Obi-Wan Kenobi: A new series of Star Wars is not a sequel to Mandalorian

Following the book by Mandalorian and Boba Fett, the Disney + platform will introduce its new original Star Wars, Obi-Wan Kenob, this week. This six-episode mini-series shows Evan McGregor re-acting as the Knight of the Jedi, seventeen years after the release of Revenge of the Sith.

However, if the first two series of Star Wars were directly related, Obi-Wan Kenobi in turn looks at himself independently, as his intrigue takes place several decades ago, especially in the chronology that lies between the two original trilogy.

So designed as a narrative bridge between episodes III and IV (as well as the animated series Star Wars: The Rebels and the Bad Band), this mini-series still features Boba Fett and former Jedi Ahsoka Tano, who both met in the saga. Clone Wars.

No knowledge of the expanded universe inside Star Wars is required to evaluate the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, which can simply be described as a direct continuation of the revenge of the Sith. The first two episodes of the show will air this Friday, May 27 on Disney +, followed by a weekly episode of the series on the platform at one-episode speeds.
