The new series will take place 10 years after the end of Revenge of the Sith, which concluded with Obi-Wan having the high ground, turning Anakin into a human trunk.
Unfortunately, a release date has not been anounced yet, but since the show has not started filming, we probably won’t have the pleasure of seeing in until 2022.
