I hope the first episode opens with...
"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..."

News Obi-Wan Kenobi series premiering on May 27
- Thread starter Mach5
- Start date
For that, it's arguable that all you need is some of the Anakin and Padme dialogue from ROTS. Anakin may have learned this - how Obi-Wan felt - from Padme. ( Other than that, he did try to get him to back down at one point during the fight, for whatever that's worth. )
I said I wouldn't watch this after not liking Boba-Fett but... well, I like Ewan Macgregor so... I'm going to give it a shot tonight.
Yay!
Physical dvd release coming April 30th

Someone break the news to McGregor that they are calling it 'The Complete Series'.
Good idea. Best duel and dramatic death would do well to be left undone with Obi-Wan and Maul.
Besides, that particular episode was perfection. Retconning would be a disservice to all.
Considering the Ahsoka series and the connective tissue there, I doubt sincerely they’ll retcon Rebels.
Yeah, if they ever redo that scene in live action, you can bet it'd be a beat-for-beat recreation.
Just as with the seemingly inevitable dovetail between Rebels & Andor with Mon Mothma's flight from the senate; there is a way to retell that story in a different medium without it being redundant.
All we saw of that whole thing was Ezra's perspective. Maul could have been wandering that desert for weeks, or months while Ben played cat and mouse games with him before his resorting to bringing Ezra into the mix. There could be a whole other story going on there, and all we saw was a brief intersection. Plenty of room to play with if need be.
I'm not saying they have to go there, or even will at all; just that it's not impossible.

No.
I doubt they will, since it's set so close to ANH and features the Alec Guinness-aged character. I know they've now had Genevieve O'Reilly play post-ROTJ Mon Mothma but I suspect they won't venture that close to Old Ben with Ewan.
I don't see any issue with Ewan as an aging Obi-Wan.
I don't see that as a reason not to do it. Ewan is only a decade away from the age Alec Guinness was when he first played the role, so I could easily see that happening sooner rather than later.
Besides at this point I'm pretty sure that when most fans think of Obi-Wan Kenobi, the version that first comes to mind first is either Ewan or James Arnold Taylor, or both. So i think there would be a lot of interest, especially from those that grew up on the PT or Clone Wars to see Ewan as Old Ben.
***Hands over ears*** No no no, Alex Guinness is still my Obi- Wan and surely the one everyone thinks off.
Please allow me to live in denial as an old man.
