A new live-action Star Wars is on its way, starring Ewan McGregor no less as Obi-Wan Kenobi. That's right, McGregor is reprising his role as the Jedi Master from the universe's prequel trilogy of movies. A six-episode miniseries, Obi-Wan Kenobi will pick up 10 years after the events of Revenge of the Sith.

The first of those six episodes was originally scheduled to premiere on Disney Plus on May 25. That release has now been pushed back to May 27 -- a Friday -- with not one, but two episodes. This is a change from the usual weekly release day for previous big Disney Plus shows, which gave us ample entertainment every Wednesday. One possible explanation for the change is that May 27 lines up with the second day of convention Star Wars Celebration Anaheim.
