“Stay Hidden” – New Trailer For Disney Plus Series Shows Exiled Obi-Wan Kenobi
If, unlike Anakin, you do like sand, Disney+ has a new show for you.
Disney and Lucasfilm dropped a trailer for its upcoming limited series Obi Wan Kenobi, starring Ewan McGregor reprising his role from the Star Wars prequels, and it looks like a lot of it will be set on Tatooine, where exiled Obi-Wan is keeping tabs on young Luke Skywalker.
That isn’t the only setting though; the trailer shows scenes of a chase in outer space and something that looks like an alien version of Tokyo, meaning Obi-Wan is compelled to leave his hiding place to protect Luke.
The show is set a decade after the events from Revenge Of The Sith, with a young Darth Vader in power. “The fight is done,” says Obi in a voice-over. “We lost. Stay hidden.” His words are accompanied with footage of Obi-Wan traveling around Tatooine in on an Eopie, observing a young Luke Skywalker from afar.
Another voice makes it clear that Jedi are to be hunted, as per Order 66 from the prequel series, by looking for their weaknesses. “Their compassion leaves a trail,” the voice says. “The Jedi code is like an itch. They cannot help it.”
In the trailer, Joel Edgerton also appears in his role as young Uncle Owen, and it shows the first look at the villain of the series, a relentless Inquisitor named Reva (played by The Queen Gambit‘s Moses Ingram). Hayden Christensen does not appear in the trailer, however he does play Vader in the show. Deborah Chow, who directed The Mandalorian, returns to helm the series.
The six-episode series premieres May 25th.
