Darth Vader Returns in a First Look at 'Obi-Wan Kenobi'

Yesterday, Entertainment Weekly revealed some first look photos for the highly-anticipated Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi and just hours later we received the first trailer from the studio. While the trailer did highlight some villains, including the Grand Inquisitor, we did not get a glimpse at Hayden Christensen’s Darth Vader. Well, that has changed.

EW released a brand new first look at the iconic villain for the upcoming series and he looks menacing as ever.

Joining the cast are Moses Ingram, Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Sung Kang, Simone Kessell, and Benny Safdie.

Obi-Wan Kenobi is directed by Deborah Chow and executive-produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Michelle Rejwan, Deborah Chow, Ewan McGregor, and Joby Harold.
