And here's the little teaser trailer that was released on Disney+:

"There's a hunger for this character to come back. The fans have been waiting long enough."

Urm not really, given the fans saw all of TCW.

TCW was dogshit though.

We all know this is going to be Ewan McGregor fighting Robot-legs Maul.

McGregor recently released this piece of interview for Forbes "I think it’s no secret that Hayden Christensen comes back and we got to play scenes together again as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker and it was just fantastic to work with him again."

Put this way it sounds like Anakin will appear only in flashbacks, but not as Darth Vader

When was he not Darth Vader?

First trailer is out:

Looks good actually. Giving it a prequel vibe.

Not sure all the Inquisitors are translating well onto the big screen though. But then Cad Bane also looked a little off to me.

Description states he's broken at this point, so that could justify Inquisitors challenging him. But what's gonna ruin it is going from them onto Vader as the final boss.

the Inquisitors are doomed zero chance at all against Ben, lol

Those Inquisitors are laughably bad.... Holy shit. I don't know how you could **** up that bad. And it's not like they haven't done live action Pau'an well before...

First image of Vader:

Christenson says we are going to see a very powerful Vader.

Which we already know from canon he should be. But we also know from original movie canon that he shouldnt meet Obi-Wan if hes already The Master facepalm

stupid ass hole george lucas shoehorned haydn christiansen into darth vader in the most rushed out way and now disney are trying to make money from it by implying some kind of story that we can't see because it might offend some people.

Overall, I enjoyed the trailer.

The Inquisitors, though? Yikes. ermm

Time-line wise this is before Rebels correct?

So we know the Grand Inquisitor and Fifth Brother survive.

Grand inquisitor looks terrible but other than that the trailer looks great

Yeah about 4-5 years before the beginning of Rebels. Remember when Ben killed Maul that was supposed to be the Alec Guiness Ben.

Yeah it’s annoying because GI had a really cool look.

So now Obi-wan is ruined too.

Brilliant!

I don't think Kenobi will be ruined in this series at all. I actually think that Ewan will do a great job fleshing out the character even more.

That said, there are definitely still elements to this series that I'm not thrilled about, to say the least.

I think love or hate the prequels, most enjoyed the performances of Ewan, Ian and Chris Lee.

So can understand why they are making this, with Ewan still being around and about the right age.

With Hayden as well, they gotta have flashbacks to Clone Wars. Would be a wasted opportunity if they don't IMO.

The main issue is the Vader vs Obi-Wan thing.

Yeah, I mean the Inquisitors look pretty bad in that trailer, but my biggest reservation about this series is the hyped Kenobi/Vader battle. As mentioned, that would really just cheapen their final confrontation in ANH to the point where I'm not sure how the ANH dialogue could really be reconciled.

On a different note, this series is supposed to be set 10 years after RotS, and Kenobi looks like this:

...Yet by the time of ANH(which is set 9 years afterward), Kenobi looked like this:

I really hope some sort of canon explanation is given regarding why Kenobi aged so dramatically in that last decade. Cuz damn...
