And the second is The Grand Inquisitor, who is one of the fiercest villains ever to be introduced into the Star Wars Universe.
He first appeared in the animated show Star Wars Rebels (where he voiced by Harry Potter star Jason Isaacs) and is the highest-ranking Inquisitor within the Galactic Empire.
In the show, he is played by Rupert Friend (Homeland, The Death of Stalin), and he will report directly to Darth Vader, which is likely where Christensen will eventually get folded back into the show.
The events of Obi-Wan Kenobi are set ten years after Revenge of the Sith and four years before Star Wars Rebels, filling in some interesting blanks in these character's backstories.
Specifically, it looks like Darth Vader, The Grand Inquisitor and Inquisitor Reva will be continuing the work of Order 66 - which was instigated in Revenge of the Sith when all "children of the Force" were ordered to be hunted down and killed - after the Emperor predicted that one of the children would ultimately result in his defeat.
Which explains why we're seeing Obi-Wan still keeping a close eye on a certain young Luke....
The first episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi will arrive on Disney+ on Wednesday, 25 May.
Now, if you'll excuse us, we're going to be listening to this on a loop all day...
