The upcoming release of the Obi-Wan Kenobi<\/a> series on Disney Plus is already firmly on the radar of Star Wars fans \u2013 and Disney has now teased some new plot information for the six-parter thanks to a short synopsis.<\/p>\n The series is set to follow the title character a decade after the events of Revenge of the Sith, with Ewan McGregor reprising his role as the Jedi Master and Hayden Christensen also in line for a return as Anakin Skywalker\/Darth Vader.<\/p>\n The new synopsis reads: \u201cDuring the reign of the Galactic Empire, former Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi embarks on a crucial mission. Kenobi must confront allies turned enemies and face the wrath of the Empire.\u201d<\/p> Admittedly, that\u2019s still not a whole lot to go on, but it\u2019s understandable that the show bosses would want to keep more concrete details under wraps until the show launches in May.<\/p>\n The new synopsis comes after the first teaser trailer for the series was released earlier in March.<\/p>\n The short clip opens with a dejected Obi-Wan declaring that \u201cthe fight is done, we lost\u201d and shows him living as a recluse while guarding a ten-year-old Luke Skywalker (played by relative newcomer Grant Feely).<\/p>\n It also includes a glimpse of the mysterious new villain Reva, played by Moses Ingram \u2013 a fearsome Force-sensitive Inquisitor is determined to wipe out all and any Jedi in the galaxy.<\/p>\n Earlier, McGregor has explained to Entertainment Weekly, \u201cWe find Obi-Wan at the beginning of our story rather broken, and faithless, and beaten, somewhat given up.\u201d<\/p>\n And in a separate interview with Men\u2019s Journal<\/a> he revealed, \u201cHis arc will be quite interesting, I think, dealing with that, the fact that all the Jedi were slaughtered with the end of [Revenge of the Sith]. It\u2019s quite something to get over.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong>\u00a0Who is the Grand Inquisitor in Obi-Wan Kenobi?<\/a><\/p>\n Obi-Wan Kenobi comes to Disney Plus on 25th May.\u00a0<\/strong>Sign up to Disney+ for \u00a37.99 a month or \u00a379.90 a year<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n For more news, interviews and features, check out our dedicated\u00a0Sci-Fi<\/a>\u00a0hub or find something to watch tonight with our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0to get each issue delivered to your door.
