I’m trying to keep a stiff upper lip in the face of some less than stellar news featuring one of my more than favorite handsome Jedi pals Obi-Wan Kenobi, as his television series, slated to enter production this year and debut on Disney Plus shortly thereafter, has been delayed indefinitely and the crew has been sent home.

Rumors had started to circulate that the Jedi Knight’s post-Revenge of the Sith exploits may be in jeopardy despite positive news, like Drive screenwriter Hossein Amini penning the script and The Mandalorian‘s Deborah Chow entering the director’s chair, falling into place recently. However, it seems things have now come to a halt, with Collider’s sources saying that it’s all due to Kathleen Kennedy, who’s said to be displeased with the scripts. No timetable has been given for when the show will resume production, either.

This isn’t the first Star Wars project to encounter pre-or-mid production woes, of course. We all know that Rogue One‘s entire third act was reshot and not by the original director, we know that Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were fired from Solo halfway through production, we’ve learned that The Rise of Skywalker was retooled late in the day and that Palpatine wasn’t even supposed to be in it at all.
