The rumors were true! Red Hot Chili Pepper bassist Flea has a role in the new Obi-Wan Kenobi series.

The first two episodes dropped on Friday on Disney+. 23 years after he was first cast, Ewan McGregor reprised his iconic role as the titular character.

Eagle-eyed fans instantly recognized Flea, who plays a bounty hunter named Vect Nehru.

Pretty amazing seeing someone from your favorite band in a Star Wars related series. My two biggest obsessions for a majority of my life: RHCP and Star Wars. @flea333 @ChiliPeppers @obiwankenobi pic.twitter.com/70FhUI06pk

The role is far from Flea’s first. He made his acting debut in a 1984 film called Suburbia. He has appeared in classics like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Big Lebowski, Back to the Future Part II, and more.

Obi-Wan Kenobi is available to stream on Disney+.
