However, when Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy introduced the show during the 2020 Disney Investor Day, she focussed on Obi-Wan’s “greatest defeat”, which was allowing Anakin Skywalker to be corrupted and join the Dark Side of the Force. Much of the plot for Obi-Wan Kenobi is being kept under wraps, so we don’t know a huge amount of what will happen in the show.

After leaving Leia with Senator Bail Organa and hiding Luke on Tatooine with his aunt, Obi-Wan then settled into hiding, waiting to oversee Luke Skywalker's training. This 10-year time jump means that Darth Vader has had plenty of time to get to work ruling over the rest of the galaxy far, far away with Emperor Palpatine. Anakin’s body was then retrieved by Emperor Palpatine who rebuilt his body and housed it in Darth Vader's iconic armour, completing his transformation into the legendary villain. If you need a refresher, in this duel Obi-Wan defeated his former Jedi apprentice and left him to die after mourning what Anakin became once he'd given in to the Dark Side. We know that the live-action Obi-Wan Kenobi series picks up 10 years after Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi faced off on Mustafar at the end of Revenge of the Sith. ( Straight Outta Compton), Sung Kang (Han Lue in the Fast & Furious franchise), Simone Kessell ( Wonderland) and Benny Safdie ( Good Time). The rest of Obi-Wan Kenobi’s cast was revealed in March, and there’s a lot of famous faces attached to the show! On hand are Moses Ingram ( The Queen’s Gambit), Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse ( Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones), Kumail Nanjiani ( Eternals, The Big Sick), Indira Varma ( Game of Thrones), Rupert Friend ( Homeland), O’Shea Jackson Jr.

His involvement was announced in December 2020, as part of the Disney Investor Day Star Wars presentation. The other exciting news is Hayden Christensen’s return as Darth Vader. If his comments on Jimmy Kimmel Live!are anything to go by, he’s having a pretty good time being back.

Obviously, we can’t have Revenge of the Sith-era Obi-Wan Kenobi without Ewan McGregor returning, so it's good to know he’s fully on board.
