The poster for the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi show has been revealed and fans are surprised to see that a specific video game legend has snuck into the background.
In an interview with Forbes, it's clear that actor Ewan McGregor is as happy as a clam to be donning the robes of the Jedi Master again. "I mean it’s quite interesting, after the experience of making the first three films and living through sort of their reception in the world, which wasn’t always glowing, I have to say," admitted the actor, adding that the chance to meet those who grew up with the prequels was a wholesome and validating moment in his career.
"We just had a great time," he said about the experience of filming with director Deborah Chow and teased that it's a "very fine storyline" that fans will be looking forward to. "I think it’s no secret that Hayden Christensen comes back and we got to play scenes together again as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker and it was just fantastic to work with him again. I’m not going to give away anything else about the storyline, only I think it’s really going to satisfy Star Wars fans."

Starring Joel Edgerton as Owen Lars and Bonnie Piesse as Beru Lars, as well as fresh faces like Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, O'Shea Jackson Jr., Sung Kang, Maya Erskine, Simone Kessell, and Benny Safdie, this is one heck of a cast for the anticipated prequel. However, someone else has waka-waka-waka-d their way into the show, and fans have had a lot of fun with the otherwise emotively epic poster. Take a look here:
Yes, it's silly. Yet, when you consider that fans and McGregor have been waiting for an Obi-Wan Kenobi spinoff for years and years now, it starts to make sense that they're seeing things.
