So what can you expect from the show? The official synopsis reads: "The story begins ten 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, turned evil Sith Lord Darth Vader."
Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen have both reprised their roles as the former master-and-apprentice duo, and Hayden opened up about returning to the iconic role of Darth Vader.

He said: "That was part of what was really exciting about this, getting to really explore Darth Vader. Obviously, in the prequels I was Anakin Skywalker, and I got to show that transition, but I didn’t get to spend much time in the suit. So to come back and revisit the character at this point in the timeline was huge.
Fans are loving the new series
He added: "I think what makes this character so compelling is the change he goes through. He’s gone through this seismic shift, and now he’s trying to reconcile that. And ultimately he does find redemption. It’s quite a journey."
