The upcoming Star Wars series on Disney+, Obi-Wan Kenobi, will feature a very different Darth Vader than what fans are expecting…
It has long been assumed that Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader never crossed between the events that took place in Revenge of the Sith and A new hope. But is this true? Dialogue from the original episode of starwars never made it entirely clear. In fact, he left a lot of room for interpretation. The next series of the galactic saga in Disney+ will bring back the two characters, both the Ewan McGregor such as Hayden Christensen. We have been promised that there will be a very epic lightsaber battle between the two. However, we are also warned that the Sith Lord will be very different.
The director Deborah chowcreator of Obi-Wan Kenobi and director of the six episodes of the Star Wars series, has recently spoken with Entertainment Weekly. He has put the spotlight on the return of Darth Vader and commented on what fans should or shouldn’t expect from his expected return. When asked why she decided to include the villain in the series, the filmmaker explained that the biggest advantage a limited series (miniseries) has is the opportunity it gives you to tell a character’s story.
“We didn’t bring him back for the sake of bringing him back. It has meaning,” said the director.
Thus, there was room to explore the importance of Darth Vader in Obi-Wan Kenobi’s life. Especially after what happened in the revenge of the Sith. «The idea of including him arose from an evolution of the character in the story, at least for meDeborah Chow revealed. «It wasn’t just bringing him back for doing it. It was really like…what does it mean to the exiled jedi? Where are we at this point in Star Wars history with the Sith Lord?»
«For us, the villain is very similar to Obi-Wan Kenobi because he is in the middle of the two trilogies. He is still not the Darth Vader we saw in Episode IV. He is diferent. The character is in the middle of that period. Obviously, he’s still Vader… but he’s a Vader who isn’t as fully formed as he was in ‘Star Wars: A New Hope.’Deborah Chow concluded.
