There's some very exciting news for Star Wars fans! The upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series is reported to have wrapped up filming.

The series, which began filming in April this year, will see actor Ewan McGregor resume his role as the famous Jedi Master. It will also star Anakin Skywalker actor Hayden Christensen playing friend-turned-foe, Darth Vader.

The Disney+ show is set 10 years after the events of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Several other characters from that movie will also star in the upcoming series including Bonnie Piess who plays Luke Skywalker's aunt, Beru, and Joel Edgerton playing Uncle Owen.

Other names joining the series include Dolittle and Men In Black star Kumail Nanjiani, Moses Ingram, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, O'Shea Jackson Jr, Sung Kang, Simone Kessell and Benny Safdie.

Although at this stage it's anyone's guess who they'll be playing in the series.

It is also likely that Disney is keeping some cast members secret, as to avoid any potential spoilers involving cameos from past Star Wars characters.

The story

Following the events of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Obi-Wan Kenobi travelled to Tatooine, trying to stay hidden from the Empire, who want to seek out and destroy all the remaining Jedi.

While on the planet, Kenobi is also watching over a young Luke Skywalker.

Luke, who is the son of Kenobi's former Jedi apprentice Anakin Skywalker, was adopted by his aunt and uncle to keep him safe.

At this point in the Star Wars time-line Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) has recently turned to the dark side and become Darth Vader.

Whether Christensen will just be inside the famous black suit, or will also play Anakin (possibly in flashbacks) remains to be seen.

Deborah Chow, who made two episodes of The Mandalorian, also on Disney+, is directing and the Kenobi series is expected to drop in 2022.
