The official synopsis reads: “The story begins 10 years after the dramatic events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith where Obi-Wan Kenobi faced his greatest defeat—the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, who turned to the dark side as evil Sith Lord Darth Vader.”
There’s been a lot made of this show and its star, especially after we’ve learned some absolutely adorable details about how McGregor pretends to use the Force to open doors (just like the rest of us!). Our coverage extends from our outline of what we know about the six-part series itself to how the writers almost brought Darth Maul back during the pitch session. We’ve also waxed poetic about the quadraped steed, Rooh the eopie, and lamented the lack of information surrounding Darth Vader’s return. We’ve also put together a guide to the essential Obi-Wan Kenobi media you can watch and read before the show, including Claudia Gray’s novels and Charles Soule’s five-issue comic miniseries.
