Star Wars Announce They’re Making a Stand-Alone Obi Wan Kenobi Film

Despite still being in the middle of filming the stand-alone Han Solo flick, Star Wars has again proved why it’s still one of the biggest franchises in the world — by already announcing the next movie it has coming up.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, director Stephen Daldry is in very early talks to helm Star Wars’ next grand plan — a stand-alone film centring on Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Daldry, who has received Oscar nominations for directing Billy Elliot, The Hours and The Reader, is currently the only person confirmed for the Jedi-centric film.

Kenobi was originally played by Alec Guinness, who died in 2000, with Scottish actor Ewan McGregor since playing the Jedi for four movies.

McGregor, whose last time as Obi-Wan was a brief cameo in the 2015 movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens, has regularly expressed his interest at returning to the role.

Tiwa Savage is set to premiere her highly anticipated debut movie, “Water & Garri.” It is scheduled for release on Prime Video on May 10th. This captivating film delves into the narrative of Aisha, played by Savage herself.

Aisha is a passionate fashion designer who finds herself compelled to return to her homeland, Nigeria, after spending a decade in the United States. The tragic loss within her family prompted this decision.

As Aisha reunites with her roots, she is confronted with a stark reality: her once familiar surroundings have undergone significant changes. The atmosphere is charged with heightened levels of violence, and tensions linger in the air.

Director Meji Alabi, known for his adept storytelling and visual talents, is at the helm of this cinematic journey. Alabi skillfully crafts the narrative. He guides the audience through Aisha’s emotional journey as she navigates the complexities of her past and present.

“Water and Garri” is a collaborative effort between Unbound Studios and JM Films.

They blend the creative visions of talented individuals to bring this compelling story to life. Behind the scenes, Comfort Emmanuel is the writer, infusing the script with depth and authenticity.

Joining Tiwa Savage in this cinematic endeavour is a talented ensemble cast including Mike Afolarin, Andrew Bunting, and Jemima Osunde. Each brings their own unique flair to their respective roles.

Beyond her on-screen portrayal of Aisha, Tiwa Savage’s involvement extends far beyond acting. She lends her creative genius to the project by crafting the original soundtrack. Furthermore, she is the executive producer, influencing the film’s artistic direction and overall vision.

“Water & Garri” is a testament to Tiwa Savage’s versatility and artistic ambition. As the release date draws near, anticipation mounts for this movie that promises to engage viewers in a compelling narrative. One that is rich with emotion, culture, and timeless themes.

By December 2024, Jenifa would be back for another round of laughs with “Everybody Loves Jenifa.” This new title hints at the universal appeal of the character and the series’ promise to deliver side-splitting comedy once again.
