Disney Plus has dropped a brand new Obi-Wan Kenobi<\/a> trailer to celebrate Star Wars Day, giving us a closer look at Ewan McGregor\u2019s return to arguably his most iconic role.<\/p>\n

Set between the events of Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, the series will delve into the exiled Jedi\u2019s years in hiding, before he started young Luke Skywalker down the path towards becoming a Jedi.<\/p>\n

Since acquiring the Star Wars brand from George Lucas, Disney has been a big supporter of Star Wars Day<\/a>, which is held annually on the date of 4th May (as in, \u2018May the 4th be with you\u2019).<\/p>\n

Therefore, it was a no-brainer to release the final Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer today, which should tide fans over until the show\u2019s double-bill launch at the end of the month on Disney Plus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can watch the latest Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer below.<\/p>\n\n<p>As previously announced, Obi-Wan Kenobi reunites McGregor with his prequel trilogy co-star Hayden Christensen, who plays fallen Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, now known by the name Darth Vader.<\/p> <p>Vader features only sparingly in these fresh clips, but his shadow looms large as the Empire\u2019s ruthless Inquisitor Reva (Moses Ingram, <a href=\""https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/drama\/the-queens-gambit-season-two-release-date-netflix\/"\" rel=\""noopener"\">The Queen\u2019s Gambit<\/a>) warns Obi-Wan in the final moments: \u201cYou can\u2019t escape him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We then see footage of Vader\u2019s part-cyborg body being assembled, before his trademark breathing starts up, which seems to promise another duel between the Sith Lord and his former master.<\/p>\n<p>Indira Varma (<a href=\""https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/fantasy\/carnival-row-will-there-be-a-season-2-on-amazon\/"\" rel=\""noopener"\">Carnival Row<\/a>), Rupert Friend (Homeland) and Sung Kang (<a href=\""https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/movies\/fast-and-furious-10-release-date\/"\" rel=\""noopener"\">Fast & Furious<\/a>) also star, while Joel Edgerton and Bonnie Piesse reprise their Attack of the Clones roles of Owen and Beru Lars.<\/p>\n<p>The six-part miniseries is directed by Deborah Chow, who is a familiar name to Star Wars fans owing to her previous work on <a href=\""https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/the-mandalorian-season-3-release-date-disney-plus\/"\" rel=\""noopener"\">The Mandalorian<\/a>, with other screen credits including Jessica Jones, <a href=\""https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/lost-in-space-season-3-release-date-episodes\/"\" rel=\""noopener"\">Lost in Space<\/a> and <a href=\""https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/drama\/better-call-saul-season-6-release-date\/"\" rel=\""noopener"\">Better Call Saul<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Obi-Wan Kenobi premieres on Disney Plus on Friday 27th May 2022.
