Fans of Disney+’s upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi show are mistaking the Grand Inquisitor for the Legends character Darth Malak, and their confusion highlights a problem with the character. Bringing characters from video games, animated shows, and books into the live-action space is exciting, and with the highly anticipated trailer for Obi-Wan Kenobi having just been released, connections and theories are beginning to emerge about what might be seen when the show premieres on May 25, 2022. For a while now, audiences have been eager to see the Grand Inquisitor in the latest Star Wars spinoff, but it looks like Disney is repeating its classic animation-to-live-action mistake. The Grand Inquisitor and Darth Malak may look alike, but the two are most definitely not the same.

While Jason Isaacs originally voiced the role of the Grand Inquisitor in Star Wars Rebels, actor Rupert Friend will be portraying the live-action version of the Jedi hunter in Obi-Wan Kenobi. With his round head, pale white complexion, defined brow, and head tattoos, Friend’s Inquisitor is reminiscent of another Star Wars villain: Darth Malak of BioWare’s 2003 video game, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Inquisitor villain comparison to Malak is particularly well-timed considering the video game is currently being remade for the PlayStation 5 and images of the Darth are fresh in the minds of Star Wars fans.

Fighting Extreme Marvell Mace Windu's Star Wars Return Feels More Likely Than Ever - Is That Good?

The legendary Jedi Master Mace Windu is theorized by some Star Wars fans to have survived his prequel-era demise, but his return to the franchise seems more likely than ever before, for better or worse. Mace Windu was a prominent member of the Jedi Order in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, equaled by perhaps only Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Though he was one of the Jedi Order’s most valiant members and certainly one of its most skilled warriors, Windu was betrayed by Anakin Skywalker and killed by Palpatine (Darth Sidious). Windu’s survival is possible, however, considering that more obvious character deaths have been retroactively undone in the Star Wars franchise and the support for Windu’s return among both fans and his actor, Samuel L. Jackson.
