Obi-Wan film not happening after all?

It still could happen even if the first film in Rian's trilogy comes first. There will most likely be year gaps just like in the case of ST, which can be filled with standalones.

Let's not forget that the Obi-Wan rumour was apparently very premature. It has never been a confirmed project.

 

No way.

 

Calm down people. Patience. They have announced a new saga (to replace the current episodic saga in their future plans). They have not announced they are no longer making anthology films. I predict the pattern will remain the same: Saga, Anthology, Saga, Anthology, etc., etc.
If Kenobi is in their plans, it still is... regardless of the latest announcement.

 

Well, an Obi-Wan film was neither confirmed or denied officially. It was just media gossip and rumours.

 

Precisely my friend. So I will repeat, if Kenobi is in their plans, it still is. (point being we never really knew if it was or not)

 

Yeah, I agree with this.

Regardless of whether or not the third spinoff is an Obi Wan movie, as far as we know there is still at least a third spinoff film- or, rather, we at least have no reason to think that has changed yet.
This is like thinking that Episode 7 would have been the only sequel episode when the spinoffs themselves were announced.

 

Dont think it is cancelled. Believe the schedule will be like this.
2017 - Episode 8
2018 - Solo
2019 - Episode 9
2020 - Obiwan
2021 - New Trilogy Episode 1
2022 - Standalone
2023 - New Trilogy Episode 2
2024 - Standalone
2025 - New Trilogy Episode 3
2026 - Standalone
2027 - Episode 10

they probably just havent mapped out the next series of stand alone movies yet...or they have just changed their production strategy moving forward..

 

I think you' pretty much have the schedule laid out. I think they would call the Obi-wan film Kenobi: A Star Wars Story. Since he hasn't gone by the name Obi-wan in a long time.

 

Well. Apparently, we all think they'll announce it later.

(Watch them not announce it later...)

 

Why thank you!

And your Scout Trooper avatar is awesome as well. The Scout Troopers are very underrated, imo.

 

I would love to see a film about Obi-Wan Kenobi it would be so cool to see about this life and his training to be becoming a jedi!!!!!!

 

I think it will happen for sure, Lucasfilm/Disney will take a beating from fans if it doesn't

 

I never believed in an Obi Wan movie for the main reason is that we already know most of his life. And he can't be hiding protecting Luke while being the hero of something. The Empire would have find him.

 

The power of Star Wars lies not in telling prequel stories or stand-alone's but in serial narrative that is succesive. I'm not interested in an Obi Wan or Han Solo movie. The only way you make a prequel is by focusing on new characters, somewhat like Rogue One did. The only problem of course being that you'll never have enough time to establish these characters and provide satisfying resolution for their arcs. Rogue One for example. I think Lucasfilm understands that the standalone as a concept is highly problematic and doesn't seem to work that well for Star Wars even though Rogue One did quite well in the box office. Each standalone effort by Lucasfilm has been one of difficulty. They are reverting to succesive serial content, like a new Trilogy and TV-series for those exact same reasons.

The more you think about an Obi Wan movie the more you already know it will ultimately fail. Yes IT HAS OBI WAN, but Obi Wan cannot die and it would be unlogic for him to either leave the planet or engender 'attachement' to other beings. If he would do the former, his self-imposed 'heroic' exile in III and IV becomes a bust. If he does the latter, the entire confrontation with Anakin and Anakin's fall itself would become a bust. Star Wars should really ditch the idea of making prequels. I've never seen a prequel that worked, simply because you already know the resolution of the story.
