In this Star Wars News update, we talk about the Obi-Wan Kenobi series and a filming update. We also discuss Luke Skywalker in the Mandalorian and why he won’t be recast. Going forward, Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni will opt to keep de-aged Mark Hamill for the Mandalorian Season 3 and if he gets a Luke Skywalker spin-off series. We learned a lot in the Mandalorian Season 2 Finale Disney Gallery recently.
For Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen are already confirmed as Obi-Wan and Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker in flashbacks respectively but there are rumors of Sith Inquisitors from Rebels, Ian McDiarmid as Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious and more! The Lucasfilm and Disney+ live-action series takes place after Revenge of the Sith but before a New Hope and was first announced by Kathleen Kennedy last year. Finally, we talk about speculation for Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff) and Din Djarin – Pedro Pascal.
