Game of Thrones star Indira Varma has joined the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series starring Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen.
Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi series is finally moving forward with production expected to begin this spring in Los Angeles. Back in December, it was announced during Disney’s Investor Day that Hayden Christensen will return to Star Wars as Darth Vader with the series pitting the two against each other in-between the events of Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope.
As production gets closer, the cast of Obi-Wan Kenobi begins to grow. Deadline reports Game of Thrones star Indira Varma, who coincidently played the lover of Pedro Pascal’s Oberyn Martell, has joined Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen in the upcoming Star Wars series in an undisclosed role.
