Ewan McGregor has talked more about the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney Plus series – and it sounds like we're in for a treat.
The TV show picks up 10 years after the events of Revenge of the Sith, and will follow Obi-Wan in hiding on Tatooine.
"I think it's no secret that Hayden Christensen comes back and we got to play scenes together again as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker and it was just fantastic to work with him again," McGregor told Forbes.
"I'm not going to give away anything else about the storyline, only I think it's really going to satisfy Star Wars fans. I always felt there was a story between Episode 3 [Revenge of the Sith] where I finished playing Obi-Wan in the movies and Episode 4 [A New Hope] where Alec Guinness is Obi-Wan Kenobi. The [Obi-Wan Kenobi series] writers and Deb [Deborah Chow, director] and I and everyone, I think we crafted or they crafted a very fine storyline. I think people are going to like it."
The series also has a first poster, which shows Obi-Wan wandering the sandy plains of Tatooine alone. The show will release this May 25, which, while not quite May 4, is still a significant day in Star Wars history – it will mark 45 years since the release of A New Hope.
