Ewan McGregor Returns As Obi-Wan Kenobi For Disney+ Series

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Grandma’s gonna be so happy to see Jesus on the television again.

D23 had a fair share of announcements. But one some of us may have been hoping for was finally confirmed. Because they’re finally doing something with Obi-Wan Kenobi, with Ewan McGregor reprising the role from the prequels.

The Disney+ show will cover the period somewhere after the end of Revenge of the Sith; 8 years after the end of the film, to be precise. As fr what he spent his time doing, well, that’s what they’ll cover. I bet it won’t just be farting around the sandsea chilling with Jawas. From the release on StarWars.com:

The Disney+ panel was the first to announce an all-new Star Wars series in development, one that many fans have been asking to see since the closing scenes of 2005’s Revenge of the Sith. Ewan McGregor, who played Obi-Wan Kenobi, electrified the audience when he emerged following the announcement of his involvement in a new series taking place eight years after the events of Revenge of the Sith, where we last saw Obi-Wan delivering the infant Luke Skywalker to his Tatooine homestead.
