The first two episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi are out now on Disney+, which implies we’re all strolling round the home making lightsaber noises and eagerly awaiting the subsequent episode. The present sees Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen reprise their roles as Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader from the Star Wars prequels, alongside a slew of different acquainted faces. This, greater than some other Star Wars present that has premiered on Disney+, feels deeply rooted in George Lucas’ movies; it has to, contemplating that Obi-Wan Kenobi takes place round midway between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope.
The restricted sequence additionally has loads of new characters, and there’s one specifically who might need regarded a bit acquainted.

He’s a little bit of a typical, moustache-twirling villain, however the actor/musician totally commits to the half.
After taking Leia to the planet Daiyu, Vect (who I’ll by no means not simply consider as “Flea”) is finally defeated by Obi-Wan when he involves rescue Leia. But for the reason that Jedi has a strict ethical code, he merely leaves Vect and his cronies unconscious.

While interrogating Vect to try to get extra details about Obi-Wan, the disciple of the Dark Side makes use of his spinning lightsaber to place an premature finish to Vect Nokru.
