Given that people have been anticipating this documentary since the series concluded in June, Disney+ is gearing up to release the highly anticipated documentary on its big day this autumn.
The official summary for Disney+ reads:
“This program looks at the return of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to the big screen, as well as Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen in their legendary roles. Deborah Chow leads the actors and crew in the creation of new heroes and villains, as well as new renditions of familiar Star Wars characters, and an epic plot that powerfully connects the saga films.”

Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi’s Return on Disney+ has a previously unseen video.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi’s Return will give an inside look at the breakthrough technologies that prompted Ewan McGregor to wear the renowned Jedi robes once more in the series that debuted earlier this year. Lucasfilm and Disney cooperated to produce the long-awaited documentary that reveals what happened behind the scenes during the development of the critically acclaimed six-episode series Obi-Wan Kenobi, which chronicles the resurrection of the Jedi Knight ten years after Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.
As seen in the official trailer, the interesting and informative documentary from Lucasfilm and Supper Club includes never-before-seen BTS clips and exclusive interviews with actors Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi) and Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader), as well as director and showrunner Deborah Chow, as they discuss the production process. The teaser concludes with Vivien Lyra Blair (Princess Leia Organa), the youthful and charming actress, in shadow, implying that she will most likely feature in the documentary.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi’s Return provides a peek at cutting-edge technology.
In addition to unique conversations with the show’s actors and producers, Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi’s Return is available on Disney+. will provide a discussion of the VFX used in the series’ development, including The Volume, a groundbreaking VFX system used in The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and other Star Wars episodes. Outer space or any planet in the expanding Star Wars universe may be efficiently projected onto the displays as the players act immediately in front of them. This removes the need for blue/green screen and costly location filming.
When the program first aired, Ewan McGregor lauded the technology as a “game changer,” highlighting his frustration with the challenge of performing in sequences as more components are added. McGregor allegedly spoke on technological advancements at a conference, saying,
“It was a game changer. The first three episodes, notably Episodes II and III, have a lot of blue and green screens. It was difficult to create anything plausible when there was nothing there.”
He continued,
“Here we were in this fantastic set where if you’re shooting in the desert, the sand is everywhere you look, and if you’re flying through space, the stars are flying by you, it’s really cool.”
