The Obi-Wan Kenobi series for Disney+ is on track as far as production is concerned. Set ten years after the events of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, it will see the return of Ewan McGregor as the titular character, as well as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader actor Hayden Christensen. Kathleen Kennedy has said that the two will have a rematch of sorts, though we do not know story details beyond that.
