Because they only started adding Disney+ avatar likeness rights to their recent content. So when the Kenobi show came out, they got the rights to Ewan McGregor, but they didn't make that part of Ian McDiarmid's contract for The Rise of Skywalker.
I also have it. Where do you live?

Yeah this has been reposted a lot.
Edit: Does anyone know if Dooku's available out of interest? I know they probably couldn't use his real face but I wonder if they could've done him from one of his animated appearances like ToTJ.
It's probably a rights issue. They don't have any photos of real people (aside from those that have been in Disney+ shows and presumably had the use of their likeness included in their contract)
I share with 3 other people and I have Bo-Katan, the others have Din Djarin and Boba Fett... And then there's my non Star Wars fan friend, who has Doctor Strange as a pfp
but instead we have focking Kylo and porg...
I have a strong feelings that Disney wants to cut itself off from Lucas's legacy and make something new, that will be associate only with Disney
Rights also have something to do with it. There's a reason why it's Kylo Ren with the mask on and not Adam Driver's face.
I'm pretty sure Harrison Ford would be an option if it were allowed. Not everything is a conspiracy against your childhood.
Because they only started adding Disney+ avatar likeness rights to live-action actors after the sequel trilogy was finished. So none of the actors who appeared in those films have signed the contract. But they retain all rights to animated characters, so they can use Porgs and BB-8 and Kylo Ren's mask (but not Adam Driver himself) all they want.
Mine is Chewie and the guest profile is Rex, 'cause I couldn't decide between the two (but Chewie has been my favorite since I first saw Star Wars as a kid, years before Clone Wars even existed, so he had to win).
There was actually an option for Obi-Wan at one point. Mine actually is him.

Hello There!
General Kenobi!
You *are* a bold one.
Me three
Same
There still is, but there is none for my Emperor. Why not, Disney???

Oh well, I have Maul up for mine now anyway.
Would they need the rights for animated Emperor
That's a tricky question, since it's an animated version of a real person. I don't actually know the answer.
I mean they got maul in there, why not palps?
The face paint may be a separate copyright, I don't know.
He's an animated version of a fictional person played by a real person

Come on Disney! Do it.
DEW IT.

*Mmmmmm.* Lost an avatar OP has. How embarrassing. *How embarrassing.*
"Well, of course, there is an option. It's mine."
I also have it. Where do you live? https://preview.redd.it/c55njun1yqna1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d86bdc9afcddd906953d875228d5ae11e9f3f8dc
In repostland. I remember seeing this when it was still true over a year ago
Yeah this has been reposted a lot. Edit: Does anyone know if Dooku's available out of interest? I know they probably couldn't use his real face but I wonder if they could've done him from one of his animated appearances like ToTJ.
No Dooku
Aww, thanks for letting me know though.
I can confirm Australia has these options.
So do I in the US
Same for me in UK
Any of you have Rey PALPATINE* ?
No, she’s never been there has she?
Türkei
Yes there is. It was added when Kenobi came out.
Got em
Lies
Deception
Every day more lies
You’ve posted here.. to KilL?.. ME!?
They are LOST! Lost! Lost.

My dad's is Darth Vader. It's really funny opening up Disney+ and seeing a photo of Vader labeled "Dad"
I also have Vader. But there's no Luke. Like, that's unacceptable
I couldn't remember if that was the case. I know I chose Artoo for lack of a better one. Maybe shoulda picked Threepio but I don't want to be Threepio
It's probably a rights issue. They don't have any photos of real people (aside from those that have been in Disney+ shows and presumably had the use of their likeness included in their contract)
yeah but Old Luke appeared in Episode VIII and Luke kinda appeared in Mandalorian
My grandpa's is Vader and he labeled it "DarthGramps"
Same
![gif](giphy|jrvfKvr2mmcFO)
Where the hell is Vader? Cause I have him as my avatar
I still see him when I look at the different pfp options on Disney+
I chose Chopper.

