Spoilers for Obi-Wan Kenobi ahead!

Fans are wondering whether the Grand Inquisitor (played by Rupert Friend), who first appeared in Star ♏Wars: Rebels, 🌄is dead. Since Obi-Wan is a prequel series that takes place way before Rebels, his potential death would mean that he was never in the animated series at all – thus, breaking official Star Wars canon.

In an interview with , Harold was directly asked if the events in episode 2 had broken canon, including the fact that Grand Inqu🧸isitor does die in Rebels –but in a completely different way.

"As you know, we would never break canon," th🧜e screenwriter responded. So that's all I'll say. Canon is everything."

When asked if fans should wait to see what happens befor🍬e deciding it was either a mistake or a retcon, Harold stated that he "can't speak to it beyond that" but reassured fans th𝓀at the writers "all know where we're going in the show." 

The moment even shocked Rupert Fr෴iend, who let ou♛t an "audible gasp."

"That was quite grat🅠ifying because that's the intention to show. It begins with the Grand Inquisitor, well, grandstanding and enjoying the sound of his own voice. I don't think we anticipate that voice suddenly being cut off as it was."
