We were chomping at the bit to talk with director Deborah Chow
about her all-new

She shares so much at an intimate roundtable of Star Wars media,
including Tricia Barr (

Deborah Chow directed fan-favorite episodes of The Mandalorian
before being handed the reins to the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. Her
insights into the storytelling process will only make everyone more
excited for the show, debuting on Disney+ Friday, May 27th.

From Lucasfilm comes “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” the new limited
Star Wars series created exclusively for
Disney+.
The series stars Ewan McGregor, reprising his role as the
iconic Jedi Master. “Obi-Wan Kenobi” 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.
Hayden Christensen, who portrayed Vader in “Revenge of
the Sith,” returns to the role for the first time in “Obi-Wan
Kenobi.” Joining McGregor and Christensen in the cast are
Moses Ingram, Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Kumail Nanjiani,
Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Sung Kang,
Simone Kessell, and Benny Safdie.
“Obi-Wan Kenobi” is directed by Deborah Chow who is also
the showrunner and an executive producer.
“Obi-Wan Kenobi” will premiere exclusively on Disney+ on
Friday, May 27, with the first two episodes. Following the
premiere, the series will stream weekly on Wednesdays, until the
finale on Wednesday, June 22.
Fangirls Going Rogue was invited to a media roundtable on
the Obi-Wan Kenobi Press Tour because we ask all the fun and nerdy
Star Wars questions.
