Disney+ date , The Clone Wars trailer and Kenobi on hold

Kicking off today with the great news that Disney have just announced that the Disney+ release date has now been brought forward by one week so will now be live in the UK on 24th March! Finally!

Really looking forward to having this. All of the Star Wars and all of the Marvel in the same place and a major upgrade to the currently available Disney Life.

Although it actually starts before Disney+ hits the UK I am really excited for the final season of The Clone Wars. A new trailer has just been released


In sadder news it appears that the Kenobi TV series for Disney+ is now on hold. Recently we had rumours that it was cancelled which was proven to not be true but it looks like there is an issue anyway. Reports are that the production crew were all sent home from Pinewood Studios. It is also rumoured Kathleen Kennedy was not happy with the scripts. It is better for them to delay things and get it right rather than rush something out there and create a disaster especially given how picky the Star Wars fan base is these days. It sounds like the story line was also a problem with it being too similar to The Mandalorian with Obi-Wan looking out for young Luke Skywalker. Defending the child can't really work twice. The other worrying this is that they might have decided to cut the length of the series so we have may now gone from a movie to a six hour series which is now rumoured to be down to a four hour series.

More news will be reported as and when I hear more.
