![]() Not a bad way to ring in Star Wars Day, eh? There’s an important Anakin/Obi-Wan story still left to tell.May the Fourth be with you! Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi kicks Stormtrooper ass and reckons with shameful mistakes of his own past in the latest trailer for his limited television series coming to Disney+ at the end of May. In short, there’s a reason Christensen is back in the role this time. We may also learn the true significance behind Vader’s words from Episode IV, “We meet again, at last. We may finally learn why Vader admitted to Luke in Return of the Jedi that he knew Obi-Wan believed he could be redeemed ( more on that theory here). The series may give us some critical new context into their relationship during the era of the Empire. It may seem ridiculous to suggest Obi-Wan and Vader had another duel in between Episodes III and IV, but there’s nothing in the Star Wars canon that explicitly rules out the possibility. Whatever happens, Obi-Wan may have to fake his own death in order to keep Vader from following him back to Tatooine. However, Anakin is wearing his Vader armor here, suggesting we’re actually going to see Obi-Wan have a rematch with his fallen apprentice. It could also be taking place in the lava fields of Mustafar. The second image is very reminiscent of the final duel between Obi-Wan and Anakin at the end of Episode III. The first Vader image shows him in what appears to be his castle on Mustafar, conferring with a hologram of a character who could be an Inquisitor, Emperor Palpatine or even Obi-Wan himself. We’ve known for a while that Hayden Christensen is returning to reprise the Darth Vader role, suggesting this iconic villain has a significant part to play in the Kenobi series. The teaser closes with a few tantalizing glimpses of the Dark Lord of the Sith himself. Given the desert environment, this shot could be set on Tatooine, but as we’ve seen, it’s far from the only desert planet in the galaxy. These are the airspeeders the Alliance later converts into Snowspeeders while hiding out on Hoth. This could be another level of Coruscant, but it could just as easily be set on any number of worlds in the Star Wars galaxy.įinally, this shot shows what might be a group of Rebels piloting a very familiar Star Wars ship. This Blade Runner-esque city shot is probably depicting Coruscant. Could these be the troops occupying Mon Cala? Given what happened to the cloning facility on Kamino in Star Wars: The Bad Batch, we can probably assume this isn’t Kamino. ![]() This shot looks to be of an underwater Imperial base. We catch glimpses of a number of different worlds in this footage, some familiar and some wholly unfamiliar. If you were assuming the Obi-Wan Kenobi series is mostly set on Tatooine, this new teaser should clear things up. Seventh Sister survives much longer, only meeting her end in battle against Maul in the Rebels Season 2 finale. Second Sister is killed by Vader himself in the climax of Fallen Order, which is set roughly 14 years before Episode IV. She could either be Second Sister, one of the main antagonists of Jedi Fallen Order, or Seventh Sister, the character voiced by Sarah Michelle Gellar in Rebels. ![]() Another possibility is that the Inquisitor is actually on the trail of the young Luke Skywalker, forcing Obi-Wan to come out of hiding and distract her from her real prey.Īs for which Inquisitor we’re seeing, it’s hard to say for sure without knowing exactly when the series is set. Only after she fails to kill Master Kenobi will Vader himself be forced to step in. It’s probably safe to assume this Inquisitor will be tasked with hunting Obi-Wan during the course of the series. This group of Dark Side adepts serve Darth Vader, helping him carry out his ongoing mission to hunt down and exterminate all surviving Jedi. The Inquisitorius were first introduced in the animated series Star Wars Rebels, and have since gone on to play key roles in Jedi Fallen Order and Marvel’s Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith series. ![]() One piece of art confirms the Sith Inquisitorius have a part to play in this story. While fans are eagerly awaiting the big showdown between Obi-Wan and Darth Vader in this series, this teaser makes it clear Obi-Wan will have to worry about more than just the Dark Lord of the Sith.
