Every In Development (& Rumoured) Star Wars Movie & TV Show - Ranked

6. Obi-Wan TV Show

Obi Wan Kenobi Revenge of the Sith
Lucasfilm

Status: Rumoured

Ever since Disney announced they were making anthology movies, an Obi-Wan Kenobi spin-off has been rumoured. Even just last year, there were reports of it being ready to go into production, with Ewan McGregor previously enthusiastic about reprising his role.

After Solo, though, Disney have seemingly scrapped plans for those anthology movies, but Obi-Wan may still be of interest, with it being one of the stand-out rumours of what Disney have in the works for its streaming service.

As with many of these, there's an issue of so much of this being covered previously. There are a couple of things to stand this apart though: one is the likelihood that McGregor would return, and his Obi-Wan is brilliant. But more is that Obi-Wan himself is such a great character: we know he ends up duelling Maul and eventually with Luke, but there's got to be something worth telling with one of the saga's best characters for a limited series.
