Lucasmovie has confirmed plans to create an Obi-Wan Kenobi series dedicated to Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. According to Deadline, the official announcement on this topic was made during the D23 Expo. "All scripts have already been written, and we are ready to start movieing next year. We look forward to this moment", - said Lucasmovie President Kathleen Kennedy. The presentation also featured British actor Ewan McGregor, who played Obi-Wan in the second Star Wars trilogy. “Ask me if I'm ready to play Obi-Wan again,” he asked the audience rhetorically. The release date of the pilot season has not yet been announced. Note that initially Lucasmovie studio intended to shoot a full-length spin-off, dedicated to Obi-Wan, but after the uncertain release of the movie about Han Solo, plans were adjusted.
