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.
