Obi-Wan Kenobi spoilers follow.
Obi-Wan Kenobi has re-introduced the iconic voice of Darth Vader, with James Earl Jones returning to the role.
While fans have known for a while that Hayden Christensen would be portraying the Star Wars villain physically, it had been unclear whether we would be hearing the Sith baddie's voice, with Jones not announced as part of the cast beforehand.

However, episode three of the Disney+ series confirmed that the 91-year-old actor is back, as viewers were reintroduced properly to Kenobi's former apprentice.

In the episode, Vader is first seen being suited up, before communicating behind his mask to Inquisitor Reva (Moses Ingram).
He later comes face-to-face with his former master again in a lightsaber duel, and tortures Kenobi in fire before the latter is saved and escapes.
Jones voiced Vader in the original Star Wars trilogy, and has since reprised the character in Revenge of the Sith, Rogue One, The Rise of Skywalker and TV series Rebels, alongside a few other projects.

Besides the big Vader focus, the latest episode of the show suggested that Kenobi may have a wider family, the Jedi hinting at a secret sibling while chatting to Leia (Vivien Lyra Blair).
"I think I had a brother, but I don't remember him," he tells her, teasing the possibility of some secrets being revealed in the remaining episodes.
The Obi-Wan Kenobi TV is now streaming new episodes weekly on Disney+, airing on Wednesdays. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and the entire Skywalker Saga are available on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K now, as well as on Disney+, while Rise of Skywalker is also on Sky Cinema Premiere and NOW.
