Ewan McGregor says Obi-Wan isn't doing great at the beginning of Disney+'s upcoming ObiWanKenobi series. 'We find Obi-Wan at the beginning of our story rather broken, and faithless, and beaten, somewhat given up,' he said.
Ewan McGregor's Star Wars character is in a dark place at the start of the Obi-Wan Kenobi show. With roughly three months to go before the next Lucasfilm Disney+ series debuts, marketing for the project has finally begun. While McGregor can't talk specifics about his upcoming return as Obi-Wan Kenobi, he shares what his character's state of mind is at the beginning of the project.
After years of rumors, Lucasfilm finally confirmed in 2019 that a new Obi-Wan Kenobi narrative is coming, although instead of a movie, it has been reworked to be a limited series. The show takes place 10 years after the events of Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith and will see the titular character in hiding from the Galactic Empire.
Obi-Wan's desolate and hopeless state at the beginning of the Obi-Wan Kenobi show makes sense. At this point in the canon timeline, it has been a decade since Order 66, which forced him and the rest of the Jedi to flee, although most of them and their Padawans were killed.
Ultimately, Obi-Wan has to get himself together as the show will also see him face Darth Vader again. As revealed by Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, Hayden Christensen will also appear in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series as the Sith Lord, resulting in the former allies squaring off again, which is dubbed the "rematch of the century.
