The production of the series Obi-Wan Kenobi continues and new rumors seem to suggest that the actor Sung Kang could play an Inquisitor in the service of Darth Vader.
Kang, famous for having participated in some Fast and Furious films in the role of Han, will be in the series and his role could be that of the Fifth Brother, one of the Inquisitors present in Star Wars: Rebels.
Sung Kang could play the role of Inquisitor in Obi-Wan Kenobi
The presence of Sung Kang within the series Obi-Wan Kenobi was confirmed by the announcement made in March by Disney that the show’s main actors were revealed.
In addition to the protagonist, played by Ewan McGregor, it was known of the return of Hayden Christensen in the role of Darth Vader, Joel Edgerton as Uncle Owen e Bonnie Piesse in those of Aunt Beru, those who will raise young Luke Skywalker.
In addition to them, new faces were announced, including Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, Kumail Nanjiani is Sung Kang.
The latter is at the center of the new voices that associate him with the role of the Fifth Brother, one of the Inquisitors of Darth Vader that in Star Wars: Rebels hunts down Ezra and Kanan.
Rumors about a clash between Obi-Wan and an Inquisitor had been circulating for some time and now these theories, thanks to Cinelinx, seem to slowly take shape.
The series will be set between Revenge of the Sith is Rebels, making it plausible that the Inquisitors could make their first appearance in a live action series.
The Inquisitors’ past saw them as Jedi apprentices passed to the Dark Side through torture, to serve Darth Vader and hunt down the last remaining Jedi. In Rebels the Fifth Brother was chasing Ezra along with the Seventh Sister who, in all probability, will be played by Indira Varma.
It now remains to be seen if the Inquisitors, once Disney confirms these rumors, will be looking for Luke or Leia and which of the two will have to protect. Obi-Wan Kenobi.
