Obi-Wan

[Morrus]

So this is coming later this year I think? Or next year? They've only just started shooting. They did a big cast announcement the other day:



But here's a look at the Tatooine set!

 

[hopeless]

Still wondering how good this might be.

 

[Snarf Zagyg]

Kumail Nanjiani ....

 

[Rob Kuntz]

Another one for the queue.

The Cantina Band are beginning to remind me of the scene in The Blues Brothers, where they get a gig in a Country bar and spend the whole night playing Rawhide. It's always the same tune, over and over and over again...

 

[ART!]

This is the D+ Star Wars series I'm the most excited for. I just like MacGregor as an actor, and I like his Obi-wan. And that cast in general seems good. Christiansen's casting was a strange surprise, but what the heck.

I wonder if we will ever know it is him. And will they get James Earl Jones to do his voice? What will Lucasfilm do when JEJ finally passes on? (Did he do Vader’s voice in Rebels? I can’t remember.)

My guess is flashbacks mainly, maybe we will see more of Anakin and Obi-Wan as he ponders the past.

Yeah, I checked on IMDB and James Earl Jones is credited in the Rebels episodes.

That's the only way I can see it happening, if only because they didn't name James Earl Jones in the cast list. Even if he were only providing the voice, it'd be weird to leave him un-credited.

Right. Especially because they cannot be sure everyone watched the animated Clone Wars series. The only Anakin they should reliably lean on is Ep 1-3, and maybe they want/need stuff that wasn't on screen in those films.
