With the highly anticipated series titled Obi-Wan Kenobi, we could see a new live-action version of an iconic character from an animated series of the Star Wars franchise.
According to the Star Wars news site Bespin Bulletin, multiple sources claim that Rupert Friend, announced in the cast about a year ago, is ready to take part in the series as the Grand Inquisitor.
The Grand Inquisitor met his end in the first season climax of Star Wars Rebels during the battle with Padawan Kanan Jarrus.
The filming of Obi-Wan Kenobi already finished last September, but the plot and characters are still strictly locked up by Lucasfilm. As mentioned earlier, Deborah Chow is the designated director of the new series, which is created based on a screenplay written by Joby Harold.
Ewan McGregor returns in the iconic role of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi for a special event series on Disney+. Officially titled Obi-Wan Kenobi, the series begins 10 years after the dramatic events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith where he faced his greatest defeat, the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker turned evil Sith Lord Darth Vader. The series is directed by Deborah Chow, who helmed memorable episodes of The Mandalorian, Season 1, and features the return of Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader.
