Star Wars fans have been clamoring for an Obi-Wan Kenobi-centric series for years. Although Sir Alec Guinness originally played the legendary Jedi Master in George Lucas’s Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977), Ewan McGregor cemented the character’s legacy for a new generation in the prequel trilogy, which released between 1999 and 2005.
In the ensuring years, however, nostalgia has reigned and the fandom is now thrilled to see McGregor’s Kenobi reunite with his former Padawan in the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series.
In addition to McGregor and Christensen, Bonnie Piesse and Joel Edgerton are set to reprise their prequel roles as Luke’s Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen Lars, while newcomers like Moses Ingram, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, O’Shea Jackson Jr., and Sung Kang will join the Star Wars story for the first time.
