Ewan McGregor actor - Kevin Sullivan / ZUMA / VIUAL Press Agency

Star Wars fans tend to be alarmed at the slightest sign of trouble in their favorite world. So when several publications, including the very serious Hollywood Reporter, announced that the series on Obi-Wan Kenobi (in which Ewan McGregor takes over his role from the prelogy) was in danger, panic set in immediately.

Not only would the film crew have been sent home and the filming postponed before they started, but Disney would have planned to completely change the scriptwriter.

And yet, according to the star of the program… there is no reason to be alarmed!

“All this bullshit about the differences in the creative team is not true. After episode IX, everyone had time to re-read what had been written and they want to rework it. We postponed filming, but it's not as dramatic as what we say on the Internet, "he said at a press conference on the sidelines of his next film, Birds of Prey .

Your lack of faith dismays me

The Obi-Wan Kenobi series, whose official title has not yet been released, must tell what happened to the character between episodes III and IV of the saga. We know that the Jedi master, camped by Ewan McGregor in the prelogy and Alec Guinness in the original trilogy, sets up on Tattooine, the planet of Luke Skywalker, to monitor and protect the young heir to the Skywalkers, but George Lucas did not never detailed his journey during these long years.

Everything is still to be written, and obviously Disney is committed to ensuring that fans are satisfied with this aspect of the history of a cult character, after the release of an episode IX, The Rise of Skywalker , which divided the audience.
