there can only be one post-ewan, pre-guinness obi-wan:
Sure if Ewan is dead or can't do it for some reason. Literally no reason to use him otherwise, as good as he mightve been.
It would be interesting to see how Disney would do a Star Wars film set shortly after the prequels. I've read people like the Clone Wars stuff but I really don't want to see anything like the prequels but if Disney could do something that doesn't remind me of that era so badly, I would give it a shot.
Obi Wan and Jedis need to ditch the robes though unless he is on Tatooine or somewhere similar. Annoyed me greatly.
So, in a New Hope when Vader says "I haven't felt that presence since......." in regards to Obi Wan, when was that? They can't have Obi Wan fighting across the galaxy while Vader is stomping around if he hasn't seen him since Revenge of the Sith.

The Star Wars universe is an unfathomably vast place which is home to billions of billions of enormous worlds. If Obi-Wan were to leave Tatooine on an emergency mission for a few days, it would be perfectly natural for Vader never to encounter him off-world.
If Kenobi were to leave Tatooine for a spin-off, I wouldn't want to see any other iconic characters, actually. The movie would have to be Obi Wan's story. That means no contrived encounters with Vader and a brand new story featuring brand new planets and original characters. I don't want the guy teaming up with Boba Fett and Watto to take down the first Death Star.

What would the plot even be? Obi-wan was supposed to have disappeared, as far as anyone else knew, for that time, right?

I'd take a Road Warrior style movie set on Tatooine where Obi-Wan wanders into a situation, helps out while trying to remain low key, then walks off into the twin sunset.

Every time this topic comes up I post the same thing.
I need a Yojimbo inspired movie of Ewan as Obi-Wan.

I always imagined Obi-Wan was on Tatooine that whole time, ready to pounce in case Vader ever found out about his son. He was there, meditating and talking with his old master to know how to handle the situation.
I mean, that's the thing. The prequels were already "obi-wan movies". We already got that backstory.

Not really. They should have been for sure. But they weren't.

They've got to do it. We want it. Ewan wants it.
Ugh. That fashionable beard and hair. He's not young Han Solo is he? If so, lol

Yeaah he is
pffft you think the guy who was defeated by a blind man
can take on this gurl?
She eats mandalorians for breakfast.
In my honest opinion. Boba can't carry a film alone. He needs to be paired with Solo in a cat and mouse game. That'd be awesome
As for an Obi Movie. It's McGregor or no one.

Charlie Day would be a good Obi Wan.
Oh That's right, Maul is alive in Canon.
Have him break hell in Mos Espa to lure Obi Wan out.
I'd watch that movie

An Ewan OB1 movie would be amaze balls. I want to see it happen. It must happen.
Bringing back a live action Darth Maul would be a bold move, but you could also feature Duel of the Fates..hmm
lol true that. If it happened it would have to be clumsy and sad; Vader tries to turn Ahsoka Tano to the dark side only to have Boba Fett accidentally disintegrate instead of stun while Sheev cackles

If we get some thing like this I am in
God that looks like shit. The prequel-based lightsaber fights are piss awful.
Fun Fact: I would single handedly battle an army of a thousand Droidekas to get my hands on that statue. Alas, I was too poor at the time they were first released and now they've long since sold out.
Lucasfilm, hire this man.

I agree. I know it's keeping with the spirit of the prequels, but the twirly saber fights are one of the few things I dislike about The Clone Wars.

The Clone Wars fight scenes are crazy good.

Im down, ewan Mcgreggor was one of the only good aspects of the prequel trilogy. It would even be cool to see a movie like fury road whete mcgreggor is the most important side character to another character on tattooine.

McGregor was absolutely perfect casting; the best new thing about the prequels (McDirmaid beats him but was of course in ROTJ). Disney should definitely move on this while McGregor is in a good position age-wise to front a full action/adventure movie and all that.

I hated Kenobi's characterisation in the prequels, all he did was get pissy at Anakin. McGregor with a decent script would be good, but it's not a film I would care about much, even though Obi's my favourite character.
