Are you one of the manyStar Warsfans who likes the idea of anObi-Wan KenobiMovie? Disney and Lucasfilm are still sitting on their hands with this one, but a dedicated disciple of the Jedi faith has just ensured that, if you weren’t already excited about this prospect, you will be. It isn’t official artwork, but this fan poster for the possible Obi-Wan movie is incredibly awesome.
The poster made its way onto the Star Wars Subreddit and was created and posted by userTom Lathom-Sharp. This definitely goes pretty far outside whatStar Wars fansare used to in terms of posters. It is not a traditional poster. Instead, Tom Lathom-Sharp opted to do the one-sheet for the Obi-Wan movie in the style of a spaghetti western, and it is absolutely perfect.
“I decided to draw and design my own poster for anObi Wan Kenobi standalone film- in the style of a Spaghetti Western.”
Simply titledKenobi, the poster imagines that this particularStar Warsmovie would not be your standard affair in a galaxy far, far away. For one, it would be directed by George Miller (Mad Max: Fury Road), which fans would very likely have no complaints about. It also prominently featuresEwan McGregorback as Obi-Wan Kenobi, a role that he has said he would return to many times. The poster also lists a few other cast members, including Joel Edgerton, who recently expressed interest in reprising his role as Uncle Owen, Allison Williams, Liam Neeson, who would presumably be aQui-Gon Force Ghostas well as Tim Roth, who we’re guessing would be the villain. Speaking of that, there is a very Cad Bane-esque bad guy on the poster as well. SirJediPanda also included a pretty solid tagline.
“If you come toTatooine, you don’t mess with the most dangerous man on the planet.”
Despite the fact that Ewan McGregor consistently states that he would love to do an Obi-Wan movie, not to mention how popular the idea is amongstStar Warsfans, Lucasfilm has yet to pull the trigger on it. However, Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy recently said that the next standaloneStar Warsmovie, which is currently slated for release in 2020, was going to be decided on this month. With D23 and San Diego Comic-Con both coming up next month, don’t be surprised ifKenobi: A Star Wars Storygets announced.
Even if Lucasfilm wasn’t planning on announcing the nextStar Warsstandalone movie at either of those events, they may be rethinking that. Given what is going on with the youngHan Solomovie right now, they need to do whatever they can to get some positive press. So, between D23 and San Diego Comic-Con, if they drop a newStar Wars: The Last Jeditrailer and announce the Obi-Wan movie, they’ll be back in everyone’s good graces for sure. In the meantime, be sure to check out the poster for yourself below.
