In a thrilling move for Star Wars aficionados, Gentle Giant Ltd. has joined forces with Diamond Select Toys to unveil a fresh line of collectibles. Featuring iconic characters like Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader, and Bo-Katan Kryze, these new offerings promise to be a captivating addition to any collection.
Kenobi and Vader: Dueling Destinies
Evolving from the limited series “Obi-Wan Kenobi”, the statues of Vader and Kenobi depict a riveting scene. The series, which resonated deeply with fans, paints a vivid image of the intense and cinematic showdown between these two Jedi brothers. With figures displaying Kenobi and Vader amidst blazing fires, they’re poised for their dramatic confrontation. Ewan McGregor, who brilliantly portrayed Kenobi, has expressed a keen interest in reprising his role in subsequent ventures.
Bo-Katan’s Vibrant Transformation
The Bo-Katan statue does justice to Katee Sackhoff’s role from “The Mandalorian”. With striking accuracy and attention to detail, it comes equipped with switchable head and arm features, presenting collectors with an array of dynamic posing options. Fans might also recall seeing Sackhoff breathe life into this character in other Star Wars ventures like “The Clone Wars” and “Star Wars Rebels”.
Revisiting Kenobi’s Saga
Approximately ten years post the events in “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith”, the narrative brings Obi-Wan Kenobi back from obscurity. The show delves into Kenobi’s mission to protect a young Princess Leia from the clutches of the malevolent Darth Vader, played by Hayden Christensen. Under Deborah Chow’s visionary direction, the series garnered massive attention, raking in an impressive viewership.
Ending on a high, the show’s finale outstripped “The Book of Boba Fett’s” last episode by a whopping 20% in viewership metrics. Kathleen Kennedy, in a discussion with Variety, hinted at the possibility that this might signal the end of Kenobi’s epic journey. She mentioned, “[A second season] is not [in] active development. But I never say never, because there’s always the possibility. Ewan McGregor really wants to do another. We’ll turn our attention to that again maybe down the road.”
For its spellbinding narrative, “Obi-Wan Kenobi” received a nomination for Best Limited Series at the 2023 Primetime Emmy Awards.
