The Mandalorian has been such a phenomenon that it is logical that Disney tries to carry out as soon as possible more series set in the Star Wars universe . This is the case of The Bad Batch within the animation or the untitled fiction of Cassian Andor with Diego Luna , but before all of them is the one starring Obi-Wan Kenobi. One whose development has not gotten off to a very good start.
The Kenobi series, still without an official title, was announced last year with Ewan McGregor already on board after he played the character in George Lucas' prequels , but the start of production has been postponed due to problems with the script. . However, after Joby Harold replaced Hossein Amini as lead writer, it seems that things are back on track, and that filming will actually begin quite soon.
McGregor himself has confirmed this during an intervention on The Graham Norton Show . “It's the Obi-Wan Kenobi story, I guess. We will start shooting in March of next year ” , he revealed. Although we know that filming will begin in March 2021 with Deborah Chow as the main person in charge, it is difficult to predict when it could premiere on Disney + due to the coronavirus crisis. The actor has not gone into details, preferring to explain how the role is being prepared.
The Kenobi of this series will be a much more mature one than the one he played in the second Star Wars trilogy , something that will bring him closer to Alec Guinness , who played him in the original films. "The fun thing about doing the prequels, when I was younger, was imagining, 'How would Alec Guinness have made these movies when he was young?' That led me to see a lot of his previous work, which I had never seen, ” said McGregor.
“This time I am closer in age, and it will be my challenge to try to find him at some point. I adore Alec Guinness. I never knew him but I love him through his work and it is an honor to try to be like him ”, he concluded.
