Obi-Wan Kenobi has a brand new poster of the titular Jedi today. Of course, it is May 4th, so the Star Wars content is flowing today. Fans got a fresh trailer for the series as well. This clip showed off Ewan McGregor's fighting prowess as Obi-Wan is on the run from Inquisitors in a number of places. While everyone is concerned about the elder Jedi, the presence of Luke Skywalker in the trailer has fans cheering as well.
Writer Joby Harold told Entertainment Weekly about the vibes heading in."It takes place 10 years after Revenge of the Sith, in a time of darkness in the galaxy," Harold explained."The Empire is in the ascendancy. And all the horrors that come with the Empire are being made manifest throughout the galaxy. And the Jedi Order as we know them are being all but wiped out. So everything that was in the prequels has crumbled.
Order 66 has done a number on the Jedi Order around the Galaxy. However, Obi-Wan Kenobi is still out there on the run and picking up the pieces of the world that was. Revenge of the Sith might be in the past, but he's still carrying that pain around. "Those surviving Jedi, those that do survive, are on the run and they're in hiding. And Vader and his Inquisitors are chasing them to the end of the galaxy," the writer continued."Within that hopeless fatalistic world, we find possibly the most famous of all our surviving Jedi in hiding struggling with that faith that defines the Jedi, and wanting to hold onto it and hoping to regain that faith within that sort of hopeless world.
