Star Wars Black Series Obi-Wan vs Vader Rematch

The Obi-Wan Kenobi series is built around a single dramatic premise: ten years after Mustafar, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader meet again. That premise carries the emotional weight of three prequel films and a relationship that defined both characters, and the Black Series responded with one of its most comprehensive single-series sub-lines — three Obi-Wan configurations, three Vader variants including the cracked-mask Duel’s End, a complete Inquisitorius, and a supporting cast that covers every significant character in the series.

The Scene in Star Wars

Obi-Wan Kenobi is set in the ten-year gap between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope — the period when Obi-Wan is hiding on Tatooine, watching over a young Luke Skywalker from a distance, trying to stay invisible to the Inquisitors who hunt surviving Jedi. He’s not the character audiences remember. He’s broken, disconnected from the Force, consumed by guilt over what happened to Anakin. The series’ first act is about how far he has fallen before the story forces him to act.

The inciting event is a kidnapping — Princess Leia, taken by the Inquisitorius to draw Obi-Wan out. It works. Obi-Wan leaves Tatooine for the first time in years and begins the process of remembering who he is.

The series’ structure gives Obi-Wan two encounters with Vader. The first — on Mapuzo — is the most emotionally raw: a diminished exile facing a confident, powerful Sith Lord who was once his apprentice. Vader wins decisively, and the defeat is designed to be watched. He’s not trying to kill Obi-Wan on Mapuzo. He’s making a point. The second encounter — the Duel’s End — is the series’ resolution, and it goes differently. Obi-Wan restored to something like his true capability, Vader’s mask split to reveal the scarred face beneath, and a conversation through the damage that closes the emotional account the prequel trilogy opened.

The final exchange — “Anakin is gone. I am what remains.” / “Then my Padawan is truly dead” — is the series at its most precise. Obi-Wan isn’t mourning a defeat. He’s releasing a responsibility he’s been carrying for a decade.

The Two Duels

The display naturally splits across the series’ two confrontations, and Hasbro’s figure selection reflects this. For the Mapuzo encounter, the Wandering Jedi Obi-Wan and the standard Darth Vader (Obi-Wan Kenobi) cover the broken exile versus the triumphant Sith. For the Duel’s End, the Jedi Legend Obi-Wan and the Darth Vader (Duel’s End) cover the restored master versus the damaged villain.

The Darth Vader (Duel’s End) is the most emotionally significant individual figure the Obi-Wan Kenobi sub-line produced — the cracked mask revealing Anakin’s scarred face beneath is a specific and loaded image, and its release as a Target exclusive followed by a 2026 mainline reissue reflects both the demand for the figure and the practical challenge of having it as an exclusive. The reissue makes it accessible without secondary market premium.

The Obi-Wan Kenobi (Jedi Legend) Walmart exclusive covers the finale Obi-Wan — the hooded Jedi Master at the series’ emotional peak. For collectors who want a single Obi-Wan configuration to represent the series, this is the display recommendation.

The Inquisitorius

The Obi-Wan Kenobi series gives the Inquisitorius its most substantial Black Series representation. The Grand Inquisitor, Reva (Third Sister), the Fifth Brother, and the Fourth Sister are all produced in the sub-line, along with the Purge Trooper (Phase II Armor) who supports their operations.

The Grand Inquisitor is the Inquisitorius’ leader — a Pau’an whose history with the Jedi Order gives him a specific hatred for what they represent. His death at Reva’s hands partway through the series, and his reappearance after it, is one of the more narratively interesting choices Obi-Wan Kenobi makes about how committed it is to continuity with Rebels.

Reva is the series’ breakout character — the Third Sister whose obsessive pursuit of Obi-Wan has a motivation that the series holds back until its third act. Her arc from apparent villain to survivor is the series’ most complete character journey, and her figure captures the specific intensity of her appearance.

The Seventh Sister, from Rebels, is now tagged to this scene following the removal of the Inquisitor Hunt scene — she’s the appropriate display context for an Inquisitor character, and the Obi-Wan Kenobi sub-line is where the Inquisitorius is most completely represented.

Supporting Cast

Tala (Imperial Officer) is the series’ resistance contact — the Imperial officer running an underground network for Force-sensitives while maintaining her Imperial cover. Her arc ends in sacrifice, and her figure is one of the sub-line’s more quietly affecting inclusions.

NED-B is the large loader droid who serves as protector in the Path network — physically imposing, loyal, and one of the series’ more original droid designs. The Deluxe release gives him the scale his design requires.

Commander Appo is the clone trooper commander whose Target exclusive status makes him the most challenging figure to source in the sub-line. His presence connects the series to the Clone Wars era — a clone soldier now operating within the Empire’s structure.

Qui-Gon Jinn (Force Spirit) is the series’ final emotional beat — Obi-Wan’s master appearing after the final duel, the connection restored, the grief beginning to resolve. His Walmart exclusive status and translucent blue Force ghost treatment make him one of the sub-line’s most visually distinctive figures.

Teeka (Jawa) reflects the series’ Tatooine sequences — the Jawa that Obi-Wan encounters in his exile period, connecting the scene to the Tatooine Desert display.
