365telugu.com Online News,Hyderabad, 6th June, 2022: The wait is finally over for Star Wars fans as Obi-Wan Kenobi, the next Star Wars series, is now streaming on Disney+ Hotstar. This new limited Star Wars series comes years after the dramatic events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, where Obi-Wan Kenobi faced his greatest defeat—the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, who turned to the dark side as an evil Sith Lord – Darth Vader. Reprising his role as the iconic Jedi Master, Ewan McGregor is set to headline the series along with Hayden Christensen as evil Sith Lord Darth Vader. The new series, directed by Deborah Chow, explores how Obi-Wan went from warrior hero in the prequels to the Zen Jedi Master seen in the original trilogy with an atmospheric, gritty, and emotional character-based story. Fans will now be able to watch the first two episodes of the series in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam, with new episodes dropping every week on the platform.
Ewan McGregor, who returns to the Star Wars galaxy as the venerable Jedi Master for the first time since Revenge of the Sith, finds Obi-Wan in a very different place psychologically and spiritually than he was during the prequel trilogy. “We just started with this idea that he was broken,” said McGregor. “He was a man broken by the experience of Order 66 and the fact that he’d lost his faith. I thought it was interesting to take him into a darker place and then over the course of the series, see how he finds his faith again and gets back to being the Obi-Wan that we knew and loved,” McGregor added.
Joining McGregor and Hayden Christensen in the cast are Moses Ingram, Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Sung Kang, Simone Kessell and Benny Safdie.Follow the journey of Obi-Wan Kenobi as the Jedi Master is now streaming on Disney+ Hotstar in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam .
