Obi-Wan Kenobi Plot

Set 10 years after the dramatic events of Star Wars: Revenge of the City, where Kenobi suffered his greatest defeat, Obi-Wan Kenobi charts the Jedi’s slow fall from grace. Watching his best friend and apprentice Anakin Skywalker be corrupted by the dark side, Obi-Wan faces internal battles in his quest to find a solution.

“We start making it in the late spring and we’re gonna be shooting it here in L.A. and not — it’s so funny, every week, there’s a new report,” McGregor recently said in an interview with NME. “My dad was sending me links, saying, ‘I thought you were shooting it in L.A.’ because there’s another tabloid expose that we’re shooting it in some bizarre town somewhere. Then we’re meant to be making it in Boston and then we’re meant to be making it, no, it wasn’t Boston, it was Boston, England. But we’re not. We’re shooting it in L.A.”

While we already knew that McGregor was reprising his role, late last year we learned that Hayden Christensen, the actor famous for his portrayal of Anakin would also be returning. In a new statement released by Star Wars, we know now the cast in full.
