The latest "Star Wars" original series on Disney Plus brings Ewan McGregor back to the role of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi after 17 years. "Obi-Wan Kenobi" hit Disney Plus on May 27 with two episodes, and continued with weekly releases through the finale on June 22.

Obi-Wan Kenobi is one of the main characters of the "Star Wars" prequel trilogy and the mentor of Luke Skywalker, the original "Star Wars" hero.

The series begins with Kenobi in exile on the familiar desert planet of Tatooine after the fall of the Jedi Order and the rise of the Galactic Empire. Kenobi watches over a young Luke Skywalker from a distance, but is also being tracked by Imperial Inquisitors looking to eliminate the last of the Jedi.

The character has appeared in many "Star Wars" movies and shows since the franchise's inception in 1977, but this is the first series to explore Kenobi during this time period. Other Disney Plus original shows set in the "Star Wars" universe include "The Mandalorian" and its spin-off series "The Book of Boba Fett."
