Darth Vader Is Very Powerful On Obi-Wan Kenobi, Says Hayden Christensen
Hayden Christensen teases "a very powerful Vader" in Obi-Wan Kenobi. After years of rumors and endless speculation, Ewan McGregor's return as the iconic Jedi Master was finally confirmed in 2019. Though the original intent was to make a feature film, the Obi-Wan spinoff idea was reworked into a Disney+ series following the box office disappointment of Solo: A Star Wars Story in 2018. Soon after, the return of Obi-Wan's former Padawan-turned-Sith Lord Anakin Skywalker was also confirmed, portrayed by the prequel trilogy actor.
