Ewan McGregor Knew About the Obi-Wan Series for FOUR YEARS and Said Nothing!?

Obi-Wan Kenobi screaming
I'm a patient person (or I'd like to think that I am), but the knowledge that Lucasfilm has been toying with the idea of an Obi-Wan Kenobi standalone story for the last 4 years, and Ewan McGregor knew about it, is the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back.

The Redemption of Annie Wilkes: Castle Rock Season 2 Subverts the Stereotypes Around Female Fandom
