There have been so many rumors surrounding the potential series about Obi-Wan Kenobi that we often wondered if this project is just a pipe dream. Fortunately for Star Wars fans, Disney bosses decided to give it a green light, and shooting will be underway sometime next year.

Ewan McGregor, who played this character in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, recently made an appearance at Disney+’s D23 Star Wars streaming presentation and revealed he’s ready to go back to playing one of our favorite Jedi masters.

Famous actor appeared at the presentation alongside Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy who got us all hyped up for this project by saying, “We have all the scripts written, and we’re ready to go next year, we can’t wait to start production.”

Obi-Wan Kenobi series is one of several Star Wars projects coming to new streaming service Disney+. Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian starring Pedro Pascal will pave the way for the rest of them once it premieres on November 12th.
