Obi-Wan Kenobi Actor Responds To Grand Inquisitor Fan Theory
Warning: MAJOR SPOILERS for Obi-Wan Kenobi
Obi-Wan Kenobi star Rupert Friend has reacted to a popular Grand Inquisitor fan theory. The latest Star Wars series premiered on May 27 and follows Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor) as he finds his way back to his Jedi identity 10 years after the events of Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith while watching over Luke Skywalker.

Following a few tense interactions with fellow Inquisitor Reva (Moses Ingram), the Grand Inquisitor is last seen in episode 2 of the series with a lightsaber run clean through his stomach.
