When Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) suffered a significant loss when he lost his best friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, to Sith Lord Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen), this new series is supposed to take place while Obi-Wan is still in hiding. Obi-Wan Kenobi takes place ten years after the events in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005). As you may recall, Episode III placed the movie three years into the clone wars.
A new episode will be released every Wednesday until the season finale, scheduled to air on June 22.
