Star Wars fans are going to have to wait just a little bit longer to witness the return of a certain legendary Jedi on Disney+, but it's not all bad news!
Star Ewan McGregor has announced that Obi-Wan Kenobi will now premiere two days later than originally advertised on Friday, May 27, but the show will debut with a double-episode. The actor shared the update in a teaser promo, but all of the footage appears to be taken from the recently released trailer.
Disney+ likely made this change to move Obi-Wan away from Ms. Marvel, which is also set to air on Wednesdays (it's set to debut on June 8), but the date shift means the Star Wars show is set to go head-to-head with Netflix’s Stranger Things, which will release Part 1 of its latest season on May 27.
Set in between the events of the prequels and the original trilogy, the show will find Kenobi watching over a young Luke Skywalker on Tatooine. When the ruthless Sith Inquisitors arrive in search of surviving Jedi, Obi-Wan sets out on a new adventure which will bring him face-to-face with his former Padawan turned bitter enemy, Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen).
The cast also includes Rupert Friend as the villainous Grand Inquisitor, Joel Edgerton and Bonnie Piesse as Owen and Beru Lars, Moses Ingram, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Sung Kang, Simone Kessell, Benny Safdie and Maya Erskine.
