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.

You’ll remember in early 2020, the original “Obi-Wan: Kenobi” series was put on hold, and ultimately, Lucasfilm scrapped all the scripts they had and started over with Joby Harold (“King Arthur: The legend of The Sword”) “We’re looking, ultimately, to make a hopeful, uplifting story,” she told EW recently, about the change of direction in the story.

Darth Vader is back! Ok, fine, the fact that the “Star Wars” villain is going to make his triumphant return in a film or TV series isn’t all that shocking. After the original trilogy, he had a whole prequel trilogy devoted to his story.
