As production for the UNTITLED HAN SOLO STAR WARS ANTHOLOGY FILM soldiers on, The Hollywood Reporter is now saying that a stand-alone STAR WARS film based on the character Obi-Wan Kenobi is in the works with BILLY ELLIOT's Stephen Daldry in early talks to direct.

For the moment, the film is in active development but does not have a script. If the deal goes through, Daldry will oversee the development process and writing with Lucasfilms in his corner. At this time, we have no idea if Ewan McGregor will return to reprise his role as the young Jedi master.
