4. Wait, That's Zach Braff?

Not only did Obi-Wan Kenobi bring back some familiar faces, it introduced viewers to a diverse range of new characters, including Tala, Haja, and Rokan.

But one guy that immediately made an impression was Freck. Despite only appearing in Episode III, fans were deeply intrigued by this mole-like creature. Even though he acts friendly towards Obi-Wan and Leia, he makes no secret that he's an Imperial suck-up. Although his loyalty seems to stem from naivety at first, he later demonstrates he has no qualms with selling out anyone to The Empire.

But it wasn't just his unique appearance or personality that fascinated viewers - it was his voice. Because of Freck's baritone timber, many viewers were certain the vocals were performed by Seth Rogen. (This is an understandable assumption. Rogen seems to be showing up in everything recently, including The Boys and Pam + Tommy.)

So, when the credits rolled, viewers were baffled to see Freck was voiced by Zach Braff. Even if you were a devoted fan of Braff's work, no one could've guessed the Scrubs star voiced this eccentric character.
