For some Star Wars fans, this has been highly anticipated, but for those of you who don't know, Disney+ will be streaming the brand new Obi-Wan Kenobi tv series on May 25th! Apparently this date will also mark the 45th anniversary of star wars, and matches the date the first film was released back in 1977.

They will be bringing back fan favourite, Ewan McGregor to play Obi-Wan again, and rather perfectly, Hayden Christensen (the guy who played Anakin Skywalker). I'm really looking forward to seeing
these two work together again.

Code:

McGregor's last appearance as the character came during 2005's Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. During the film, Anakin, who was Obi-Wan's apprentice, falls to the dark side of the force and becomes Darth Vader. "I always felt there was a story between Episode III where I finished playing Obi-Wan in the movies and Episode IV where Alec Guinness is Obi-Wan Kenobi," McGregor commented during an interview with Forbes magazine. The new series will be set 10 years after Episode III (nearly 20 years before the events of The Mandalorian), as Obi-Wan watches over a young Luke Skywalker on the sand planet Tatooine. _______________________________________ Very few Star Wars characters are more famous or iconic than Obi-Wan Kenobi, meaning there is a risk of a fan backlash if people are unhappy with the new series. During his interview, Ewan McGregor says dealing with criticism is nothing new as he experienced something similar when his trilogy of Star Wars movies first came out. "I mean it's quite interesting, after the experience of making the first three films and living through sort of their reception in the world, which wasn't always glowing, I have to say," McGregor said. "And then now, meeting the generation who we made those films for, the children then. To them, they're their Star Wars films, you know? For us, it was the original films of the '70s, but for them, our films were their Star Wars. "So to step back into his [Obi-Wan's] shoes again now and do a series, a whole series about Obi-Wan Kenobi for those fans, it just makes me really happy."
