The latest Star Wars spin-off series, Obi-Wan Kenobi has a surprise guest feature from the one and only Flea of Red Hot Chili Peppers fame.
He appears in the first two episodes of the series, which are currently streaming via Disney+.
Flea plays a bounty hunter named Vect Nehru, who attempts to lure Obi-Wan Kenobi into a trap to capture the Jedi. He also is tasked to kidnap Princess Leia.
It's not the first time that Flea has acted as a creative pursuit. He appeared in the 1987 film Dudes, the third instalment of Back To The Future as well as The Big Lebowski. He's also featured in Baby Driver, Queen and Slim and Toy Story 4.
The show follows Obi-Wan Kenobi's “greatest defeat as he witnesses the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, who turned to the dark side as evil Sith Lord Darth Vader”, according to a press statement from Disney.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers recently released their 11th studio album Unlimited Love, which was produced by Rick Rubin.
“We (John, Anthony, Chad and Flea) spent thousands of hours, collectively and individually, honing our craft and showing up for one another, to make the best album we could,” the band said in a press release.
“Our antennae attuned to the divine cosmos, we were just so damn grateful for the opportunity to be in a room together, and, once again, try to get better.
"Days, weeks and months spent listening to each other, composing, jamming freely, and arranging the fruit of those jams with great care and purpose. The sounds, rhythms, vibrations, words and melodies had us enrapt."
