FRIDAY, JANUARY 24
OBI-WAN KENOBI---two sources claim Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy put the Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ miniseries on hold because the script was too similar to THE MANDALORIAN. Kennedy did not like the two scripts by Hossein Amini, and Lucasfilm was seeking a new writer. A source said, the “Kenobi story treaded similar ground as MANDALORIAN, seeing the Jedi master lending a protective hand to a young Luke and perhaps even a young Leia.” The production crew at Pinewood Studios was reportedly told pre-production was shut down "indefinitely".
However, Ewan McGregor said the reports are inaccurate, “It’s not been put on hold, it’s just been pushed back a little bit. The scripts are excellent and they just want them to be better. So we just pushed it back, but it’s not — it very dramatic, it would seem, online, there’s all kinds of sh*t online about it, but it’s only just slid back a bit. We’re still shooting it, I think it will still be aired when it was meant to be and I’m really excited about it. It’ll be fun to play again.”
McGregor later added that Lucasfilm delayed the miniseries in order to polish the scripts, “Now that Episode IX [STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER] came out and everyone at Lucasfilm has got more time to spend on the writing, they felt they wanted more time to write the episodes. I’ve read about 80, 90 percent of what they’ve written so far, and it’s really, really good. Instead of shooting this August, they just want to start shooting in January, that’s all. Nothing more dramatic than that.”
They should just adapt the Kenobi novel. The Mandalorian tried to get that cowboy/loner movie vibe, but this book does it much better . So much of Mandalorian was stilted and awkwardly written/directed ( mainly in the first 4 episodes), it's good they are taking time to work on rewrites.

Goodness, just leave Bladerunner alone already.
Only in Hollywood do they make a sequel that loses $100 million and the director says, "yeah, let's do it again"
Something that is surprisingly easy to do when you can do it with someone else's money. I am not holding my breath for the green light though.

I haven't seen MANDALORIAN, I don't have Disney +. But I'm a big Yoda fan. Is that actually Yoda in the MANDALORIAN, or just another member of Yoda's species?
This is the first other being from the still un-named species Yoda comes from, to be seen.

If they like a character that says nothing and does big things, they should just hire Genndy to do a "Star Wars: Baby Yoda" animated series.
