Star Wars Composer John Williams Reportedly Scored Obi-Wan Kenobi Show Theme
John Williams, the composer responsible for the iconic Star Wars themes, has reportedly added the theme of the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series to his filmography. The limited series, slated for release on May 25 of this year, will follow Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) through his exile on Tatooine nine years before the events of Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope. Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen) will also appear as Vader's team of Inquisitors hunt down the Jedi who survived the deadly Order 66 at the end of the Clone Wars and who currently remains in Tatooine to watch over Luke Skywalker.
Williams has scored all nine of the Star Wars Skywalker Saga movies, as well as «The Adventures of Han» theme for Solo: A Star Wars Story and the titular theme for the Galaxy's Edge theme parks.

Williams' scores for the original trilogy (Episodes IV-VI) and the sequel trilogy (Episodes VII-IX) earned him Academy Award nominations for Best Original Score, one of which he won in 1977 for A New Hope.
