Summary

On this episode we speculate on what Obi-Wan Kenobi we're going to get in the upcoming Disney Plus series, as Ewan McGregor has acknowledged he needs to work his way closer to the Alec Guinness version of the character as the timeline for his series is much closer to Guinness's Kenobi timeframe. We also bring back our segment One With the Force where we answer questions like - Many fans want to see Ahsoka and Luke meet, but name another pair of Star Wars characters you would like to see meet if they were able to meet in one scene? We close things out by featuring your tweets in #ResistanceTransmissions. The Resistance base is open to all, so spread the word about our Star Wars podcast and join us!
