He already established himself going lightspeed as a guy named Han in the Fast & Furious movie series. He’s Sung Kang, an actor from Georgia who brings an extra dose of cool to every TV or movie project he’s a part of. Thanks to Disney and Lucasfilm, he’s now going to be a part of the Star Wars universe. He and a host of other actors were announced this week as Disney revealed the key cast of the six-part event series Obi-Wan Kenobi, which begins filming soon. Ewan McGregor has been tied to the project for years, finally to reprise his role from the Star Wars prequels as an older Jedi Master. Joining him from the prequels is Hayden Christensen as Anakin or Darth Vader, along with Joel Edgerton as Luke Skywalker’s Uncle Owen Lars and Bonnie Piesse as Aunt Beru. The real question the cast announcement raises in light of last year’s appearance of a de-aged Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian is: How could Lucasfilm not give Hamill an appearance in this series, too? Sure, he’d be a kid whining about spare parts at Tosche Station, but why not?
