Obi-Wan Kenobi is coming back to Disney Plus next month

Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi's Return is a one-off special that will give audiences a look at what went on behind the scenes during the filming of Obi-Wan Kenobi.


Ewan McGregor's highly anticipated return as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the limited series was all that it's cracked up to be and more. Its end left fans desperate for another season, which is far from a sure thing yet. As we wait for that fateful announcement, which might not come, Disney+ is tiding audiences over with the release of Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi's Return.

We're still hoping that Disney will greenlight a second season of Obi-Wan Kenobi.

This one-off special episode will take audiences behind the scenes for a more intimate look at everything that went on to make Obi-Wan Kenobi happen. The best part is that A Jedi's Return isn't far off.

According to Disney, A Jedi's Return will premiere on Disney+ day on September 8, which is a little over two weeks away from now.

If we don't get a second season of Obi-Wan Kenobi, we're at least hoping that we'll see him return in a future series.

In addition to Obi-Wan Kenobi footage, A Jedi's Return will also throw in never-before-seen scenes from the prequel trilogy as well as interviews featuring the show's cast and crew, the director, Deborah Chow, and Moses Ingram, who did a masterful job at portraying the Third Sister, Reva Sevander. If nothing else, A Jedi's Return will serve as the definitive version of the journey of McGregor's Obi-Wan and Hayden Christensen's Anakin Skywalker.

Disney has always been spot on when it comes to its Star Wars documentaries. Last year, we got Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian. It gave us a deeper appreciation of the lengths that the studio went through to bring Mark Hamill back as Luke Skywalker. Based on the quality of the previous Star Wars documentaries, we're expecting great things from A Jedi's Return. The only thing missing is for Disney to announce Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2 at the end of the special episode.

Speaking of Disney+ day, gamers finally have a good reason to look forward to the Mouse House's annual festivities. It's been confirmed that the Disney and Marvel Games Showcase will take place at D23 Expo on September 29. Fingers crossed, we'll hear more about Star Wars Jedi: Survivor at the event. It's widely speculated that Survivor will tie into the events of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
