A decade after the fall of the Jedi Order, one of its last surviving members is living in quiet exile on a desert world, and Obi-Wan Kenobi picks up his story from there rather than retreading the prequel trilogy.
What is Obi-Wan Kenobi about?
Set several years after the events that scattered the Jedi across the galaxy, the series follows Obi-Wan Kenobi as he keeps a distant watch over a young Luke Skywalker while trying to stay hidden from those hunting down any Jedi who survived. His isolation is interrupted when circumstances draw him back into direct conflict, forcing him to confront both old enemies and the weight of choices made years earlier. The show leans on the tension between a man trying to disappear and a galaxy that keeps finding reasons to pull him back in, set against the harsh, sparse look of frontier worlds far from the Republic's former reach. As a stand-alone limited series built around a single character's arc, it fills in a specific stretch of time rather than launching an ongoing storyline, giving the show a defined beginning and end.
About the cast
Ewan McGregor returns to the title role, joined by Hayden Christensen, Rupert Friend, Joel Edgerton, Maya Erskine, Kumail Nanjiani, Moses Ingram and Bonnie Piesse. Deborah Chow directs the series, overseeing its shift from feature-length prequel storytelling to a serialized limited format.
