We’ve gotten a glimpse of some new “old” Star Wars favorites in latest The Mandalorian trailer. And Ewan McGregor has been lying to Star Wars fans for 4 years. It’s time for Hot Takes!HOT TAKES:Game of Thrones Creators No Longer Attached to Oversee Trilogyhttps://variety.com/2019/film/news/game-of-thrones-creators-star-wars-trilogy-exit-1203386590/ “Game of Thrones” creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss will no longer write or produce a trilogy of “Star Wars” movies, Variety has confirmed. The pair attributed the departure to their upcoming Netflix projects. “We love Star Wars. When George Lucas built it, he built us too,” they said in a statement. “Getting to talk about Star Wars with him and the current Star Wars team was the thrill of a lifetime, and we will always be indebted to the saga that changed everything. But there are only so many hours in the day, and we felt we could not do justice to both Star Wars and our Netflix projects. So we are regretfully stepping away.” Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy remarked, “David Benioff and Dan Weiss are incredible storytellers. We hope to include them in the journey forward when they are able to step away from their busy schedule to focus on Star Wars.” A New Mandalorian Trailer!https://www.starwars.com/news/the-mandalorian-trailer-2 “They said you were coming. They said you were the best in the parsec.” The Mandalorian is, indeed, on its way, arriving on Disney+ on November 12. And tonight we’re watching the latest trailer for the first Star Wars live-action series again and again. Bounty hunting is a complicated profession, but it’s not difficult to see why we’re so excited for this footageB2 Battle DroidClone Wars Era Command ShipTrandoshansEwan McGregor Says Years of Lying About Reprising ‘Star Wars’ Role Was ‘Embarrassing’https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-news/ewan-mcgregor-star-wars-doctor-sleep-ellen-905119/“It’s awkward because the studios and the franchises, they want to keep everything totally secret, of course, which I understand,” McGregor explained. “But as the person being asked over and over and over again, ‘Are you? Would you do it again, would you do it again?’ And I’m already talking to them about it, but I can’t say that I am. So like for four years I was saying, ‘Well, I’d be happy to do it again if they — I’m just waiting for the call’ … It was embarrassing.”McGregor earlier said that the original plan was for a standard movie, but now the Kenobi series will be 6, 1 hour episodes.

We know, we know… everyone’s heard the Kenobi rumors before. But this week, more specifics came out and were verified by several reputable sources. We’ll break down the rumors, talk about what Obi Wan has been doing on Tatooine, and what this series might be all about. For years, Star Wars fans have been clamoring for the return of Obi Wan Kenobi in his own film. A little over a year ago, the consensus was that we are the verge of an announcement, when Ewan MacGregor made an appearance at the red carpet premiere of Solo: A Star Wars Story. But the box office challenges of the film seemed to put a halt on future projects, Kenobi included. But recent reports have suggested the story may be poised to continue in serial form on Disney+. Now, a plethora of new sources are claiming that not only is the series a “go,” but that MacGregor may actually be directing several episodes. We’ve got the details, what has been happening with the Canon Kenobi, and 5 theories for the series.Jordan Maison of Cinelinx.com reported Thursday that “According to two separate sources, I’ve heard that Ewan McGregor has actually put pen to paper and inked a contract to return as the iconic Jedi Master. I heard word of this recently, but I was sitting on it until, out of the blue, a second source reached out to me (I hadn’t gone digging on this one) saying the exact same thing....Again, this shouldn’t come as a surprise considering how open McGregor has been in his desire to return to the Star Wars franchise. What’s interesting to me, however, is the timing. While development on the Obi-Wan project has been in the early stages since the beginning of this year (according to StarWarsNewsNet), locking in a contract means they’re really moving forward on it.”Update: Incredibly happy to add to this report that Deadline, Variety, and The Hollywood Reporter have all independently confirmed our story from this morning. Hopefully this means we’ll get some official announcement from Lucasfilm sooner rather than later.Kenobi writes a journal for Luke Skywalker while in his exile on TatooineFor those fans going by nothing but the films, one of the biggest changes made to the Star Wars canon is the introduction of the journals of old Ben Kenobi. Their first appearance came in the pages of Marvel's Star Wars #7 (2015), the canonical comic book that has already made massive changes to the Star Wars mythology. This particular issue from Jason Aaron and Simone Bianchi began with the above passage. It revealed that during his years in exile on Tatooine, Obi-Wan