At the 2019 D23 Expo, Lucasfilm confirmed that Ewan McGregor will be returning for an Obi-Wan TV series to be released on the Disney+ streaming service.

Been waiting years for this (or a feature film). Filming is supposed to start this Spring.

I'm jizzed about this and Bad Batch but I question how this adds to cannon. I'll take an Obi Wan story any day but he spent 18 years dicking off on Tatooine and aside from him just shrugging and ending Maul 3 seconds into their fight this was a pretty boring part of his life.

The first meeting we got between him and Vader seemed really brief but after 40 years of retcon their relationship was beautiful and we don't really need another series exploring it. Hopefully the Vader and Obi arcs never interact unless it's a back in the day scene
 
Teaser trailer:

 
They sure are dipping heavily into their cartoon series Clone wars and Rebels
Which is a good thing

Those were successful and have huge fan bases. The prequels and sequels were pretty much universally panned. And when they have brought stuff over from the animated shows to date, they have been very successful.

Seems a good template.
 
Love everyone freaking out about the size of the inquisitor's head relative to Rebels.

If that's all people have to complain about this will be a banger of a series.
 
This looks good! Interesting to see if they have Vader face off against Obi-Wan Kenobi again

Would be cool to see them bring back Darth Maul

If they do the Maul thing, it would be a redo since they already showed it in the animated shows. Maybe they will mention it, since the fact he survived the first duel with Obiwan is already known in the live action universe, but I doubt they will do too much with him.
 
Announcement: premiere date will be Friday, May 27, 2022:

Evidently this just dropped and the first two episodes can be watched now.
 
What a great first couple of episodes

Yes, Leia is annoying but that's the point. You can easily see Anakin and Padme in her, especially their Clone Wars versions. And Leia was already sassy in IV so it makes sense why she would be that was as a kid.

At the very least I just hope everyone is better towards kid her and Luke's actors than towards Jake Lloyd.

Just finishing first episode. Meh. Nothing magical or illuminating or even nostalgic so far.
 
Apparently kid-Leah was a bit of a skank and laid with a bunch of dogs.


She got Fleas.
