Star Wars: 5 things to look forward to in Obi-Wan series on Disney+
By Josh Sippie
1. Black Krrsantan
I’ve been on a Black Krrsantan kick lately. Not sure why. But kick or not, seeing Black Krrsantan on the screen will be a long-awaited debut.
The dark and deadly Wookie is widely regarded as one of the most fearsome bounty hunters in the galaxy and he’s in Jabba’s employ. That alone would lead to the potential of an appearance, same as Boba Fett, but beyond that, if then show follows the route of the graphic novel depiction of Obi-Wan Kenobi’s journal (the one found by Luke Skywalker), then Black Krrsantan really can’t be ignored, because he gets in a pretty amazing fight with the Jedi Master. It’s all over the fate of Uncle Owen and for the most part, Black Krrsantan wins the fight, but for Obi-Wan’s ingenuity.
There are tons of iconic battles in the Star Wars universe, even before fancy graphics were a thing, but this fight popped off the page, so with the right choreography, it would be hard to top on the screen.
Black Krrsantan remains one of the few elite bounty hunters never to have made an appearance in any Star Wars show or movie, and that being the case, it’s time.
