Netflix Everything you need to know before watching the new season of Stranger Things
Recommendations 6 high-voltage erotic series for a 'hot' night
Darth Vader, Darth Vader, Darth Vader.
As if it were a spell in front of the mirror,
the greatest villain in cinema is back
.
And he has done it thanks to
Obi-Wan Kenobi
(Disney+), a series that revolves around Luke Skywalker's master
but also Anakin Skywalker before he became Darth Vader.
To subscribe to Disney + can be accessed here.
Ewan McGregror reprises as Obi-Wan Kenobi.
For many Star Wars
fans
, the return of Darth Vader is the best news in years
.
And in this series of six episodes, his presence is noticeable from the first minute.... although his appearance is long in coming.
Obi-Wan Kenobi is again played by Ewan McGregor.
This Jedi Master now goes by the name Ben.
The 'LAST' JEDI ALIVE
Ten years have passed since the events of
Star Wars: Episode III-Revenge of the Sith
and he has gone into hiding.
"The age of the Jedi is behind us" he says in the first chapter.
Working undercover in a factory and looking from afar with his binoculars at
little Luke on his farm on Tatooine
, the protagonist of the series tries to stop the Sith from taking him over.
Nor with Leia, who is hidden on a planet much farther away.
Rupert Friend plays the Grand Inquisitor.
In this
luxurious Disney + production
in which there are a thousand and one references to the
Star Wars
universe (and, therefore, flashbacks are included that help to remember everything better)
villains
appear .
The most dangerous calls himself the
Grand Inquisitor (Rupert Friend)
and has made the extermination of the Jedi his daily struggle.
He does not shake his pulse and is accompanied by
Third Sister (Moses Ingram)
, a master in the art of handling the lightsaber obsessed with Obi-Wan.

On the good side
, in
Obi-Wan Kenobi
we find
Owen Lars (Joel Edgerton)
, Luke's farmer 'uncle' who chats with Obi-Wan from time to time and is suspicious of the intentions of those who trusted him to that the sith did not take the child.
And
Bail Organa (Jimmy Smits)
, the one in charge of taking care of a young Leia who shows signs of becoming a great political figure.
AN EXTENDED STORY
While
The Mandalorian
(and, to a lesser extent,
Boba Fett
) have set the bar high for Star Wars series,
Obi-Wan Kenobi
has plenty going for him to win over audiences.
To begin with, because many characters are well known and need no introduction.
This is the case of
Obi-Wan, Luke, Leia, 'Uncle' Owen or Darth Vader himself.
Which makes this story more of a direct continuation of the film saga than the other two cases cited.
Context is also an advantage.
That
the Empire has replaced the Republic
means that Tatooine as a frontier enclave, Imperial soldiers and other key
Star Wars
symbology appear frequently.
As for the script,
the guilt that Obi-Wan feels for the loss of Anakin, the hunt for the Jedi for their skill and the consolidation of the Empire
as a dictatorship that does not stop growing are key to keeping the attention of adults in a
series suitable for all audiences.
A story that takes its time
and that Disney + will unravel little by little
with weekly chapter premieres so as not to saturate fans
.
Everything indicates that there will be many surprises in the coming weeks.
