Obi-Wan Kenobi Teaser, My Thoughts

After the events of Revenge of the Sith, the Star Wars galaxy was not in the best of places. The Galactic Empire reached its vile tentacles all over, and heroes seemed to be in short supply. However, one past hero of the Clone Wars is still out there: Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Obi-Wan Kenobi is an upcoming mini-series set a decade after Revenge of the Sith. It had started out as a spin-off film written by Iranian screenwriter Hossein Amini but was reworked by Amini into its current form after the box-office failure of Solo: A Star Wars Story. A shame, as I liked that film. This will feature the return of Ewan McGregor as the titular character as he embarks on an important mission. Let's look at the trailer!


We're opening with a dessert. Mmm, dessert...


No wait, we're opening on a desert. A desert. My bad. Anakin would hate this. After all, sand is coarse and irritating. And it gets everywhere.


OH MY GOD, THANOS DUSTED THE LUCASFILM LOGO!

Aww, Ben watching over Luke.


"The key to hunting Jedi...is patience. Patience...and a lot of booze. Hunting Jedi will drive you to drink."

Obi-Wan looks so bored on that ride.

"Jedi love helping people. They get their rocks off by helping people! So, if you see someone helping people, kill them. They might be a Jedi. I am very smart."


Yeah, the Empire are not playing around here.

I get the feeling that lady is going to be one of, if not the main protsgonist.

Jumpin' buildings, greeting folks, Jedin' around the world!

"Grievous ain't the only one who can do that helicopter lightsaber trick!"

SHE'S PACKING A LIGHTSABER!

And a lot of action here. Makes sense, this is a Star Wars adventure.

Well, count me in to see this. I've been enjoying the Star Wars stuff that has been coming out. The Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett, etc. This looks like it'll be another winner to me. I am excited to see McGregor portray an older, more cynical Obi-Wan, bridging his younger self and Alec Guinness's elderly Obi-Wan from the first Star Wars film. I cannot wait for this.