made sure to record his experiences and wisdom for Luke Skywalker to someday read. Which he is shown doing in the cockpit of his X-wing, explaining where a great deal of Luke's knowledge about the Jedi and the Force came from. It's an unexpected method for Kenobi to essentially 'teach' his student, and one that provided several key insights into his life. Kenobi didn’t begin his time on Tatooine as a hermitObi-Wan's journals confirm that he began his time on Tatooine living like most locals: frequenting the markets as much as any inabitant of the harsh world. So it's possible that Obi-Wan--sorry, Old Ben made connections and friend at first... before he realized using his gifts risked more for the innocent than it gained, and he committed to a solitary existence.Kenobi Brings and End to the Story of Shmi SkywalkerHe'd gone to Shmi Skywalker's grave to apologize for losing her son. He had never met her, knew her only from Anakin's stories, but Qui-Gon had made her a promise and Obi-Wan hadn't been able to keep it. As he stood there, looking at the stone, he felt an even deeper shame. Qui-Gon had left her there a slave, and Obi-Wan had done everything in his power to prevent Anakin's return.Kenobi Communes with Qui Gon Jin’s Force GhostObi-Wan let go of Ben Kenobi's house... and broke through the wall between life and death... His senses were sharp. He could hear every sound at once, and also none of them. It took him a moment to focus on the voice he wanted most to hear... Obi-Wan had only a moment before he was wrenched back into the physical world, but it was long enough to renew his hope. "Obi-Wan," said Qui-Gon Jinn. He was sure the voice was stronger this time. "Let go."Kenobi Wages War Against the Tusken RaidersSurvival on Tatooine means bartering for what you need, and for Obi-Wan, that means communicating with the infamous Jawas. They're as shrewd as it gets, but their size makes them vulnerable to Tusken Raider attacks. If fans want some action to go along with their drama, look no further than Star Wars #15, when Obi-Wan takes on a gang of the scavengers all by himself--and without his lightsaber. No wonder they flee in fear when he makes his original Star Wars introduction.Kenobi Saves Luke’s Life More than OnceThe movies may suggest that Obi-Wan has merely observed Luke Skywalker as he grew from an infant to a teenager, but the Star Wars comics reveal he had a far more hands-on approach. After all, Tatooine is a harsh place for anyone, let alone two innocent moisture farmers raising a troublesome little Force-sensitive. In the pages of Star Wars #7 Obi-Wan steps in to use his Jedi Mind Trick on a band of Jabba the Hutt's 'tax collectors.' While helpful, Owen Lars eventually lets Obi-Wan know that he's aware of his interference, direct and indirect, in the above exchange (from Jason Aaron and Mike Mayhew's Star Wars #15). How could an Obi-Wan series even resist showing these never-before-seen moments? "Ever since you showed up, mine is the only house for kilometers that's never been attacked by Sand People. That was never raided by Jabba's thugs.""Sounds to me like you've been rather blessed, Owen. The Force works in mysterious ways."Kenobi Becomes Tatooine’s Most WantedThe former Jedi Master may have kept his lightsaber concealed when taking on a gang of Tusken Raiders, but Obi-Wan does have to use it in combat at least once. As we mentioned above, Obi-Wan used his gifts to keep the Lars family free from Jabba's intimidation (among other small acts of defiance). Over time, the strange old man living out on the edges of the Dune Sea became a problem Jabba needed to solve... by hiring a bounty hunter to find him, and kill him. Obviously the bounty hunter got more than he bargained for in Star Wars #20, but the idea that even BEN Kenobi had criminals who wanted him dead only adds to his legacy as a fearsome soldier.The Great DroughtThe early excerpts from the journals of old Ben Kenobi find him just a few years into his exile, when his life as a Jedi remains fresh in his memory. It also presents the greatest test of his heart, spirit, and duty to protect Luke unseen... thanks to the coming of 'The Great Drought.' A time when moisture is running out on Tatooine, Jabba's grasp on the weakest tightens, and people are dying every day because of it. As a Jedi who spent most of his adult life (seen through the Star Wars films and The Clone Wars) helping those in need, being forced to turn a blind eye to suffering takes a toll. The question at the heart of the above passage--how Obi-Wan Kenobi forced himself to abandon the galaxy--might be the most compelling in his entire life's story. It's told beautifully in the comics, but adapting it to the live-action canon would forge an even stronger connection between Obi-Wan's struggle and Luke Skywalker's own exile in The Last Jedi."You never trained me for this, Master Qui-Gon. you never taught me how to fade away."Twin Sunshttps://screenrant.com/star-wars-obiwan-kenobi-tatooine-exile/ Kenobi Series Theorieshttps://screenrant.com/star-wars-obiwan-kenobi-tatooine-exile/ 5.

