Star Wars: Obi -Wan Kenobi - surprise

Obi-Wan Kenobi is one of the really big figures in the Star Wars universe and so it was actually only a matter of time that the fan favorite would get his own series. In a month, more precisely on May 27 it will finally be time and Obi-Wan may pull his lightsaber again in the production of the same name on Disney Plus .

• OBI-WAN should meet old and new figures...
• ... and don't have to deal with Darth Maul a second time
• What is Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi?

In addition to the plot of the six -part series, to which there is already a short summary, the figures that occur are of course particularly interesting. We already know that top floors and avowed helmet bearer Darth Vader will be at the start, but what about other characters from the original films?

OBI-WAN should meet old and new figures...

The director of the series, Deborah Chow , now commented on this question in an exclusive interview with Total Film, the film magazine from GamesRadar. Chow did not want to reveal whether Liam Neeson's Qui-Gon Jinn got a performance, but she provided another interesting information for fans:

_ "Obi-Wan embarks on a trip. There will be different people who step into his life. One thing I wanted to achieve with the series is to have this legacy and who is important in Obi-Wans, and also Having a few new characters. So it will be a mix of both. But I think there will be some surprises. I hope. "_

The fact that Chow does not give a concrete name is not surprising and would probably spoil the surprise . But their hint awakens hope and is likely to take restless Star Wars friends in addition to speculation. However, there is no longer any need for speculation about the appearance of a character: Darth Maul will definitely not swing his double light sword again.

... and don't have to deal with Darth Maul a second time

Thanks to a report by the Hollywood reporter, the red-faced man with the horns will not appear in the history of Obi-Wan Kenobi. But now Chow has once again commented on Darth Maul's missing role: _ "Since I have been involved, we have never had Darth Maul somewhere in it. Dave [Filoni] has already told this story beautifully." _

Although Darth Maul appeared in the first script from author Hossein Amini, he was ultimately painted out and replaced by Darth Vader : a change of figure that also went with a change of personnel: instead of Amini, Joby Harold is now for history Responsible to the series together with director Chow.

_ "With so many legacy aspects it was not an easy decision to bring Vader into it. Big and profound part of his life. We felt that it made sense to have it in history. And Vader throws such a dark shadow that it would have been too much if we had had to do. "_

What is Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi?

Anyone who has only belonged to Obi-Wan Kenobi from the upcoming Star Wars series so far and does not yet know what the six episodes on May 27 on Disney Plus should actually go helped a small summary of the action from the official side:

"In terms of the rule of the Galactic Empire, the former Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi goes on an important mission. Kenobi has to put former allies who became enemies and faces of the terror of the empire." Despite the vague premise, small and large Star Wars fans are looking forward to seeing Obi-Wan again alike.
