Story details from Star Wars' upcoming and highly anticipated ObiWanKenobi series reveal a connection to one of the original trilogy characters.
New story details from Star Wars' upcoming and highly anticipated Obi-Wan Kenobi series have unveiled a connection to one of the original trilogy characters. The limited series will see Ewan McGregor reprise his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi, alongside Hayden Christensen's Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader and many new and familiar characters, as he navigates life in exile ten years after the events of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.
The story will follow Obi-Wan's exile in Tatooine in the middle of his transformation from the Jedi Master who narrowly escaped Order 66 to the old hermit Ben Kenobi that Luke Skywalker first came across in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope.
Other familiar characters that are confirmed to make a return include Christensen's Anakin/Vader, Jimmy Smits' Bail Organa, Joel Edgerton's Owen Lars, and Bonnie Piesse's Beru Lars. The inclusion of Darth Vader's Inquisitors has also been shared, with recent news detailing that Rupert Friend's casting may be for the Grand Inquisitor first seen in Star Wars: Rebels.
All of this is building toward the rematch of Obi-Wan and Vader, a fight that was referenced in A New Hope many years ago. Having Inquisitors involved in Obi-Wan's story is enough evidence that he's being hunted down by Vader himself. Concept art for Obi-Wan Kenobi shared in a sizzle reel revealed an illustration of Obi-Wan and Vader going head-to-head surrounded by fires reminiscent of their first duel on Mustafar in Revenge of the Sith.
