"I think it's gonna be good. I had a really good time making it and worked with some really wonderful people," McGregor said. He added that new technology made it a different experience than when he filmed the prequel trilogy.
Obi-Wan is set to take place 10 years after the events of the prequel trilogy and follow McGregor's Obi-Wan as he hides on Tatooine after the fall of the Jedi Order. McGregor is the second actor to play Obi-Wan and Alec Guinness played the senior Jedi in the original trilogy.
McGregor teased Obi-Wan's costume in the show earlier this year, saying the Jedi Master's look will be, "slightly different than you might expect." Hayden Christensen is also returning to the Star Wars universe to reprise the role of Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in the series.
Obi-Wan Kenobi is directed by Deborah Chow, who has experience directing The Mandalorian. Other Obi-Wan Kenobi cast members include Moses Ingram, Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Sung Kang, Simone Kessell, and Benny Safdie. The series is set to premiere sometime in 2022.
