Source: Obi-Wan Kenobi TV Series Might Only Have 4 Episodes
Awaiting edits to the plot of Disney+’s new TV series Obi-Wan Kenobi casting Ewan McGregor as the leading actor might get only 4 episodes that were initially expected to have 6.
The TV show Obi-Wan Kenobi by Lucasfilm is reportedly getting apparent alterations, and that is the decreasing the counts of its episodes. Theories on the upcoming TV series casting the most anticipated Jedi Master is being spread throughout years, however, Lucasfilm eventually verified in 2019 that the show is coming for real. The TV series was officially introduced at D23 along with the declaration that Ewan McGregor would be the actor to portray as Obi-Wan. He is again showing up in the upcoming Disney+ shows, along with The Mandalorian. Deborah Chow is directing the new series with initially having a total of six episodes.
At the time, Lucasfilm introduced the news regarding the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, also stated that most of the script was completed, and filming will start in 2020. The Disney+ show might release in 2021 launch on. Bu t, the latest depressing rumors regarding Obi-Wan Kenobi’s production have driven out to be right. When Lucasfilm should have fully dedicated to the production Obi-Wan Kenobi TV show, the studio has left the Obi-Wan Kenobi show suspended by reason of worry about the show’s plot. This unclear holdup would not only modify the show’s plot but also decrease the counts of episodes initially decided.
Following the recent news regarding Obi-Wan Kenobi TV series is getting suspended for an indefinite period, THR and informational offered further information regarding what they got to know about the TV series sudden breakdown. As per their resources, the new planned storyline will only introduce a total of 4 episodes, which were supposedly six. Despite the fact that the production is now on hold and only four episodes will be cast, the actor Ewan McGregor still holding his place as well as Chow is also staying as the director of the show, however, a new script team is getting recruited.
The decreased number of the show’s episodes just explains the up and down of the Lucasfilm effort to put McGregor back on his foot. At one point, he was thought to play as Obi-Wan as the popular Jedi master in the Obi-Wan film, and many people wished to get a complete trilogy for the Obi-Wan movie. When some of the audience were depressed by the sad news about Obi-Wan is not coming back to the big screen, the report of Obi-Wan Kenobi is releasing on Disney+ thrilled them. When they heard the show is releasing in the form of a six-episode series as well as each episode of one hour, they become happy. Now the episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi have changed to 4 as well as one episode might last only for 30 minutes rather than being an hour-long episode if the show applies the same directions as The Mandalorian.
Still, now it is too early to believe this news of cutting down 2 episodes from the show is a wise decision or the downfall of the studio. The Obi-Wan fans would never be happy with this news since they might need to wait a bit longer for the TV show release, and they may likely strain out their interest from the series entirely.
