His new series, which still doesn't have a name nor any other details beyond his involvement, is expected to start filming next year. McGregor was seen by many fans as the best part of the otherwise largely maligned trilogy The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. 'It's been four years of saying, 'Well, I don't know.' Now I can say, 'Yes, we're going to do it,'' the actor said to cheers from the crowd. The biggest news from the D23 Expo is that Ewan McGregor will be returning to his celebrated role as Obi-Wan Kenobi - from the not-so-loved Star Wars prequels - in a new Disney+ series. For the citizens of Little Marlow, however, there's already a reason to dislike Obi-Wan Kenobi before it debuts on Disney+.We already knew Disney would be leaning heavily on Star Wars in its efforts to get consumers to sign up for yet another streaming service, but now the company has given a clearer idea of what they're offering from a galaxy far, far away. Obi-Wan and Darth Vader engaging in a rematch over fifteen years after Revenge of the Sith releasedВ is reason enough to check out the series, and set photos like these will only make fans that much more excited. McGregor was initially surprised to learn that the reviled prequels have fans at all, but as he steps back into his role as Obi-Wan, he has a golden chance to redeem them. If the success of The Mandalorian is any indication, Obi-Wan Kenobi will likely be another slam dunk for theВ House of MouseВ and the Star Wars brand. It alsoВ shows the sheer amount of money Disney is investing in the Star Wars franchise across films and television. The set is certainly impressive, still under construction with heavy machinery dotting the alien cityscape.

Though the series would logically start on Tatooine, there's no reason why the Obi-Wan would need toВ stay on the sparsely populated planet the whole time. It's unclear where the set is supposed to be in the Star Wars universe. Though it isn't impossible that both series will shoot on this massive set.Д¬lick here to see the Obi-Wan KenobiВ set photos

UPDATE: A new report suggests these set photos may actually be from another Disney+ Star Wars show, Andor. The set features numerous buildings of all shapes and sizes as well as sizable tents to shelter cast and crew. But disgruntled residents of the nearby village of Little Marlow, Buckinghamshire have taken issue with the ecological impact, light pollution, and increase in traffic. Now, set photos published by the British newspaper The Sun show an impressive and massive set constructed on an abandoned quarry.

With the pandemic affecting large-scale productions the world over, a limited series seems the right way to go. Its comfortable place in the timeline sets the show up to add more episodes in the future without a headache, but for now, a sensibly short and sweet story suits their purposes. The limited series will only be six episodes long. Rumor has it Obi-Wan Kenobi is also casting child actors to play Luke and Leia, and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy says it will depict the 'rematch of the century' between Obi-Wan and Darth Vader. Ewan McGregor returns as the titular character alongside Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker. The show will take place between the prequels and the original trilogy, exactly 10 years after Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. A large set designed to look like an alien city has been constructed for the Disney+ Star Wars series Obi-Wan Kenobi.
