‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’: A guide to the new ‘Star Wars’ series

WHO ELSE IS AROUND?

Joel Edgerton and Bonnie Piesse reprise their roles from the prequels as Owen and Beru Lars, Luke's aunt and uncle. Expect other established characters to make as-yet-unannounced appearances in either the main story or through flashbacks, used heavily in the other live action "Star Wars" series. Rosario Dawson's Ahsoka Tano, starring in her own upcoming series, will almost certainly drop in. Could we see a "Force ghost" version of Kenobi's teacher Qui-Gon Jinn, played by Liam Neeson? A young Leia with Smits' Organa? Chewbacca or Darth Maul? They'll soon reveal themselves to viewers.
