Some Star Wars fans want to see one of the spinoff movies focus on the Obi-Wan Kenobi character played in the original trilogy by Alec Guinness, and played in the prequel trilogy by Ewan McGregor.
Instead of waiting to see if the character will eventually gets a spinoff, these fans, Rich Williamson and Paul Holub, created a fan made teaser trailer for their own Obi-Wan spinoff titled Kenobi: A Star Wars Story, which also “stars” McGregor.
It’s only been a few days since we learned that Emperor Palpatine was rumored to return in Star Wars: Episode VII, and now we are hearing that another major character from the Star Wars universe is set to return, except this character doesn’t follow the dark side of the Force.
Latino Review has the scoop that Ewan McGregor will return to reprise his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars: Episode VII. And like the rumored Emperor Palpatine, Obi-Wan will return as a Force ghost, something he has already done in Return of the Jedi. But his return may stir up some controversy within the Star Wars community.
The New Zealand Mint is set to offer a very special new set of coins featuring the likes of some of your favorite characters from George Lucas‘s classic Star Wars series.
The first series includes eight 1oz 999 silver coins in two separate sets. The first comes in a Darth Vader helmet case (that even makes the iconic villain’s breathing sound when you open it), and features Vader, Emperor Palpatine, a Stormtrooper, and the Death Star. The second comes in a Millennium Falcon case (which makes the “jump to light speed” sound when opened), and features the dynamic duos of Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda, R2-D2 and C-3PO, and Han Solo and Chewbacca.
