Obi-Wan Kenobi Teaser Trailer Discussion: Old Friends and New Villains!
The first trailer for the new Disney+ limited series Obi-Wan Kenobi was released yesterday to much fanfare. The series is bringing Ewan McGregor back to Tatooine as the beloved Jedi Master, along with several other actors who have already played roles in the Star Wars galaxy: Hayden Christensen is returning as Anakin Skywalker, now Darth Vader. Joel Edgerton and Bonnie Piesse will return as Owen and Beru Lars, Luke Skywalker’s aunt and uncle.
The series will fill in some gaps between the last movie of the prequel series, Revenge of the Sith (2005), and the first of the original Star Wars trilogy, A New Hope (1977). This is the first series that will extensively explore that 19-year gap between the Clone Wars and Luke’s Jedi training, and while we know who makes it to A New Hope, we don’t know how it will all go down. This trailer offers a first look into Obi-Wan’s endeavors.
Darth Vader is going through some growing pains.
In the upcoming Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi—which takes place 10 years after 2005's Revenge of the Sith—the legendary villain plays a major role, but you might not fully recognize him.
"He isn't the New Hope Vader quite yet," director Deborah Chow told Entertainment Weekly. "So we are with the character sort of in the middle of this period. It is still Vader obviously, but it's a Vader that isn't quite as fully formed as A New Hope.
Chow is referencing the first Star Wars film—released in 1977 and now known as Star Wars: Episode IV–A New Hope—where Darth Vader was first introduced to legions of moviegoers.
Hayden Christensen plays Vader in the series, rejoining the Star Wars universe 17 years after last playing Anakin Skywalker in Revenge of the Sith. The titular Obi-Wan is played by Ewan McGregor, reprising his role from Episodes I-III.
The series will dive deeper into Vader than anybody has dared before, Chow promised.

"I really wanted to do something that was character-based and character-driven, because that is the benefit of the limited series, is that you have more time to sort of tell a real character story. And so for me, the starting place of character is you just start and you look at who has been important to him in his life," Chow said.
Still, the decision to include Vader in the series did not come easily, according to Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy.
"The debate around whether we should do that or not carried on for quite some time," she told EW. "Everybody within our creative team has strong opinions, and all of our fans have strong opinions. So when you realize that you're under that level of scrutiny, certainly a story point like that is going to be scrutinized at a very high level. We talked about it constantly."

USS Orville has a bit of swagger about her this year. Yes, she’s had some work done, but it’s more than just cosmetic. The Orville season 3 – subtitled New Horizons – launches on Hulu instead of network television, meaning the show is grander than ever, and competing in the big league. Alongside some breathtaking effects and scenes that will make you cry, the crucial difference is that the production team are no longer constrained by “regular” episode lengths.
Creator, writer, and Captain Ed Mercer himself, Seth MacFarlane, felt naming the season was appropriate. "It seemed that because the show was going to be making such an uptick in scope, and in many ways, going to feel like a reset, it felt like it wanted something special," MacFarlane tells SFX magazine in the new issue, featuring Ms. Marvel and The Orville on the cover. "You had a new opening title, a new set, new costumes, a new look, just a new aesthetic that really competes in the world of streaming shows."
But fear not: "The show is still the show, but with some new aspects to it," executive producer Brannon Braga says, pointing out that it’s not just a matter of the show having a new home. "We’re getting to a point in the third season where the kinds of stories we wanted to tell were much broader and more ambitious in scope than even the first two seasons. Seth was feeling constrained by it. The show features a newly revamped Orville, a new crew member on the bridge, and what we think are bigger, more spectacular stories, not just in terms of the visuals and the action, but the emotions and the emotional fireworks as well."

Another leaper enters the fray as Quantum Leap confronts some big questions from the original series.
Leaping through spacetime is not solely the domain of quantum physicists Ben Song (Raymond Lee) and Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula). In this week’s installment of Quantum Leap, episode five “Salvation or Bust,” an unknown leaper appears just as Ben and Addison (Caitlin Bassett) are celebrating their success at putting things right in Salvation, a diverse Old Western town built for outcasts circa 1879.
This acceleration of memory and brain waves implies that the audience, and Ben, will likely meet this other leaper again. The more they interact and push up against each other in conflict, the more likely we are to learn what Ben is doing and why. Ben’s improving amnesia will hasten the unveiling of the reasons behind his risky, unauthorized leap. The Quantum Leap project team needs full access to this truth in order to navigate Ben back to the place…and the people…that he calls home.
