Plot details are being kept under wraps on the series, which takes place 10 years after Revenge Of The Sith and nine years before A New Hope, in an era after the Jedi Order has been all but wiped out. Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy has teased the "rematch of the century", presumably between Obi-Wan and his pupil-turned-enemy Vader.

i know i make ironic posts a lot and that because of the name of the show that post can be taken as an attempt at comedy but i just want to be 100% clear when i say that pen15 is a much better show than any star wars show will ever be.

Hmm. She'd have to be a new one, I guess. (Timeline-wise, she couldn't be Second Sister or the yet numberless red Twilek lady from the comics, and Seventh Sister would probably be Sarah Michelle Gellar in live action if she ever were to appear). We could finally get a Third maybe?
