So many fans are waiting looking forward to the upcoming release of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, in which we should not only find McGregor in the title role, but which will also mark the great return of actor Hayden Christensenin the Star Wars universe, who will also reprise his role as former Padawan and new Sith Lord as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. We also know that the two characters will be brought to life. face each other, in a duel that will be of very high intensity; according to Christensen.

But given; the timeline in which the series Obi-Wan Kenobiunfolds, fans will be able to experience a previously uncharted time in live-action. Set between the prelogy and the events of Star Wars, Episode IV: A New Hope (1977), McGregor will then resume the role of an Obi-Wan who hides afterward; the tragedy of Order 66. And like all the other remaining Jedi, he will be relentlessly hunted down. This should bring important changes to Obi-Wan, including this constraint of not being able to use the Force freely.

In an interview with ComicBook, McGregor was questioned. about the possibility to surpass or equal his previous lightsaber battles, which have become emblematic. It was then that he declared; :

We just have to wait and see. […] You know, I have to use a very uncivilized weapon at the beginning of the series, because I’m a little rusty, you know? Obi-Wan is not… He is no longer able to use the Force, so he is no longer trained at all. So I don’t know, you’ll have to wait and see.

And with the Inquisitors constantly hunting down Jedi on behalf of Darth Vader, it’s easy to see why Obi-Wan must lay low if he wants to survive. After failing to to prevent his padawan Anakin Skywalker from turning to the side obscure, Obi-Wan seems to see an opportunity; to right his mistakes by training young Luke Skywalker, in hopes that he will become better than his father. McGregor explained:

He must therefore be very careful to not to draw attention to himself by using the Force. At the same time, the last responsibility he has towards his old life is to watch over Luke Skywalker, whom he left behind. to Owen and Beru on their farm. He therefore does it at; distance. I think it’s clear that Uncle Owen and [Obi-Wan] don’t…maybe disagree on Luke Skywalker. So he does ça à distance, but he is a very different man. And he doesn’t feel like the same man as the Obi-Wan from the prequels anymore.

Throughout his whole explanation, we don’t really know if the Jedi Master can no longer use the Force because he is cut off from it; or simply because he does not want to reveal his identity, although this second option remains the most plausible. &Acute that most Force users have been hunted down and executed, so we understand why he would be forced to stop using it. Especially since there are still Sith who could resent its use, and if it only seeks to protecting Luke is something he will have to avoid. all cost. It will also be an opportunity to see the transition between the young Obi-Wan of the prelogy and that of the original trilogy with Alec Guiness.
