“Star Wars: Jedi Temple Challenge” is a new game show that will premiere on the Disney+ streaming service in 2020. The live-action skills game show is a first for the Star Wars brand and will be hosted by Jar Jar Binks actor Ahmed Best.
The new game show will test young contestants’ “abilities in the core Jedi principles of strength, knowledge, and bravery as they face thrilling and fun obstacles” in order to achieve the rank of Jedi Knight, according to Disney.
There will be various challenges that will test a contestant’s connection with the Force in three different locations – a forest planet, on a Jedi star cruiser and inside a Jedi temple.
