We expect a steady stream of new Obi-Wan Kenobi content as the series heads closer to its release date. But it’s still a joy to see new parts of the show every time they release. In this case, Total FilmOpens in a new tab has shared three new images from Disney+Opens in a new tab‘s Obi-Wan Kenobi series. While these images largely reveal different looks at things we’ve already seen, we can still appreciate Obi-Wan’s stylish new look, another glimpse at the planet Daiyu, and another glimpse of everyone’s favorite villain, the Grand Inquisitor.

We know that we’ll see many different sides of Obi-Wan in this new series. On the one hand, he’ll spend time on Tatooine protecting Luke Skywalker. Of course, the pair are in hiding. And at the beginning of the series, Obi-Wan Kenobi finds himself without much hope at all. We can tell by his thick depression beard. But we must say, we are digging Obi-Wan’s hairstyleOpens in a new tab so far in this series.

But hopefully, as the series kicks into gear, Obi-Wan can shake off the blues and get his head in the game. Because we know he’ll have no shortage of adventures. He’ll head off-planet to new worlds, such as Daiyu. In this new Obi-Wan Kenobi image, we get another look at the neon planet. It matches what we know about Daiyu so far. According to writer Joby HaroldOpens in a new tab, Daiyu has “sort of has a Hong Kong feel to it. It’s got a graffiti-ridden nightlife, and is kind of edgy. It’s just got a different lane and a different feeling.”

Obi-Wan has his robe and hood on and he’s ready to explore… But not too overtly, because the dark side has eyes everywhere. Our final new Obi-Wan Kenobi image reveals Rupert Friend as the Grand InquisitorOpens in a new tab. He’s got his hand on an ominous-looking wheel and he’s not to be trifled with.

But Total Film reminds us he’s not our only baddie. Moses Ingram’s Inquisitor Reva lurks in waiting. And, of course, we can’t forget Darth Vader himself.
