Obi-Wan Kenobi Has Rating For Live Star Wars

Obi-Wan Kenobi will have the lowest age rating so far amongst live-action Star Wars series. The highly-anticipated series, starring Ewan McGregor back in his iconic role as Obi-Wan, is just under a month away from its May 27 premiere date. It's set to follow Obi-Wan in the midst of his exile on Tatooine as he struggles between watching over Luke Skywalker and helping to protect the galaxy around him. The inclusion of Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen) and his "ruthless" Inquisitors has set expectations for a tense and thrilling series. The first trailer for the series even showed a villager's hanging feet as the Inquisitor Reva seemed to be interrogating fellow townspeople about Force-sensitive beings, which raises the stakes even more for a Jedi like Obi-Wan. If Reva stays hot on Obi-Wan's trail as he ventures off-world on a mission, then it's assumed that danger will follow close behind him. The duel between Obi-Wan and Vader that's been teased for some time now has also fit into these expectations of great conflict and an overall cloud of darkness.


However, an official age rating given to Obi-Wan Kenobi actually seems to suggest a series that's tamer than its fellow live-action Star Wars series. Disney+ U.K. (via The Direct) has attached a 9+ rating to the series, whereas The Mandalorian was rated 14+ there and The Book of Boba Fett was rated 12+. While all three series are rated TV-14 in the U.S., this differentiation by the U.K. may hint at a little less intensity for Obi-Wan than the grittiness of the Mandalorian (ex) bounty hunters and their stories. This could come down to just the language used, as The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett each chose to include a few curse words throughout their runs. The latter two series, however, also chose to show violence, such as someone getting cut in half by a door and others getting sliced in half by the Darksaber, so Obi-Wan Kenobi's violence may just not be as gritty in that way. This seems to hint that Obi-Wan Kenobi won't be extremely dark, though a lack of action would be surprising for director Deborah Chow and her love of thrilling sequences. Regarding her work on episodes 3 and 7 of The Mandalorian season 1, Chow previously expressed how enthusiastic she was in adding more stormtroopers for Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) to mow down as he freed Grogu, as well as how many explosions she chose to include once the Mandalorians arrived to rescue their comrade. Nevertheless, the lower rating could have nothing to do with the action and everything with another factor, perhaps just to broaden the scope of the series' audience.


Despite its rating, Obi-Wan Kenobi is a series that has people of all ages more excited than ever. From those who watched the very first Star Wars film in theaters to those who grew up with the prequel Star Wars trilogy and even those who call the sequel Star Wars trilogy their childhood, this upcoming story means a lot to its enthusiastic viewers. Even actors McGregor and Christensen have shared how important it's been to them getting to reprise their iconic roles, something that has allowed them to watch additional series such as Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The upcoming journey for Obi-Wan is bound to be an unforgettable one for its entire audience.
