Meet the New Luke Skywalker: Grant Feely Takes the Lead
Disney+ is set to drop the Obi‑Wan Kenobi series this May 25th, and to everyone’s delight, a real teenage Luke Skywalker has just entered the galaxy. The kid is voiced by Grant Feely, the same young talent who stole the show in a Creepshow episode. If you’ve only seen him on a spooky sketch, you’re in for a treat.
A Quick View from the Teaser
Grab a front‑row seat to the teaser: Luke’s tiny silhouette pops up, reminding us of yesteryear’s orphan desperation but with a brand‑new edge. You can almost hear the dust swirling on his tiny boots.
Why Fans Are Cheersing the Fresh Face
- Mark Hamill’s Blessing: The man who played the original Luke Skywalker is making waves on Twitter. Hamill raved that “Grant Feely looks like a perfect Luke Skywalker” and wished him the best.
- Seamless Continuity: The teen’s appearance hands us a bridge between the Jedi‑age saga and the iconic “A New Hope.”
- Heartwarming Hype: Seeing an iconic actor cheer a newcomer feels like a character in a movie gifting a rose on a film set – pure cinematic magic.
Series Highlights
Set between the turmoil of Revenge of the Sith and the hopeful dawn of A New Hope, the show will reunite giddy Ewan McGregor as Obi‑Wan and the dreadfully cool Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader. Their story threads run through Luke’s, giving fans a wholesome retro‑future mix.
