Rupert Friend Playing Grand Inquisitor In Obi-Wan Kenobi Rumor We're Backing Up | Barside Buzz

Yesterday Bespin Bulletin released an exclusive story that they’ve learned that it’s Rupert Friend playing Grand Inquisitor in Obi-Wan Kenobi. This is information the outlet has heard from a couple different source over the last few weeks and thus they ran the story. From LRM‘s perspective, we are happy to back up this rumor. I heard the same information around a week or two ago myself from a trusted source. However with only one source and no back up we didn’t feel ready to run it ourselves.

We’ve known Rupert friend was in Obi-Wan Kenobi since the cast list was announced. However, we never had a definitive answer on exactly who Friend was playing until now. LRM had already reported there would be multiple Inquisitors in Obi-Wan Kenobi. However, who was playing who was something our original source was tight lipped about at the time.

Given the situation, I think it seems very likely that this information is correct. I know there will be some fans disappointed that Jason Isaacs is not playing the role in live-action. When asked, the actor appeared keen in previous interviews. I had heard there was a chance Friend was playing the role, way way back. However at the time I had no reason to believe it until I heard again from a more trusted source more recently. BB has been very solid when it comes to Star Wars rumors, as I hope fans also think we are.

I guess we will find out for certain sometime in May. Though never officially dated, there have been a lot of rumors and circumstantial evidence that May will see the debut of this highly anticipated Star Wars show. Though, I’m certainly not betting my mortgage on that, it seems the best possible guess for now.
