Obi-Wan Kenobi: Ewan McGregor Continues to Praise Deborah Chow and the Series

The Book of Boba Fett is over now, but the Star Wars train is not stopping. 2022 still has three live-action series in the pipeline, and if recent rumors are true, Obi-Wan Kenobi may be next. Kenobi himself, Ewan McGregor, recently spoke to Forbes and could not be more enthusiastic about the upcoming series, saying it's going to satisfy all Star Wars fans.



McGregor first commented on the experience of playing the role all these years later, as now the generation of fans that was clamoring for his return is the same generation of kids the prequels were made for. He said:

Then, he expressed his enthusiasm over the whole cast and crew that is behind the series:

The passing of the torch between generations of Star Wars fans is something our own Resistance Broadcast crew has been discussing for some time. Indeed, the kids that fell in love with Star Wars because of the Disney films will be the podcasters and leaders of the online conversation 15 years from now. This is exactly what is happening today with the kids that grew up in the 90s and 2000s.



While there isn't much new in these quotes, many more will come in the next few months as the marketing campaign starts to ramp up. The cast of Obi-Wan Kenobi, besides Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader, also includes (among others): Moses Ingram, who is set to have a key role in the show; Rupert Friend, whose role may have been revealed recently; Kumail Nanjiani, who also has a substantial role in the series and frequently interacts with McGregor's Obi-Wan; Sung Kang, who wields a lightsaber in the show; Indira Varma, who was spotted wearing an Imperial costume; Joel Edgerton and Bonnie Piesse as Owen and Beru Lars; and O'Shea Jackson Jr., whose part remains a mystery.



Obi-Wan Kenobi is currently deep into post-production. Deborah Chow directed all six episodes. Watch out for a May 2022 release date if nothing changes.
