With two weeks to go before Obi-Wan Kenobi arrives on Disney+, Lucasfilm has dropped some lightsaber promo shots highlighting the five blades we're going to see in the upcoming series.

As you can see, the blades belonging to The Grand Inquisitor, Reva, The Fifth Brother, Darth Vader, and Obi-Wan are all featured, and in the case of the former three, a closer look is welcomed.

A couple of new stills from Obi-Wan Kenobi have also found their way online, and they show us "Ben" Kenobi in hiding on Tatooine along with a tense confrontation between Reva and the evil Fifth Brother. The latter is expected to be played by Sung Kang and is a villain we've previously seen take centre stage in Star Wars Rebels (along with a number of Darth Vader Marvel Comics). 

Obi-Wan Kenobi's story begins 10 years after the dramatic events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith where the hero faced his greatest defeat - the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, who turned to the dark side as evil Sith Lord Darth Vader. 

The series stars Ewan McGregor, reprising his role as the iconic Jedi Master, and also marks the return of Hayden Christensen in the role of Darth Vader.

Joining the cast are Moses Ingram, Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Sung Kang, Simone Kessell, and Benny Safdie. Deborah Chow directed all six episodes of the show which premieres on May 27 with its first two episodes and wraps up on June 22.

@dragon316 - with them bringing back the original cast could make it good. At least fingers crossed it’s good.🤞

I think the Inquisitor lightsaber designs are really cool, especially this live-action look (wish I could say the same for the Inquisitors themselves).

Just please, don't have them do the helicopter trick. Unless it's Kenobi using it to escape, then I allow it.

I’m calling it now yet again.
The third sister who is hunting Kenobi will have a change of heart and either save him or Luke without Luke even knowing.
They will never make the only black, female character the irredeemable villain.
And I think she will die as the tragic hero. That way they can remove her from canon for future movies and mentions.

@SpaceParanoids - why can’t she be a straight villain?
SpaceParanoids

@TheSuperMex - Because Disney is big on pandering and instead of treating someone of a different color equally they have to redeem them somehow.
There is no reason to me why she can’t just be the villain but I don’t think she will be the irredeemable villain.

@SpaceParanoids - The leaks are already suggesting a major bait and switch and remember the rumors of Katheine Kennedy getting involved and some re-writes. You know its probably true, why does she look so normal? You couldnt make her alien looking or something? No, because she will be featured I bet. I have not read the leaks but avoiding YouTube titles is impossible.

@AvalonX - That was my thought. I was out off because she didn’t wear a crazy helmet or have pale make up or wild eyes like the other sisters.
She looks too normal which is why I think that my theory is correct.
I have avoided all spoilers thank God, so this is all a hunch based on what I expect from Disney,

Hopefully they have inquisitors actually kill Jedi for once.
