The Jedi Master is back in a world which has dark forces around every corner.
The very first 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' trailer dropped last night, gifting 'Star Wars' fans a glimpse of what to expect from the upcoming sci-fi series.
The eagerly-anticipated series will see Ewan McGregor reprise his role as the fan-favourite character, picking up his storyline 10 years after the events of 'Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith', where he faced his greatest defeat (when Anakin decided to fully embrace his dark side and become one of the greatest villains in pop culture).
Anakin Skywalker, AKA Darth Vadar (played by Hayden Christensen), will also appear in 'Obi-Wan Kenobi', however, he fails to make an appearance in the teaser trailer below.
Who does make an appearance, however, is another antagonist who Kenobi will be up against - an adversary named Reva. The brand new Inquisitor to the 'Star Wars' universe is played by Moses Ingram (who played Jolene in 'The Queen's Gambit').
According to an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Ingram confirmed that she'll be working closely with Darth Vadar: "They share a common dark-side goal. They’re on the same team."
Fans will also spot Rupert Friend ('Homeland') in the trailer, playing the double-bladed lightsaber-wielding (and pretty terrifying-looking) role of The Grand Inquisitor. The character previously appeared in the 'Rebels' animated series.
Rounding out the cast of the season are Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Sung Kang, Simone Kessell and Benny Safdie. 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' is directed by Deborah Chow and executive-produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Michelle Rejwan, Deborah Chow, Ewan McGregor and Joby Harold.
Here's the full 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' trailer.
The first of six episodes of 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' begins on Disney+ on May 25.
