Obi-Wan Kenobi: Cast, Synopsis, Spoilers
Disney+
Obi-Wan Kenobi stars Ewan McGregor in the titular role and Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker, both reprising their roles from the Star Wars prequels. The new Star Wars TV show is set about 10 years after Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, following the events of Kenobi’s greatest defeat — losing his best friend and apprentice as he morphed from Anakin Skywalker to the infamous Sith Lord (Darth Vader).
The series is also presumably set a few years before Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, meaning Luke Skywalker is still a young child and Kenobi is (probably) exiled somewhere on Tatooine.

Disney+ has every Star Wars movie and TV show ever made. This means you can watch new originals like The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett and old classics like the original Star Wars trilogy, including Star Wars: A New Hope, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.
