Obi-Wan Kenobi Poster Reveals First Look At Ewan McGregor's Return
The first poster for Obi-Wan Kenobi has officially been released, showing Ewan McGregor's return. Audiences initially met Obi-Wan Kenobi in A New Hope in 1977, but Ewan McGregor got the chance to make the character his own when George Lucas made the prequels. He starred in three films as Obi-Wan and became one of the brightest spots of the three movies. After Disney acquired Lucasfilm, the studio spent years trying to get Obi-Wan Kenobi off the ground as a movie before confirming its plans as a Disney+ series in 2019.
Despite the excitement for Obi-Wan Kenobi, Lucasfilm has kept details about it to a minimum. Fans know Ewan McGregor is back to play Obi-Wan after the events of Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith. It will also feature the return of Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, which will give the show a rematch between the brother-like characters. So far, the only glimpse at Obi-Wan came through some concept art released as a sizzle reel in 2021, but now the actual marketing campaign has started.
