In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Ewan McGregor revealed that according to the current plan, shooting for Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi is scheduled to start next spring.

The first rumors about the project dedicated to master Kenobi appeared in 2018, even before the spinoff on the young Han Solo was released. With the rest, several possible films were mentioned then, set between the already known plot threads and focused on specific characters. After the poor performance of Han Solo: A Star Wars Story, all rumors fell silent. The official Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi teaser was released last year.
