Pretty sure you are thinking of a different guy from BBT.

I guess Silicon Valley is the reference here, and makes Kenobi much more potentially likable.

Yup, did it again (that's Kunal Nayyar, not that he hasn't done non-comedy ["Criminal: UK" on Netflix]  And I saw Nanjiani talk to Colbert about Silicon Valley.   B

Of all the proposed Star Wars spin-offs, this seems the most... well... boring... unless they change the premise of the character. Kenobi can’t fall in love, he can’t fight with anyone, he can’t own a droid, he can’t travel, he can’t reveal his powers to anyone and allow them to live. All he can do is keep a discreet watch over young Luke while the rest of the galaxy falls to the empire. So the character is essentially an old man who naps in the desert.

They will kill time every episode with a musical number by

Aunt Beru.  Bonnie Piesse who played her in episode II

is returning presumably as Aunt Beru.  When I saw her

at Star Wars Celebration II she sang during her presentation

and talked about her music.
