McGregor discussed his reprisal of the titular character, “Oh my gosh, well I loved playing him again…meeting the generation who we made those films for, the children then – and now, people in their late teens or early twenties…they loved them. To them, they’re their Star Wars films, you know? For us, it was the original films of the ‘70s, but for them, it was our films [that] were their Star Wars. So to step back into his shoes again now and do a series, a whole series about Obi-Wan Kenobi for those fans, it just makes me really happy.”
The series streams on May 25 on Disney+.
