Absent from the first trailer for the “Obi-Wan Kenobi” series, Darth Vader reveals himself with an image obtained by the American media Entertainment Weekly.
Obi-Wan Kenobi returns
After The Mandalorian and The Boba Fett BookDisney+ will release its new series from May 25: Obi-Wan Kenobi. Ewan McGregor is back to play the famous Jedi, seventeen years later Revenge of the Sith (2005). We will find him a few years after the events of the trilogy. Whereas the Republic gave way to the Empire and the last Jedi are hunted down. Obi-Wan will be on Tatooine watching over a young Luke Skywalker.
The first trailer forObi-Wan Kenobi upload showed a lot, with new characters and old ones. But we especially noted the absence of Darth Vader. Only his mythical breathing is heard at the end of the trailer. However, it was well said that he would return. Plus Hayden Christensen to embody it. But the promotion of the series is careful, for the moment, to show us too much.
And Darth Vader too
To the delight of fans, EW was able to get the very first image of Darth Vader in the series. Exclusion from the American media allows you to see the Sith Lord as always in his imposing armor, in the middle of a still unknown room.
For now, we can see Darth Vader with his usual outfit and mask. But the return of Hayden Christensen means that we can expect that he appears with his face uncovered. Even if The Mandalorian went to the end of his idea by constantly hiding Pedro Pascal’s face (except for one scene), in The Boba Fett Book Temuera Morrison is, conversely, generally uncovered. We do not yet know what will happen to Obi-Wan Kenobi. Always withEW, Hayden Christensen was careful not to answer this subject. But he promises”a very powerful Darth Vader” future.
Obi-Wan Kenobi will be available from May 25 on Disney+.
