Disney+ is growing bigger and bigger with each passing week. With the many new announcements of shows and movies, now comes the news that a Star Wars game show is on its way. And the best part? It will be hosted by Ahmed Best, the actor who played Jar Jar Binks. The series, according to Entertainment Weekly, is called Star Wars: Jedi Temple Challenge, and will hit Disney+ in 2020.

EW reports that the game show "tests young contestants’ abilities in the core Jedi principles of strength, knowledge, and bravery as they face thrilling and fun obstacles in an attempt to achieve the rank of Jedi Knight."

The show will place contestants in three different locations: a Jedi temple, a Jedi star cruiser, and a forest planet. Best is set to play a Jedi Master, and his co-host will be a droid companion with the voice played by Mary Holland.

Disney+ is already seriously crushing it less than a month since its debut. As we previously reported, The Mandalorian is now the most in-demand streaming TV show in the world. It also scored an impressive 95% on Rotten Tomatoes and is taking the internet by storm with the introduction of The Child, or who fans are calling "Baby Yoda."

Stay tuned in the new year for Best's return to a galaxy far, far away to host Star Wars: Jedi Temple Challenge.
