OBI-WAN KENOBI picks up 10 years after Revenge of the Sith. Once-promising Jedi warrior Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) has become the evil Darth Vader, and his twin children, Luke and Leia Skywalker, are in their separate adoptive homes, each without knowing that the other exists. Anakin’s former mentor, Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor), is hiding out and working as a butcher, while Vader’s Inquisitors are hunting and killing the few remaining Jedi. But when 10-year-old Leia is kidnapped by bounty hunters, Obi-Wan digs out his old lightsaber and sets out to find her.
