This week’s announcement from Lucasfilm that Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi was starting production imminently also came with the exciting news that Hayden Christensen would be returning to the series for the first time since Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, but, unfortunately, Jar Jar Binks actor Ahmed Best confirms that fans shouldn’t expect to see him in the series. From a narrative standpoint, given that Kenobi cut himself off from his past connections, it’s understandable that he wouldn’t be hanging out with Binks, but with rumors claiming the new show would feature flashbacks to the Clone Wars, fans will surely be disappointed that they won’t get to see the beloved Gungan anytime soon.
Thanks for the love, but I will not be in this series. As much as I would’ve loved to be a part of it. But I’m ecstatic to see folks who I love dearly back together doing great things. https://t.co/5bzLq9yslh
