When Does Obi-Wan Kenobi Take Place on the Star Wars Canon Timeline?
Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi, the six-episode limited series on Disney+, brings back the fan-favorite Jedi Master but at a very different point in his life. No longer sitting on the Jedi Council on Coruscant or fighting the battles of the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan is in exile, hiding out on Tatooine and watching over little Luke Skywalker, who is still years away from becoming the hero of A New Hope.
The series stars Ewan McGregor as an older Obi-Wan who has seen better days. Not only does he live in a cave on a remote desert planet run by scum but he’s still haunted by his past. In fact, the Jedi Master has much to reckon with in the new series, including his failure to save Anakin Skywalker from the dark side and the lure of the Sith. It’s not all that surprising that Uncle Owen wants Obi-Wan to stay away from Luke.
