Ewan McGregor Talks Up OBI-WAN KENOBI Series Saying It's "Really Going to Satisfy STAR WARS Fans"

We are just three months away from the premiere of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series that is headed to Disney+. The shows so far have been pretty good quality, with The Mandalorian paving the way for fans to enjoy the premium storytelling that Disney+ is doing within the Star Wars universe. Returning Obi-Wan actor Ewan McGregor is confident that this series is going to be great as well, telling Forbes:

“I think it's no secret that Hayden Christensen comes back and we got to play scenes together again as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker and it was just fantastic to work with him again, I'm not going to give away anything else about the storyline, only I think it's really going to satisfy Star Wars fans. I always felt there was a story between Episode 3 [Revenge of the Sith] where I finished playing Obi-Wan in the movies and Episode 4 [A New Hope] where Alec Guinness is Obi-Wan Kenobi. The [Obi-Wan Kenobi series] writers and Deb [Deborah Chow, director] and I and everyone, I think we crafted or they crafted a very fine storyline. I think people are going to like it."

I think this is one of the storylines that fans most wanted explored, so I think it will be one that gets a lot of views, but knowing Star Wars fans, there will probably be a lot of haters out there too. You just can’t please everyone. But I look forward to seeing what the storytellers have in store.

Obi-Wan Kenobi hits Disney+ on May 25th. Are you excited for this series?
