Ewan McGregor: Disney+'s Obi-Wan Kenobi series delay won't affect the release date

IGN

"It’s just slid to next year, that’s all," the actor told IGN hours after news broke that the Obi-Wan series would be delayed for retooling. "The scripts were really good. Now that Episode IX came out and everyone at Lucasfilm has got more time to spend on the writing, they felt they wanted more time to write the episodes. I’ve read about eighty, ninety percent of what they’ve written so far, and it’s really, really good. Instead of shooting this August, they just want to start shooting in January, that's all. Nothing more dramatic than that. It often happens in projects, they just wanted to push it to next year. It will have the same release date, I don’t think it will affect the release date. They are still shooting towards having the film release when it was going to be originally."
