Fans have been clamoring for Ewan McGregor to return to the Star Wars universe for years, considering the possibilities for the space wizard during his exile on Tatooine, while he was guarding the young Luke Skywalker from a distance. This idea was assumed to be a movie, but after the poor performance of Solo and the birth of the Disney+ streaming service, McGregor will reprise his role in a six-episode limited series titled Obi-Wan Kenobi beginning sometime in 2022. Joel Edgerton and Bonnie Piesse will play Owen and Beru Lars as they did in the prequels, and Hayden Christensen will return as Darth Vader. There's no word yet as to who, if anyone, will play Luke Skywalker.
But there will also be new characters, and all information about them is under an embargo of sorts. Two of them will be played by Sung Kang and Kumail Nanjiani, who cannot tell us who they play, or even what they play. But there have been little teases about what's to come in Obi-Wan Kenobi, as both actors try to dance around the question. Read about the series and the latest clues at Den of Geek.
