There are few Disney Plus projects as heady as the upcoming Obi Wan Kenobi TV show, due to go far on the streaming service sometime next year. And thank you to Disney Plus 24-hour interval, we've got our first official look at what the show involves.

The teaser is merely a minute and sixteen seconds long, and features concept imagery plus director Deborah Chow and Obi Wan himself — AKA Ewan McGregor. And that'south enough to get fans hyped for the series.

The video is bachelor to watch over on Disney Plus, but hasn't been officially uploaded to sites like YouTube only still. The unofficial uploads that popped up in the concurrently accept already been blocked for copyright reasons.

Star Wars: Obi Wan Kenobi has been a long fourth dimension coming, and was originally rumored to be released as a feature film. However, Disney'south decision to dorsum-pedal on theatrical releases after Solo's commercial failure meant that didn't happen.

It wasn't until 2019, during the D23 event, that we got confirmation that Ewan McGregor was returning, and that Obi Wan was heading to Disney Plus.

But while we haven't yet seen any actual footage of the evidence, the concept art does reveal a few things about the upcoming serial. The first is that Darth Vader volition announced, and that both he and Obi Wan will have some sort of rematch. Too, it confirms in one case and for all that Hayden Christensen's involvement will meet him suit up as Vader, rather than simply playing Anakin in some sort of flashback.

The art also showcases at to the lowest degree ane member of the Inquisition, a decease squad of forcefulness sensitives and dark Jedi tasked with hunting down the remaining Jedi. On top of this, the inclusion of several dissimilar worlds, including one suspiciously Insubordinate-looking base, confirms that the activity won't be restricted to Tatooine.

My gauge? An inquisitor comes to Tatooine, which threatens the safe of young Luke Skywalker, and Obi Wan ends up on the run to lead the Empire away and proceed him safe. Obviously that would as well put him on Vader'due south radar, leading to their penultimate confrontation.

Honestly, I'm desperate to see more. Here's hoping we don't accept to wait too long for a proper trailer to get in.

Star Wars: Obi Wan Kenobi is, according to Disney Plus, set up 10 years after Revenge of the Sith (and 9 years before A New Promise). The series will consist of six episodes, and volition air on Disney Plus sometime in 2022.
