The first-look trailer for Obi-Wan Kenobi<\/a> has finally arrived, and it\u2019s absolutely stuffed full of exciting details for fans. We\u2019ve already clocked the return of the Grand Inquisitor<\/a>, Joel Edgerton\u2019s Owen Lars, The Fifth Brother and<\/em> a baby Luke Skywalker, alongside new baddies like Moses Ingram\u2019s Jedi-hunter Reva and some exciting new planets and cities for Ewan McGregor\u2019s Jedi Master to explore.<\/p>\n But is it wrong that despite that, our favourite part of the whole trailer is the music? Eschewing the usual riff on the Force Theme, the Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer is instead scored with John Williams\u2019 Duel of the Fates, aka one of the best Star Wars compositions ever, last heard in 1999\u2019s Episode I: The Phantom Menace.<\/p>\n It\u2019s an appropriate music choice, given that the music accompanied a formative moment for Obi-Wan (the death of his mentor, Qui-Gon Jinn) but it also has us wondering: could the soundtrack be hinting at another character closely linked to that particular composition?<\/p> In other words, does the presence of Duel of the Fates in Obi-Wan Kenobi tease the return of his old sparring partner Darth Maul? In The Phantom Menace, it\u2019s Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon\u2019s duel with the Sith Lord that gives the song its name, and he\u2019s definitely as closely associated with the music as McGregor\u2019s Jedi is \u2013 more so, in some ways.<\/p>\n Of course, Maul ended that battle chopped in half. But subsequent animated stories in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels and live-action movie Solo<\/a> revealed the character\u2019s survival, and in those mediums Maul and Kenobi clashed a few more times. In fact, we saw their final battle on-screen, on Tatooine, when the older Kenobi finally defeated Maul forever during an episode of Star Wars Rebels and laid him to rest.<\/p>\n
