Flea

The Star Wars show Obi-Wan Kenobi includes musician and actor Flea among its cast, but here's why the iconic bassist is in the galaxy far, far away.

Additionally, though, Deborah Chow, who directed all six episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi and serves as an executive producer of the show, also worked with Flea on the 2022 music video for the Red Hot Chili Peppers song "Black Summer." There had been rumors of a Flea cameo about three weeks prior to the release of Obi-Wan Kenobi (via Star Wars News Net). Star Wars has included celebrity cameos before in its Disney+ shows, such as Bill Burr as Migs Mayfeld in The Mandalorian, Thundercat as the Modifier in The Book of Boba Fett, Taika Waititi as the voice of assassin droid-turned-sacrificial nanny IG-11, and a nearly unrecognizable Temuera Morrison in Obi-Wan Kenobi, playing a veteran clone. However, his acting career will continue this year with a part in the Damien Chazelle movie Babylon. Meanwhile, with Hayden Christensen as Vader in Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 2, there surely will be more surprises coming in the next four episodes. The character works for Third Sister Reva (Moses Ingram), an Inquisitor who is fiercely ambitious in her hunt to find Obi-Wan Kenobi and deliver him to Darth Vader. Obi-Wan Kenobi' s Inquisitor Reva was a former Jedi corrupted by the dark side, just like Anakin/Vader. However, because of the Rule of Two dictating that only two Sith Lords can exist at the time — during the events of Obi-Wan Kenobi, this pair is Darth Vader and Darth Sidious — corrupted Jedis like Reva join the Inquisitorius to hunt their former kind. Flea's notable movie roles include Needles in two installments of the Back to the Future trilogy, a nihilist in the Coen brothers' cult classic The Big Lebowski, and Eddie in Baby Driver. In the Disney+ Star Wars show Obi-Wan Kenobi, Flea plays a mercenary named Vect Nokru. Born Michael Peter Balzary, the musician and actor known as Flea is primarily famous for playing the bass in the band Red Hot Chili Peppers, starting with their formation in 1983.

In addition to his journey to a galaxy far, far away, Flea is preparing to rock our galaxy when Red Hot Chili Peppers launch their world tour in June. The group will be supporting their new album, Unlimited Love, which was released in April.
