Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ Series Was Originally a Film, Ewan McGregor Confirms
Ewan McGregor has confirmed that the Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ series was originally set to be a film, and he is very happy that it turned out not be.
Speaking to ComingSoon.net during the Doctor Sleep junket, McGregor discussed how it was going to be a single movie that was reportedly going to be directed by Stephen Daldry.
“It wasn’t always going to be a series, not initially,” McGregor confirmed. “When we first started talking about, that wasn’t really in the cards but everything’s changed so much, so quickly. It’s really exciting that it is now. I’m really into the idea to be able to tell the story over several hours instead of just one hit. I think it’s going to be quite cool.”

Apple Announces AirPods Pro, Available Later This Month
Apple announced the AirPods Pro on Monday, a new iteration of the wireless AirPod earbuds with noise cancelling features and more.
The AirPods Pro features a marginally new visual design, but Apple is touting a new active noise cancellation feature as one of its biggest draws. Using new microphones for both phonecalls and noise cancelling, one microphone detects external sound, then the AirPods Pro create an “anti-noise” that cancels out environmental sounds before they reach the listener’s ears.
If you still prefer to listen to the sounds of nature around you while your music or podcasts roll on, the AirPods Pro has a “Transparency” mode that does just that. Switching between the two modes can be done by pressing on the AirPods Pro stem’s new force sensor.
