Yes, Obi-Wan and Anakin/Vader fought in the third episode (and what a fight it was), but that felt like a tease for a bigger brawl. Plus, while Lucasfilm and Disney Plus are crediting Hayden Christiansen as playing Anakin/Vader, we have barely seen any of the actor so far this season (was that even him in the Bacta tank?) And Vader will find his prey because Reva pulled a clever move right before Obi-Wan and Leia escaped. She turned Leia’s L0-LA59 droid (which the kid calls ‘Lola,’ affectionately) into a tracking beacon. The fourth episode also gave us two of the latest beloved members of the Obi-Wan Kenobi cast: O’Shea Jackson Jr. as Roken and Maya Erskine as a to-be-named character that subtitles suggest is named Sully. They work on “The Path” and we need a new show starring them now. Here’s everything to know about how and when to watch Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 5 online. Also, check out why Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 4 fixed my biggest problem with the show.

Obi-Wan Kenobi cast
The cast of Obi-Wan Kenobi is led by Ewan McGregor as the Jedi master. He survived the Order 66 execution of Jedi and is living under the name “Ben” on Tatooine, where he watches over Luke Skywalker. His biggest co-star is Vivien Lyra Blair, who plays a young Princess Leia Organa. He is joined by his co-star from Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader. Father to Luke and Leia Organa, Vader is a Sith Lord who commands the Inquisitors in a hunt for surviving Jedi. Two big debuts of the season came in this episode, as O’Shea Jackson Jr. and Maya Erskine, play (respectively) Roken and a to-be-named character who the subtitles claimed was named Sully. They both work on The Path, to help free Jedi fleeing under threat of Order 66. Other Obi-Wan Kenobi cast members include:
