Star Wars: Kenobi is ready to start production. The new series will begin filming in Boston next month, and that news started a bit of a stir. News reports initially made it seem like the series would film episodes in Boston, Massachusetts, but the production is set for another Boston, across the Atlantic.
Before the location was corrected, Stephen Colbert poked fun at the filming location for the Disney+ series with a Cheers parody. Check that out below.

Star Wars: Kenobi will film in Boston, England starting January 4, 2021, per CBS Boston. Ewan McGregor is reprising his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi from the prequel films for the new series.
No details about the series have been released, but events will take place in the time between the prequels and the original Star Wars films before Luke Skywalker found Kenobi on Tatooine.
A premiere date for Star Wars: Kenobi has not been set.
