The latest trailer for the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series has been released in celebration of Star Wars Day (May 4th), and the new trailer seems to reveal at least one fan-favorite character making a debut in the Star Wars TV Universe.
If you look closely at the latest Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer at around (0:53), it shows the scene where Obi-Wan is having a shootout over the rooftops with a two-gun-toting figure that some of the fans determined to be 4-LOM. You can check it out for yourself below.
If you don’t know the character, 4-LOM (or "FOR-ELLOEM") is one of the LOM-series protocol droids whose ambition was much greater than what was programmed in him – especially after he learned about the planet where the droids had risen up in defiance.
4-LOM decided to strike out on his own becoming a bounty hunter and thief. 4-LOM is one of the bounty hunters that Darth Vader gathered to hunt down Han Solo back in The Empire Strike Back, and just like Boba Fett and IG-88 (who also made an appearance in that iconic scene), 4-LOM has seen his cameo appearance expand into a full-fledge corner of the Star Wars lore.
Recently, 4-LOM has been put into the spotlight in the Star Wars Bounty Hunters comic book series. 4-LOM became a pivotal player in big Original Trilogy-era events such as "War of the Bounty Hunters", a major crossover (set between the events of Empire and Return of the Jedi) which ran through Star Wars comics back in 2021.
While it is harder to confirm in the scene that was shown in the trailer, a lot of fans think that the rooftop shootout scene with 4-LOM also features his fellow bounty hunter/tracker Zuckuss.
A lot of these live-action Star Wars TV series have featured at least one fan-favorite character that gained popularity in the Star Wars animated series and/or comics. In The Mandalorian series, Ahsoka Tano was brought into live-action as well bringing Boba Fett back to life. The Book of Boba Fett introduced the bounty Hunter Wookie Black Krrsantan to live-action, as well as the infamous bounty hunter Cad Bane.
Now, it seems like the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series is bringing 4-LOM (and almost certainly Zuckuss) back, as well as introducing The Grand Inquisitor (and his crew) into live-action.
Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi is set to premiere its first two episodes on May 27, on Disney+.
