But he is very much a part of the show emotionally for Obi-Wan, and possibly beyond that as well." "His shadow is cast across so much of what we do," series writer Joby Harold teases. Cue some labored mechanical breathing noises because the Dark Lord of the Sith himself is back, and we've got your exclusive first look at the return of Darth Vader.

Hayden Christensen's Darth Vader appeared in a first look at the Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ show.

Even so, that silhouette alone is enough to induce a sense of fear only seen in a few villains, and as long as he sees ample screen time, Vader's wrath will be felt. But he is very much a part of the show emotionally for Obi-Wan, and possibly beyond that as well.” Obi-Wan Kenobi is all the rage for Star Wars fans as the wait continues for the franchise's second live-action property of the year.

“Obi-Wan Kenobi” series writer Joby Harold said: “His shadow is cast across so much of what we do. The first image — published exclusively by Entertainment Weekly — shows Vader emerging from what appears to be his meditation chamber. Darth Vader will return in ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi.’

Why it's Luke and Obi-Wan and our favorite Uncle Owen. They're all here!

And they said this would be different from the prequels. Plenty is going on in the Obi-Wan trailer and outside it. Aside from McGregor and, of course, Egerton, other prequel mainstays are returning for the series, including John Williams’ “Duel Of The Fates” and “Battle Of The Heroes” and Hayden Christensen’s Darth Vader breath.

The Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer packs a punch! It also features a few new characters, easter eggs, and some hints as to where this story is going...

While he doesn’t actually appear in the trailer, we know he’s coming. In an interview with EW, Obi-Wan Kenobi writer Joby Harold described new planet Daiyu as “sort of having a Hong Kong feel to it…It’s got a graffiti-ridden nightlife, and is kind of edgy. Some fans are theorizing the shot above is of a Republic clone trooper. At one point in the trailer, we see what looks like two escape pods zooming through space. He originally appeared in Rebels, opposite the Seventh Sister, as one of the Inquisitors tasked with killing Kanan Jarrus, a former Jedi turned rebel agent. It’s possible that a run-in with these Jedi hunters is what prompts Obi-Wan to leave Tatooine for the neon-drenched city streets of the planet Daiyu, which will talk more about in a second. We originally thought this was the Seventh Sister in live action, but the tendrils on her head suggest she’s actually a Tholothian character. The Grand Inquisitor, one of the most popular villains of the Disney era, is finally making his live-action Star Wars debut, played by Rupert Friend in very heavy makeup. When Revenge of the Sith closed the book on the Prequel Trilogy in 2005, it seemed like the actor’s turn as the Jedi Master was over. But what’s hidden can’t stay hidden for long, as we see in the first trailer, which sees the old hero jumping into the action when an evil faction of Jedi hunters comes to town. Even at that age, Luke’s dream is to become a pilot, and we see him pretending to fly a ship through space. When not secretly serving as Luke’s Jedi bodyguard, he rides his eopie (a species first introduced in The Phantom Menace) around the desert.

Entertainment Weekly has released first-look photos of the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series, available to stream on Disney Plus.

The TV show is available to stream on Disney Plus from May 25, but if that cant come quickly enough we have plenty of Star Wars content to whet your appetite. It's possible some of the plot will feature around Obi-Wan looking over Luke Skywalker while on the planet of Tatooine, but that's what we can gather from the trailer.

“Their compassion leaves a trail,” he adds, hinting at the serious nature of this dangerous game ahead. What follows is a game of cat and mouse as Obi-Wan and his fellow Jedi evade capture.

The first trailer for Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney Plus teases a rematch between its titular character and his friend-turned-nemesis, Darth Vader.

Obi-Wan Kenobi will not only face Darth Vader in the new Star Wars series, but a whole new Inquisitor!

It’s just got a different lane and a different feeling.” It seems likely the show will explore Reva’s past as she chases Kenobi around the galaxy, including to a new planet called Daiyu, which writer Joby Harold described to EW as “sort of having a Hong Kong feel to it…It’s got a graffiti-ridden nightlife, and is kind of edgy. While we don’t know much more about Ingram’s character just yet — besides the fact that she will don some very cool armor while hunting down Jedi — the Inquisitorius has been around since the old Legends continuity, although they largely served a different purpose then.

