While there is no confirmation from Lucasfilm, the producers of the series, or its parent company, Disney, Deadline has a well-earned reputation for providing early scoops that turn out to be concrete fact. The claim that Kenobi will receive his own entry in the franchise that now comprises eight movies in release and no less than two in production, comes along with the report that Disney is in early talks with director Stephen Daldry (“The Hours,” “Billy Elliot” and “The Crown”) to helm the production.
