After a week of rumors about the fate of its proposed Disney+ series—focused on Ewan McGregor’s take on Jedi Master-turned-kooky-hermit Obi-Wan Kenobi—Collider and THR are both reporting today that production on the series has now been abruptly put on hold. The show’s crew has also been sent home, while the series’ scripts are being re-worked to LucasFilm’s satisfaction, after possible concerns that the original version of the show was just a little too Mandalorian-esque (centered, as it reportedly was on, Obi-Wan working to keep Baby Luke safe on Tatooine). The show’s episode order is also reportedly being struck down, only to return a little less powerful than you could possibly imagine, as it’s going from six episodes down to four.
