"KENOBI" is an Impressive Star Wars Fan Film !



"KENOBI - A Star Wars Fan Film" is an 18min fan film with no official affiliation to Lucasfilm or Disney. Directed by Jason Satterlund and produced by James McLean & Jamie Costa, "Kenobi" is happening on Tattoine and starring Jamie Costa as Oby Wan Kenobi, Tommy Snider as Owen Lars, Maxine Phoenix as Beru Lars , Audie Rick as a young Luke Skywalker and James Arnold Taylor as Captain Leegus.

For a fan film, it's a pretty good film, no doubt. Good production, good filming and acting, and good visual effects, i just think that the editing should have been a bit more tighten specially in the first 5 minutes, but apparently Star Wars fans love it. The movie was financed by crowdfunding on Indiegogo and although it is a fan film the long list of credits at the end doesn't really looks like a cheap fan production…




Below, some posters created by fans for an Obi Wan Kenobi film ( a TV series is coming on Disney + )
