PEN15 star and co-creator Maya Erskine has been cast in the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi show for Disney+. Erskine is the newest star to join the highly anticipated Star Wars project, which will feature the talents of Ewan McGregor, Moses Ingram, Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, O'Shea Jackson Jr., Sung Kang, Simone Kessell, and Benny Safdie. Hayden Christensen is also confirmed to return in the role of Darth Vader.
Set a decade after the end of the Clone Wars and the rise of the Empire, Obi-Wan Kenobi will presumably begin with the exiled Jedi watching over a young Luke Skywalker on Tatooine. Joel Edgerton and Bonnie Piesse will reprise their prequel trilogy roles as Owen and Beru Lars, confirming at least some time spent on the desert planet. The series will likely see Obi-Wan depart Tatooine early on, however, to embark on a galactic journey with brand-new characters.
A rematch with Christensen's Darth Vader has also been promised by Disney.
Per Deadline, the Obi-Wan series has added another new cast member in PEN15 star and co-creator Maya Erskine.
