Another “Game of Thrones” alum is looking to join the galaxy far far away, as a new report claims Indira Varma might be joining “Kenobi.” The live-action “Star Wars” spinoff series will center on Jedi Master Obi Wan Kenobi, and will star Ewan McGregor. Hayden Christensen, who played Anakin Skywalker in “Attack of the Clones,” and “Revenge of the Sith,” will return to play Darth Vader.
Varma played Ellaria Sand of Dorne in “Game of Thrones,” the paramour of The Red Viper Prince Oberyn Martell, played by “The Mandalorian” star Pedro Pascal.
So far, the casting report comes from Deadline, who claims exclusive knowledge. We really hope it turns out to be true, because we’d love to see Varma in another high-budget production.
We’ll let you know what we hear about “Kenobi“ and other Star Wars news.

Mary Anne Butler
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
