New Details For ‘The Mandalorian’ and The Obi-Wan Kenobi Series Emerge

Kessel Run Transmissions has shared new details regarding the second season of The Mandalorian and the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ series’.

First, the outlet revealed that there is advertisement-exclusive footage of Ahsoka Tano. “She is wearing a grey cloak…. Ahsoka will be fighting two bounty hunter assassins.” While the outlet states they know the location of where this takes place, they did decide to hint the location. “It’s a very common location in Star Wars… You might go here to get a beverage.” This seems to be a reference to Mos Eisley Cantina on Tatooine, featured in A New Hope.

KRT also confirmed multiple reports that Hayden Christensen would indeed return as Anakin Skywalker aka Darth Vader for the Obi-Wan series, reportedly that Vader will be attempting to track down Obi-Wan, his old Jedi master and friend, while Commander Cody, the Clone Commander under General Kenobi’s command during the Clone Wars, will appear in the series alongside his unit- the 212th Battalion.
