The new guard at Lucasfilm sure are jacked about the future of the Wars – so much so, the whole franchise is looking a little LEGO-ish at this stage.
A new rumour has hit suggesting, in addition to the new sequel trilogy and umpteen spin-off films, a stand-alone film based on Obi-Wan Kenobi is in the works.
MakingStarWars.Net reports :
I’ve heard from quite a few people now that an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie is in the works. For the spin-off movies they were initially going to stay away from any Jedi or Sith characters. But I’m hearing now that because of the popularity of Obi-Wan (fans recently voting for him on the official website etc) that an art team is now working with a writer on concepts for an Obi-Wan movie
In other “Star Wars” news, the site has a rumour about the lineage of the rogues of “Episode VII”.
The recent Adam Driver rumor – Benedict Cumberbatch, Gwendoline Christie, the Count Dooku connection, and now the Driver rumors. These are all based on that central idea of an aristocratic family ‘line’ involving Episode 7’s bad guys. And as I said before, I firmly believe its the line of Dooku. Details and characters might have changed but the idea of an aristocratic villain with a heritage going back to the Clone Wars has been there from pre-production and as far as I know it’s still a major part of the story.