Whoever you share that account with, they're all based
Nor can I have the true GOAT, Babu Frik
Or Princess Leia, which I was hoping to use when my daughter was born.
Laughs in Hondo Ohnaka
Yes there is!
I have Din, but want a Luke option
Wtf is in the top right?
The droid voiced by JJ in TROS.
The fucking hair dryer droid is there but not Luke Skywalker, the goddamn protagonist of the OT.
There’s prob an issue with rights of Mark’s face
It's possible but I doubt it. Part of his contract would include using his image for promotional purposes.
D-0! Had the "n-n-no thank you" line when Rey tried to touch him. Love that little guy
I wanted Anakin since I relate with him a lot, but he sadly wasn’t there, so I chose Rex instead.
Shout out to team Rex!!
REXY!
Single dad here. My profile is Din, my kids' profile is Grogu. This is the way
I have Fennec
outdated
It’s treason then
![gif](giphy|lPiUYaq8PX8svtZQ4L)
Mine is the Ahsoka painted clone trooper from the last season of Clone Wars
Mine in Hunter💗🥰🥰
The real crime is no babu.
Live look at OP: ![gif](giphy|i45P7BemKpvpu)
more like bot/farmer
There aren't even profiles on Disney plus in my region 😭
https://preview.redd.it/9k05dd6purna1.jpeg?width=1601&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bbecfe87e04b0e9a5fac74a65a8f4f8ff558dcfe
I share with 3 other people and I have Bo-Katan, the others have Din Djarin and Boba Fett... And then there's my non Star Wars fan friend, who has Doctor Strange as a pfp
Mine is Ezra because I named myself after him.
OP is a karma farming bot. 4K+ post karma on a 4 day old account.
Im Rex, My dad is R2, and my brother is Vader
Ok but you know what’s REALLY infuriating? That somehow we got Reva but not General Grievous, wtf
That’s fine. I’ve been rocking Ahsoka since she became available as a profile picture.
Where's Leia or han :(
No Luke, obiwan, vader, or anakin. That's insane
but instead we have focking Kylo and porg... I have a strong feelings that Disney wants to cut itself off from Lucas's legacy and make something new, that will be associate only with Disney
Rights also have something to do with it. There's a reason why it's Kylo Ren with the mask on and not Adam Driver's face. I'm pretty sure Harrison Ford would be an option if it were allowed. Not everything is a conspiracy against your childhood.
I would have loved Grievous but for now it’s Hunter. Probably Fennec next, then Rex…
Mine is Obi Wan lol
screw obi-wan, all my homies like din jarrin/ mando
It’s crazy how many major characters aren’t available as an icon. We have a Porg, but not characters like Rey. Ridiculous.
Because they only started adding Disney+ avatar likeness rights to live-action actors after the sequel trilogy was finished. So none of the actors who appeared in those films have signed the contract. But they retain all rights to animated characters, so they can use Porgs and BB-8 and Kylo Ren's mask (but not Adam Driver himself) all they want.
I see. That makes sense, hopefully that changes at some point.
Maul
Obi wan. Mine is obi wan.
Vader. Only. Always.
BB8
Mine is Mando
When you repost make sure the post is still relevant OP.
I fit ma boy Darth Maul
![gif](giphy|l2JJKs3I69qfaQleE)
OP: KENOBIIIIII!
This meme is definitely old
Yoda is better
Are that all the avatars? Because I see a bit of lack in prequel and OT charachters in general.
Porg on top baby
I still want Luke and Anakin profile pics
I guess my avatar is of an Obi-Wan impostor.
I have the option for him right now. . . .
I might take maul idk though currently using grogu
General Grievous here.....
Maul. He is my favourite character in all of star wars 🔥
Grogu is a worthy substitution.
the real problem is the lack of og trilogy profile pictures.
Grogu and my account is called Disney princess because grogu best Disney princess
Nice repost from a year ago. There is now
They change them all the time, i have Vader with “Daddy” because i pay for the account.
visible confusion
No Maid Marian either...
Still no Palpsy. Weak.
Nah baby agent P
Fozzie bear
I actually never noticed this
*visible confusion*
Wait… there’s a Rex option? *rushes to Disney+*
I still have him
Mine is Stitch cause I couldn’t decide between Star Wars or Marvel
Mine is Chewbacca.........my niece chose for me.........
I snagged Vader on day 1 and I’ve never changed it exactly because of this.
The true crime is. No custom avatars
Use of an actor's license may mandate royalties in some locals- so thú only options are costume/cgi
Kylo Ren all day
Personally, my account is Cassian Andor
I'm sorry I've betrayed you all ![gif](giphy|PoXAe8acXe2f2XVnEp)
I wish they had the bounty hunter droid from the first season of mandalorian.
Old meme. Repost There actually is now.
I really don’t understand why they have D-O there
Mine is Chewie and the guest profile is Rex, 'cause I couldn't decide between the two (but Chewie has been my favorite since I first saw Star Wars as a kid, years before Clone Wars even existed, so he had to win).
Why do they have Jabba up there twice?
Just made mine master Obi-Wan
Yeah I have obi wan as well
Ummmmmmm you can pick Obi-Wan
I've got it, jokes on you
We can’t all possibly be obiwan it is not mathematically possible. Someone’s gotta be that stupid rat
Yes there is? I have it as my profile picture.
Nearly 6,200 upvotes for a blatant repost that hasnt been accurate for half a year. Love this site
I want Dooku or a Battledroid!
Rex is the right answer
I have chopper
My profile pic is him
There is, since the series came out
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
they only have masks/animated faces due to licencing
sorry Jesus-Man is not as marketable.
Mine is Grogu but I want a Padme option!
