      Is this why a Star Wars Obi-Wan spin-off hasn't been announced?

      When it was announced that the ‘Star Wars’ saga would continue with Episodes 7, 8 and 9, and expand with spin-off movies, many expected Obi-Wan Kenobi to be the subject of one. On the latest episode of the Rebel Force Radio podcast (via Geek Tyrant), Entertainment Weekly writer Anthony Breznican said: “I have heard rumors that the one reason they haven’t moved sooner on Obi-Wan is that they’re not done with Obi-Wan quite yet in the Saga films.

      Forget Han Solo, This Obi-Wan Kenobi 'Star Wars Story' Is the Movie We're Looking For

      Filling in the blanks between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope had been an Olympic-worthy sport for Star Wars fans for years. While some details have recently been sketched in by the animated series Star Wars Rebels, that 30-year period remains fertile ground for storytellers, with the standalone Rogue One and the solo Han Solo movie along with tie-in novels mining that era.

      Star Wars Characters That Could Return In Rogue One Spin-Off

      A fourth ‘Star Wars’ prequel is on its way, but don’t worry, it’s shaping up pretty well. Welsh director Gareth Edwards’ 'Rogue One’ will tell the story of how the Rebels acquired the plans for the original Death Star. The marketing team behind the film would certainly love to be able to slap Darth Vader on the movie’s posters, but would he fit into a story that we know will be more grounded than the mainline films?

At the time it’s a quick, disorientating montage of Kylo Ren standing over slain bodies, a cloaked Luke Skywalker reaching towards R2-D2, and a younger version of Rey being abandoned on Jakku. Well Abrams has confirmed that they include a number of original cast members from both trilogies.

      Toshiro Mifune Turned Down Star Wars Over Fears It Would Look ‘Cheap’

      Legendary Japanese star Toshiro Mifune rejected offers from George Lucas to appear in the original ‘Star Wars’ film because he believed “it would cheapen the image of samurai”. “I heard from my father that he was offered the role of Obi Wan Kenobi, but he was concerned about how the film would look and that it would cheapen the image of samurai, on which George Lucas had based a lot of the character and fighting style,” said Mifune. Toshiro Mifune appeared in over 170 movies including ‘Rashoman’, ‘Seven Samurai’, and ‘Yojimbo’ and collaborated frequently with Akira Kurosawa whose films were a huge influence on George Lucas.
