It'd be pretty funny if Disney and Lucasfilm decided they weren't actually going to make an Obi-Wan Kenobi standalone movie. After all, the internet has already decided that Stephen Daldry is set to direct, that a plot has been settled on and that shooting is to begin in Spring 2019. More recently, TMZ revealed a supposed synopsis, which explained that this was to be a prequel to A New Hope that shows Obi-Wan forced out of hiding on Tatooine when tensions rise “between the local farmers and a tribe of Sand People – headed by a ruthless war chief.”