The trailer is light on details, but as Obi-Wan heads off-world, Sith Inquisitors — the Empire’s Force-sensitive Jedi hunters who also fight with lightsabers — are on his tail, and action ensues. The trailer includes a few glimpses of Obi-Wan’s life on Tatooine, but it’s more focused on his new missions as the protector of the Skywalker children. Obi-Wan Kenobi may have spent quite a few years in the deserts of Tatooine, but it turns out that looking after baby Luke isn’t the only thing he did between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. In the first trailer for Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ewan McGregor’s Jedi master watches over young Luke Skywalker, while combating the empire however he can.

'Obi-Wan Kenobi' may be months away, but Disney is expected to release the first full trailer for the Disney+ Star Wars very soon.

Oh, and Entertainment Weekly just revealed a big Obi-Wan Kenobi feature with new images and interviews from the show. It’s not exactly a confirmation that the Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer is coming, but for Star Wars fans, those two words speak volumes. Combined with the hint from Twitter, it certainly seems like something is coming soon.

Is Ahsoka in 'Obi-Wan Kenobi'? The first official trailer for the Star Wars show may contain a clue about Anakin Skywalker's snippy Padawan trainee.

Obi-Wan Kenobi takes place 10 years after the Clone Wars, meaning that if Ahsoka shows up, we would be meeting a version of the character we’ve never seen before. There’s a lot to unpack in the new Kenobi teaser, from the introduction of Inquisitors in live-action to the apparent hint of a Han Solo cameo. In the Star Wars animated shows, Ahsoka’s character is often associated with Morai, a green owl.

Disney Plus reveals a new teaser for its upcoming "Obi-Wan Kenobi" series starring Ewan McGregor.

"Star Wars" fans worldwide must have sensed a ripple in the Force on Wednesday as Disney Plus revealed a new teaser trailer for its six episode "Obi-Wan Kenobi" live-action series and it’s packed with geeky sci-fi goodness. "Obi-Wan Kenobi" arrives on Disney Plus beginning on May 25. "Obi-Wan Kenobi" follows the Jedi master's time in exile keeping a watchful eye on young Luke Skywalker on the desert planet of Tatooine while evading Jedi hunters a decade after the purging events of Order 66 depicted in 2005's "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith." If you need a refresher, check out our guide to the Star Wars movies in order to catch up.

Ewan McGregor is returning to the "Star Wars" universe in a new Disney+ series. "Obi-Wan Kenobi" will premiere on the streaming platform in late May.

But "Obi-Wan Kenobi" marks the first time fans will have a chance to see them appear in a live-action project. Another moment from the trailer reveals the return of Luke's uncle, Owen Lars, played by Joel Edgerton, who also took on the role in "Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones," as well as "Revenge of the Sith." An older version of Uncle Owen appeared in "Star Wars IV: A New Hope." They first appeared in the animated series "Star Wars Rebels" and have since popped up in comic books and video games.

The official teaser trailer for the limited series Obi-Wan Kenobi is now out and I'd like to share my findings and thoughts with you!

A weird sight but probably not the last one of this kind that we’ll get to see. Just like the Sith bring chaos to everywhere they go, the Jedi bring hope and it becomes a way for their enemies to track them. It is obvious their need to find Obi-Wan is immense, we’ve already watched 3 Inquisitors and the Grand Inquisitor deployed on the same planet. Daiyu is a new planet for the series. A civilian has been hung; Reva is intimidating the people in the area. We all know Luke and Obi-Wan survive this, but I predict that we’ll get to see an even darker side of Darth Vader and this excites me and frightens me at the same time. In the next scene, a train is transporting a group of people, including Obi-Wan. My best guess is that they’re all workers coming back from a workday. A previously released concept art included an inside look of a structure that is way too similar to be a coincidence. The one and only “Duel of the Fates” returns to delight us. In the first 30 seconds, “Battle of the Heroes” can be heard in the background, it’s a different arrangement but it can’t be mistaken. Hopefully, it is a proper ending chapter for one of the most beloved characters in Star Wars. After months of waiting, we finally got to see a sneak peek of what the Kenobi series is all about.

