OBI-WAN KENOBI Story Details Reveal Plans For Anakin Skywalker Flashback And New Jedi Character - SPOILERS

Some new story details for Obi-Wan Kenobi have been revealed, and as well as a subplot about a young Jedi, it sounds like Lucasfilm will de-age actor Hayden Christensen for a flashback to The Clone Wars...

SFFGazette.com recently told you about plans for Obi-Wan Kenobi to introduce a young Jedi called Nari who had been searching for the former Jedi Master since shortly after the events of Order 66. Now, Making Star Wars reveals more details, including the fact that he does eventually find "Ben" on Tatooine.

Pursued by Sith Inquisitors, the former Padawan confronts Obi-Wan and attempts to convince him to start a new Jedi Order. The hero is having none of it, though, and tells Nari that if he hopes to survive, he should bury his lightsaber in the sand. The war was lost and the Jedi are no more; this leaves the young man dejected, and he moves on, leaving "Ben" alone.

When Obi-Wan is later forced to leave the planet in an effort to rescue Princess Leia, he sees something in the distance at the Tatooine spaceport: Nari's body, put on display by the Inquisitors to send a message. With that, the fallen hero realises he's let another young Jedi down.

The site also mentions that we'll see a de-aged Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker in a flashback that "reminds us of the consequence of [Obi-Wan Kenobi's] failures."

These spoilers likely come from very early in Obi-Wan Kenobi, and we're definitely intrigued to see how things play out from here. We'd bet on those flashbacks revisiting the events of The Clone Wars, though Christensen will, of course, be bringing Darth Vader to life in this story's setting as well.

Obi-Wan Kenobi will premiere on Disney+ on May 25.
