Obi-Wan Kenobi could be the next character to get their own stand-alone movie in the ever growing Star Wars franchise.

Star Wars movies, more of there will be. LucasFilm and Disney are already planning to release Episode 8 this December, along with a stand alone Han Solo movie. Now, another character from the original 3 movies is getting their own back story.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the project is at a very early stage but has already attracted the Oscar-nominated film-maker Stephen Daldry, who is in negotiations to direct. If he joins the film, he will develop from script level with Lucasfilm.

We haven’t gotten any sort of official announcement from Disney or Lucasfilm about this yet.
