Obi-Wan Kenobi will pick up with the exiled Jedi around ten years after the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. The Jedi have failed to stop the Empire from taking over the galaxy and Obi-Wan Kenobi is now watching over Luke Skywalker on Tatooine. Trying to hide and live a quiet life, Obi-Wan must embark on another adventure, bringing him face-to-face with his old friend Anakin Skywalker, who has now been transformed into Darth Vader.
Hayden Christensen will reprise the role of Anakin Skywalker alongside Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi, with the actor also expected to play Vader. The return of Darth Vader is something that Star Wars fans are curious to see, with Ewan McGregor recently revealing that he was left terrified by the intimidating presence of the iconic villain.
“I’ve never met Darth Vader,” McGregor explained. “I had rehearsed the scene with Vader, but not with the helmet on or anything like that. When we came to do the scene, when they shouted ‘action’, he had to come from behind me. I turned around, and f—ing Darth Vader was coming at me. It was like I was six again. I’d never acted into Vader’s helmet. I’d never looked him in the eye.”McGregor continued, “It scared the sh-t out of me. I’m not joking. It gave me a proper jolt of absolute fear. I was like, ‘Oh my God, that’s not acting. That’s real. I’m really, truly frightened right now.’”
Ewan McGregor will executive produce the Obi-Wan Kenobi series as well as reprise the title role. Obi-Wan Kenobi also stars Joel Edgerton as Owen Lars, Bonnie Piesse as Beru Whitesun Lars, Moses Ingram as Reva AKA the Third Sister, Rupert Friend as the Grand Inquisitor, and Sung Kang as the Fifth Brother. Obi-Wan Kenobi is scheduled to premiere on May 27, 2022, and will last six episodes ending on June 22.
