The teaser trailer indicates that the show will revolve around Inquisitors armed with red lightsabers attempting to track down and eliminate an elderly Obi-Wan Kenobi. The show seems to focus on Kenobi’s survival.
Obi-Wan Kenobi, the great Jedi Master, was a noble man who was talented in the ways of the Force.
He mentored Luke Skywalker and taught Anakin Skywalker. He also served as a commander in the Republic Army during the Clone Wars. Kenobi is also a very powerful Jedi. The Jedi council’s only survivors were Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda.
Scottish actor Ewan McGregor is resurrecting his lightsaber in a new Disney+ series that chronicles the beloved character’s transformation from the broken warrior we last saw in Revenge of the Sith to the cave-dwelling Zenmaster we meet in A New Hope. And he is not the only one.
In the trailer of the upcoming American television miniseries, Obi-Wan Kenobi is marching on the sands of Tatooine with two suns in the background, brandishing his lightsaber, according to an official poster provided by Disney for the Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ series.
The news that Hayden Christensen would be reprising his role as Anakin Skywalker alongside his prequel trilogy co-star Ewan McGregor, bringing back Star Wars’ most infamous villain, caused the internet to explode.
As Obi-Wan lives out his exile on Tatooine in his limited series, rumors have circulated that Vader is on the lookout for his equally renowned children, Luke and Leia.
The plot will take set 10 years after Revenge of the Sith, according to the Disney+ page for Obi-Wan Kenobi. Luke would have been ten years old at the time.
Obi-Wan Kenobi was originally intended to be a spin-off film, similar to Solo: A Star Wars Story and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
This, on the other hand, never happened. Obi-Wan Kenobi will instead be a limited series.
Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader will square up on film for the first time in seventeen years (in Earth time) amid the burning depths of Mustafar, in the new Disney+ series premiering May 25.
With Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen reprising their roles as the dynamic and tragic combo, the Dark Lord’s famed midi-chlorian count, the stakes are as high as the midi-chlorian count.
While we know that the rematch will most likely result in both of them living (since, you know, they die in different ways), it will be thrilling to see these two fan favorites square off for the third time.
Ewan McGregor, who played Obi-Wan Kenobi in the prequel Star Wars films, will take the title role (The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and The Revenge of the Sith). Hayden Christensen, who played Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in the prequel trilogy, will join McGregor to reprise his role as the malevolent Vader.
The show will also feature Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, Moses Ingram, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Simone Kessel, Sung Kang, and Benny Safdie.
