Deborah Chow to Direct Obi-Wan Kenobi Series

After directing several episodes of the upcoming Star Wars TV series The Mandalorian, Deborah Chow will be returning to that galaxy far, far away to direct the Disney+ series featuring Obi-Wan Kenobi.

According to StarWars.com, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy stated, “We really wanted to select a director who is able to explore both the quiet determination and rich mystique of Obi-Wan in a way that folds seamlessly into the Star Wars saga. Based on her phenomenal work developing our characters in The Mandalorian, I’m absolutely confident Deborah is the right director to tell this story.”

Ewan McGregor will be reprising his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi for the series, which takes place between the events of Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. He will also serve as Executive Producer along with Chow, Kathleen Kennedy, Tracey Seaward (The Queen) and John Swartz (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), and Hossein Amini (The Alienist, Drive). Amini will also serve as series writer. Lucasfilm’s Executive Vice President of Production, Jason McGatlin, will co-produce.

Before directing The Mandalorian, Chow earned her geek card by directing episodes of American Gods, Better Call Saul, Lost in Space, Jessica Jones, and Mr. Robot.

Jeremiah Zohner

Founder & Executive Producer After developing a love of Star Wars and comic books as a child, Zohner was destined to be a geek. With interests touching on computers, video games, technology, books, TV and movies, and toys and collectibles, he is the epitome of a well-rounded geek. Zohner is one of the founding members of Stolendroids. After stepping away for a time to work on other endeavors, the time was right for him to make his triumphant return to the one project that he truly loves. When he’s not writing articles or podcasting, Zohner can be found spending time with his family, managing projects for a software company, or hanging out in the gym knowing that it won’t do a bit of good.
