The Obi-Wan Kenobi Movie: Why It's Already Going To Be a Different Star Wars Movie
The Verge

So, it looks like the prayers have been answered and we're going to (possibly) be getting the Obi-Wan Kenobi Movie. With Director Stephen Daldry in very early talks about directing the film, we are left with a single burning question on our lips. "What's going to happen in the movie?"

Well, I have absolutely no connections to Hollywood, so I can't say. But I can find myself pondering a lot about movie. Above all, "What story is going to be told? Is there a story to even be told?"

Well, the obvious answer is a story sometime in between episodes III and IV, with Ewan McGregor reprising his role as the Jedi Master. I however see a potential problem with this. Story wise and canonically. Obi-Wan spent that time on Tatooine, a desert planet looking after Luke Skywalker before Episode IV occurred. That's a time period of roughly 19 years or so. With this in mind, there is very little wiggle room. That's not to say there isn't a story to be told, but I just don't think it's going to be the one what everyone expects. There isn't going to be a massive lightsaber duel or the galaxy isn't going to be jeopardy at all.

But rather, I think it's going to more smaller scale story line, likely very character driven. A possible story line being Obi-Wan's journey across Tatooine to save Luke from something. With this in mind, I heavily doubt we'll even see a lightsaber appear, given how the character wants to keep such a low profile to protect Luke.

Now, what I've described isn't exactly what we'd expect from a Star Wars film. What the franchise has built itself upon is massive space battles with countless lives in danger. If the Obi-Wan movie goes the route with Ewan McGregor and taking place in between episodes III and IV, it's going to be a very different star wars film. That's not necessarily a bad thing, it's probably going to be very refreshing and unique if it's handled correctly.

But still, this is all pure speculation. The director is simply in talks, and nothing has been finalized just yet. But the overall reaction from the internet is clear. We want this movie to happen, Ewan McGregor is open to returning to the character. And if the movie comes out? I'll be among the first to get tickets. But, people just have to realize this is probably going to be a very different Star Wars movie. And that's a probably a good thing.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
