Something funny is definitely going on behind the scenes of the Obi-Wan Disney Plus show. Though the initial news that Ewan McGregor would be returning to the role was met with a ton of enthusiasm and joy, the past week or so has just brought one concerning report after another.
It all began when news emerged a few days ago that said the series had been outright cancelled. That was later debunked by a separate outlet, but still, whispers continued to circulate that said there was trouble brewing over at Lucasfilm. And sure enough, Collider shed some light on the situation just a few hours ago, telling us all that the Obi-Wan show has been indefinitely delayed, with crew members sent home and Kathleen Kennedy ordering up new scripts, as the current ones weren’t up to par.
Obviously, the fandom isn’t taking this too well, and people have...
