Colin Trevorrow confirms the recent leaks of concept images for Episode IX were from his planned version of the film…
https://twitter.com/colintrevorrow/status/1220607283094224897?s=20
“Yes, this is from Duel of the Fates. But I’d never kill R2…he just took a bad hit. Happens to all of us.”
‘Ewan McGregor Says Star Wars: Obi-Wan Filming Delayed to Next Year, Release Date Won’t Be Affected’:-
https://comicbook.com/starwars/2020/01/24/ewan-mcgregor-says-star-wars-obi-wan-filming-delayed/
A few quotes from the man himself (taken from the linked article above)…
“It just slipped to next year, that’s all,” McGregor says of the delay. “The scripts are really good. I think that so now that Episode IX came out and everyone at Lucasfilm’s got more time to look to spend on the writing, they felt like they wanted more time to write the episodes. I read about 80-90 percent of what they’ve written so far and it’s really, really good. And instead of shooting this August, they just want to start shooting in January, that’s all. It’s nothing more dramatic than that. It often happens in projects, they just wanted to push it to next year.”
“It will have the same release date, I don’t think it will affect the release date. They’re still shooting towards having the [series] released when it was going to originally release.”
and
‘When asked about reports that the series has been shortened from six to four episodes, McGregor denied them, simply saying: “I haven’t heard that.”’
or from…
'Ewan McGregor rubbishes ‘bullshit’ reports of creative differences on Obi-Wan Kenobi series:-
Some posts have been deleted which were nothing to do with Hal’s proposed Edit - and instead just talking about the film in general - plus whatever people want to knock Disney for their apparent faults / choices for the Episode IX.
Lucasfilm must likely be quite relieved when they get a free pass / that so little criticism comes their way.
A quick reminder that the Star Wars Preservation and Star Wars Fan Edit sections of the site are NOT the places to bash on certain eras or aspects of the films, actors, film-makers or owners.
There are far more relevant threads in the Beyond the Original Trilogy or General Star Wars Discussion sections of the site to talk about this.
Critiquing a scene in the Star Wars Fan Edits section with the aim of improving it, removing it, altering it etc is perfectly fine. Statements such as ‘Disney sucks’ and ‘this film is so shit no Fan Edit can save it’ is not.
Thank you.

Hi & welcome schnitzelboy - hope you enjoy your time on here mate 😃
Patrick Stewart talks about what the show is about in this 3-minute video, taken from the Star Trek site - link
“It will be the eighth series in the Star Trek franchise and centres on the character Jean-Luc Picard. Set at the end of the 24th century, 20 years after the events of Star Trek: Nemesis (2002), the storyline is affected by the destruction of the planet Romulus referenced in the film Star Trek (2009), as well as the death of Data in Nemesis.” - wiki.
Star Trek: Picard - Official Trailer - from Amazon Prime Video
Star Trek: Picard New Promo - from the Spoiler TV youtube channel (16th January promo)
‘Star Trek: Picard’ is scheduled to premiere on January 23, 2020 - and its first season will consist of ten episodes.
It’ll be shown on CBS All Access in the US, on CTV Sci-Fi Channel & OTT service Crave in Canada - with Amazon Prime Video showing the series in 200 other territories (Amazon Prime in the UK). Website : Twitter : IMDB : Wikipedia
‘Star Trek: Picard’ Renewed for Season 2 - article at the Star Trek website.
The weekly ‘aftershow’ show - ‘The Ready Room’, hosted by Wil Wheaton, was an intriguing watch too (his love and respect for Trek comes across really well) - with a few insights and stories into how the show came together and how they got Patrick Stewart interested after he initially turned down previous ideas for the series.
