Obi-Wan Kenobi is 'like a movie' with a singular, long story that gets broken into weekly episodes.

✖ Star Wars and Lucasfilm are still young in their live-action portfolio, having only The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett released on Disney+ to date. Soon, Obi-Wan Kenobi will bring Ewan McGregor and a number of actors from the Star Wars prequel trilogy back into iconic roles for more live-action adventures on the streaming platform.

During a press conference in promotion of the Obi-Wan series, McGregor opened up about how the Obi-Wan series compares to the Star Wars films he starred in at the top of the century."I mean, the technology is so different from when we made the original movies, that it felt like a different experience anyway," McGregor explained.

"I think because it was a TV show, the beauty of it, because it's a series is that we've got longer to tell the story," McGregor said."But because [director Deborah Chow] directed them all and it's her singular vision throughout, it did feel like we were just making one movie. And the episodic nature of our series, it falls really cleverly in the storyline, but it is one driving narrative.

Obi-Wan Kenobi is going to offer six episodes to fans, starting with its premiere on May 27. The run time for each episode has not yet been revealed. With each episode likely running close to an hour if The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett are any indication, Obi-Wan will offer a saga which runs for around 5 or 6 hours in total.

Oh. You mean like a tv series

I think they have to specify this since the mando and boba fett are like 90% side quest episodes

Yes

This is what Solo should have been.

Hope it's good!

Lets hope so

I hope that they are not 30 minutes long each...

Hopefully the rumors aren't true & the movie isn't about Reva, with guest star Obi-Wan Kenobi

Wow it's almost like it's a series but shorter. a miniseries if you will

Just like a lot of tv shows

Isn’t that like the definition of a TV series?

Lol!! Just simply say it's a limited series..... Ha🤣

Which is why I will be watching it all at once when all the episodes have aired

NOOOOOOOOOO

Get ready for the obvious bait n switch that’s going to happen

So basically it’s like every other limited series LOL

Obi-Wan Kenobi Grand Inquisitor Actor Didn't Watch Star Wars RebelsThough Rupert Friend is playing the Grand Inquisitor on ObiWanKenobi, he made the decision not to watch Star Wars Rebels beforehand: 'I really wanted to honor the character as I saw him.' That’s a STUPID reason not to research his characterization beforehand!! He was only in 10 episodes, was it so hard to study for 5 hours of tv? I actively don’t understand the thought process behind this whatsoever Completely missing the point of Star Wars lol
