Read our privacy policy Ewan McGregor has rubbished reports of creative differences on his Obi-Wan Kenobi Star Wars spin-off show. “It’s not nearly as dramatic as it sounds online.” He did confirm that the loss of Hossein Amini, who quit as lead writer, has delayed the show. “I think we start shooting early next year as opposed to summer this year,” McGregor told Variety. All good.” He said he was bemused by the concern, adding: “I didn’t realise until we got here tonight and everybody is going, ‘Oh, my God!’” When asked if there was truth to the reports that the episode count had been cut from six to four, he told ComicBook.com: “I haven’t heard that.” Disney+, which is home to Star Wars spin-off The Mandalorian, will also produce a spin-off focused on Diego Luna’s Rogue One character Cassian Andor.
