\u201cHello there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Star Wars fans everywhere can now rejoice: The long-awaited Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer is here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Disney+\u2019s first \u2018Star Wars\u2019 throwback series brings Ewan McGregor into the fold to reprise his fan-favorite role of Obi-Wan Kenobi 17 years after \u2018Revenge of the Sith\u2019 premiered. When the trailer began, every hair on my body stood at attention as the choral procession from John Williams\u2019 epic \u201cDuel of the Fates\u201d from \u2018Phantom Menace\u2019 (1999) plays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Back on Anakin Skywalker\u2019s home planet of Tattooine, Kenobi watches a young Luke Skywalker from afar as he\u2019s raised by his aunt and uncle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is unknown as of yet if storm troopers featured in this series have become any more lethal at desert combat, but based on their urban combat training skills, we can only assume that this Star Wars series will continue their long-held tradition of being Bantha poodoo at fighting wars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Threats to the jedi are everywhere as the Galactic Empire, led by Darth Sidious and his new padawan Darth Vader, expands its reach. Kenobi is also now on the run from the Grand Inquisitor, a jedi-hunter played by Rupert Friend (\u2019Homeland\u2019).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But this first teaser does not yet show what we all know is coming: An epic rematch between Kenobi and Vader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The series premieres on May 25.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n
