In the «Star Wars» series it feels like one star cameo after the other is knocked out — was it in » The Book of Boba Fett » for example Danny Trejo , in » Obi-Wan Kenobi » he already had «Red Hot Chili Peppers» -Bassist Flea an appearance.

So Zach Braff in a villain role – and the fans were enthusiastic and amazed on Twitter (after many, as I said, had to puzzle for a while who Braff was playing):
It continues with «Obi-Wan Kenobi» on Disney + then on June 8th. After the series premiered with a double episode on a Friday, episode 3 switched back to the typical Disney+ slot on Wednesday. By the way, not only Zach Braff was a nice surprise in episode 3 — the appearance of Darth Vader also delighted the fans with a very special return:
