Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi: Maya Erskine Joins Star Wars Series In Mystery Role

The Skywalker Saga is thoroughly being explored on the small screen through various Disney+ shows, providing fans more insight into unseen events that weren't given the spotlight in the movies. One of the shows that will take a deep dive into these stories is Obi-Wan Kenobi. 

Directed by The Mandalorian's Deborah Chow, the series will showcase the return of prequel star Ewan McGregor as the titular Jedi Master, and it is expected to pick up the character's story ten years after Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. Obi-Wan Kenobi will also feature the comeback of Hayden Christensen's Darth Vader, meaning that a rematch between the two former friends will be imminent. 

Aside from Christensen, Obi-Wan Kenobi also boasts a stacked ensemble of stars which include the likes of Kumail Nanjani, Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Moses Ingram, and many more. Now, it seems that another veteran actress has joined the cast of the much-anticipated Disney+ series.
