credibly do the later part of line 3 in your spolier tag maybe, they would go the route a few other films have |

I can't see there being much unused footage to fall back on. They could use CGI which has been very impressive in other movies recently, but would certainly be good enough if they featured just as a hologram transmission for example, as the image is distorted anyway.

They seem to have a decent cast for this.
Brit actors Felicity Jones and Riz Ahmed alongside Ben Mendelsohn, Diego Luna and Forest Whitaker. Mendelsohn most likely playing the baddie. |

A story that shows how the valiant pilots of the rebellion got upstaged by a novice farm boy pilot, who hears voices in his head, and who destroys the Death Star virtually single handed. Rendering all their prior sacrifices and heroism forgotten.

Looking at the teaser, I think this has potential to take Star Wars in a really new dark direction. A gritty war film in the star wars universe; the possibilities are endless.
Decent cast too. Might be an interesting story about war and sacrifice. |
