The anticipation for the Disney Plus Obi-Wan Kenobi show has been building ever since it was announced. The release date is still unknown, but many have their theories on when the series will be released to eager fans. There is also speculation about what some of the plot points might entail and who might star in this new show!

Obi-Wan Kenobi release date on Disney Plus:

Obi-Wan Kenobi begins production in April 2021. The series has no official release date yet, but we predict 2022 is when we’ll see the show, possibly towards the middle of next year.

The Plotline for Obi@-Wan Kenobi:

There’s no telling what the plot will entail, but many fans are hoping it’ll be a prequel to Obi-Wan Kenobi’s life before he became Ben Kenobi. There may also be flashbacks of his time with Duchess Satine and Anakin Skywalker, as well as other periods in his life that we don’t see in the movies or Clone Wars series. We can only hope!

We expect to see a lot more news about this show in the coming months. What do you think of Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney Plus? Are you excited about its release date? Share your thoughts with other Star Wars fans (or those who may not be) below!

The Star Cast for the show:

The show is still casting for additional roles, including both older and younger actors who have some resemblance to Ewan McGregor. The main character, however, has already been cast – Ewan McGregor himself reprises his role from Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace! It will surely feel like. However, it will be played by Ewan McGregor.

Who’s Obi-Wan Kenobi?

If you really don’t know, you should watch a few Star Wars movies. The quick version: Obi-Wan Kenobi is a Jedi master who first appeared on screen in 1977’s A New Hope, played by Alec Guinness. This movie saw him helping young Luke Skywalker take his first steps into the larger world of the Force. Later in that movie, Obi-Wan was struck down by his former apprentice Darth Vader, who was ultimately revealed to be Anakin Skywalker, Luke’s father and a Jedi turned to the Dark Side.

Despite his death, Obi-Wan returned as a spirit (a Force ghost, in Star Wars-speak) to guide Luke in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. He even gave Rey a little help in The Force Awakens and The Rise of Skywalker.

Are there any spoilers for the series?

There are also many rumours and speculations; about how the show; will unfold; some think it’ll be a prelude, telling the story; of Obi-Wan Kenobi; before he becomes; one with the Force; while others; believe that it may include flashbacks or other time jumps; within episodes. In contrast, there’s another theory, claiming that this is not actually going to be an “Obi-Wan” series; at all but rather one focused on Obi Wan’s apprentice; Quinlan Vos, who falls under his master’s teachings; after being saved from the dark side.

This is a prelude to Obi-Wan Kenobi’s story, and it will explore how he was trained by Qui-Gon Jinn; in The Phantom Menace before becoming one with the Force. It may also include flashbacks or time jumps within episodes. Quinlan Vos could be an apprentice of his master, but there has been no confirmation yet.

Summary:

This is the latest theory surrounding Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney’s upcoming streaming service that will debut later this year. But what do we know so far? It has been confirmed by Variety back in February that Ewan McGregor would be returning to his iconic role as the Jedi Master, but as yet, there have been no plot details revealed or release date set. Rumours are circulating online about how long it might take, but most people seem to agree that given everything else happening at Disney right now, it could well be pushed back from its original 2021 target and arrive after 2022 instead! One thing we can speculate on is whether or not this series will follow Qu. At the moment, it wouldn’t be until 2022.
