Recently, Collider has reported that the Star Wars stand-alone/ anthology/ A Star Wars Story movies were being put on hold by Lucasfilm. This news story became widespread enough for ABC to write an article about it, getting a quote from Lucasfilm, saying that multiple Star Wars films are still in development. Although not specifying which films, the source is credible, because ABC and Lucasfilm are both owned by Disney. It is unknown if the films in development are the rumored Obi-Wan Kenobi or Boba Fett movies. But, we do know that a trilogy from Rian Johnson and a series of films from David Benioff and DB Weiss are still in development and have both been officially announced by Lucasfilm. As well as Star Wars Episode IX, being released on December 20th of next year.
I think this is all very interesting and it got me think if I want this. And I realized that I don't, because I have liked both of the stand-alones released so far. I would want a schedule of a movie from one of the series one year, then a standalone, and then the other series. An Obi-Wan movie is the stand-alone movie that I most want. Boba Fett on the other hand, while I don't really want a movie all about him, I would love a bounty hunter team-up. It could also continue part of the story set-up by Solo. For the Rian Johnson Trilogy and the Benioff and Weiss series of films (which is likely between 2 and 4) there has been speculation regarding what these movies will be about, the most prominent is that one of the series will be The Old Republic. If I had to guess, I would say that the Benioff and Weiss series is The Old Republic and Rian Johnson's trilogy is focused in wild space and the outer regions of the Star Wars galaxy. There is a problem with any of these movies coming out in 2020. That is because of conflicts in scheduling for Benioff and Weiss and Ewan McGregor for Obi-Wan and it doesn't seem that Rian Johnson's first movie will go into production fast enough. The only possibility for 2020 is Boba Fett, (at least from these options, it could be something completly different. There could also be no movie at all, considering that 2020 is the year after Episode IX and if they want to not have a movie in 2020, it would be the best time for a break. Although, Disney CEO Bob Iger did mention that they have a writer for a 2020 Star Wars movie. If it is something other than Kenobi or Boba Fett, I would want I Knights of Ren movie, because of the different time-era than the other anthologies. That is if they aren't brought back into Episode IX in a major way. JJ abrams was the person who invented them and was also the person who came up with the idea for a Knights of Ren movie, saying, “there’s a Knights of Ren story that I think would be pretty cool to tell.”
Another rumor is that the Obi-Wan movie might be released directly to the upcoming Disney streaming service. And I absolutely despise this idea. For one thing, that would make it a direct-to-video movie, which brings a terrible connotation. It is also negative in that it would make it seem like Disney only cared about the Star Wars movies that were releasing directly in the theatre. So and the movies on the streaming service were of lower quality. I don't believe that if a movie was made for streaming that it would be the same quality or budget as if made for streaming. I want to experience live-action Star Wars movies on a big screen for the first time, not just some direct-to-video movie that you watch on the couch. Star Wars films should be an event. All of that said, I think a TV show could work for Obi-Wan. Considering that there is already a live-action Star Wars series in the works. There just isn't a point to making a movie instead of a series if it's direct-to-streaming. If they are making a movie, it should not be direct to series, but the TV shows can be. Because television series don't release in a movie theatre.
I hope you all enjoyed my second Star Wars news breakdown. I will likely do more of these in the future as we find out details on more in Star Wars and possibly other topics in the future. So, thank you and stay connected.
