EW also provides exclusive first look photos at episodic images of McGregor as Kenobi, Joel Edgerton as Uncle Owen, and a fearsome new villain.
The last film saw Jedi Master Obi-Wan take refuge on the desolate planet of Tatooine, to hide from the Empire’s regime and to keep an eye on the infant Luke Skywalker.
Hayden Christensen is also set to reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, Obi-Wan’s former apprentice, who was last left beaten and burning in lava.
Based on the new trailer, it looks like Obi-Wan’s time on Tatooine between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope will be anything but peaceful, as the show sets the stage for the ultimate Star Wars rematch.
