1) Obi-Wan Kenobi: The Missing Years
Here we arrive at what’s by far the most requested Star Wars anthology movie – a standalone adventure for Obi-Wan Kenobi, exploring his hermitude on Tatooine as he watches over Luke Skywalker growing up. It’s often thought that the Jedi must have been doing something over that period, and fans are convinced that there would be an awesome story to tell there. Plus, it could even lead to a role for Liam Neeson’s Qui-Gon Jin, a character who really needs to be explored beyond The Phantom Menace.
Thankfully, Ewan McGregor has said on various occasions that he would love to return to the franchise. He was one of the best things about the prequels and he’s now the perfect age to play the mid-way point between his younger portrayal in those films and Alec Guinness’ version in A New Hope. There’ve also been rumours that an Obi-Wan trilogy could be on the cards. That sounds a bit excessive to us, but at least one movie is an absolute necessity.
It’s a real shame that an Obi-Wan movie isn’t the Star Wars standalone that’s set to come out next year instead, but we can hope that – due to the constant wishes of both the fans and the actors – it’ll materialize eventually.
