Disney+ Day takes place on September 8, and the streaming service has now revealed that, among the offerings, will be a special exploring the making of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
With never-before-seen, behind-the-scenes footage, colourful personal stories and meaningful moments, Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi's Return showcases the making of the latest Lucasfilm original limited series. This insightful documentary from Lucasfilm and Supper Club explores the return of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to the screen - and Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen to their respective classic roles.
Director Deborah Chow, cast and crew reflect on their journey to tell a new story with iconic Star Wars characters Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader and Princess Leia, while introducing new heroes and villains into the saga along the way.
Complete with visits to the creature shop, props department and more, Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi’s Return features the side of filmmaking that makes Star Wars so unique - the respect and passion for the generation-spanning legacy and the beloved characters. Needless to say, we have a feeling this will be a must-watch, especially if the trailer is anything to go by.
In that, we see how a variety of scenes were shot, with Christensen at one point embracing Chow while in full makeup as the scarred Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader.
We really hope that the final battle between Obi-Wan and Vader receives a lot of attention here because that was outstanding. Either way, September 8 can't get here soon enough, and it looks like the streaming giant is pulling out all the stops for what promises to be a thrilling Disney+ Day.
