Of course, there are already other canon stories the remaining ten years between this show and A New Hope, namely the ones that were seen in Star Wars Rebels, which had Obi-Wan re-killing Darth Maul, after he returns. ![]() But Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2 does seem like it would be the most straightforward. This also joins talk about spin-offs out of Obi-Wan like a Reva series, and Hayden Christensen has talked about the potential of a Darth Vader-focused series where he’d be the man in the suit/bacta tank.

The series also marks the return of Hayden Christensen in the role of Darth Vader. The story begins 10 years after the dramatic events of “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” where Obi-Wan Kenobi faced his greatest defeat-the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, who turned to the dark side as evil Sith Lord Darth Vader. Here’s the official synopsis from Disney+: It’s worth noting that Obi-Wan Kenobi‘s release date of May 25, 2022, is exactly 45-years to the day after the original Star Wars hit theaters on May 25, 1977. It’ll be great to see McGregor back in the role that catapulted him to stardom, one he handled with aplomb despite having the rather massive shoes of Alec Guinness to fill. ![]() Further down the road is the Rosario Dawson-led Ahsoka, which is currently casting. Then there’s Andor, starring Diego Luna as the heoric pilot from Rogue One, due out later this year. Their current Star Wars series, The Book of Boba Fett (itself a spinoff from The Mandalorian) just wrapped its final episode. The series comes from director/producer Deborah Chow and will be the next addition to Disney+’s growing slate of Star Wars content. Obi-Wan Kenobi is set 10 years after the events of 2005’s Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, where we saw McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi have to brutally dispatch his protégé, Annakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) after the latter slipped over to the Dark Slide and slaughtered a slew of young Padawans in the process. The series will see the return of Christensen in the role of Darth Vader, joining a bunch of excellent performers like Joel Edgerton, Moses Ingram, Kumail Nanjiani, Bonnie Piesse, Indira Varma, O’Shea Jackson, Rupert Friend, Sung Kang, Simone Kessell, and actor/director Benny Safdie. McGregor first played Obi-Wan Kenobi way back in 1999 in the first of George Lucas’s prequel trilogy Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Ewan McGregor is reprising his role of the venerable Jedi Master on May 25, bringing along a host of great co-stars. At long last, we have an official release date and supporting cast for Disney+’s long-awaited Obi-Wan Kenobi series. ![]()
