‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ First Look Photos Introduce A New Villain For Ewan McGregor To Face Off Against

The “Obi-Wan Kenobi” limited series on Disney+ is two months away, and it’s a big draw for many “Star Wars” fans hoping for the return of Ewan McGregor’s Kenobi and Hayden Christensen’s Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. While some of been critical of Vader’s inclusion and the new face-off that is coming between former master and pupil—there are many lines in ‘A New Hope’ that always indicated they had never seen each other since ‘Revenge of The Sith’ and that this new face-off undercuts that film—one way that seems to make it all work is the live-action introduction of the Inquisitors.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, McGregor admitted that he often uses the Force hand motion on automatic doors in various supermarkets.“I do it with doors!” McGregor said of the finger-slash-Force move. “I like to do that with automatic doors just for my own amusement.
