There’s a new rumor on the streets of Disney, supposedly Ewan McGregor has walked away from the upcoming Disney+ “Star Wars” tv series about Obi-Wan Kenobi, stating Disney has cancelled the original series which will premiere on Disney+.
Have no fear Obi-Wan fans, inside sources have confirmed that the rumor is “totally inaccurate,” and that the show is still moving forward as announced last summer at Disney’s D23 Convention.
How does a rumor like this one get started? The story was falsely created by a twitter account called, “@DicsussingFilm. No, that wasn’t a typo. It’s meant to be spelled incorrectly. The account should never be taken too seriously, as it clearly states in their bio: “Parody account, not affiliated with @DiscussingFilm.”
On Wednesday, someone on the parody account thought it would be funny to tweet- “Ewan McGregor has exited the ‘OBI-WAN’ Disney+ series due to creative differences. (Source: @disneyplus).” It was meant as a joke, but some sites took at is the truth and ran with it. Publishing false stories on their accounts.
The statement is proved to be false and as of right now, Disney+ is still promising an original series featuring Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi.
