Darth Vader will be full of the dark side when he and Obi-Wan Kenobi tangle again in the new “Obi-Wan Kenobi” series.
What’s happening: Making Star Wars reports that Darth Vader will return in the “Obi-Wan Kenobi” series beginning in Episode 3.
- From there, Vader will feature prominently as the villain of the series.
- “Episode 3, 4, 5, and 6 all feature Darth Vader as the main antagonist pulling the strings,” Making Star Wars reports. “Vader’s role is major and the hype is not misplaced.”
Details: According to the report, Darth Vader in “Obi-Wan Kenobi” will be “flipping and kicking.”
- Vader will be an “angrier” version of Vader that we saw in “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.”
- “He’s out for blood,” the report said.
The light side: The Making Star Wars report suggested Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa and the Inquisitor will be featured prominently in the first two episodes.
Yes, but: The report is based on unnamed sources. While leaks like this can eventually prove true, it’s important to consider it with a little skepticism for now.
A larger world: Disney+ shared the official first poster for the new “Obi-Wan Kenobi” series on Wednesday.
- The poster showed Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) walking across a stretch of sand, signaling a return to Tatooine.
- McGregor recently told Forbes that he and actor Hayden Christensen had some scenes together as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, meaning we won’t be seeing only Darth Vader.
- “I think it’s no secret that Hayden Christensen comes back and we got to play scenes together again as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker and it was just fantastic to work with him again,” McGregor told Forbes.
