The series will be set 10 years after “Revenge of the Sith”. Ostensibly, “Ben” is hanging out on Tatooine waiting for his moment. But some sort of encounter will bring him back to his old padawan. Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has mentioned that the encounter has an epic scale.The series was directed by Deborah Chow (“The Mandalorian”), while Joby Harold (“Army of The Dead”) wrote the series.
The series will fill in the gap of time Kenobi spent on the desert planet of Tatooine up until he meets Luke Skywalker. This is one new series you will want to keep an eye out for!
