The future of Star Wars on the big screen is still a big question mark, but it has found new life on streaming. On this Disney+ Day fans were probably hoping to see a trailer for Obi-Wan Kenobi, and perhaps there will be. But for now, anything new comes in the form of a behind-the-scenes featurette.
McGregor is full of glowing praise for Obi-Wan Kenobi and the entire Star Wars universe in what amounts to a brief interview with the actor. We also get some words from director Deborah Chow and a lot of concept art.
Also teased is the return of Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker, and McGregor can’t stop grinning at the prospect of clashing lightsabers against his former co-star. The cast includes Moses Ingram, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, O’Shea Jackson Jr., and Rupert Friend, Sung Kang, Simone Kessell, Benny Safdie, and Maya Erksine, with Joel Edgerton and Bonnie Piesse back as Luke Skywalker’s Uncle Ben and Aunt Beru.
Obi-Wan Kenobi comes to Disney+ in 2022.
