It might have been a missed opportunity to premiere the new Star Wars series on Disney+. But Obi-Wan Kenobi will be premiered on the same day as A New Hope over at Disney's streaming service. The company shared new poster art for the series debuting on May 25.

Obi-Wan Kenobi has Ewan McGregor reprising his role as the titular character. Hayden Christensen will also reprise his role as Darth Vader. The series will begin with protecting Luke Skywalker following the rise of the Empire. The Mandalorian's Deborah Chow will direct this limited series.

Respawn plans to release 3 more 'Star Wars' games

You can expect three more Star Wars games to come out of Respawn Entertainment. EA announced that the studio behind Titanfall and Apex Legends is working on a follow-up to its 2019 hit Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, but it isn't known if it'll be a direct sequel. A first-shooter game in the pipeline is overseen by a former Star Wars Battlefront producer. And then there's a strategy game produced by Respawn in the works with Bit Reactor leading its development. That new third-party studio is headed up by Greg Foertsch, who previously worked on the XCOM series.

EA's exclusive license to develop and publish Star Wars games will expire next year. And it looks like it wants to churn out as much as it can before that happens.

Boba Fett to come to 'Fortnite' on Dec. 24

Epic Games / Disney

While we're getting a Naruto collaboration real soon, another potentially iconic Fortnite crossover is coming on Christmas Eve. Star Wars' Boba Fett will be coming to the game on December 24, the weekend before The Book of Boba Fett debuts on Disney+ on December 29. Epic Games will be adding the bounty hunter to the game at 7 PM ET. And the teaser art for this crossover shows Fett's partner Fennec Shand, so we're assuming she'll make an appearance, too.

Epic hasn't shared what's coming then, but we can assume we're getting skins of both characters and more items. We'll make sure to update when we hear more.

Disney+ show 'Ahsoka' tipped to have Hayden Christensen, too

Lucasfilm

Hayden Christensen, who played Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in the prequels, is already set to reprise his role in next year's Obi-Wan Kenobi show with Ewan McGregor. But aside from that, there are rumours that he will also be reprising his role in the upcoming Disney+ series Ahsoka. It won't be much of a surprise to see him there, given that Ahsoka Tano was Anakin Skywalker's padawan. What isn't clear is how he'll fit into the story.

Ahsoka takes place five years after the events in Return of the Jedi, but Vader dies in that film, so we're wondering how he'll fit into the story. Perhaps as a flashback or a Force ghost? Rosario Dawson will be reprising her role as Ahsoka, which she played in The Mandalorian. Dave Filoni will write the story and serve as an executive producer alongside Jon Favreau. The series will kick off production in 2022.
