    No, I wish. One of my many hopeful concepts.

    Yeah on some facebook groups, everyone is acting like this is official news. I would honestly love it to be. but what everyone including myself has to keep in mind is that it isnt officially official until LFL says so (I hope they do now)

    I hope that it's a movie set between episodes 4&5. Obi wan comes to Yoda and says....hey yoda, Im going to tell Luke to come down here, and when he does, act like you don't know what he's talking about. Don't tell him you're Yoda. Just say you know where he is. It would be HILARIOUS! HAHAHAHAHA.

    In Rebels, it is suggested that the Rebellion does not know that Darth Vader is Anakin Skywalker until the end of Season 2 when Ahsoka (who is key figure within the Rebellion) finally senses the truth. However, judging from Leia's message to Obi-Wan, the Rebellion hardly has contact with Obi-Wan. Yet, when Obi-Wan talks to Luke in ANH, Obi-Wan already knows that Darth Vader is Anakin Skywalker. For how long had Obi-Wan already known, and why had he not informed the Rebel Alliance?

    That would be something the movie could hopefully answer. I prefer when things are tied up and not retconned.

    Could it not be, that OB1 gets a mission from Yoda and they start to look for old lost Jedi lore to prepare the restart of the Order because they follow the plan to start up a new generation with Luke or someone else (another Jedi descent... there is another one ?.. Reys family ?)
    just thoughts..

    That's not a bad thought at all, actually. Rather than "Obi Wan to the rescue" or anything overt like that, it could be Obi Wan on a "detective" type mission, looking to find and preserve ancient Jedi lore or something along those lines. I would assume that the Emperor would have been systematically destroying it all, so perhaps Yoda knows of something that Obi Wan might be able to locate before the Imperials do. All sort of complications could arise there, of course, making for an interesting story.

    IMHO, it has to be something that would allow Obi Wan to remain as low-profile as possible, since he's trying to keep off of the Emperor's radar in order to keep Luke hidden away. And of course, that could be part of the complication right there - whatever Obi Wan's task is, it'd probably be vital that he remain anonymous, and somebody would always be a step or two behind him, always inches away from blowing his cover.

    Yeah, that's a good comparison. Not a direct lift, by any stretch of the imagination, but with a bit of that flavor to it.

    This movie is a bad idea for a variety of reasons.

    1. If it involves Obi-Wan leaving his job protecting Luke to go on some mission, it does awful things to the character.

    First, it invalidates his commitment to protecting Luke and preserving the Jedi. That's what he did to make up for his failures, no? So everyone would be okay with him putting that aside to go on some mission just so you can have an Obi-Wan movie?

    Second, it will make him a failure YET AGAIN. He will end the movie going back to Tattoine a failure AGAIN. What is the point in that? How bad is Obi-Wan at accomplishing things? Obviously he doesn't assassinate the emperor, defeat Vader, or redeem Anakin. How many times do we have to see this character fail?


    2. I guess the movie staying on Tattoine could be interesting and different, but what's the story? It can't be about anyone in the empire hunting Luke, because that would seriously contradict the OT.

    Also, whatever "fighting" he did it would have to be completely hidden from Luke- Luke would have to be oblivious.

    The most interesting possibility they had here was Maul. The could have done an entire movie about Maul discovering where Obi-Wan is hidden, figuring out that this farm kid is important, and the movie is Obi-Wan outsmarting and of course ultimately defeating Maul.

    They aready did this in a throw-away cartoon episode.

    (I also don't think Disney is going to ok a Star Wars movie that doesn't occur in space)



    I don't get the interest in this movie. The only cool possibility I thought of was if, whatever the movie is about, it includes flashbacks to Obi-Wan and Annakin in their time together. The prequels did a terrible job at many things- one of which was establishing an actual friendship between these two. If the movie HAS to get made, I hope they somehow use flashbacks to kind of fix the prequels. (I think a better director can get a good performance out of Hayden)

    So it's gonna be crap unless they use your ideas of what can make it good?

    Right.

    Was that to me?

    Ummm, so I can't discuss my thoughts on the movie in the forum?

    Strange.

    What should we discuss then?

    You guys are funny. You love Star Wars so much you are willing to embrace everything they throw at you without thinking critically.

    Like I said, an Obi wan movie set between 3 and 4 could actually do terrible things to this so-called beloved character.

    Doesn't seem like many have considered that.

    To be perfectly honest, I dont like the idea of character centered spin offs. Ill see if the Solo movie works, but im pessimistic. I probably will like it, but story driven spin offs like Rogue One is a better concept me thinks.

    I also hope for a strong character driven story, and I would love this film to focus on their friendship.

    If i am not mistaken, in Episode 3, right after the Jedi Temple Attack, Obi Wan and Yoda watch security holograms that prove without any doubt, that Anakin is kneeling in front of the Emperor who calls him "Lord Vader".
    Shortly after, Yoda says to Obi "your padawan is gone, consumed by Darth Vader".
    Later again, Obi Wan will leave Anakin seriously hurted near the lava.
    And years later, a cyborg named Darth Vader terrorizes the Galaxy.
    I think Obi Wan easily made the link.

    Mmmmmh, Rebels is about a single rebellion cell (the Phoenix Squadron), not the entire Alliance, that won't exist till the Dantooine meeting.
    So what you state concerns only this cell.
    We don't know what the Alliance leadership (Mon Mothma, Bail Organa, Jan Dodonna) really know about Vader...

    I'm still a bit confused. This sub forum has been renamed the Obi Wan Kenobi movie, but no official statement from Lucasfilm. Only the rumours from Hollywood Reporter. As he is my favourite character, i would love a movie about him, but don't want to get my hopes up.

    How certain can we be that Kenobi is the 3rd anthology movie?

    If THR and Variety report on something, then it's basically a given that in some point in time we'll get some official announcement on this project.
