(Image credit: Disney+) Is The Grand Inquisitor Already Dead?Įven knowing about Hayden Christensen’s Darth Vader is in Obi-Wan Kenobi, fans have had some high expectations for what to expect from the Grand Inquisitor – the villain played by Rupert Friend who is best known from the animated series Star Wars: Rebels.
Hopefully it’s something he continues to not only in more Obi-Wan Kenobi episodes, but in more of the franchise’s shows on Disney+. Not only is it a fun surprise to see Flea (bassist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers) playing the leader of the gang who kidnaps young Princess Leia, but there’s also a great brief appearance by Temuera Morrison as one of his many clone characters in the universe.Ĭredited as “Veteran Clone Trooper,” the role played by Temuera Morrison in the second episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi doesn’t seem to be a character with which fans are familiar from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, but does that really matter? It’s fascinating that the Star Wars universe is littered with potentially thousands of men who all have the same face, and it’s fun that Morrison keeps appearing in different roles. In this realm, Obi-Wan Kenobi definitely doesn’t disappoint. (Image credit: Disney+) Special Appearances From Temuera Morrison And Fleaīecause everyone in Hollywood loves Star Wars, we are basically conditioned at this point to expect some fun and special cameos in any new project that is released. We do get a first look at Luke in the premiere, who looks a whole lot like his father at a young age (seen fantasizing about being in the pilot of a space ship), but far more time is dedicated to establishing what life is like for Leia living the life of a royal on the planet Alderaan.Īgain, we fully expect that the show will eventually pivot and will see Obi-Wan Kenobi back on Tatooine and keeping an eye on the central male hero of the original Star Wars trilogy, but for now it’s unexpected that we’re seeing so much of young Leia, and the kidnapping plot is a solid way to break up the monotony of Obi-Wan’s life and help him rediscover his purpose. If it ever seemed weird to you that Obi-Wan would spend all of his time looking after Luke Skywalker and not Leia Organa, Obi-Wan Kenobi has now effectively addressed that issue by making Leia a much more prominent character in the show’s first two episodes.
(Image credit: Disney+) There’s Way More Focus On Princess Leia Organa Than Luke Skywalker So Far Obviously he’s going to eventually come back to the sand and heat, if not just to make good on the series’ larger promise, but it was surprising to see him go off-world so quickly. Obi-Wan Kenobi does start his show living on Tatooine and keeping an eye on young Luke (along with the kid’s Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru), but not only is there a surprising amount of action that is set away from the desert planet, Obi-Wan ends up leaving it after the first episode. We’ve been bracing ourselves for more of this in Obi-Wan Kenobi, as audiences have been told that the show would see the eponymous Jedi keeping an eye on Luke Skywalker from a far – setting up their eventual meeting in Star Wars: A New Hope – but instead we’ve been thrown an interesting curveball. Between the first two seasons of The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, Disney+ subscribers have seen an ungodly amount of sand when tuning into episodes of the latest Star Wars series. Thus far, the Disney+ shows have been very desert-focused when it comes to planet atmospheres. (Image credit: Disney+) After Just One Episode, Obi-Wan Kenobi Leaves Tatooine
