Ewan McGregor Formed An Adorable Bond With His Obi-Wan Kenobi Camel
Obi-Wan Kenobi star Ewan McGregor formed an adorable bond with his camel co-star on the set of his Star Wars television series. Originally announced in 2019, the upcoming show is the latest entry in the Star Wars franchise as Disney and Lucasfilm expand the science-fiction universe through various new television and film projects. Set 10 years after Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith, which saw the rise of the evil Galactic Empire, McGregor reprises the role of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, a role he first played in George Lucas' Star Wars prequel trilogy.
The new Disney+ television series aims to tell some of the story leading up to the events of Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope. The show follows McGregor as the titular character who lives in exile while watching and protecting a young Luke Skywalker on the desert planet of Tatooine. Following the fall of the Republic and the Jedi Order, Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader aim to wipe the old mystical religion and its practitioners from the galaxy by brute force. Vader enlists a loyal squad of dark side warriors called Inquisitors to complete this deadly task.
