According to Star Wars' Twitter account, "Obi-Wan Kenobi" will be picking up 10 years after the events of "Revenge of the Sith."

As you probably know, Anakin Skywalker was a Jedi Knight taken in as a Padawan by Obi-Wan Kenobi . In "Revenge of the Sith," Anakin turned to the dark side and eventually became known as the fearsome Darth Vader.

McGregor had announced that he will reprise his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in in the Disney Plus series in August last year. —JCB, GMA News
