Disney+ has finally offered a good take on the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. The streaming service has released a teaser trailer for Obi-Wan Kenobi that chronicles the life of a Jedi on Tatooine as he escapes the Empire and protects the young Luke Skywalker. As you can see from the clip, it won’t be easy – Imperial forces are turning to the Sith, who will be looking for “weaknesses” like compassion in order to hunt down the remnants of the Jedi Order.
The limited-edition series will debut on May 25, or 45 years after the premiere of the original Star Wars movie. Ewan McGregor reprises his role as the titular Obi-Wan Kenobi, while Hayden Christensen returns as a young Darth Vader. The Mandalorian alumnus Deborah Chow is directing the show.
Obi-Wan arrives a few months after The Boba Fett Book and introduces a growing wave of Star Wars originals for Disney+ that will include Ahsoka, Andor and the Helper. Shows like this are not uncommon, they are one-time projects and represent the cornerstone of the Disney+ strategy.
