Indira Varma (Game of Thrones, Luther, For Life) has joined the cast of the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ series, which is reportedly scheduled to commence production this spring.

Varma's character is being kept under wraps (of course), but we're sure you guys will have plenty of guesses.

Specific plot details are also being withheld, but we do know that Obi-Wan will be set between the events of Revenge Of The Sith and A New Hope, and that Hayden Christensen will return as Darth Vader for a confrontation with his old master. There are also rumors that younger versions of both Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa will appear, but that's yet to be confirmed.

Ewan McGregor will reprise the role of the legendary Jedi.

The Mandalorian director Deborah Chow is set to helm all episodes of the series, with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy on board as producer along-with Chow, Jason D. McGatlin (The Rise of Skywalker), Tracey Seaward (The Queen), and John Swartz (Rogue One).

Varma has appeared in numerous film and TV projects over the course of her career, but is arguably best known for her ferocious turn as Ellaria Sand in HBO's Game of Thrones.

No premiere for Obi-Wan Kenobi has been set, but it's expected to hit Disney+ at some point in 2022.

Good for her. They did her character and the other sandsnakes dirty in Thrones IMO so hoping for the best for her

Ahhh the moisture farmer that obi-wan fell in love with and then had a secret child they can introduce in the Mandolorian. 😳

Maybe an inquistor? I know I'm saying this in every Kenobi article, but I just wanna see a very unstable Barriss Offee, that got mentally tormented by Vader, get mindtricked by Kenobi into believing he died.

@Repian - She can't act for shit but she has the look. I'd take it. It's not like SW is high art or anything.

@Repian - I agree with @inkniron, Delavigne certainly has the look. Now I know this is wishful thinking, but in my head and always though Eva Green would kill it as Asajj. Her voice particularly.

@BlackBeltJones - is Luther worth the watch? Lately I've been finding myself interested in British crime dramas (like wtf was Behind Her Eyes for example), and might wanna add this to the list

I can see Adi Gallia playing a Jedi master. A fugitive Jedi who arrives on Tatooine. A planet where the presence of the empire is minimal.

She'd make a good Depa Billaba, if she survives Order 66 in this canon.

@GothamSon - seeing as she was Kanan's master, I don't think so
