Obi-Wan Kenobi Reportedly Features Original Trilogy Bounty Hunter
Obi-Wan Kenobi will reportedly feature an appearance from original Star Wars trilogy bounty hunter 4-LOM. The highly anticipated Disney+ limited series is set to follow Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor) 10 years after the tragic events of Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith that led to the termination of the Jedi Order and the rise of the Galactic Empire. With the premiere of the series just months away, new story details continue to be revealed, including Obi-Wan's mission off Tatooine that will draw him away from his duty of watching over Luke Skywalker.
Another important part of Obi-Wan's story will be his fight to stay alive in a galaxy that wants to hunt him down, a job most prominently done by Darth Vader's ruthless team of Force-sensitive Inquisitors. They first made their appearance in the animated Star Wars Rebels series, and a few will make their leap into live action in Obi-Wan Kenobi, including the Grand Inquisitor and the Fifth Brother. The first trailer for the series revealed that the Inquisitors follow trails of compassion to hunt down any Jedi who survived the purge, and with Obi-Wan pursuing a mission to no doubt help someone in need, he will likely draw the eyes of these Inquisitors and fall under the watchful eyes of the Empire.

Bounty hunter 4-LOM may be joining the effort to capture and kill the former Jedi Master. The protocol droid was first seen during a brief appearance in Star Wars: Episode V — The Empire Strikes Back among the six bounty hunters chosen by Vader to hunt down the crew of the Millennium Falcon.
