Obi-Wan keeps the Force hidden in the new ‘Star Wars’ TV series

Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Jedi master from ‘Star Wars,’ returns for a six-part television series, as does Ewan McGregor, who played him as a young man. But forget about Jedi mind tricks and lightsaber battles.

“Obi-Wan is no longer doing that. He leads a normal life. He’s no longer living the life of a Jedi, “In an interview, McGregor, who is also the series’ executive producer, stated

“According to the trailer, these inquisitors are doing Vader’s job of tracking down the last Jedi. He intends to exterminate every last Jedi “He stated. “Because they’re looking for him, you can’t use the Force because he might reveal himself.”

It’s been 17 years since McGregor donned the Jedi robe in “Star Wars: The Revenge of the Sith,” the final instalment of the prequel trilogy.

“They were extremely difficult to create. They were difficult to act in because of their blue and green screen backgrounds, and they weren’t well received when they were released “According to the Scottish actor.

Few details about the series have been revealed, but they appear to set the stage for the first meeting of Obi-Wan and Darth Vader, the towering dark knight Anakin Skywalker had become by the end of the prequels.

McGregor, 51, is approaching the age of Alec Guinness, who played Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original “Star Wars” trilogy. Hayden Christensen returns as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader.

“It just felt like the last 17 years didn’t happen, like there was some crazy time warp or something,” McGregor said of working with him on set. “It was very strange.”

On May 27, “Obi-Wan Kenobi” will be available on Disney+.
