Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi's Return

Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi's Return (2022) is the behind-the-scenes documentary special you can watch online on iFILM, tracking how the Star Wars limited series came together. Director David Gelb takes the camera past the set walls.

The hook is the reunion: Ewan McGregor slipping back into Obi-Wan's robes and Hayden Christensen returning to Darth Vader's helmet nearly two decades on. The special follows showrunner-director Deborah Chow as her team bridges the gap between two trilogies, with lightsaber choreography, prosthetics work, and the LED Volume stage that replaced the old green screen. Cast members Moses Ingram, Vivien Lyra Blair and Rupert Friend talk through finding a tone that honors nostalgia without coasting on it.

This is one for viewers who care less about the magic and more about how it gets built: rehearsals, doubts, edits, and the raw feeling of actors stepping back into roles that defined them. An hour that changes how the series itself reads. Stream Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi's Return (2022) online on iFILM.
