This is a crossover we did not see coming.
Pen15 star and co-creator Maya Erskine has actually signed up with the Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi series, which was currently up there in regards to programs we can’t wait to see. It’s Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan and Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader, for goodness sake. Anything aside from that was icing on the cake!
So far, the icing is great too. The cast likewise consists of Joel Edgerton, Kumail Nanjiani, Rupert Friend, Sung Kang (Justice for Han, certainly), Bonnie Piesse, Moses Ingram, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Simone Kessell and Benny Safdie.
The reveal occurs 10 years after Revenge of the Sith and 9 years prior to A New Hope, so almost midway in between the prequel trilogy and the initial trilogy. The Jedis are gone, and the program permits a rematch in between the beat Obi-Wan and his previous trainee, present wicked overlord Anakin/Darth Vader.
