Star Wars has some of the most recognisable sounds in all of geekdom. The swish of the lightsabre, the beeping of R2 D2 and of course, the unmistakable laboured breathing of Darth Vader. Well, prepare to hear that sound again in the brand new trailer for Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi…
Obi-Wan Kenobi begins ten years after the dramatic events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith where Obi-Wan Kenobi faced his greatest defeat—the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, who turned to the dark side as evil Sith Lord Darth Vader.
Take a closer look at the new trailer in our gallery of stills below…
Directed by Deborah Chow (The Mandalorian), Obi-Wan Kenobi stars Ewan McGregor (Birds of Prey) as Obi-Wan and Hayden Christensen (Jumper) as Darth Vader, alongside Moses Ingram (The Tragedy of Macbeth), Joel Edgerton (The Green Knight), Kumail Nanjiani (Eternals), Indira Varma (Carnival Row), Rupert Friend (Strange Angel), O’Shea Jackson Jr (Godzilla: King of the Monsters), Sung Kang (Lisey’s Story), Simone Kessell (The Crossing) and Benny Safdie (Licorice Pizza).
Obi-Wan Kenobi will be released on 27 May on Disney+. Find out everything we know about the series here.
