STAR WARS: OBI-WAN KENOBI Series Reportedly In The Works For Disney+ Streaming Service

Solo: A Star Wars Story's disappointing box office performance put the brakes on the planned Obi-Wan Kenobi movie, but it sounds like the project could become a TV series on the Disney+ streaming service.

For years now, fans have been demanding an Obi-Wan Kenobi spinoff movie and while it appeared as if it was finally starting to come together last year when reports of a writer and director being attached started doing the rounds, that and every other spinoff was put on hold after Solo: A Star Wars Story disappointed at the box office. 

Well, Making Star Wars (an extremely reliable source of information) is now reporting that an Obi-Wan Kenobi series is a priority for Disney+ and could span as many as six episodes. 

Apparently, the Jedi Master's standalone movie was originally set to start shooting after Solo and Ewan McGregor remains on board the project regardless of what form it takes. Good things are being said about the movie's script, so that should bode well for what has now become spinoff series instead. In terms of specific plot details, though, they remain something of a mystery.

It's easy to see just how much potential a show like this would have because if The Mandalorian isn't enough to tempt Star Wars fans into subscribing to Disney+, this long overdue project most certainly would be.

Not a series of Movies, but a tv series.

...

Mixed feelings.

If they don't get Ewan they've already failed.

RIP Obi-Wan Movie

Guess Episode IX is really the end of the Skywalker/Lucas Era. Finally no more prequel spin-offs!

I’d actually prefer a six episode series, even if it’s limited, than a one off Anthology film. And on that subject, I think these shows, limited or not, are a much better idea to explore smaller scale stories than Anthology films.

A movie would have made sense as a sort of Sherrif's last (or penultimate, at least) hurrah. The old Jedi wizard that lives not far from Mos Eisley, where all the bad stuff goes down, getting roped into a plot involving a vague love interest or a child...
A Logan kinda thing.

But a series... well, maybe one or two seasons, but it can't be sustained, since A New Hope is literally just around the corner.

@GwenLantern - Kenobi was on Tatooine for 20 years. The series could start 5 or 10 years into his exile (prior to his encounter with Maul in REBELS).

This is actually so much better than a movie. And bringing back Ewan McGregor only makes me want to see this even more. Although Solo was kinda bland, I did like Maul and where they were going with that, so I hope they somehow can still wrap up that story. Maybe even in a Disney+ show, because Maul most probably is my second favorite prequel character after Kenobi.

OT: Speaking of Ewan McGregor, I just saw The Shining in cinema and, although the editing, sound, acting and foreshadowing weren't all that great, I hope Doctor Sleep is atleast gonna be as suspensefull as The Shining

@Trimount - Which do you mean. A show better than a movie, or DS better than TS. With the latter, there sure is some talent involved
