"It was a pretty incredible honor to tell a new story with these characters at this point in their lives," Chow said of the series. Ingram joked, "I don't know how I finessed this." They also made the major announcement that the first two episodes of the show would premiere at Star Wars Celebration before hitting Disney+ on Friday.
McGregor previously said that he would love to do a second season of "Obi-Wan Kenobi," but there was no announcement about more episodes at the event.
