Star Wars spin-offs are the backbone of the original programming on Disney+, and the Obi-Wan Kenobi series is one of the most promising projects they announced so far. The more we learn about it, the more excited we are, and here’s everything you should know about this show.

Plot Line

The plot of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series is still being kept under the wraps, but it is expected to take place ten years after the events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith when Obi-Wan Kenobi faced his greatest defeat after Anakin Skywalker turned to the dark side and became Darth Vader.

Cast

Ewan McGregor is set to return as Obi-Wan Kenobi, but he won’t be the only one reprising his iconic Star Wars role. Hayden Christensen will make a comeback as Anakin Skywalker, while Joel Edgerton and Bonnie Piesse are set to return as Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru.

The rest of the cast will feature newcomers to the franchise: Moses Ingram (The Queen’s Gambit), Kumail Nanjiani (The Big Sick), Indira Varma (Game of Thrones), Rupert Friend (Homeland), O’Shea Jackson Jr. (Straight Outta Compton), Sung Kang (Fast & Furious), Simone Kessell (Reckoning) and Benny Safdie (Uncut Gems director).

Release Date

Obi-Wan Kenobi still doesn’t have an official release date, but it’s expected to start shooting this month. Deborah Chow, who previously helmed two episodes of The Mandalorian, is set to serve as the director of all six episodes.

It’s still early to tell if 2021 will be a good year for TV, especially after many shows delayed their production or ended up being canceled in the face of the global pandemic. Yes, some exciting new projects are still coming our way and many of them seem to follow a similar formula.

Reality TV

Love it or hate it, reality TV will be all the rage in 2021, and even streaming services are fully embracing it. Netflix already has a couple of hits on their hands, including Love is Blind and The Circle, and Hulu is ready to get into the game after signing deals with the Kardashian and D’Amelio family.

Disney+ Boom

The Mandalorian is arguably the only hit show that Disney+ gave us since its launch in 2019, but that’s about to change. Many of the Marvel and Star Wars series we’ve been waiting for will finally premiere in 2021, starting with WandaVision.

Endless Reboots

Reboots are certainly not a novelty on the TV scene, and they’ll be going stronger than ever in 2021. HBO Max recently announced they’re bringing Sex and the City back, and the reboots of Gossip Girl, Clueless, and LOTR are already on the way.