Ewan McGregor will return as the exiled hero on May 25, and the first trailer dropped Wednesday.

"Hello there." That's what Star Wars fans were saying to the first look of Disney+'s upcoming "Obi-Wan Kenobi," which the company premiered on Wednesday.

The first trailer for Obi-Wan Kenobi has arrived with new locations and old foes. Obi-Wan Kenobi premieres on Disney+ on May 25th.

In the newly released Entertainment Weekly issue, it was revealed that Moses Ingram will portray a force-sensitive Inquisitor named Reva who is tracking down Obi-Wan Kenobi. The series is also set to introduce a new slate of characters, though a few could theoretically be portraying characters previously seen in the Star Wars canon, though nothing is confirmed yet. And based on the trailer, she's getting ready to unleash a truly incredible series. Expectations are high that we might also get a glimpse of the duo back before Anakin's fall when they were allies working alongside each other in the Jedi Order.

Darth Reva? — There isn’t much we know about Inquisitor Reva yet, but the fact that she’s force-sensitive and working for the Empire is telling of her character.

They’re all fallen Jedi who’ve succumbed to the Dark Side and, while not Sith Lords, they do have some military authority.

This version is a brute, but one with a thoughtful insight into his prey. That's where the Grand Inquisitor comes in. “The fight is done.

Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen discuss their 17-year journey back to 'Star Wars', and what to expect when the dynamic duo reunites on 'Obi-Wan Kenobi.

"It was definitely conceived as a limited series, and it is one big story with a beginning, middle, and end," says Chow. "The approach has always been that it is one full story." "It was so important to have Hayden be a part of this project because he is such a massive part of that character," says Harold. "It was a priority to all of us that we did it with as much care as possible, so as to honor one of the greatest villains and antagonists in the history of entertainment." "Part of what made the series feel very special is that we were bringing back not only Ewan and Hayden, but people like Joel and Bonnie from 20 years ago and gettingt o reunite as the same characters." The Jedi order are being all but wiped out, and those Jedi that have survived are on the run and they're in hiding." But while everyone on set was marveling in his direction, the man behind the mask was moved by what he saw through his tinted helmet lenses: "The first time that I saw Ewan as Obi-Wan again, that was a very special moment for me, and one that I'll remember for a very, very long time." (And with a badass outfit: "Putting on a cape was a dream I didn't know I had. As the years moved on from the prequels, though, McGregor noticed a sense of balance coming to the Force. And the balance was coming from younglings… "And it's tricky when you're starting with a character in the state that Obi-Wan would be in coming off of Revenge of the Sith. That's a pretty bleak period of time. "Now I meet the people who we made those films for, who were the kids of the time," says McGregor. "And our Star Wars films are their Star Wars films. Critics and fans alike pounced on everything from the comic relief of Jar Jar Binks to clunky dialogue like "No need to report that to him until we have something to report." "I came round the set, and it was just this ring of people standing around." The warmth of your greeting left such a lasting impression and meant a lot."

The first look trailer for the Obi-Wan Kenobi series unveils a number of surprises (and characters) that Star Wars fans will appreciate. The setting also offers a look at the rise of the Empire, which precedes the events of A New Hope. But whether we see him as Anakin in flashbacks or as Darth Vader himself, remains to be seen.

Joel Edgerton, who plays Uncle Owen in Obi-Wan Kenobi, reacts to the Disney+ series' first trailer with a line from 1977's Star Wars: A New Hope.

In the original Star Wars film, Luke tells his uncle how R2-D2 claims to belong to Obi-Wan Kenobi, wondering if the droid means “Old Ben (Alec Guinness).” Owen replies by saying “that wizard’s just a crazy old man. Hyping his role in the series, the 47-year-old actor quoted a line spoken by the original Owen Lars’ (Phil Brown) in A New Hope. He captioned his post, "That wizard's just a crazy old man."
