Man, what does someone have to do to get banned around here? You would think calling a moderator a hypocrite and an asshole, and the following up with childish mocking of his love of Rogue One, might do the trick…

I forgot to mention “doing nothing but shitting all over the forum every time he visits.”

I see you are as bad at comparisons as Impscum.

I wouldn’t mind if they DIDN’T set this during the time between III and IV, but instead in the time leading up to III.

But they will probably put this in the familiar places with the familiar characters and you know what, I will still love it and it will still be great.

Well this doesn’t bode well.

How do you make a serious space adventure western? Ahh yes get the director of Billy Elliot and The Reader.

The Kenobi novel is really the best starting point for a screenplay as it is practically already tailor made for adaptation. Personally I would have pitched that but slightly expanded to have at least one off-planet sequence.

At best I get the feeling this will be another TWINE scenario where a more art house type director is hired for a big budget feature and there is a complete disconnect between story, characters and action sequences.

They need to set it between Episodes 5 and 6. Essentially just My Dinner With Andre set in Yoda’s hut where they wax rhapsodic about their early lives and wonder just how everything went so wrong.

I would prefer to see Obi-wan on a swoop bike, rather than an Eopie, and that he crashes it during an epic swoop bike shoot out with a villain.

I would like to see Jimmy Smits return again as Bail Organa, perhaps a bounty hunter finds out there’s a Jedi on Tatooine and Bail has to take matters into his own hands as he kills the bounty hunter in cold blood, protecting the secret of a Jedi on Tatooine, as well as Luke Skywalker.

It would be cool to see characters we know and love, do something that’s out of character for them and we see a different side to them, we haven’t seen before.

As far as the Han Solo film, I want to see Han and Chewie walk into the bar in Mos Eisley and sit down at the end of the film, as the camera pans across the bar, we see Obi-wan glancing over at them, giving us a little smile and nod.

Maybe next to him we briefly, and I mean briefly see Biggs Darklighter sitting at the table next to him.

I know what you’re thinking, No, don’t do that, but I think they should, it makes perfect sense. I’m sure Obi-wan knows Biggs, maybe this is where he meets him. This is a SHARED universe, Rogue One had Vader, Tarkin, X-wing pilots, and Leia.

This is just like the Marvel universe, why not have cameos of those characters in other films such as Han Solo and Obi-wan stand alone films.

How about a PT-era film showing Obi-wan in the service of Bail Organa?

Maybe we’ll get a very short teaser for Obi-wan in front of the Han Solo film, the way we’ll get a teaser for Han Solo with Episode VIII The Last Jedi.

The teaser opens with the music from A New Hope: Tales of a Jedi Knight/Learn about the force.
as the camera goes along the desert until comes up over the hill where we see Ben’s home, then the camera travels into his home, where the lid of the chest opens and inside is Anakin’s lightsaber.

Cue logo and Year, Ben Kenobi Summer 2020.

It’s almost a guarantee, free marketing to Star Wars fans everywhere. What better way to market one film with another from the same universe. Marvel and Disney do it all the time, why not Lucasfilm, all which are owned by Disney.

I’m willing to make a bet on it, if it comes sooner than that, probably mid November or Thanksgiving time, but I have a feeling it will be with Star Wars The Last Jedi. It will be less than 6 months out, with no teaser of any kind, isn’t that a bit weird, if they didn’t release something by December? There is plenty of time to put together a 1 minute teaser of some kind and attach it to The Last Jedi. If you can’t, then that’s just ridiculous with everything they have shot already.

The teaser will probably come out after TLJ home release is available, to maximise the advertising space for each product.

Umm, that makes no sense, so the teaser for Han Solo will come out in April 2018, when TLJ is released on home video, and the movie comes out in May 2018. That makes absolutely no sense.

I’m willing to wager it’s released with TLJ in the theaters in December.

The teaser for Rogue One was released in April 2016 little over a week after the TFA Blu-ray hit shelves. Why would they change? It makes great financial sense and keeps the fan base reeled in.

Fair enough. Is that the original date or has it been pushed back yet post Ron Howard?

It has not (yet) been pushed back. Still scheduled for May.
