After years of waiting, “Star Wars” fans only have two and a half months more to wait before “Obi Wan Kenobi” hits Disney+. Starring Ewan McGregor as the Jedi Master, the series hails from Deborah Chow, who directs all episodes. Perhaps the most exciting part, the return of Hayden Christensen as Annakin Skywalker! And, as we know now, Joel Egerton as Uncle Ownen.
These images were released by Entertainment Weekly this morning, who’s April issue will be dedicated to the series.
Fan speculation is at an all-time high that a trailer is coming this week.
“Obi Wan Kenobi” will premiere on Disney+ on May 25th, 2022. It’s the anniversary of the first film releasing in theaters in 1977. And also the kickoff day for Star Wars Celebration 2022.
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) got her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine as a teenager. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (News Editor), Nerdbot (as Editor-In-Chief), and now [Bad]Influencers, where she is Editor-in-Chief.
Over the past 15 years, she’s built a well-known reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band. She also produces award-winning immersive events, including Wasteland Weekend and Neotropolis.
