Do you sense something? It’s a presence you have not felt since …
We’re going to have to go back at least 17 years. That’s the last time Star Wars fans saw Ewan McGregor as the Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi, literally taking apart his old friend Anakin Skywalker in the finale of 2005’s Revenge of the Sith. It has been public knowledge for years that an Obi-Wan series was in the works, but today the release date was finally revealed. After a long wait, it’s now closer than some might think.
Mark the calendar for May 25th. That’s when Obi-Wan Kenobi will debut on Disney+.
Disney CEO Bob Chapek announced the date in an earnings call Wednesday afternoon. He also said Andor, the Rogue One prequel starring Diego Luna as his galactic spy character, would be coming to the streaming service later this year. He didn’t specify a start date for that show.
Little is known about the Obi-Wan Kenobi story except that Hayden Christensen will return as Anakin, and the bulk of the tale takes place when Kenobi is middle-aged, living as a hermit in exile on the desert world of Tatooine, where he is a distant guardian for Luke Skywalker. At that point in the Star Wars chronology, Darth Vader is terrorizing the galaxy while encased in his lifesaving robotic mask, so Christensen will either be appearing as his earlier self in flashback, or we will see him battle scarred, burned, and disfigured without the helmet.
Deborah Chow, who directed some of the fan-favorite episodes of The Mandalorian, is the showrunner of the Obi-Wan series, and Lucasfilm has previously released a cast list. Of the impressive line-up of actors, the only ones whose characters we can safely guess are Bonnie Piesse and Joel Edgerton‘s, since they played the roles of young Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru, Luke’s adoptive father, in the Star Wars prequels.
After years upon years of speculation, and wishful thinking, from Star Wars fans, McGregor and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy made it official in 2019 that he would be returning to the role of Obi-Wan, originated in the 1977 film by the late Alec Guinness.
