ObiWan Kenobi Star Loved Filming Show So Much He’s Hoping for Reshoots

Obi-Wan Kenobi star O’Shea Jackson Jr. enjoyed working on the Star Wars spin-off series so much, he’s hoping that there will be reshoots so he can go back. The upcoming limited series will see Ewan McGregor reprise his role as the titular Jedi Master from the prequel trilogy alongside Hayden Christensen, who will be returning to the role of Darth Vader. Bonnie Piesse and Joel Edgerton are also returning as Luke’s aunt and uncle, Beru and Owen Lars, respectively. Jackson Jr. is just one member of an expansive confirmed ensemble cast that includes Kumail Nanjiani, Moses Ingram, Indira Varma, and many others.

Originally pitched as a spinoff film but reworked after the box-office failure of Solo: A Star Wars Story, Obi-Wan Kenobi is set ten years after the events of Revenge Of The Sith. Kenobi, now a hermit, continues to watch over Luke Skywalker from a distance on Tatooine. The series is expected to release sometime in 2022, and details about the plot or the many new characters are still being kept firmly under wraps. However, the short sizzle reel for Obi-Wan released in November appeared to confirm a long-awaited rematch between Kenobi and Vader, sharing concept art that depicted an epic lightsaber battle.

Now, Jackson Jr. creates even more hype for the limited series by affirming how much he loved playing his mystery role. In an interview with PopCulture.com, the Straight Outta Compton actor states it was an “honor” to work for Star Wars and says it was “the best job” he’s ever had. Jackson Jr. also jokes about hoping for reshoots just so he could go back to set. Read his full quote below:

It was such an honor to work for Star Wars. I’m such a nerd. If anybody who really knows me knows I’m a nerd to the core. That was the best job I ever had in my life. I just want to go back. I hope there’s reshoots. I can’t wait for people to see it. I can’t wait to see a trailer. I’m over here drooling like everybody else.

Jackson Jr. is among many fans who are desperate for a Kenobi trailer to release – given that the latest Star Wars spin-off, The Book of Boba Fett, releases in a few weeks, there’s a lot of anticipation building for what Lucasfilm and Disney have planned for the sci-fi franchise throughout the next year. Many see the limited series as a chance to redeem the overall poor reputation associated with the Star Wars prequels. Plus, one of the most exciting things about the series is seeing McGregor and Christensen reprise their roles after nearly seventeen years.

Jackson Jr.’s affirmations of how much fun he had on set and how excited he is for fans to see the show is a good sign that Obi-Wan Kenobi will be another success for Disney+, following in the footsteps of the critically acclaimed The Mandalorian. As fans eagerly anticipate more promotional content for the series, teasers like this one from Jackson Jr. steadily build the hype. Unfortunately, though, he doesn’t offer any clues as to when a trailer can be expected, so the wait must continue.
