In an episode of Variety's Actors on Actors series, McGregor said: "I had to walk past two Stormtroopers. McGregor has also confirmed that some more familiar faces (well, helmets) will be making a reappearance. That, however, is all speculation at this point. Coupled with Vader’s likely training and harnessing of his Dark Side powers makes for an intriguing showdown. The emergence of the Empire under Palpatine is also likely to factor in, making Obi-Wan increasingly isolated and in short supply of allies. The series will likely bridge the gap towards A New Hope and chart how Obi-Wan became a watchful protector on Tatooine in the post-Order 66 era. The Scot also told Men’s Journal that Obi-Wan’s arc will be an "interesting" one as he comes to terms with the loss of the Jedi.
Christensen has said he’ll be working with Ewan McGregor again and, similarly, McGregor has said on Jimmy Kimmel Live that he’s filmed a certain scene with a special unnamed someone. That appears to confirm that the crux of the show will take place on the twin-sunned planet of TatooineĪs you can imagine, further plot details are under wraps tighter than a sarlaac’s grip. McGregor also added (via ) that Obi-Wan’s final task after the events of the prequels is, predictably, to keep Luke Skywalker safe. Another clash with Obi-Wan on Tatooine could fully cement Vader as the villain we know and love… to hate. There’s not only a 10-year time jump (more on that in a moment), but Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy hinted that we’ll be getting the “rematch of the century” (via ). How did we get there? It’s something the Obi-Wan series will seemingly approach on Disney Plus.
Thus, Darth Vader was born.īut Revenge of the Sith’s Darth Vader – remember the “nooooo”? – and A New Hope’s planet-destroying villain are two very different beasts. Of course, Obi-Wan has the higher ground since their last fateful meeting: he defeated his former apprentice and left him for dead in Mustafar, though his body was recovered and kept alive by a new set of cybernetic armor. The big headline news is that Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader will seemingly cross paths (and lightsabers) once more.
