The tale picks up 10 years after the events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, in which Obi-Wan Kenobi suffered his greatest defeat—the demise and corruption of his best friend and Jedi trainee, Anakin Skywalker, who became wicked Sith Lord Darth Vader.

The series stars McGregor, reprising his role as the iconic Jedi Master, and marks Hayden Christensen‘s return in the role of Darth Vader. Joining the cast are Moses Ingram, Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Sung Kang, Simone Kessell and Benny Safdie.
