After years of waiting, “Star Wars” fans only have two and a half months more to wait before “Obi Wan Kenobi” hits Disney+. Starring Ewan McGregor as the Jedi Master, the series hails from Deborah Chow, who directs all episodes. Perhaps the most exciting part, the return of Hayden Christensen as Annakin Skywalker! And, as we know now, Joel Egerton as Uncle Ownen.
These images were released by Entertainment Weekly this morning, who’s April issue will be dedicated to the series.
Fan speculation is at an all-time high that a trailer is coming this week.
“Obi Wan Kenobi” will premiere on Disney+ on May 25th, 2022. It’s the anniversary of the first film releasing in theaters in 1977. And also the kickoff day for Star Wars Celebration 2022.
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief.
Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence.
Though she be but little, she is fierce.
