Ever since Disney announced they were making anthology Star Wars instalments, fans have been wondering when the inevitable Obi-Wan Kenobi spin-off would come.
Meanwhile, the next instalment in the main saga, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, reaches cinemas this week, a selection of social media reviews having been posted.
Should filming begin January 2019, that would align with the schedules of other Star Wars projects, which have filmed in January for a December the following year release.
While there’s no confirmation Daldry has the job, nor that the project definitely revolves around Obi-Wan Kenobi, the stars certainly seem aligned for that to be the case.
