This isn't "The High Republic Show."
Hey y'all, it's me, your good friend Krystina Arielle.
What am I doing here on "This Week in Star Wars"?
I'm filling in for Kristin while she's taking a little vacay.
Ready to talk some "Star Wars" news? Me too.
Let's get to it.
The Grand Inquisitor is entering the holotables
in "Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes."
Starting today, players can add this relentless leader of the Inquisitorius

Ooh, speaking of treats,
the finale of "Obi-Wan Kenobi" was yesterday.
But to keep our promise to Little Leia,
we're gonna keep our lips sealed on those details
and focus on Part 5 from last week.
If you haven't watched it, you're gonna wanna Obi-wobble on over
to the timestamp below.
All right, who else was hit real hard deep down by this episode?
Right off the bat, we're greeted
by some brand-new young Obi-Wan and Anakin content,
with the two participating in a little training session
that clashes us back to the present.
Reva's hard work and perseverance gets her the title of Grand Inquisitor.
Ooh, snazzy pin.
But her true intentions are revealed when she and the Empire are
knock, knock, knocking on the door of the Path's hidden base on Jabiim.
- Fire!
- Even worse? Big baddie Darth Vader is on the way.
Unable to escape because of the now evil Lola
sabotaging the hangar door,
Little Leia steps up to help, and she does it!
Yay!
Holy Force strength, Vader.
But with a little bait and switch, our friends get away and Reva finds out
why it's not easy going up against Vader.
He's not even using his lightsaber.
Oh, yeah, and the Grand Inquisitor is back, baby!
- Hello, Third Sister.
- Checking back in with all our friends, all is well, right?
Right? Uh-oh.
I can't believe we're at the end of the "Obi-Wan Kenobi" limited series.
Want a rewatch? You can do so right now on Disney+.
Oh, and...
notice anyone familiar in the crowd on Jabiim?
- But we do not need to fight them.
- All right, everybody, run!
- Our hyperdrive is down.
- What is it? Are you okay?
- For more on that, maybe we'll see a little something soon
right here on this very channel.
We asked "Obi-Wan Kenobi" stars Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen
and director Deborah Chow to give us their insights
into who Obi-Wan is when we first meet him in the new series.
Here's what they said.
- I think the biggest focus in what we were trying to do
was to tell a more character-driven story.
You know, it is "Obi-Wan Kenobi,"
and I was really excited about the idea of really focusing on one character
and really going deeper with the character,
and I think also having Ewan McGregor back in this role
just brings such a depth and a soul to the role.
- It's been ten years.
I'm not who I used to be.
I certainly, you know, considered
what it might be like to lose everything.
I mean, his whole world has been destroyed.
His Jedi Order has been destroyed and everything that he fought for,
and also the idea that you're on the right side and the good side
and that, even still, that you've lost the battle
must be very difficult to take.
Only when the eyes are closed can you truly see.
- It's been just, you know, incredible.
He's such a lovely man.
We became really close when we were doing the prequels.
We just sort of have a special bond
because of all of our time spent together on those films
and because of the characters that we played
and their relationship.
So for sure, coming back to this and getting to do it with Ewan
has just been incredible.
- Well, thanks, y'all.
