Episode X-XII will be about Rey and Ben bringing back the light.
It'll be like a "what if Obi Wan and Anakin had teamed up to take on the Emperor instead of fighting each other" scenario.
That would be cool but so unlike JJ Abrams [Reply]

I would speculate that ticket sales and fan reception would determine whether or not there's a sequel or a trilogy.
I suppose that makes sense. The big question is whether he ever left Tatooine for those 20 years. If he didn't, there probably isn't really an option for extra movies. [Reply]

Again, from my understanding, KK didn’t want to announce or script an Obi Wan movie or trilogy until after episodes VIII and IX had completed their arcs because they didn’t want to trap themselves into a corner regarding Obi Wan. [Reply]

Well, if that theory video is right, it seems like Obi-Wan might be making cameos in the next couple of films anyway. [Reply]

I can't imagine they would go the tarkin route when they have Ewan ready and willing. With the money they are spending I wouldn't think they would skrimp on Obi Wan. But I know nothing about movie production. [Reply]

It probably depends in his role in VIII and IX.
Guinness and McGregor’s voices could both be heard in in VII, so if they go with a Force Ghost and they secured the rights from the Guinness family, Alec’s version seems more appropriate, IMO.

If not, we’ll likely see McGregor.
Much rather see them use Ewan. Just my own opinion. He is Obi Wan to me at this point. [Reply]

Nah, more misdirection
Luke looms over both Rey and Kylo. In Rey's, we see the red salt of Crait, which will supposedly play a major role in the film and was once a Rebel base.
In Kylo's, he's wearing the garb that we've seen in the most recent trailer.
They're basically saying that Luke is responsible for both characters and their arcs... [Reply]