And apparently every theme in the history of Star Wars films will be present in The Rise of Skywalker.  It’s time for Hot Takes!Rian Johnson: New Star Wars Trilogy to Move Beyond Legacy Charactershttps://observer.com/2019/08/star-wars-rian-johnson-trilogy-knives-out-tiff/Getting a movie made is such a laborious process that any film that actually makes it to the screen is a minor miracle. So for Rian Johnson to boast one of the Toronto International Film Festival’s most anticipated premieres with the murder mystery Knives Out, while also working on a discreet new series of Star Wars movies for Lucasfilm, you know he must possess that “it” factor Hollywood craves. While speaking to Observer ahead of Knives Out‘s debut next month (when we’ll have additional coverage of the film and more from Johnson), he discussed the freedom both projects afford him as a storyteller.“I think that the fun and challenging part of it is to dive in, figure out what’s exciting and then figure out what it’s going to be,” he said. “We’re doing something that steps beyond the legacy characters. What does that look like? To me, the blue sky element of it is what was most striking about it. I know the way that I’m coming at it and what’s fun about it for everyone in Lucasfilm is figuring out, ‘what’s the next step?’ It really makes you think and figure out what the essence of Star Wars is for me and what that will look like moving forward.Benioff and Weiss Could Be Scaling Back Their Star Wars Series After New Deal with Netflixhttps://www.syfy.com/syfywire/benioff-weiss-scaling-back-star-wars-netflix-dealThe Hollywood Reporter just released a new piece analyzing Benioff and Weiss' Netflix deal and the soundness of the streamer's investment in the showrunners, who

Is Rian Johnson's Star Wars trilogy dead? Last week, Disney announced its future slate of movies including three "untitled" Star Wars films being released December 2022, 2024 and 2026. Along with this announcement, came the returning questions about Rian Johnson's previously announced trilogy.YouTubers and bloggers immediately began declaring that these announced films could only be the highly anticipated series being written and produced by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, the producers of the mega-hit TV series Game of Thrones. But could all of this really mean that Rian Johnson's trilogy is dead? Or is this nothing more than wishful thinking from haters of The Last Jedi? We separate fact from fiction and throw in a little informed speculation to determine what we believe is and isn't going on. TIME STAMPS:00:00:00 - Making Star Wars Podcast Network00:00:41 - Introduction to Episode 71 of Tatooine Sons: A Star Wars Podcast00:06:37 - Last Week's Podcast Poll of the Week Results00:11:31 - Hot Takes!00:31:49 - No!

Up until now, fans have almost exclusively seen Star Wars from the perspective of the Rebellion and the Jedi. But Tie Fighter aims to make heroes of the Empire. Source: https://screenrant.com/star-wars-tie-fighter-comic-rebels/Pedro Pascal, who played Oberyn Martell on the fourth season of HBO’s Game of Thrones, believes that the fantasy mega series owes its popularity to Star Wars. “I see enormous parallels between the world of Star Wars and the world of Game of Thrones,” Pascal said. “Game of Thrones might not exist if not for Star Wars, in the way that this world-building genre [took] science fiction to a new level in the way that Game of Thrones takes fantasy to a new level. And the way that it represents such concrete realities that we live in, although the irony being that it’s science fiction and fantasy.” Games of Thrones is becoming more and more connected to Star Wars. Gwendoline Christie (who played Captain Phasma in the Sequel Trilogy) and Emilia Clarke (who played Qira in Solo: A Star Wars Story)  are stars of the series. And of course the shows producers are currently “crafting” a series of Star Wars films.Source: https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-mandalorians-pedro-pascal-shares-the-common-thread-1834640225Chris Avellone, best known for his work on the wildly popular Knights of the Old Republic video game, has been announced to be a writer for the highly anticipated Jedi: Fallen Order being released this November. And while this will make many Star Wars fans happy, his recent comments regarding The Last Jedi are sure to ruffle some feathers. In an interview with VideoGameChronicle.com, Avellone said: “I thought that portrayal of Luke Skywalker was very weak. I thought they gave him a scapegoat role that wasn’t merited and didn’t fit with his character, in my opinion. I like the fact that they were playing around with it, but at the same time I didn’t like the execution and I thought it could have been handled a lot better or differently.” Avellone went on to say that he felt that many of the characters and plot decision were subpar. “I also thought it was a case of comedy goes too far, side characters and massive detour plots were rapidly introduced… I liked what they were trying to do, I just didn’t like how it was executed.”Source: https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/jedi-fallen-order-writer-didnt-like-last-jedis-execution/Check out our website: https://www.tatooinesons.com/Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/tatooine-sonsCheck out our Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/tatooinesonsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TatooineSonsLike us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TatooineSonsCheck out our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tatooinesons
