Obi-Wan Kenobi series rumored to feature another fan favorite Jedi master

The Obi-Wan series in the works has a lot of Star Wars fans excited. Recent reports surrounding the series now suggest the presence of another famous Jedi Master in this Star Wars spin-off. 

According to the report Qui-Gon Jinn is rumored to appear in the show. Qui-Gon played by Liam Neeson made his first appearance in the 1999 Star Wars Episode 1 -The Photoman Mence and was Obi-Wan's Jedi Master and the one who discovers Anakin Skywalker and his strong connection to the Force and decides to train him.

Obi-Wan is set ten years after the events of Star Wars Episode 3 - Revenge of the Sith and is set in the desert planet of Tattoine as the Jedi master watches over the young Luke Skywalker.

The return of Qui-Gon is not surprising as it was hinted at the end of Revenge of the Sith, and will probably appear as a Force Ghost to advise and train Obi-Wan.

Ewan Mcgregor who will be reprising his role as the famous Jedi Master will also be serving as an executive producer for the show. Initially, Disney planned on making a movie around Obi-Wan, that plan was dropped and was reworked into a series for Disney+.
