After years of rumors, [Ewan McGregor confirmed today](https://twitter.com/DisneyD23/status/1165058557789687808?ref=andrewliptak.com) that he would be reprising his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in a new series for Disney+.

[Word broke earlier this week](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/star-wars-ewan-mcgregor-talks-an-obi-wan-kenobi-series-disney-1201364?ref=andrewliptak.com) that McGregor was in talks to return to the franchise for a TV series, reprising the role from the *Star Wars* prequel trilogy. The series is set to shoot next year, but Lucasfilm didn’t announce a title, plot, or release date.

We have seen the character in the years since he appeared in the films: he was a fixture in *The Clone Wars* and *Star Wars: Rebels* animated shows (where he was voiced by James Arnold Taylor). In the latter, we saw him living on Tatooine, where he had a final confrontation with his long-standing nemesis, Darth Maul, five years prior to the events of *A New Hope.* 

The show will be the third live-action series to debut on the platform, after *The Mandalorian* (which releases later this year), and the untitled Cassian Andor / *Rogue One* prequel series.
