Pacific) to watch one episode, now you’ll stay up until 5 a.m. Eastern (2 a.m. Pacific) on Friday morning instead. Thanks, annoying streaming convention of not just launching the episodes during the actual daytime.Set at about 10 years before the original “Star Wars” — look pedants, it only got that “A New Hope” subtitle in 1981, a full 4 years after its original release and one year after “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back” — “Obi-Wan Kenobi” features the doomed ex-Jedi (played by McGregor) keeping watch over Luke Skywalker from a distance, only to get roped into some damn fool adventure of his own.Alongside McGregor in the title role, it also features the return of Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader, though how the hell that’s even going to work is beyond our force powers.

All we know is that if Darth (quiet, Obi-Wan called him that) and Kenobi end up having a duel during the events of the show, it’s going to cause mind-exploding problems with continuity.

But we’re here for it regardless. “Obi-Wan Kenobi” also stars a lot of other people, including the always awesome Sung Kang as one of the dorkier villains introduced in the animated series “Star Wars: Rebels,” the Sith inquisitor named Fifth Brother.
