Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi Series Filming Starts In Sept!

Get ready Star Wars fans because another origin series is getting ready to start. Yes, Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi series is set to start filming next month. Read on for more…

CelebNMovies247.com has the latest on the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series which will air only on Disney +.

Ewan McGregor, 49, will star in the upcoming ‘Star Wars’ spin-off series based on the iconic Obi-Wan Kenobi character.

McGregor played Obi-Wan in the prequel trilogy of movies between 1999 and 2005 – and it has now been revealed the series will begin filming in September.

It was previously reported filming wouldn’t start until 2021 after the show after the series fell victim to a number of setbacks including the coronavirus pandemic.

According to the Making Star Wars website, production has been brought forward and will now begin next month, with exterior shots set to take place in Southern California.

Ewan recently said he will enjoy playing Obi-Wan “much more” in the upcoming series than he did in the successful movie franchise because he thinks it will feel more “real”.

He said:

I’m just going to enjoy it all much more. [The prequels were] quite technically complicated, I remember. It was all blue screen and green screen. I don’t know if you’ve seen any of the behind-the-scenes ‘Mandalorian’ series, but they employ this incredible screen and I don’t even begin to know how it works, but it’s pretty amazing. So when you’re on set, if you’re in a snowscape or something, well when you look around you see that and it makes you feel like you’re in the place. It’s going to be more real for us.

According to insiders, outside shots are complete. Now, primary production is moving to Pinewood Studios in the UK, but no start date for the UK filming has been confirmed.
