Obi-Wan giveth and taketh away. The wait for the Obi-Wan Kenobi limited series is going to be only two days longer now, right smack dab in the middle of Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2022 (I won’t be going this year unfortunately, breaking my streak, but we’ll have coverage). Ewan McGregor was kind enough to tell us of the switch and, even though it’s his birthday today, offered us a gift for having to wait two more days to see him in the role again: the first two episodes will premiere May 27 (with subsequent episode out on Wednesdays)! It’s already a short show, so I was a little disappointed it’ll be over sooner, but more Obi-Wan right away is never a bad thing. We’ll have any more trailers and details as they appear, but make sure to check back to the Manor on May 27 for our reviews, though in the meantime check out our coverage of the recent first teaser trailer!
Elsewhere, the first excerpt for Brotherhood, out May 10, features the first meeting of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Asajj Ventress in the earliest days of the Clone Wars. We’ve been lucky enough to receive an early copy, and I can’t tell you anything besides I said “wow” a lot so far, and we’ll have reviews of the book up May 10 for sure.
