The teaser trailer for Disney+’s Obi-Wan Kenobi, unveiled on Wednesday, offers the first look at Ewan McGregor’s hotly anticipated return to Tatooine. As Obi-Wan, McGregor is reprising his role from the infamous Star Wars prequel films.
Obi-Wan Kenobi is set 10 years after the devastating events of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, in which Obi-Wan’s mentee and closest friend, Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) goes bad and joins the dark side. The new trailer shows the exiled Jedi Master hiding out on the unforgiving desert planet of Tatooine, watching over a young Luke Skywalker.
But it doesn’t look like Obi-Wan will be able to stay hidden for long; he’s being pursued by a Force-sensitive Imperial Inquisitor played by Moses Ingram (The Queen’s Gambit). “Jedi cannot help what they are,” narrates a Sith leader. “Their compassion leaves a trail. The Jedi Code is like an itch. He cannot help it.”
