Disney Plus’ hotly anticipated limited series featuring the return of Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi starts shooting in a matter of months, meaning that the casting process is set to ramp up in the very near future. So far, the Scotsman is the only onscreen talent officially confirmed for the Star Wars show, although Hayden Christensen has been heavily rumored for a recurring role as Anakin Skywalker in flashbacks set during The Clone Wars.
Meanwhile, things have finally settled down on the creative side after the entire crew was sent home for the scripts to be reworked, with King Arthur: Legend of the Sword‘s Joby Harold replacing original writer Hossein Amini, although he remains onboard as an executive producer alongside The Mandalorian veteran Deborah Chow, who will direct all six episodes.
