I kinda want there to be a scene where he'd need to use his lightsaber, but goes for a blaster instead to stay incognito, and throwing it away and muttering over how it's "uncivilized".

Buut it's more likely he'll opt for a non-violent solution in most cases, to reflect some stoicism or character growth toward the "Rebels" & "New Hope" depiction of him.

I would like to see him taming and riding a Krayt Dragon. No Tusken would risk getting close to him...

I'm pretty sure production is delayed by the pandemic.

https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/obi-wan-kenobi-disney-plus-series-joby-harold-1234569286/

So they brought someone in to rewrite the Kenobi scripts. Before TRoS, I would have taken this as a definite good sign. They brought in another director to do last minute reshoots for the Battle of Scarif in RO (I believe to lighten the tone a bit), and that turned out well. They replaced The Lego Movie directors when they were trying to turn Solo into comedy, and Solo turned out well.

But then the original director of Episode IX was fired and his script was mostly junked, which gave us TRoS. However, the campfire chain message trilogy was its own big issue no matter who was making the films.

Kenobi is another prequel like Solo and RO, so hopefully this will still be good news for Kenobi. I'm trying to stay optimistic.

In other news, Disney CEO Bob Iger, who had stepped down as CEO this year, came back to save it from the Coronavirus Crisis.

I really wish we'd get (well written) content set between ROTJ and the ST. That featured Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker. I feel like there's already enough of Obi Wan out there between the prequels, the OT, and several cartoons.

The director which was already announced, which was one of the first season The Mandalorian directors.

The title has been announced as Obi-Wan Kenobi, so I updated the thread title. It will begin filming in March 2021.

Hayden Christensen was announced to reprise his RotS role of Darth Vader, which I appreciate from a franchise continuity perspective. And it won't be Lucas directing so Christensen should be better (and he'll have a helmet on).

I wonder if he ever put his foot on Tatooine again (sand tauma)? I really hope they'll give him good lines though.

And regarding the mask..

Not to add any spoilers, but the Obi Wan show will be about Obi Wan Kenobi in the time just after revenge of the sith.

I doubt it, because if Vader finds out that Obi-Wan is there, then that would make him wonder why he is there. Obi-Wan will probably have some reason to leave Tatooine, and the secret of Luke will remain safe. It makes sense that the reason Luke was taken there in the first place was because Yoda felt it would be safe from Vader, because it would be too traumatic for Anakin to return.

It is set 10 years after RotS.

No new trailer today, just some quick interview clips and concept art they call a "special look."

I hope he makes a bunch of morally ambiguous compromises and goes full circle through all the WEG force-user archetypes! I want to see drunk Obi-Wan who has a Dark Side point!

And a when he's not drunk he's a Quixotic Jedi who spouts bad poetry and chivalrously chases women.

"That Obi-wan, he's the bomb!"
"He's like a Bantha!!"
