In before someone suggests ditching McGregor and casting Iain Glenn instead.
Was she frozen in carbonite right before Obi-Wan bumped into Luke in ANH?
You know he will though.
Otherwise
What about it makes sense?
Well...
Iain Glen looks the part I suppose but he's too old I think. He's only a couple years younger than Sir Alec was during ANH.
Really? Daldry worse than Trevorrow?
That's kinda surprising to hear. I like Daldry. I mean, I'm not like a huge fan or anything but he's certainly not a director you'd expect to be assigned a Star Wars film, which makes me pretty interested in what he would do.
(Especially considering I think at one point LFL was considering Zack Snyder for something along these lines, so hey.)
Why the dislike for Daldry?
Would be great with Yodas own WilsonNext they should do Yoda: the Crazy Years. Slowly losing his mind on Dagobah. Teaching rocks the alphabet. Singing softly to stumps. That kind of thing.
Uh
no
He's a beloved character but there's nothing we need answers to or immediately interesting about the premise. He's an outcast who's supposed to be living on Tatooine watching over Luke and he can't even fight Vader. I hope I'll be pleasantly surprised though. I'd be more interesting in him making a Clone Wars movie.Obi-Wan's a beloved character and they have almost twenty years of free time to play with. A spin-off focused on him was a no-brainer.
Great news about the project but the fuck at this directorial pick. I guess that young director thing is dead now.
Ewan's coming back. He wants to do it, everyone on Earth wants him to do it. LucasFilm ain't stupid.

Visually he looks much younger, though. I think he would nail it.
I can't say I comprehend why was this guy picked as director.

Daldry's filmography has some of the worst, most degenerate examples of "oscar bait" in the history of film. And the fact his films actually get nominated makes it even worse.
I couldn't think of someone I'd want to make a Star Wars film less than Daldry.

Hairline has nada to do with age tho.His hairline is pretty rough . Although they could put a wig on him easily enough. He's certainly a capable actor no doubt about that, but why ruin the continuity when you don't have to.
Adventures of young Obi Wan Kenobi and Quilan Vos. Do it!

You have your opinion and I have my own. I apologize that after only a few years of having an annual Star Wars film that I'm already bored by how Disney is handling these projects. I didn't like Rogue One and this Hans Solo film is, most likely, going to be a disaster. Maybe it's just me but films based on characters and events I already know about don't excite me. I want new characters and brand new stories.Congrats, you were the first to push all in on lazy, forced cynicism yawwnnnnn.

Stop encouraging this lazy prequel shit you guys.
