Help us Stephen Daldry, you're Obi-Wan Kenobi's only hope. Or so it seems.
Sources have reportedly told The Hollywood Reporter that an Obi-Wan Kenobi stand alone film is in early talks for director Stephen Daldry to take charge of the film. According to The Hollywood Reporter, if Daldry were to agree to the job, he would oversee both development and scripting of the film.
Currently, the movie has no script or actors attached to the project and it is unknown if Ewan McGregor will reprise his role as the beloved Jedi Master. Previously, however, McGregor has said in several interviews that he has a large interest in starring as Kenobi once again and would be more than happy too. "Listen, I have been asked about it a lot, to the point where it looks a bit like I'm sort of touting for work," said McGregor in an interview with Business Insider. "I've been very open to say I'd be happy to do it, if they want to do it."
Fans have been begging for an Obi-Wan story for a while now, and for the time being, it seems they are going to get what they wished for. This story is still in the works so check back often for updates.
UPDATE 8/24
Reports coming from Omega Underground have stated that the project name for the spin-off has been confirmed. With the title "Joshua Tree", it is more likely now that it will be in a desert setting, or more specifically, Tatooine. Joshua Tree National Park is located in California, where both the Mojave and the Colorado desert come together. This is near Death Valley National Park, where several scenes of A New Hope was filmed.
LucasFilm has not yet released further details on the movie so be sure to check back on our Facebook page often for more updates! The unnamed Obi-Wan movie is expected to be released in 2020.
