I am looking forward to see if Hayden Christensen can redeem himself and the character of Anakin. Darth Vader was redeemed with Rogue One, but Anakin needs a bit of polish.

Looks like a good cast. Wonder which is the co-lead, probably Moses Ingram.

I liked Varma as Ellaria Sand in GOT. Looks like a solid cast

Would be awesome if the Safdie brothers wrote a few of these episodes instead of just part of main cast

Today I learned that Hayden Christensen has always had American status (via his mom). Always thought he was a pure Canadian.

Edit: And Ewan McGregor is an American now (since 2016).

Is being American cool now?

He's a POC in a world obsessed with POC that has also put in a lot of good work making him widely recognizable. He hits every box you can think of.

I'm actually kind of happy for him. I hope this is a redemption.

Same here. I'm sure it'll be flashbacks, and not in the suit, so he has a chance for redemption.

Didn't he say at one point that he'd love to play a Jedi? Dude got ripped recently for another role(MCU?), as well, so I'd be surprised if he isn't in some good action scenes. I'm looking forward to this, hopefully it's good
