    In case you hadn't heard, one of the most beloved Star Wars characters is finally making his way back into our lives in Disney+'s upcoming new series, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

    Lucasfilm

    This special limited series has Ewan McGregor returning to his iconic role as the Jedi Master and begins shooting in April. According to Disney+, the story begins 10 years after the dramatic events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, where Kenobi faced his greatest defeat, the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, who became evil Sith Lord Darth Vader.

    And if you loved The Mandalorian, I have extra good news, because Obi-Wan Kenobi is being directed by Deborah Chow.

    Chow received high praise for directing two of the most critically acclaimed episodes of The Mandalorian: "Chapter 3: The Sin" and "Chapter 7: The Reckoning."

    At the end of last year, during their annual Investor Day, Disney surprised fans by announcing that Hayden Christensen would also be reprising his role as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader for the series.

    And now they've revealed the rest of the stars who'll be rounding out the cast, and let me tell you, my heart skipped a beat. Check it out:
