zoogs Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 If they can get Ewan McGregor, I'll really be looking forward to this. A fourth Obi-Wan spinoff is a great idea 1 Quote Link to comment

whateveritis1224 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Reviving a dead topic, but I do have something to say. An Obi-Wan Kenobi movie, even with Ewan McGregor, would be a bad idea. Why? Because Obi-Wan is confined to Tatooine laying low in the timeframe most people want this movie to take place making sure Luke survives to become the New Hope for the galaxy. He keeps Luke out of trouble and takes care of Jabba's goons when they get to close to the Homestead, but I'm having a hard time thinking of a good movie plot for Kenobi out of this. At this point I would rather have the side movies have their own takes on the Star Wars universe away from characters from the main saga. 1 Quote Link to comment

Take a page out of Rebels and bring Darth Maul back. 1 Quote Link to comment

Except Rebels is Canon and that story line has already been resolved with Obi-Wan progressing past Maul's petty squabble. They have a whole scene where Obi-Wan is above Maul now with his purpose of protecting Luke and is only drawn into a fight when Maul threatens him. Good character, but there is little to no story to tell for the character. I guess convince me if you have a good plot for a 2 hour long movie that stays on Tatooine that wouldn't draw attention to authorities as Obi-Wan is there to hide and protect. For the uninitiated, here's the Maul/Kenobi scene in Rebels: (spoiler Maul dies in the end) Edited April 12, 2018 by whateveritis1224 1 Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I expect an Obi Wan story to blow this Han Solo thing out of the water. Quote Link to comment

Moiraine Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) I'm ready for them to leave the Skywalker timeline. The KOTOR games showed it was possible to do that and still be awesome. That said I will probably enjoy the movie and buy it. Edited April 14, 2018 by Moiraine Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I don't think the timeline is that big of a deal...I just care more about movies that are made and that I like Quote Link to comment

I just want there to be a new cast of characters. It gives them more freedom. And I just loved KOTOR. Honestly I'd prefer if they go to that time period and had some sith training stuff (although I'm not sure how canonical that'd be [I've never used the word "canonical" before]). In the games there were multiple sith but in the movie universe it seems like there can only be 2. Then it gets more confusing because Sith is also a race.

teachercd Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 The timelines of spinoffs always confuses me! I would almost not even know. Quote Link to comment
