Disney+Hotstar’s limited series Obi-Wan Kenobi led by Ewan McGregor is all set to debut on the streaming service on May 25. The announcement was made by Disney Plus on social media by revealing a brand new poster. McGregor will reprise his role as the iconic Jedi Master, a part he previously played in three Star Wars films - The Phantom Menace (1999), Attack of the Clones (2002) and Revenge of the Sith (2005).

The story begins 10 years after the dramatic events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith where Obi-Wan Kenobi faced his greatest defeat—the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, who turned to the dark side as evil Sith Lord Darth Vader.
