It's been nearly two decades since the Star Wars and sci-fi movie fans were introduced to the franchise's prequel trilogy that ended with its third film Revenge Of The Sith in 2005. Fans knew that Anakin Skywalker lost to Obi-Wan Kenobi in the duel battle and left badly wounded. Yet he survived and went on to become Darth Vader, a disciple of the dark side in the original Star Wars trilogy (1977–83). This didn't stop many die-hard fans from frequent discussions and theorising about what happened in between the events of Episode III and Episode IV.
The timeline is now being explored in the six-part limited series Obi-Wan Kenobi. Directed by Deborah Chow, the first two episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi are now streaming on Disney+ Hotstar, with subsequent episodes premiering on Wednesdays. The Star Wars spin-off series has some familiar faces thrown into the mix, including Ewan McGregor as the title character, and Hayden Christensen, a Canadian actor who reprises his prequel trilogy roles as the asthmatic dark lord Darth Vader.
