We're less than a month out from "Obi-Wan Kenobi," the next Star Wars series to stream on Disney+. Though Disney has put out plenty of Star Wars content since it acquired Lucasfilm back in 2012, this one feels extra special. The six-part limited series will see Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen reprise their roles as Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader from the prequel trilogy, and will feature other familiar faces like Joel Edgerton as Uncle Owen and Bonnie Piesse as Aunt Beru. Composer John Williams even made a rare jump from movies to television to write the main theme.
Appearing on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," McGregor revealed that in order to get back in the headspace to portray Jedi Master Obi-Wan he revisited the Star Wars prequel trilogy. "I watched all of them to prepare for this because the last one I did, we shot Episode III in Sydney, Australia, in 2003, I think," the actor said. "So it's been quite some time — almost 20 years."
