Credit: LucasfilmObi-Wan Kenobi is geared to change the Star Wars universe forever, but ahead of its release Ewan McGregor finally says his historical line for the first time in 17 years.
20 years after making his Star Wars saga debut as the young Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, Hayden Christensen is returning to the galaxy far, far away to reprise his role of Skywalker and Sith Lord Darth Vader for the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series.
Alongside Christensen is his old Jedi Master and best friend, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor). While every Star Wars fan is geared to see flashback sequences of Anakin Skywalker storming the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, McGregor finally uttered his famous “Hello there” for the first time in 17 years:

While it’s unclear how audiences will hear Ben Kenobi say, “Hello there,” in Obi-Wan Kenobi, there would be a Twitter civil war if the man behind the lightsaber didn’t utter those classic lines that Sir Alec Guinness started with Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977).

20 years after making his Star Wars saga debut as the young Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, Hayden Christensen is returning to the galaxy far, far away to reprise his role of Skywalker and Sith Lord Darth Vader for the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series.
As Disney writes:

In less than a week, every Star Wars fan will be holding back the tears of seeing fan-favorites Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christensen, and even Temuera Morrison (Captain Cody) return to the Kenobi series.
