ObiWanKenobi director Deborah Chow tells us Ewan McGregor was adamant that Hayden Christensen return: 'So much is connected to Anakin and Vader that it felt, to us, that it was hard to tell Kenobi's story at this period without touching on that.'
Ewan McGregor felt strongly about wanting Hayden Christensen to be involved in Obi-Wan Kenobi. Star Wars' next Disney+ series is set to premiere in a matter of days. It follows The Book of Boba Fett, which focuses on the fan-favorite bounty hunter. In Obi-Wan Kenobi, audiences will be reunited with more familiar faces led by the show's titular Jedi Master.
How did that feel to be the one to essentially get the band back together and tell Ewan,"We're getting you guys back together?" But I think, really, it came out of a place of really looking at the character [of] Kenobi, and we're so connected to the prequels, and so much of the weight that Obi-Wan is carrying is coming out of what happened at the end of Revenge of the Sith with Anakin. So much is connected to Anakin and Vader that it felt, to us, that it was hard to tell Kenobi's story at this period without touching on that. And that sort of led us, obviously, naturally, back to Hayden.
