Obi-Wan Kenobi Spin-Off is Officially Developing
Fans have been asking for it forever, and now The Hollywood Reporter has officially confirmed that Lucasfilm is developing an Obi-Wan Kenobi spin-off.
THR also confirmed that Academy Award nominee Stephen Daldry is in talks to direct the film. Daldry has directed critically acclaimed films like Billy Elliot and The Hours.
Ewan McGregor, actor who played the Jedi mentor in the prequels, hasn’t been confirmed to reprise the role. However, he has shown interest in starring on a spin-off before, and his portrayal of the character is a fan-favorite.
