If Daldry agrees to direct the film, he will oversee the development and script along with Lucasfilm executives.
Obi-Wan played an important role in the original Star Wars trilogy, acting as a mentor to young Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), a portrayal which saw Guinness earn an Oscar nomination.
And in the three prequels, which explore the origin of Darth Vader and his betrayal of the Jedis, Obi-Wan had a central part.
