Disney Plus' upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series will reportedly be a single, standalone season, according to the Ewan McGregor. In an interview with ET Online about his upcoming project, Long Way Up, McGregor briefly touched on the Obi-Wan Kenobi show, which was put on hold earlier this year to rework its story.

"As I understand, it's a standalone season," McGregor pointed out, "We'll see, who knows?" 

While we'd all love multiple seasons of McGregor, a short, tight story might do Obi-Wan justice. McGregor also revealed the series is finally set to start production in spring 2021. "I'm really excited about it, it's gonna be great, I think," he said. 

We haven't got a clue what the Obi-Wan Kenobi series plot will entail, but I'm setting a quota of Kenobi saying "hello there" at least two times an episode. Rumors have swirled on Star Wars message boards that Hayden Christensen may reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, but we've got no concrete sources on that.
