The Obi-Wan Kenobi series set for Disney+ has brought Joby Harold on to write, Variety reports. Paramount Pictures recently selected Harold to write the script for a new Transformers film that's supposed to revamp the franchise. In 2017, he was chosen to completely re-write the script for The Flash movie. He was also recently the executive producer for John Wick: Chapter 3. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/01/24/obi-wan-disney-plus-series-on-hold"] Harold is taking over for Hossein Amini, who left the project in January. The entire show's production was put on hold in January because Lucasfilm president and Obi-Wan producer Kathleen Kennedy was reportedly not happy with the current scripts. However, star Ewan McGregor told IGN that the Obi-Wan show's unannounced release date was not impacted by the filming delay. "I’ve read about eighty, ninety percent of what they’ve written so far, and it’s really, really good," McGregor said. "Instead of shooting this August, they just want to start shooting in January, that's all."
