Most notably, Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor are teaming up again as Darth Vader and Obi Wan Kenobi in the new “Obi-Wan” series.

This is such awesome news for “Star Wars” fans. This is the best “Star Wars” news that we’ve had in a very long time.
I thought Disney planned on dialing the “Star Wars” content back a substantial amount after “Solo” didn’t exactly blow everyone away.
Nope! We’re getting 10 new series.

While I don’t know for sure what the driving force is behind this decision, you have to imagine that the success of “The Mandalorian” played a monster role in Disney deciding to start cranking out a ton of new content.
“The Mandalorian” has been a smashing success and captivated millions of fans. It’s proof that if you make “Star Wars” stories fun that people will pay to watch.
