The show, which is set 10 years after the events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, is set to begin shooting in April. The film saw the Jedi Master’s apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, turn evil as Darth Vader. The new series will be directed by Deborah Chow, who previously directed two episodes of The Mandalorian‘s first season.
