Obi-Wan is on the run in the official trailer that Disney+ has released for its upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi Star Wars drama series that will become available from 27 May.
Ewan McGregor is reprising his role, now as a hunted Jedi, and reunites with Hayden Christensen who is now Darth Vader in the 6-episode series which will see episodes released weekly, premiering with a double episode on 27 May.
Obi-Wan Kenobi is set 10 years after the events of 2005's Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, after which Emperor Palpatine ordered Stormtroopers to kill off most of the Jedi across the galaxy with Order 66.
Obi-Wan Kenobi escaped with Luke Skywalker and Leia, and is keeping a watchful eye over a very young Luke on the planet of Tatooine as the Galactic Empire hunts down the remaining Jedi.
In the new series, Disney+ viewers will see the Grand Inquisitor (Rupert Friend) and Inquisitor Reva (Moses Ingram) chase after Obi-Wan, while Obi-Wan has a more than frosty relationship with Luke's adoptive father, Uncle Owen Lars (Joel Edgerton).
