A. Star Wars

I believe it is Star Wars, because you are adding on that you are watching that particular movie. The sentence would have been fine if you kept it its original way without the ",Star Wars." (We are watching one of my brothers favorite movies).

The words in the sentence that make up the appositive phrase are “Star Wars”. An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames or gives additional information about a noun next to it. In the sentence “We are watching one of my brother's favorite movies, Star Wars,” the phrase “Star Wars” provides more information about which of the brother’s favorite movies they are watching. Thus, it is the appositive, renaming the movie that is being watched.
