a prequel to...? episode 4?

movie seems absolutely pointless.

there is no material to make a quality movie if it's between 3 and 4.

obi wan went into seclusion immediately after episode 3.

rogue one may have been pointless too but at least it had a story.

based on potential, definitely not.

1-3 was basically a prequel for obi wan.

we don't know much about solo pre episode 4.

Ok, maybe Obi-Wan won't be flipping around fighting sith lords, but there's plenty of material for a lower-stakes, character-driven story.

Guy just had his world turned upside-down overnight. His friends are dead or in exile. He just (thinks he) had to kill his suddenly-evil best friend. He's gotta live on desert crimeworld for the next ~20 years.

Oh, and then there's the ghost of his old master showing up to teach him the secret to immortality.

Lose the action scenes (well, maybe have a couple related to Hutt criminal movement or sand people raids) and there's a movie hiding here that I'd be happy to watch.

Better idea than Han for sure.

The more I think about it, a Han prequel can only go one way: he was some naive heroic type who got jaded because some bad stuff happened, which is a terrible backstory for Han.

Well I guess there's also just making a movie with no character development and no reason to watch, but I doubt they'll do that.

Or I guess hey could also make it actually about another character but have Han just hangs around to put butts in seats, as if a Star Wars film needs the help.

But yeah for Ben Kenobi, they're gonna at least have to come up with a decent reason for the affair to not even warrant a footnote in the OT. So, some sort of top secret mission I guess. But at least Ben has room for satisfactory character development.

Says who? Whatever the EU had him do during those times is no longer canon, and I don't recall them mentioning what he did explicitly in the new canon about what he did in particular other than mediate with Qui-Gon Jinn and keep an eye on Luke. Sounds like they could easily pad something in there for the 18 year gap, even if just an adventure that took a week or two of that time. And then when episode 4 came about, it's not like he told Luke everything that he did.

Obi could have easily left briefly to get rid of a perceived threat to Luke's anonymity.

There's easily a movie that could be made from this, particular with Ewan Mcgregor. Dude's great.

obi wan did SHIT during the gap between 3 and 4 because Jedi's were being hunted all over the galaxy. his only purpose was to stay on tattoine and watch over luke.

it's common sense and you don't need any more than that. if obi wan got involved in any capacity he would have brought immediate danger to himself and luke.

you want to watch an obi wan Kenobi movie where he doesn't use the force or a lightsaber?

cause that's what it would be since he was trying to go off grid to prevent being detected by the Empire and Vader.

him killing maul was needed to just end his ridiculous arc, and it happens just before episode 4.

I don't mind the spin offs but an obi wan set inbetween 3 and 4 would just cause too many problems within continuity.

at least with a solo movie you can get the story on how he actually became a smuggler and obtained the millennium falcon.

In the old EU (not sure if it carried over to the new canon) it's said (by Luke I believe) that both the sand people, and Jabba the Hutt's men give Obi-Wan's homestead on the Dune Sea a very wide berth

That sounds like there's a story there

in the comics, they explain that he continues to live in seclusion but at the same time does partake in very small acts of heroism.

like protecting jawas from sand people.

but never really gets directly involved with tatooine affairs or with the likes of the hutts.

uncle Owen actually visits him and yells at him because his acts are drawing unnecessary attention to his family, including luke.

again, there just isn't material for a movie that takes place between 3 and 4 about obi wan.

Says you. Again, we're talking about an 18-year gap if they decide to make it between episodes 3 and 4. Would it really be that far-fetched for him to have been involved in one adventure, either on Tatooine or needing to go off world for an emergency that he couldn't ignore?

because the Empire was actively seeking JEDI. They knew a handful managed to escape order 66.

Vader knew Kenobi survived and the only reason Vader could never find Ben was because he lived in seclusion.

It doesn't make any sense in any way to suddenly have Kenobi get a space ship and travel off world and take part in any act that would complicate himself and most importantly luke.

Read the comics, they are 100% canon and shows Ben struggling to live a life of seclusion and the only things he does to help the helpless is protect jawas and beat up sand people.

He only appears against Maul because Maul knew about Luke (i.e the "chosen one") and used the threat to draw Kenobi out to settle the score once and for all.

Kenobi was never reckless or dumb. He would never do anything to put Luke in danger.
