New Details Released on OBI-WAN KENOBI Series at Disney Plus

Entertainment Weekly reports that Ewan McGregor will officially be donning his Jedi robes once more. Disney confirmed plans for an upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series at D23 today.

New details announced today: all scripts are written for the series, and it will be shot next year.

McGregor played the young Jedi master in all three Star Wars prequels, and returned for a quick vocal cameo in 2017's "The Force Awakens." He's known for his musical talent--he starred in (and sang in!) musical films "Moulin Rouge" and "Velvet Goldmine," and led the West End production of "Guys and Dolls" from 2005-2007. He also won a Golden Globe for his work on the third season of "Fargo" in 2018.

This Kenobi series news comes after years of speculation that McGregor would return to play the role in a standalone feature film. Disney has announced many other high-profile projects for Disney+, including several series from Marvel Studios and a remake of "Lady and the Tramp." John Favreau will produce another Star Wars series for the streaming service: The Mandalorian, starring Pedro Pascal (Game of Thrones).
