Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi series to premiere on Disney+ in May

February 5, 2022 by Gary Collinson

Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett draws to a close this coming Wednesday with its season (series?) finale, but we won’t have too long a wait before we venture back to Tatooine as The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi will premiere on Disney+ in May.

THR’s report comes hot on the heels a quickly-deleted tweet from Brandon SanGiovanni, Enterprise/Global Program Manager at Disney+, who shared the following on Thursday (via The Direct):

The series will see Ewan McGregor returning to the galaxy far, far away as we pick up events between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope with Ben Kenobi living in exile on Tatooine as he watches over a young Luke Skywalker. McGregor will be joined in the cast by Prequel Trilogy co-star Hayden Christensen, who is set to don the Darth Vader armour again as the former master and apprentice reignite their lightsabers for a rematch following their epic clash on Mustafar in Episode III.
