Obi Wan Kenobi - Disney+ (may contain spoilers)

Should be noted that that's not a trailer. Youtube channels like that just edit together already released clips, interviews and concept art (and often just fanmade art like the thumbnail) with some music behind them and call them trailers as clickbait.

Yeah it looks official. While not a trailer as such it's more a teaser. No new footage. Just concept art and rehearsal footage like the lightsabre training.

Does this mean it'll feature Luke as a precocious little brat like Anakin in TPM?

At least the show has a reason for why it needs to set on Tatooine.

The ironic thing is that rumours I have read have a Obi-Wan off the planet - the one character who is supposed to be there all the time.

I really wish Lucas had not put Jabba on Tatooine in RotJ and wish he not done the same Anakin in TPM.

Anakin’s slave life could have been set on a new planet and the Prequels could have ended with Owen & Beru leaving that world after Kenobi delivers the baby.

Also, Owen & Beru should have appeared in an episode or arc of TCW that would explain Yoda and Kenobi trusted them to raise with one of the children.

I know there was episodes that I didn’t enjoy as much as others but I don’t remember any episodes that I thought of as fillers.

there was definitely missed opportunities (something which plagues every Star Wars project and I can never understand how the powers that be don’t see it) - for example there could have been more arcs devoted to other Jedi and more Clone-centric ones like Umbara (which is possibly the best arc there was) - but Owen & Beru are definitely among the top missed opportunities.

Owen in ANH comes across as having a history with both Anakin’s dark side and with Kenobi and we don’t see that in Episode II. How much he wants to keep Luke from it all in ANH isn’t just the result of being told a story by Kenobi. He has experienced something.

In Episode II, he should have gone with Anakin on the search and seen first had what a Jedi is capable of when Anakin loses it at the camp. Then an encounter with Kenobi in TCW. With the chance missed in AotC, the Lars being in TCW was even more necessary.

Looks pretty good. Using this series as a way to look into the Jedi hunts. Also not restricted to the desert which is good.

Damn.. why do I associate tatooine towns with Vespa Gang now!?! 😕

Aside from that, this looks promising. Felt like shoutout to Star Wars Rebels animated series with the Inquisitors.

Doesn't hurt to throw in Duel of the Fates.

Still Deborah Chow listed as the Director and she did fine with her Mandalorian episode.

Can't say much about the listed writers Joby Harold, Hannah Friedman, Hossein Amini. Just that they don't have an awful lot of previous shows to guage off.

That last writer though.. George Lucas (4 episodes, 2022) he sounds like he might have a notion or two about Star Wars 🙂

the trailer looks damn good but well......hope this is nothing near Book of Boba ffs lol

I'm buzzing for this. Cannot wait.

The period between ROTS and ANH is something I've always wanted to see examined. I think this should be good

It's the Grand Inquisitor, he's the white alien you see later with the red marking on his face. Leads the imperial inquisition which is a load of dark side users, some former Jedi like him and a bunch of captured Jedi children and later those who would have been recruited by the jedi.

They've twirling double bladed lightsabres (and stupidly can fly with them)
