Signing him to a multi picture deal doesn't mean that he will get a trilogy. I think this is a stretch. With the plan currently to have a Star Wars film every year, a trilogy would really eat up a LOT of those slots.

It could easily be the Han Solo film, Rogue One cameo (?), and appearance in another film... say, a story about Boba. I want to believe this just gives them the flexibility to do whatever they want.

True, but there's no guarantee they're going start another main trilogy so close after VII - IX, in 2021. They might take a few years off and something like this, or an Obi-Wan trilogy, would be perfect to fill the gap.

It seems pretty impossible to have an Obi-Wan trilogy. Almost his entire life was covered by episodes 1-6, with the exception of his time on Tatooine. I don't see how that time can be turned into 3 interesting movies.

I'm not going to complain if they take this the direction of the MCU. It won't perfectly meet my expectations, but it will be a lot better than the content period from 1984 - 1998.

I'd take a Kenobi trilogy now in addition to the ST personally.

Truth be told, everyone will forget about Han anyway when I'm done with my treatment for my own anthology film.

I hope they don't fall into the trilogy trap for the anthology films. Kenobi would be great for a two-parter.

Part 1 - birth to padawan sent to negotiate trade disputes on Naboo?
Part 2 - Tatooine wanderer?

or do you spend time on some pointless Jedi missions with a pre-teen Anakin?

I doubt they would. A Han Solo movie would make sense to deal with two things. First, Han and Chewie meeting and the life debt owed. Second, Boba working for the Hutts and the bounty Han earns. Add in a cameo in R1 for Han and that's three movie appearances.

A Kenobi movie could deal with two things as well. One is Luke and safeguarding him from someone, for example the Hutts, and the other is him adjusting to life on Tatooine and finding a purpose without the Order. Though you could arguably deal with that in one movie. Plus you could bring back Liam Neeson to voice Qui-Gon.

Clearly some of you missed out...

Am I remembering this wrong...

When Luke meets Obi-Wan in ANH, Obi doesn't seem like he was there the whole time watching over Luke on purpose. I just never got that feeling like he was "protecting from afar." Discuss amongst yourselves.

He was, but it's all implied. He talks about Owen not allowing him to have the lightsaber, but from context it seems he was planning to train him, not just give him the saber.

And of course the new canon has him being more active, from a distance.

What titles in the new canon cover Obi-Wan? I might check them out.

Star Wars 7, 15, and 20.

Is that for sale?

(seriously)

Thank God...

More reason to have faith in the people running this show.

Thanks. Honestly, though, the light pattern on top and bottom of that version ruins it for me. The initial one has a simpler vintage look.

Think original may have been by Urban Outfitters.

I don't know... it could have been really cool to see something similar to Empire with Vader getting his mask put back on and we get a quick glimpse of Christensen Vader having been in the suite for many years. Make it a cross between him in ROTS and what we see in Jedi and it could have been a very creepy and cool effect.

I agree it's probably best to leave it alone for now, but it also could have been done in a way where many of us would have enjoyed it.

agree... would have been ok with Christensen in a brief non-talking-about-the-smoothness-of-sand scene.

Glad Han won't be in it.

You know, that's actually not a bad idea. I could have been down with something as simple as that. But yeah, definitely glad they're not forcing Han into this thing.
