Obi-Wan Kenobi offers mernostalgia from a galaxy far, far away.
Star Warsthe films stand still. Among other things, because the latest, 275 million dollars (!) Expensive The Rise of Skywalker from 2019, received medium reception. While Solo: A Star Wars Storydespite good reviews, became the franchise’s biggest commercial flop.
Men Star Warsseries live their best lives. Well, The Book of Boba Fett is strictly medium, with an awkward Temuera Morrison in the lead role. (However, the series is saved when it is almost created along the way The Mandalorian feat. Star Wars‘biggest star ever; Grogu alias Baby Yoda.)
Next out of Disney + is Ewan McGregor and his Obi-Wan Kenobiwhich has finally got its first trailer.
The action is currently state secret. Lucasfilm will say no more than that it will take place a decade later Star Wars – Revenge of the Sith (2005), in which Obi-Wan’s bestie Anakin Skywalker became the evil Sith Lord Darth Vader.
The story begins with Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi taking care of Luke Skywalker on the planet Tatooine. Then end up as a wild adventure.
– The match is over… We lost, is the first thing we hear in the teaser.
Then, as promised, it seems to get wild. And magnificent! Among other things, thanks to horrible The Grand Inquisitor alias Pau’an; a Jedi Knight who goes over to the dark side.
