Production on the Star Wars series, Obi-Wan Kenobi, for The Walt Disney Company's Disney+ streaming service will start in April with Disney that made several casting announcements for the limited series on Monday.
Several actors have been added to the Obi-Wan Kenobi series that will be headlined by Ewan McGregor reprising his role and with Hayden Christensen also returning; including Moses Ingram, Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, O'Shea Jackson Jr., Sung Kang, Simone Kessell and Benny Safdie.
It's very likely that Joel Edgerton will be reprising his role as the character of Owen Lars, the uncle of Luke Skywalker, which he played in the the Star Wars prequel trilogy films of Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.
The Obi-Wan Kenobi series will take place a decade after the events of Revenge of the Sith after which Anakin Skywalker who was Obi-Wan's Jedi apprentice has turned into the evil Sith lord Darth Vader.
Obi-Wan Kenobi is executive-produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Michelle Rejwan, Deborah Chow and Ewan McGregor. Joby Harold is the writer of the series which is one of several spin-offs that Disney has commissioned for Disney+ following the huge success of Star Wars: The Mandalorian.
