'Star Wars' Spin Off Movies, Obi-Wan Kenobi Standalone Film Franchise? [RUMORS] Reports Suggest 3 New Films In The Works

We've heard the rumors of a possible Obi-Wan Kenobi standalone movie being one of the Star Wars spin off films coming from Disney and Lucasfilm either in 2016 or later, but new speculation has added on to that claim - literally! Apparently there are new rumors claiming a Kenobi spin off would eventually become a new trilogy franchise for the studios on top of the newest one, which is starting next year with Episode VII. Perhaps the Obi-Wan movies will have epic titles like the Star Wars films, too!

According to a new report from Cinelinx (which admits that none of this information could be confirmed, three standalone Obi-Wan Kenobi films will be released) but not as a trilogy (somehow). They will be set between Episode III and IV, so maybe Ewan McGregor will reprise his role!

If anything, the new rumor just furthers the previous rumor of a Kenobi standalone project. Whether it'll be one, two, or three movies, we're sure fans would be more than happy to see this great character return!

So far all we know about the spin off films is that Josh Trank and Gareth Edwards will respectfully helm a project. We don't know what the subjects will be, but now this Kenobi rumor popped up, so that's a possibility. Other rumors suggest a Han Solo, Boba Fett, Yoda, even Darth Vader, but nothing has been confirmed from Disney and/or Lucasfilm.
