The Disney era of Star Wars has given fans of the galaxy far, far, away new stories of just about every era. While the sequel trilogy—The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and Rise of Skywalker—largely focused on a new cast of characters, a handful of original trilogy characters (Han Solo, Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, Lando Calrissian, R2D2, C3PO, and, somehow, Palpatine) figured into the fun. The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett expanded to include characters from the animated shows like The Clone Wars and Rebels, while featuring an actor who first appeared in prequel movie, albeit as a different character. But with Obi-Wan Kenobi, it’s truly, finally, and completely a time for fans of the prequels.
That’s right: it’s prequel time, baby!And while we’ve heard people complaining for decades about the merit and quality of the prequels (seriously, we’ve heard quite enough at this point), there’s one thing that no one has ever complained about: Ewan McGregor’s portrayal across all three films as the legendary Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi.
McGregor’s performance, without question, stands up to Alec Guinness’ portrayal in the original Star Wars, and in many ways surpasses it; remember that Guinness only appeared in about two thirds of one movie, while McGregor anchored an entire trilogy. And man did he go out on top—Revenge of the Sith remains an absolute banger to this day.
With Obi-Wan Kenobi, we’re looking to keep some of that same energy. Hayden Christensen, who played Anakin Skywalker, will also feature as a part of Obi-Wan Kenobi, returning to the role he played 17 years ago: Darth Vader. Yup, Darth and Obi, together again. We’re ready to see some sparks (and lightsabers) fly.
