The Obi-Wan Kenobi Movie: Why It's Already Going To Be a Different Star Wars Movie
The Verge

So, it looks like the prayers have been answered and we're going to (possibly) be getting the Obi-Wan Kenobi Movie. With Director Stephen Daldry in very early talks about directing the film, we are left with a single burning question on our lips. "What's going to happen in the movie?"

Well, I have absolutely no connections to Hollywood, so I can't say. But I can find myself pondering a lot about movie. Above all, "What story is going to be told? Is there a story to even be told?"

Well, the obvious answer is a story sometime in between episodes III and IV, with Ewan McGregor reprising his role as the Jedi Master. I however see a potential problem with this. Story wise and canonically. Obi-Wan spent that time on Tatooine, a desert planet looking after Luke Skywalker before Episode IV occurred. That's a time period of roughly 19 years or so. With this in mind, there is very little wiggle room. That's not to say there isn't a story to be told, but I just don't think it's going to be the one what everyone expects. There isn't going to be a massive lightsaber duel or the galaxy isn't going to be jeopardy at all.

But rather, I think it's going to more smaller scale story line, likely very character driven. A possible story line being Obi-Wan's journey across Tatooine to save Luke from something. With this in mind, I heavily doubt we'll even see a lightsaber appear, given how the character wants to keep such a low profile to protect Luke.

Now, what I've described isn't exactly what we'd expect from a Star Wars film. What the franchise has built itself upon is massive space battles with countless lives in danger. If the Obi-Wan movie goes the route with Ewan McGregor and taking place in between episodes III and IV, it's going to be a very different star wars film. That's not necessarily a bad thing, it's probably going to be very refreshing and unique if it's handled correctly.

But still, this is all pure speculation. The director is simply in talks, and nothing has been finalized just yet. But the overall reaction from the internet is clear. We want this movie to happen, Ewan McGregor is open to returning to the character. And if the movie comes out? I'll be among the first to get tickets. But, people just have to realize this is probably going to be a very different Star Wars movie. And that's a probably a good thing.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
