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.
