Obi-Wan Kenobi's Getting His Own Movie

by Ran

Now the teacher becomes the star. It looks like Lucasfilm and Disney are taking one more step toward rendering the Star Wars prequel trilogy completely unnecessary. The two companies have just announced that Luke Skywalker's original sensei will headline his own adventure. I'm guessing it will premiere no sooner than the summer of 2021 since the Han Solo prequel and Episode IX are scheduled for 2018 and 2019 releases, respectively. And don't forget there's a Boba Fett prequel in the works as well.

So far, Obi-Wan's biggest showcase has been in the worst Star Wars film to ever grace a movie screen -- Attack of the Clones. So they may as well title his upcoming entry Redemption. Personally, I've never been interested in Kenobi's story but if the filmmakers take inspiration from Rogue One this could be something special.
