Disney+ ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ Series Gets a New Trailer

To celebrate Star Wars Day on May 4, Disney+ unleashed a new trailer for the Ewan McGregor-starring Obi-Wan Kenobi series.

The freshly released trailer offers up our most extensive look at the series yet, showing what became of Obi-Wan following the events of Revenge of the Sith. There’s even a brief shot of him watching over a young Luke Skywalker, teasing how the 6-episode series will lead-up to his Jedi origin story in A New Hope. 

Upon being told to scram by young Skywalker’s uncle Owen, Kenobi says, “When the time comes, he must be trained.” Owen retorts, “Like you trained his father?” To coincide with the trailer, Disney+ also shared a poster teasing his fateful reunion with Anakin in the form of Darth Vader.

Obi-Wan Kenobi is McGregor’s first live-action appearance in the world of Star Wars since 2005’s Revenge of the Sith. It also reunites him with his prequel trilogy co-star Hayden Crhistensen, who played the ill-fated Anakin.

“It’s odd to come back to something after such a long period of time,” McGregor said of reuniting with Christensen in an interview earlier this year. “To see Hayden back in the role of Anakin, it was sort of spine-tingling. It was amazing, it was just amazing to see Hayden full-stop. I’m so close with him, we’ve stayed in touch over the years, but we haven’t seen each other for a long time.” 

The new glimpse—which features just a tiny bit of Kenobi’s infamous former padawan—comes ahead of the show’s arrival on May 27. Watch up top.
