Star Wars: Ewan McGregor Says Obi-Wan Drama Is "Bullshyt"

Refuting reports that Obi-Wan is indefinitely delayed, star Ewan McGregorsays online drama surrounding the live-action Star Wars series is "bullsh-t." Speaking to press at the premiere of Warner Bros.' Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), McGregor clarified the shooting start simply has been pushed from August to next January, adding reported clashes over creative differences are "not true." Ensuing drama from confused reports are overblown: "It's not as nearly as dramatic as it sounds online," said McGregor, who added Disney-owned Lucasfilm "pushed the shoot to the beginning of next year."

"The scripts are really good. I saw 90% of the writing and I really liked it,"
McGregor said. "All this bulls— about creative differences and all that stuff, none of it is true. We just pushed the dates ... last episode, [Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker] came out, everyone had more time to read the stuff that had been written, and they felt that they wanted to do more work on it."

McGregor continued, "So they slid the shoot. It’s not nearly as dramatic as it sounds online." According to McGregor, the still-untitled Obi-Wan series is on track for its January 2021 shooting start.

"I think they want to keep the same release date so it’s not really gonna affect the viewer in any way," he said. "It just simply gives them more time to write and make the scripts even better."

Disney copping Star Wars has been:skip:

It's been an absolute shyt show under KK's watch. I hope this has repercussions because this was a series that fans were looking forward to and pushed for until Disney finally gave in. It's like The Clone Wars. Fans wanted more and Disney said no until their backs were against the wall and they had to.

I don’t mind the delay if they realized this was just The Mandolorian with OBW and baby Luke:beli:

I know this is blasphemy but they really need to retcon OBW not seeing Vader until ANH

this show should be about Vader hunting down OBW with them even meeting a few times while OBW is spying for the rebels, saving force users, etc

Terrible idea,

Mandolorian is a western

OBW should be a samurai ronan series. No need for Vader. Obi wan main villian should be Jabba or other gangsters, Should have him attempt to take on the local crime lords and bounty hunters to try to make tatooine safer for Luke. Free some slaves here,destroy a drug trade there. develop his rep as a crazy old hermit. Meanwhile struggling to maintain his secret. that's enough material for a single season.

Take it with a grain of salt, as these are just rumors:


Obi Wan and Vader meet and fight several times in the he series?
don't how i feel about this. Vader made it clear that Mustafar was the last time they met in a new hope.
at least thats how i interpret the line. "last time we met i was but the learner, now i am the master."
Be weird if he felt like he was the learner a couple weeks prior to the events of the movie. When does this series take place? maybe if its still relatively soon after revenge of the sith that would be better.

The series is pretty much a direct sequel to Revenge of the Sith. This actress is playing Luke's aunt Beru, so it's clearly taking place earlier when his aunt and uncle were younger.

Thats the same actress from revenge of the sith, so that further confirms this probably takes place like 15 years after the movie and only 4 years before a new hope.
