Disney+ (via SFF Gazette) has shared another trio of character posters for Obi-Wan Kenobi, this time spotlighting the debuting heroes and villains who appeared in last Wednesday's intense third episode.
There's Indira Varma's Imperial Officer-turned double-agent Tala Durith, her loading droid (we've since learned that his name is NED-B), and, of course, the legendary - and bloody terrifying - Darth Vader.
The man once known as Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) made quite an impact towards the end of the episode, mercilessly torturing and murdering innocent villagers in an effort to draw Kenobi out of hiding.
As it turns out, this sequence was even more extreme at one point.
"I got pulled back a little bit on that," head writer Joby Harold tells Vanity Fair. "It was so important to define Vader's anger and rage. There's an emotionality to the choices he's making that are a little further than we're used to seeing with Vader. He's pushed a little more than the Vader we know. Obi-Wan isn't the finished article before [the original Star Wars], and we can look at Vader in the same way."
Check out the posters in the thread below, and be sure to drop back tomorrow for our coverage of episode 4.
