Disney+ yesterday gave an acceleration in the promotional campaign of ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’. First appeared the first images of the long-awaited series starring Ewan McGregor and later its impressive trailer was released. Of course, until now we had not had even the slightest trace of Darth Vaderbut that just changed.
an expected return
EW has released a first image of the return of Hayden Christensen like the mythical villain of Star Wars. It is not that he is seen much, but the scenario in which he is opens the possibility that we see him without the helmet at some point in ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’. That yes, the actor has not wanted to confirm it, because he has indicated that “I have sworn to secrecy“but yes you have promised that”we are going to see Vader very powerful“. We didn’t expect anything less, really.
It’s also unclear how much of Darth Vader we’ll see in ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi,’ though a concept art image from the series promised he’ll have a lightsaber duel with his Jedi Master. About his presence in the series, Joby Haroldscreenwriter of ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’, clarifies the following.
Its shadow is cast over much of what we do. And the degree of proximity to that shadow is something we will find out. But it’s a very important part of the series emotionally for Obi-Wan, and possibly beyond that as well.
I imagine that we will know something else before the premiere of ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ next 25 of Maybut better to reserve as many surprises as possible.
By the way, we may have had to wait 15 years to account for Christensen in the Star Wars universe, but it seems that has come back to stayas his participation in ‘Ahsoka’ is also confirmed.
