UNC Chem lost a legend. Fred Young, who supported our department through facilities and maintenance, passed away Monday. Fred was a problem solver, a kind soul, and a friend to all. His contributions to our dept. are far and wide; it's hard to think about the future w/o him.

👋This IS the spin-off series you are looking for. Stoked, Obi-Wan is my favorite!
Hayden Christensen returns as Darth Vader, joining Ewan McGregor in OBI-WAN KENOBI. The Original Series begins 10 years after the dramatic events of Revenge of the Sith, and is coming to #DisneyPlus.
