Obi-Wan Kenobi Characters’ Lightsabers Revealed In New Posters
With the premiere of Obi-Wan Kenobi just weeks away, official posters highlighting some of the lightsabers in the show have been released. Obi-Wan Kenobi will bring Ewan McGregor back to the Star Wars franchise as the titular Jedi Master whose last live-action appearance was back in 2005’s Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge Of The Sith. Obi-Wan Kenobi will pick up ten years after Episode III, taking place at the height of the Empire’s power while Kenobi watches over a young Luke Skywalker on Tatooine.
McGregor won’t be the only familiar face in Obi-Wan Kenobi. Hayden Christensen will also be returning to play Darth Vader following his last live-action appearance as the Sith Lord in Episode III. Kenobi and Vader will cross lightsabers again during the events of the series, but they will not be the only lightsaber-wielders in the fray. Darth Vader’s specialized Jedi hunters, the Imperial Inquisitors, will be making their first live-action appearance in Obi-Wan Kenobi. Rupert Friend will play the leader of the Inquisitors, the Grand Inquisitor, and will be joined by other newcomers to the franchise, such as Sung Kang as the Fifth Brother and Moses Ingram as the Third Sister – or as promotional material refers to her, Reva.
