While the Obi-Wan show on Disney+ still doesn't have an official name or release date, we know now who will be directing the series. Lucasfilm announced that Deborah Chow would be its director. Chow is no stranger to the Star Wars universe. She directed a couple of The Mandalorian episodes, which is another Disney+ show but one that's in post-production with a second season already in the pipeline. Chow has also done episodes for Marvel's Jessica Jones and Iron Fist as well as Amazon Prime's The Man in the High Castle.

'Solo: A Star Wars Story' spin-off is reportedly in the works for Disney+

By Star Wars standards, Solo: A Star Wars Story was considered a box office flop. It wasn't critically acclaimed either. But the hardcore fans have been clamouring for a sequel. The #MaleSolo2Happen hashtag on Twitter has been picking up some steam as well as people have started to discover the movie and find that they like it. Star Wars Unity reports that a spinoff of sorts might be in the works for the Disney+ streaming service. Disney or Lucasfilm isn't officially confirming the rumours.

Rumours claim the project might be a movie, but it might not contain any of the iconic heroes from the last project. The focus might be on the enemy or "the Crimson Dawn and other scoundrels." It's believed that the scrapped Mos Eisley movie may have been "repurposed" for a potential Solo spinoff for the service. With no new Star Wars movie set to come out after the current trilogy ends this year, fans will be asking for content. And this might be one of them that we could anticipate. For now, we know Disney+ has The Mandalorian, the Rogue One prequel series, and the Obi-Wan Kenobi show on the way. Lucasfilm might be waiting to see how the announced programs are received before they reveal other plans.
