New merchandise for the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series has been revealed, and while the promo art on the packaging is definitely stylised, it features a particularly interesting shot of Darth Vader.

While the Sith Lord's appearance is, of course, iconic, subtle changes have been made to his armour over the years. In this case, Vader is clearly still in the suit from Revenge of the Sith rather than what we saw in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story or Star Wars: A New Hope. Given the close proximity of Episode III and this Disney+ series, it makes sense for Vader to still have that early armour.

Whether that will leave him with any limitations remains to be seen, especially when he goes head-to-head with Kenobi in what sounds like one of the most amazing lightsaber battles in Star Wars history.

The story begins 10 years after the dramatic events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith where Obi-Wan Kenobi faced his greatest defeat—the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, who turned to the dark side as evil Sith Lord Darth Vader. 

The series also marks the return of Hayden Christensen in the role of Darth Vader. Joining him and McGregor in 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. Kathleen Kennedy, Michelle Rejwan, Deborah Chow, McGregor and Joby Harold executive produce.

Obi-Wan Kenobi premiers on Disney+ on May 25, the 45th anniversary of Star Wars.

I’m way too amped up for this series…Generally I try to temper my expectations on things like this but I just can’t help but get excited…
