The Beskar Brothers Podcast

The Obi-Wan Kenobi series is the new Disney+ live-action series. The series focuses on the character of Obi-Wan Kenobi during his time in exile on Tatooine between the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope.

The series was first announced in August 2018, with Ewan McGregor set to reprise his role as Obi-Wan from the Star Wars films. The series will be written by Jon Favreau, with executive producers including McGregor, Favreau, Kathleen Kennedy, and Colin Wilson. In October 2018, it was announced that the series would consist of six episodes and be released on the Disney+ streaming service.

The series began production in 2019. The Obi-Wan Kenobi series will be the first time the character has been the focus of a live-action or animated series. The character was initially created for the 1977 film Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, with Alec Guinness portraying him. McGregor took over the role for the prequel trilogy, with the character appearing in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999), Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002), and Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005).

While the character has been a fan favorite for decades, the series will be the first time his story has been explored in-depth in any medium. The series will surely be a hit with fans of the character and the Star Wars franchise.
