Sung Kang the actor best known for his role as Han in The Fast and Furious franchise has reportedly joined the cast of Star Wars: Kenobi alongside Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen. Not much is known about that show as of right now but more details are sure to come.
“To make things even more exciting, Obi-Wan Kenobi will see the return of Hayden Christensen’s Darth Vader. The plot details for the show are still being kept under wraps, though it’s guaranteed that Obi-Wan will be living by himself on Tatooine.
Beyond McGregor and Christensen, Obi-Wan Kenobi features an impressive supporting cast that includes Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, Moses Ingram, and of course Sung Hang. Few details about their characters have been revealed, but Kang is rumored to play an Inquisitor,” reports Screen Rant.
In an official interview with Kang, he was asked about being on set with such an amazing cast and how it feels to be in the Star Wars galaxy. He replied with a story about how he used to dress up as Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, and how he used to make lightsabers out of paper towel rolls. But the most important part of that interview was when Kang said “my character has a lightsaber” said in an interview with Screen Rant.
Sung Kang shares a major detail about his Kenobi character
Many fans are now wondering what role Sung Kang will be playing and it is heavily speculated that he will be playing an Inquisitor. Inquisitors are weapons used by the Empire in its early years to track down and kill any living Jedi.
Trained by no other than Darth Vader himself Inquisitors are not sith but they are deadly assassins. It will be very interesting to see what Kang’s character will get into the Kenobi show.
As Star Wars fans patiently await the Kenobi show they can only speculate the amazing cinematic shots, the nostalgia of seeing Hayden as Vader, and maybe even seeing Kenobi’s old master Qui-Gon Jinn. But for now, we can only wait and hope that the show will live up to all the very high expectations that have been placed on it.
It will be very interesting to see what direction the show goes in and how many seasons there could possibly be. The show comes out sometime in 2022 but we will have other Star Wars content to hold us over until then as the Book Of Boba Fett comes out at the end of this year and that is sure to be a fantastic show.
