Obi-Wan Kenobi

There's plenty to discuss in the first Obi-Wan Kenobi teaser trailer – we've tried to find all the hidden references to the direction of the show.

After all, “Fates” plays during Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan's duel against Darth Maul (who, incidentally, returns in Star Wars Rebels), while “Heroes” is the soundtrack to Obi-Wan having the high ground against Anakin. While we'd be ecstatic to see a Kenobi/Maul/Vader mash-up, THR quoted various sources stating that either Maul was written out of the final script, or was never meant to appear at all. As soon as John Williams' certified banger “Duel of the Fates” starts in all its choral glory, you know fans are in for a treat. There's no doubt that this is Luke Skywalker, with Obi-Wan's vow to protect him – and Owen's order that Luke never be trained in the Force – making the Jedi resort to a nomadic, solitary life (besides his eopie).

Watch the official “Obi-Wan Kenobi” trailer here, and scroll down the list below for the 11 biggest takeaways from the first footage. “Star Wars” fans have been waiting nearly 17 years for Ewan McGregor to return to the franchise as Obi-Wan Kenobi, and that moment is just around the corner thanks to the eponymous Disney Plus series. The show doesn’t premiere until May 25, but Disney has debuted the first trailer for the series and it’s full of tantalizing clues and Easter eggs.

Disney just released the first trailer for its 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Star Wars miniseries, and it could be hiding a huge surprise in plain sight.

Solo takes place sometimes between 13 and 10 BBY. Meanwhile, we know that Kenobi is set 10 years after Revenge of the Sith (which took place in 19 BBY), making this new show set in the year 9 BBY. In other words, Kenobi takes place almost immediately after Solo in the Star Wars timeline. First, remember that history in this galaxy is measured as Before and After the Battle of Yavin (BBY and ABY), essentially making A New Hope take place in year 0 of this franchise. Near the end of the Obi-Wan trailer, we see Inquisitor Reva (a brand new villain) facing against a figure cloaked in the shadows of a dark alley.

Is Ahsoka in 'Obi-Wan Kenobi'? The first official trailer for the Star Wars show may contain a clue about Anakin Skywalker's snippy Padawan trainee.

Obi-Wan Kenobi takes place 10 years after the Clone Wars, meaning that if Ahsoka shows up, we would be meeting a version of the character we’ve never seen before. There’s a lot to unpack in the new Kenobi teaser, from the introduction of Inquisitors in live-action to the apparent hint of a Han Solo cameo. In the Star Wars animated shows, Ahsoka’s character is often associated with Morai, a green owl.
