Guess what? Obi-Wan Kenobi is in the show, and if that's not hard enough to believe, he's also being played by the same man who brought the wise Jedi Master to life all those years ago. Ewan McGregor was already considered a talented actor after appearing in Trainspotting, but getting cast as an already established character in one of the biggest f...
Hayden Christensen may have been "torched" by some fans and critics for some clunky dialogue and line deliveries, but it's hard to deny his physicality (particularly in Revenge of the Sith) is legitimately intimidating, and that is the one word that perfectly sums up Darth Vader. Before he became "the most hated man in the galaxy", Vader was a youn...
Darth Vader isn't the only Sith threat on the hunt for Kenobi, and fans of the animated show will recognize the Grand Inquisitor as a major antagonist from Star Wars Rebels. The animated version was voiced by Jason Isaacs, but the Jedi hunter will be making his live-action debut by being portrayed by Isaacs's Death of Stalin co-star, Rupert Friend....
In a show packed to the brim with familiar names, one of the few new faces is Reva, played by The Tragedy of Macbeth star Moses Ingram. Interestingly enough, the Third Sister stands out amongst her Inquisitor peers by being referred to by her own name, which the others have seemingly forgone in their turns to the dark side. Reva likely shares a sim...
When we first meet the Third Sister, she is accompanied by the Fifth Brother, played by Sung Kang. Though he's practically unrecognizable in the series, you might remember Kang from his role as Han Seoul-Oh in the Fast and Furious franchise. Not much is known about the Fifth Brother's background, except that he is also a former Jedi who fell to the...
McGregor and Christensen aren't the only actors from the prequels returning for Obi-Wan Kenobi, as Joel Edgerton (The Gift) and Bonnie Piesse (Love Eterne) are returning as Luke Skywalker's beloved aunt and uncle. Though they may not be related by blood, Owen learned great levels of compassion from his father, Lars, who freed slave Shmi Skywalker a...
We knew Luke Skywalker would at the very least have a brief appearance in the show, but many fans were shocked to see that his twin sister Leia would have a much larger presence in the series. Though she's a mere child at the time Obi-Wantakes place, Leia eventually would follow in the footsteps of her mother Padme as a staunch political activist a...
In the Heights star Jimmy Smitsmay not have had the most significant role in the prequel trilogy, but he still served a vital part in saving the galaxy by raising the recently orphaned Leia as his own. Bail has always been on the side of good, fiercely supporting the Republic during the Clone Wars and immediately condemning the genocidal takeover c...
Another new character, The Big Sick's Kumail Nanjiani brings his infectious comedic charm to the crime world of Star Wars. When he's first introduced, Haja Estree claims he's a powerful rebellious Jedi, helping people get off-planet and escape Imperial occupation...for a price. Obi-Wan quickly discovers that Estree is a con-man and used clever tric...

Mar 9, 2022 · The Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer shows a shot of Kenobi watching over young Luke, and the imagery deliberately parallels the boy with Anakin. Luke's outfit is reminiscent of the one Anakin wore in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, when the Jedi first discovered Anakin on Tatooine.
