Disney+ Launch Turned Obi-Wan Kenobi Into a Series Says Lucasfilm President

Following the release of Solo: A Star Wars Story, there seemed to be a change at Lucasfilm that saw a number of future projects being put on the backburner or being scrapped entirely. One project that seemed to be in uncertain territory was an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie that would have followed solo and brought Ewan McGregor back to Star Wars as the Jedi master. Now of course we are getting ready to see McGregor and Hayden Christensen in the series Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has revealed how the launch of Disney+ played a big part in the project’s transition from movie to series.
