Ewan McGregor reprises his role as the iconic space wizard in this new live-action series
Following a prolonged vacation from the Star Wars Universe, Ewan McGregor slips back into the flowing robes of the iconic Jedi Knight who'll one day lead Luke Skywalker toward his destiny. Hayden Christensen also returns to suit up in Darth Vader’s black garb after a 17-year absence. The rest of the main cast includes Rupert Friend , Moses Ingram , Sung Kang , Joel Edgerton , Bonnie Piesse , and Grant Feely .
His internal failures at preventing Qui-Gon's murder at the hands of Darth Maul and keeping Anakin on the proper path will remain an open wound as he keeps vigilant watch over Little Luke, who's growing up fast on Owen and Beru Lars' moisture farm. Also of note, Obi-Wan is apparently unaware that Anakin is still alive and was rescued from the lava shoreline onafter their heated showdown. He's using a basic blaster weapon instead of his lightsaber in the trailers, since that would immediately tip anyone off as to his alignment with the Jedi Order. And the legendary space wizard is further impaired due to the fact that he can't risk using the Force since Inquisitors would immediately sense his presence and discover his hiding place.
Needless to say, this is a vulnerable Obi-Wan that we've never seen before and with his impairments it will be interesting to see how his wits and instincts make up for any handicaps.If just watching Disney's latest Star Wars show isn't enough for you, check out our picks for the
