The very first video trailer released for Disney’s Next TV show “Obi-Wan Kenobi” lit a fire of excitement among Star Wars fans even sparking speculation of a surprise cameo from one of the most beloved saga characters.
The miniseries, which begins on May 25 on the Disney+ streaming service, sees Ewan McGregor return to the role of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi for the first time in 17 years.
the story take place between the events of the prequel “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith” (2005) and the first feature movie “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope” (1977).
Now that son friend and former student Anakin Skywalker turned black side and become the Sith Lord Darth Vader, Obi-Wan lives in isolation, secret observation over Anakin’s twins, Luke and Leia.
Empire forces are now trying to follow down remaining Jedi warriors and, most importantly, Obi-Wan – beyond that, the trailer reveals little more on the plot so far.
And yet it didn’t stop at eagle eyes fans to speculate on the return of Star Wars heroes and “stuck-up, half- smart and scruffy nerve breeder” Han Solo.
In one scene of the trailer (1 minute and 23 seconds into be precise) we briefly see what appears to be the blaster of Han Solo, the character played by Harrison Ford in five “Star Wars” films and Alden Ehrenreich in one.
Although young Ehrenreich may resume son roleDisney+ previously made heavy use of visual effects to allow Mark Hamill at perform a younger one version of Luke Skywalker.
This sparked speculation in industry media and discussions on forums of fans that Harrison Ford could return for a Han Solo cameo.
In addition to McGregor, Hayden Christensen returns as Darth Vader and Joel Edgerton as Luke’s Uncle Owen.
Besides Darth Vader, there are two new bad guys in “Obi-Wan Kenobi.” American actor Moses Ingram (“The Queen’s Gambit”) plays Reva, while Rupert Friend portrays the sinister Grand Inquisitor, who fans already know from animated TV series “Star Wars Rebels.”
“Obi-Wan Kenobi” is the third live-action series from the “Star Wars” universe after “The Mandalorian” and “The Book of Boba Fett.”
