The hunt is on for Obi-Wan Kenobi in the first teaser trailer for the upcoming Disney Plus show that sees Ewan McGregor return as the famous Star Wars character. Set to premiere on Disney Plus May 25, Obi-Wan Kenobi is one of the most anticipated new TV shows of the year and this first look does not disappoint.
Obi-Wan Kenobi picks up 10 years after the events of Star Wars — Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, which saw Anakin Skywalker turn to the dark side, to become Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi go into exile on Tatooine to watch over the young Luke Skywalker. As the teaser shows, the Empire has not forgotten about the Jedi master — they are embarking on a massive search across the galaxy for him.
There are plenty of great bits in this teaser. First and foremost we get to see McGregor reprise his famous role. There is also the John Williams’ iconic “Duel of the Fates” score to savor again, new lightsaber-wielding enemies, Joel Edgerton back as Uncle Owen and the unmistakable breathing of Darth Vader...
Check out the Obi-Wan Kenobi teaser trailer for yourself:
In addition to McGregor and Edgerton, the Obi-Wan Kenobi cast includes Moses Ingram, Bonnie Piesse, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Sung Kang, Simone Kessell, Benny Safdie and features the return of Hayden Christensen, as Darth Vader. The limited series is being directed by Deborah Chow.
Obi-Wan Kenobi season 1 will be six episodes — with one episode being released every week, starting May 25 — exclusively on Disney Plus.
Disney Plus has been the home for new Star Wars content for a while now. The streaming service has a bonafide hit with The Mandalorian, which has a third season on the way, along with the recent series, The Book of Boba Fett. In addition to Obi-Wan Kenobi, there are plenty more Star Wars originals coming down the line — including Andor, Ahsoka, A Droid Story, a new season of The Bad Batch.
To watch any and all of this Star Wars content you'll need to be a Disney Plus subscriber. Disney Plus is available as a standalone service, but US-based consumers can also bundle it with ESPN Plus and Hulu for a single monthly subscription fee of $13.99. In addition, Disney Plus now comes standard with Hulu with Live TV.
