Hello There: Setting The Stage For ’Obi-Wan Kenobi’ | What’s On Disney Plus Podcast #183

Just four weeks from release, anticipation is sky-high for Obi-Wan Kenobi – a six-episode Disney Plus original series premiering May 27, the same week that Star Wars marks its 45th anniversary since premiering in theaters. 

Ewan McGregor returns as the titular Jedi Knight, Hayden Christensen is back as Darth Vader . . . and there’s quite a few unknowns in this series set 10 years after Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. What should we expect? 

We’ve convened two Star Wars megafans – former Star Wars Celebration speaker Aaron Welty, and historian/storyteller Gabriel Greaves – to unpack why they’re excited about this series, with host Roger Palmer and guest host Josh Shepherd keeping the conversation moving. Aaron appeared previously to discuss The Mandalorian, and Gabriel has been a guest multiple times.
