Obi-Wan Kenobi Is Like One Long Movie Says Ewan McGregor
Ewan McGregor says that Obi-Wan Kenobi is less episodic and more like one long movie. Soon to join the ranks of Disney+'s ever-growing roster ofStar Wars shows, Obi-Wan Kenobi picks up ten years after the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith and sees Obi-Wan living a solitary life, watching over a young Luke Skywalker on the desert planet of Tatooine. McGregor serves as executive producer on the show along with Deborah Chow, who also serves as showrunner and director, and who previously directed two episodes ofThe Mandalorian.
Obi-Wan Kenobi features only six episodes and is billed as a limited series, meaning there likely won't be additional seasons. While finer details of the plot remain unknown, trailers for the show have revealed that Obi-Wan will have to contend with Inquisitor Reva (Moses Ingram) and a fearsome group of Jedi hunters. Obi-Wan Kenobi also marks the triumphant return of Hayden Christensen to the Star Wars universe, seeing the actor don Darth Vader's iconic black suit to once more do battle with his former master. Obi-Wan Kenobi also features performances from Rupert Friend, Maya Erskine, Joel Edgerton, Kumail Nanjiani, and Bonnie Piesse.
