Star Wars News Today | Kenobi VS Vader Twice? | Jon Watts High Replic Show Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader rumoured to fight twice in Kenobi series: According LRM Online, Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi will face off twice in the upcoming limited-series. LRM added no additional details, but claimed the fights will be epic and could rank highly in some of the best Star Wars clashes of all time. The report from LRM follows a similar one from StarWarsTime.net back in September where they too claimed Kenobi and Vader could clash more than once in the series. Darth Vader is rumoured to not appear in the series until the third episode, with the earlier two focusing on the Inquisitors and the capture and imprisonment of a young Leia Organa, giving Obi-Wan Kenobi a lot to deal with before coming face-to-face with his former padawan. Kathleen Kennedy previously teased that the showdown between Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the Sith lord would be the rematch of the century, and from I’ve heard the final confrontation is one for the history books. The rumours and leaks surrounding the hotly anticipated limited-series from Lucasfilm are coming thick and fast in recent weeks, and show no signs of stopping on the run up to the series premiere in May. The upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series see’s the return of Ewan McGregor in the titular role, and Hayden Christensen as arguably the greatest villain of all time, Darth Vader. The series has been written by Joby Harold (Army of the Dead, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword) and will be directed entirely by Deborah Chow (The Mandalorian, Better Call Saul). The six episode series debuts it’s first episode on May 25th, the 45th anniversary of Star Wars: A New Hope. Spider-Man: No Way Home helmer Jon Watts is rumored to be in talks to direct at least one episode of a new mystery Star Wars series for Disney Plus. According to a report from Discussing Film, Watts has been invited to sit in the director's chair for at least one episode of the upcoming Star Wars series that is apparently operating under the working title of "Grammar Rodeo." Watts' involvement in the project is said to be dependent on his busy schedule, given that he's also helming Marvel's Fantastic Four. Jon Favreau is reportedly attached to executive produce following his most recent stint as a writer and executive producer on both The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. It is currently unknown who will be writing this new series but more details are expected to emerge as it nears production, with cameras currently scheduled to start rolling this summer. Cinelinx first reported on the series, describing it as a "Stranger Things in space" with a story that focuses on a "younger generation of heroes" during the High Republic era.

Louis Gossett Jr. Dies at 87 | Tribute and Farewell Louis Gossett Jr., a star of film and television who made history as the first Black man to win an Academy Award for supporting actor for his performance in “An Officer and a Gentleman,” has died at age 87, according to a statement from his family. “It is with our heartfelt regret to confirm our beloved father passed away this morning. We would like to thank everyone for their condolences at this time. Please respect the family’s privacy during this difficult time,” the family’s statement, shared by Gossett’s longtime publicist, read. Gosset made his debut on stage as a teenager after a basketball injury knocked him off the court and he signed up for an acting class, where he ended up finding his calling. His first Broadway role was at the age of 15, when he played the lead in the production “Take A Giant Step.” Gossett continued to hone in on his craft with his eyes set on Hollywood – taking acting classes alongside the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Martin Landau. But being a Black actor wasn’t easy. “I had to really learn the importance of what it takes to survive in this town, and I had to act as if I was second class,” he said. “I had to ingest the onus of being an African American person in America.” In 1961, Gossett made his film debut in “A Raisin in the Sun.” He later appeared in several Blaxploitation films but struggled to land more the more robust roles he felt called to until 1977, when he played Fidler in the groundbreaking TV miniseries “Roots.” His performance won him an Emmy. His groundbreaking 1982 portrayal of a Marine drill instructor in “An Office and a Gentleman” followed. Gosset went on to play more tough military roles in the “Iron Eagle” movies and the miniseries, “Sadat” where he portrayed the late Egyptian leader. In 1992, he won a Golden Globe Award for playing civil rights activist Sidney Williams in HBO’s “The Josephine Baker Story.” The actor was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2010 and decided to go public with the news “to set an example for the large number of African-American men who are victims of this disease because of the comparatively low emphasis in our community on preventive examinations and early treatment.” “I want to influence them to seek, as I have, the fine medical care and early detection now available,” he said at the time.
