Here’s Star Wars Battlefront III’s Sith Kenobi

Oh man, oh man, oh man. This has got to be the coolest looking Obi-Wan Kenobi I’ve ever seen.


Fresh from the Kotaku source line come these amazing concept images of what would have happened if Obi-Wan Kenobi turned to the Dark Side.

Here’s what Free Radical did to turn the lovable teacher into a frightening hermit for what would have been Star Wars Battlefront III:


Tattered rags for clothes, like Yoda’s but more decayed.
Yellowed teeth and claw like nails
Relics and artifacts with strong dark side resonance kept in pouches and threaded through his clothes.
Belts and straps made from Krayt dragon leather
Fur lining from Wampa slain on his travels
Many layers of robes, cloaks and cloth mask his shriveled wiry frame.
Mostly a hermit, Dark Obi-Wan wanders searching for places and things with strong connections to the dark side.

I sure hope the new developers take this in the same direction.

    No…no…NO! Dark Kenobi?!?!? Are you fucking KIDDING ME? That has got to be one of the lamest ideas for a Star Wars game EVER! Kenobi HAS a back story from the end of Episode III to the beginning of Episode IV. I mean he fought Darth Maul again all upgraded in his hut on Tattooine…WHY NOT PUT THAT IN THE GAME! Whilst not totally Canon, it’s still a better idea than Dark Kenobi!
