"Begun, the new Star Wars rumors have. The usually reliable Heat Vision blog at The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that the next installment in the Star Wars extended universe (after the director-juggling Han Solo prequel and, probably, a Boba Fett film) will be an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie. No word on who'll play the Jedi—it was Alec Guinness in the first three movies and Ewan McGregor in the prequels—but Billy Elliot's Stephen Daldry is in talks to direct. Chatter about a new Star Wars movie, especially a non-saga iteration, fires up the WIRED Culture Slack channel like lightsabers in the arena on Geonosis. And our writers Emma Grey Ellis, Brendan Nystedt, and Adam Rogers have particularly strong opinions. Nobody seems too afraid—fear leads to anger, anger to hate, etc. But … concerned? Perhaps. Nerdy? Definitely. Adam Rogers: News of an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie makes me feel a little like the mid-1930s particle physicist who, when informed of the surprise discovery of the muon, said: Who ordered that? I love the Star Wars universe, but unless I'm forgetting a background player, Old Ben from beyond the Dune Sea is the only character to appear in all seven saga movies (if you count his voice wafting into Star Wars: The Force Awakens), both iterations of the Clone Wars cartoon, the Rebels cartoon (where he's one side of the single best lightsaber fight in the entire canon), and at least two books. The point of the extended universe, I thought, was to explore places we haven't yet seen. I've been from one end of this galaxy to the other, and I've seen a lot of Ben Kenobi. Who's with me?…"

VCarter why would you say that? Since it's NOT true regardless of what some have posted about JAR JAR BINKS why don't you just leave him alone and talk about something else? |

Maybe he's conducting a Pavlovian experiment. |

I'll step it up a notch, Jar Jar doesn't really exist he is just a character in a movie – sorry historical document. |
| Captain Gideon | 21 Aug 2017 7:44 a.m. PST |
VCarter why did you bring it up in the first place??? |
| Col Durnford | 21 Aug 2017 11:13 a.m. PST |
The other kids on the playground made me do it. |

Now I've got images of jar jar binks with his tongue stuck to a frozen flag pole… Now add a good lightning storm… *** I'd be interested in an Obi-Wan movie… but not sure how they could really fit into what we've seen already unless: A: Young Obi Wan before he meets Qui-Gon (no thanks)
B: Obi Wan post EP1… which means Anakin is in it… been done already
C: Obi-Wan post EP3… Obi vs. Sandpeople and Sarlaccs? Eh… |
| Captain Gideon | 21 Aug 2017 10:52 p.m. PST |
Sure they did VCarter. And Ghostrunner IF(and I highly doubt you do) you have pictures produce them,and if you can't then stop saying it. |
