This is bolstered via a dream sequence that contains snippets from the prequels including Qui-Gon’s dying words: “Promise me you will train the boy,” and Padmé’s insistence that: “There’s good in him. Kenobi is choosing to live like a hermit, not just because he’s in hiding, but because he’s punishing himself for his failures as Anakin’s friend and mentor. What seems like a throwaway comment for cheap laughs is great character building. We find out Kenobi has been living in a secluded cave and when a Jawa delivers a salvaged model of a T-16 Skyhopper – check out this reference in our Obi-Wan Kenobi Easter egg guide – he mentions that the recluse smells. McGregor’s forlorn portrayal is worlds away from the confident, witty Kenobi of the prequels and it’s this minutiae that’s the series’ strongest asset thus far.
When the foreman hits a worker who complains that his pay has been halved, we see a familiar glimmer of fight in the Jedi master’s eyes, but this quickly fades into hopelessness. Our first encounter with Obi-Wan involves the titular hero harvesting meat from a gigantic, deceased ray-like creature embedded in the sands of the Dune Sea. Kudos to Moses Ingram for a satisfyingly unhinged performance.
#WHO PLAYED OBI WAN KENOBI SERIES#
Fans of the animated series “Star Wars Rebels” will recognize the Grand Inquisitor, but this is the Third Sister’s first outing. It’s then revealed that the Third Sister is hellbent on hunting Obi-Wan Kenobi, who the Grand Inquisitor warns her not to pursue. The Grand Inquisitor uses the force to push his subordinate aside and in doing so provides a window for the Jedi’s escape. The inquisitors have the Jedi cornered and earmarked for interrogation, but when the captive says: “You’ll never find us all,” the Third Sister attempts to bring her lightsaber down upon him in a curious fit of rage. As the knife is halted via the power of the force, a Jedi (known only as Nari) is rumbled. When they head into a small saloon hunting a Jedi, a long exchange between the Grand Inquisitor and the establishment’s proprietor proves too much for the Third Sister, who throws a knife at the saloon owner’s head. An ominous black ship lands in the middle of a highstreet and we get our first glimpse of the episodes’ main antagonists: The Grand Inquisitor (Rupert Friend), Fifth Brother (Sung Kang) and Third Sister (Moses Ingram). Following the title sequence it’s revealed that the show has jumped a decade into the future.
