ObiWanKenobi star RupertFriend avoided watching StarWarsRebels to play the series villain
✖ Obi-Wan Kenobi will premiere on the Disney+ streaming service next week and hype for the series is at an all-time high. The series is set to bring back Ewan McGregor as the titular character and Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader, as well as introduce us to a major Star Wars antagonist in live-action. The series will bring Star Wars: Rebels villain the Grand Inquisitor to live-action and he will be played by Rupert Friend.
The magazine also asked Friend if he looked at the animated series to develop his take on the character, and the actor revealed that he did not."I really wanted to honor the character as I saw him, and so I almost deliberately did not see the animated interpretation.
"It was a sweaty, sweaty suit and I did sweat buckets inside the prosthetics which would pour across my face at the end of a day," Friend revealed."And make me look like a very, very miserable clown. But so worth it!"
