The Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ series is reportedly on hold following news that Lucasfilm president and Obi-Wan producer Kathleen Kennedy was not happy with the current scripts. As reported by Collider, the show hasn't been cancelled, but the crew that had assembled at Pinewood Studios in London was sent home and were told that the Obi-Wan show would be down "indefinitely." As for the scripts, Collider's sources have stated that "what will most likely happen next is the scripts will be reworked with the hopeful goal of reassembling this summer, but there’s always the possibility that that timeframe could shift." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/09/10/what-could-the-disney-obi-wan-kenobi-series-be-about"] THR reports that only two scripts were written so far, and "story became an issue and that the entire package has been jettisoned." THR says Lucasfilm is searching for a new writer for the series and that the original plan of six episodes is being "reconfigured" to four. One further source claims the current Kenobi story was too similar to the Mandalorian's, as Obi-Wan helping guide a young Luke or Leia would too closely mirror the tale of the Mandalorian and Baby Yoda. Disney+'s Obi-Wan Kenobi series, set to star Ewan McGregor, is hardly the first Star Wars film to have a rocky steps.
