Recall that Hayden Christensen debuted as Anakin Skywalker in Episode II: Attack of the Clones after the child version of the character in Episode I, while in Episode III: Revenge of the Sith his passage to the dark side was completed after the Iconic combat with Obi-Wan himself, his Jedi master, on the volcanic planet of Mustafar and that would end with Anakin defeated and extremely badly injured, a situation that would lead him to adopt his new personality as Darth Vader.
There is currently no release date for the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, although it should arrive on Disney + sometime in 2022.
