The events of Obi-Wan Kenobi are set 10 years after Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. The series follows the titular Jedi Master as he tries to cope with the downfall and corruption of his friend and apprentice Anakin Skywalker after he turned to the dark side and became Darth Vader.

The Grand Inquisitor (Ruper Friend) will also be one of the series’ main villains, and the trailer features his dramatic voiceover. “The key to hunting Jedi is patience. A Jedi cannot help what they are. Their compassion leaves a trail. The Jedi code is like an itch, he cannot help it.”

McGregor isn’t the only actor returning to his Star Wars role in Obi-Wan Kenobi. The series will also star Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker, Joel Edgerton as Owen Lars, and Bonnie Piesse as Beru Lars. Joining the cast are Moses Ingram, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, O’Shea Jackson Jr., and Benny Safdie.

Obi-Wan Kenobi will premiere on May 25th, and it will feature a total of six episodes.

McGregor picked up the award for outstanding lead actor in a limited series or movie for his work on Halston and took a moment to talk about the Obi-Wan Kenobi series following his victory.

“We finished shooting our series, and it was really, really good fun. I really enjoyed working with Deborah Chow, and I think it will not disappoint. The new technology that we employed doing it is cool, and it was a different experience than making the original three films that I did,” the actor told reporters backstage.

In addition to McGregor, the Obi-Wan Kenobi series will also see Hayden Christensen, Joel Edgerton, and Bonnie Piesse reprise their respective roles from the Star Wars movies. Moses Ingram, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, and O’Shea Jackson Jr. are some of the newcomers set to join them. The series will consist of six episodes, and it’s expected to premiere in 2022.

Neeson starred in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, portraying Qui-Gon Jinn, a character who serves as a Jedi Master of Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor). And while Jinn died in the movie, returning dead characters in some way is a common occurrence in the Star Wars universe.

When asked by host Jimmy Kimmel whether he will be involved in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, Neeson had a disappointing answer for the Star Wars fans. “I heard Ewan McGregor was gonna do a series. No, I don’t think so. No, I haven’t been approached,” he said before jokingly adding that the producers “don’t have enough money” to lure him back.

Not much is known about the character that Varma is going to play, and we’re yet to find out if she’s already a part of the Star Wars canon. Details about this project are being kept under wraps in general, but the series is expected to start shooting later this spring.

Varma will be in good company on the set. Two Star Wars veterans had already been cast in this exciting project—Ewan McGregor will return as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Hayden Christensen is expected to reprise his role as Darth Vader.

Varma is no stranger to starring in big-budget projects with a passionate fanbase, as she’s best known for her role as Ellaria Sand in Game of Thrones. Her recent filmography includes roles in legal drama For Life and fantasy series Carnival Row.
