It's easy to lose track of all the Star Wars shows currently in development, but one that just about every fan is going to be interested in is Obi-Wan Kenobi.

The six-episode limited series is set a decade after Revenge of the Sith and will attempt to bridge the gap between it and A New Hope.

Ewan McGregor will of course return to play Obi-Wan, while perhaps just as excitingly Hayden Christensen is reprising the role of Darth Vader, and Joel Edgerton and Bonnie Piesse are even back as Owen and Beru Lars.

Given that McGregor's portrayal of Obi-Wan is generally accepted to be the strongest part of the divisive prequel trilogy, it's enormously satisfying to see his work rewarded with this mythology-expanding series.

Obi-Wan Kenobi will premiere sometime in 2022.
