“ It’s a great honor to get to put that suit on.” Obi-Wan Kenobi director Deborah Chow has previously teased that this Vader isn’t quite as fully formed as the one we meet in A New Hope. “ Well, without getting into too much detail, it was amazing,” Christensen said last month.

The series will also find Hayden Christensen suiting up as Darth Vader nearly twenty years after the release of Revenge of the Sith, something he was very excited about. Kumail Nanjiani, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Indira Varma, Benny Safdie, Maya Erskine, and Simone Kessel will also appear. In addition to Ewan McGregor and Rupert Friend, Obi-Wan Kenobi will also star Moses Ingram as Reva/the Third Sister, Sung Kang as the Fifth Brother, Joel Edgerton as Owen Lars, and Bonnie Piesse as Beru Lars. Star Wars: Cameron Monaghan comments on live-action Cal Kestis rumors The second finds Kenobi travelling to the neon-drenched planet of Daiya, and the final image shows us the Grand Inquisitor with his spinning double lightsaber. The first image features Obi-Wan Kenobi on Tatooine, where he’s keeping a watchful eye on young Luke Skywalker. If you need a little something to tide you over until then, Total Film has released three new Obi-Wan Kenobi images featuring Ewan McGregor as the former Jedi Master and Rupert Friend as the Grand Inquisitor. Some new baddies will be joining Christensen, however.Next month, we’ll be basking in the glory of not one but two episodes of the much anticipated Obi-Wan Kenobi series. “The first time that I saw Ewan as Obi-Wan again, that was a very special moment for me, and one that I’ll remember for a very, very long time.” Yet reuniting with McGregor held especially strong meaning. “The whole experience was very surreal,” Christensen said of donning Vader’s armor once more. “We’re going to see a very powerful Vader,” promised Hayden Christensen, returning to the role for the first time since 2005’s Revenge of the Sith. But he is very much a part of the show emotionally for Obi-Wan, and possibly beyond that as well.” “And the degree of his proximity to that shadow is something that we’ll discover. “His shadow is cast across so much of what we do,” series writer Joby Harold teased. It’s a haunting image, complete with Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back vibes as the Sith Lord is almost entirely in silhouette. “He feels an enormous amount of responsibility for that, and guilt.” New photos depict Obi-Wan with an eopie creature, looking cautiously, and sitting silently in a cave.ĮW also presents our first look at Darth Vader in the series, emerging from his meditation chamber. “He’s a broken man after what happened with the Jedi Order at the end of Episode III, but also what happened with Anakin that he lost him to the dark side,” McGregor said. In an in-depth interview with Dalton Ross, McGregor recounted seeing Darth Vader turn up on the Obi-Wan Kenobi set for the first time, the ultimate embrace of the prequels by younger fans, and his Jedi Master’s current state at this point in the timeline - about 10 years after the events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. Here are just some of the many highlights…from any point of view. The landmark issue - EW’s final print edition before the long-running magazine goes all-digital - features Ewan McGregor’s beloved (and gloriously bearded) Obi-Wan on the cover, while revealing tons of new photos, characters, and story details. This week, Entertainment Weekly pulled back the curtain on the highly-anticipated limited series, coming to Disney+ on May 27, with an exclusive cover story. These are your first steps into the world of Obi-Wan Kenobi. This article has been updated to reflect the new premiere date. Note: Following the publication of this article, it was announced that Obi-Wan Kenobi will debut Friday, May 27, with its first two episodes.
