“Well, it was definitely conceived as a standalone story,” Christen, who reprised his role as Anakin/Darth Vader added. “But I would love to continue with this character. You know, I think there’s certainly more there to explore and I would be so excited to get to do so.”
“I hope it’s not the last time I play him,” said Ewan McGregor, who plays Obi-Wan Kenobi. “I had such a great time doing this, I’m sure we can think of a few more stories before I turn into Alec Guinness, don’t you think?”
Next week, Disney+ will premiere a new episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
First-look review of the series, “Whatever’s left of George Lucas’ 45-year-old vision survives here in the show’s influences, drawing from Westerns and Japanese cinema to meld Star Wars back into the shape it first took in 1977 – albeit repainted here with a flawless $150million sheen.
“Not wasting too much time on Obi-Wan’s moping, Chow guns the show forward at a furious pace, ending an action-packed double-header debut with a blast from the past and a whole lot of promise for the rest of the series.”

Obi-Wan Kenobi regains control of the situation. Fans were dangling above the series after last week’s episode 4, with many openly dissing the episode. However, episode 5 is back for redemption, as fans on Twitter expressed their delight with the episode, even proclaiming it to be the finest yet.
On Wednesday, Disney released the series’ semi-finale, which enthralled fans who were overjoyed to see Hayden Christensen reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker after 17 years. The episode began with a flashback of everyone’s favourite Jedi Kenobi, played by Ewan McGregor, and Anakin Skywalker, played by Hayden Christensen. In the series, Christensen will also portray Darth Vader. Aside from the fans who were ecstatic to see Skywalker return on the screen, many others praised filmmaker Deborah Chow for the episode’s sheer brilliance.
