Mildly interested
in the porn parody. The Ewan look-alike better be good.

OHHHH SHIT
It is a unique choice, and his theatre and film background could mean they're going for something interesting (more emotional/dramatic) rather than big and flashy.
But he's also deep into the Wicked film adaptation currently (still in pre-production, I believe), so this movie may be a while off.

Alec looks ancient in ANH. You'd peg him for 70, easily. You can't tell me you look at the two and go "yeah, they're the same age".
You don't know any of the events in Han Solo or Obi-Wan's movies, hell, we only knew that at the end they would steal the plans for the Death Star, we didn't know any of the characters or how they would go about it in Rogue One.
Yes, it's probably for the better.

Pretty sure Ewan has said in multiple interviews that he would return if asked.
Anyway, I kind of don't want this. For one thing, I would love for these Lucasfilm to move on from the "between Ep III and Ep IV" time period. But also, I don't really like the idea of basing the movies around a certain character. Much prefer the RO route of finding an interesting story to tell, then inserting the characters.
...then again, we haven't seen the Han movie yet, so I could be pleasantly surprised.

I mean that's cool but they really need to widen the star wars universe with these movies. Focusing on characters and things you already know is a mistake imo.

I'm not sure why it has to provide answers to something. There's also plenty of things he could do other than fight Vader. For example, his brief appearances in the comics have explored his struggle with isolating himself when he knows he can help people.

That's what I'm saying though. He obviously looks younger but not THAT much younger. I suppose it depends when they set the movie but they are better off with Ewan in all cases. I would think they need at least 10 years before ANH.

Turns out in his years of exile protecting Luke, Obi Wan also found time to go on a giant space adventure and saved the entire galaxy and somehow he never mentioned it.
Man. I really home they keep it "small scale". I want basically a version of a Star Wars Clint Eastwood western with Kenobi
Yea...if it's not Ewan, I'm not seeing. I'm already not going to see the Han movie on principle. I loved han solely because of HF and the fact that he was Han.
Ewan IS obiwan. There is literally no reason not to have him come back when he still looks almost like he did a decade ago.

I gotta say the most surprising thing about this is that not only do people have super-strong opinions about Stephen Daldry, but that they have super-strong overwhelmingly negative opinions on Stephen Daldry.
Didn't see that one coming.
Hell, I thought there'd be a little more splashback that they've hired yet another white guy to get behind the camera.

Depends on when it's set. If it's like...young Yoda with hair, no. If it's about Yoda training Dooku, I'm down.
I don't have a strong opinion about Daldry other than confusion about why him.
I find the more interesting component being that Kennedy looks to be done gambling on relatively young directors.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
I bet you watch Han Solo. I bet you watch this no matter who they cast. Star Wars fans complain but they can't not go see the movies.

this movie needs to be about obi learning of leia, luke, and han's destinies and shaping them accordingly so they all meet at certain points in their life to save the galaxy from the empire
and he blows up a death star by throwing his lightsaber into the core from a comet
and take sheev's clone and raises it so it becomes good and has kids which one is rey's dad but then the clone turns evil and becomes snoke but then obi defeats(?) him

Ewan was the only good part of the prequels. His Obi-Wan was amazing.
I'm he's in, I'm in!
I'm he's in, I'm in!
Are you ready for an entire film full of Yoda dialogue?
Receipts?
Good point. It's almost certain Qui-Gon will be back in this movie.
I didn't see Rogue one yet, so yea...
I'm not seeing Han, unless it gets like 100% RT and literally everyone including RLM loves it and says its amazing.

Yoooooo can we get Mace Windu and Vader Next????
Yeah, see, I'd be interested in that story.
Maybe not as a movie, but I'm sure there's something out there that covers it.
