If you watched the credits roll at the end of the Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 3, there’s no doubt you noticed Zack Braff’s name pop up. Well, he took on the role of the alien character Freck, the transport driver who gave Obi-Wan and young Leia a lift.
He recently confirmed his involvement on Instagram and shared a few behind the scenes photos from the production of the Star Wars series. Braff actually previously worked with series director Deborah Chow on the 2010 drama film The High Cost of Living. It’s pretty cool that she brought him into the Star Wars universe for this little role.
Check out the photos below and let us know what you’ve thought about the series so far.
The story begins “10 years after the dramatic events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith where Obi-Wan Kenobi faced his greatest defeat—the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, who turned to the dark side as evil Sith Lord Darth Vader.”
Ewan McGregor stars as the titular Jedi master, whom he famously portrayed in George Lucas’ prequel trilogy. It also features the return of Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader, Joel Edgerton as Owen Lars, and Bonnie Piesse as Beru Lars.
The series also stars Moses Ingram (The Queen’s Gambit), Kumail Nanjiani (Eternals), Indira Varma (Game of Thrones), Rupert Friend (Homeland), O’Shea Jackson Jr. (Godzilla: King of the Monsters), Sung Kang (F9: The Fast Saga), Simone Kessell (Of Kings and Prophets), and Benny Safdie (Uncut Gems).
