We’re just under a month from the two episode premiere of Obi-Wan Kenobi, probably one of the most anticipated shows in Lucasfilm’s upcoming TV slate, and new details are dripping in like moisture on Tatooine. Like the vaporators, we’ve gathered all those tidbits together so you don’t have to hunt down all the droplets! So head below to hear about the first female composer for Star Wars live-action, Natalie Holt, find some new images from the show thanks to Total Film, some anecdotes from showrunner/director Deborah Chow and the cast (like cutting the Maul rumors in half), and more below!

Hello there, indeed! As May 25 approaches, the marketing for the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series begin to spill out, starting with Entertainment Weekly’s morning batch of stills and some scant details, followed by the first teaser trailer in the afternoon. It’s our first glimpse of Ewan McGregor in full Obi-Wan mode again (no, you’re fanning yourself!), weary and beaten by time and his mission, but avoiding and dealing with the Inquisitor threat seems to bring him some joy again, especially as he gets off Tatooine. There’s glimpses of Rupert Friend as the Grand Inquisitor, Sung Kang as the Fifth Brother Inquisitor, and lots of Moses Ingram’s Reva, a new Inquisitor I really want to know more about, plus even a glimpse of Joel Edgerton as Uncle Owen…and even a young Luke Skywalker! The plot’s under wraps but this first glimpse is gorgeous and intriguing enough you don’t really need to know more. Head below for stills from the trailer and the little information and images EW dropped. UPDATE 3/10: Now includes more from EW’s cover article, including the first look at Darth Vader.

It’s always good to temper expectations for reveals, no matter how consistent insiders are regarding upcoming content plus taking into consideration Lucasfilm’s past marketing efforts, so it shouldn’t have been too surprising the Star Wars content for Disney+ Day 2021 turned out to only be a sizzle reel for the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi show (which can still only be seen on Disney+ at the moment). It doesn’t mean this can’t be disappointing, especially since this reel was the one shown to investors a year ago and it leaked online Thursday afternoon, but it’s still got some exciting concept art images to drool theorize over until we get an official trailer/release date: Darth Vader looking ominous sitting on a lonely throne in his Mustafar castle; Vader and Obi-Wan locking sabers on what looks like Mustafar again; an underwater Imperial facility; and an image that looks suspiciously like it could contain the Second Sister from Jedi: Fallen Order. Otherwise, Fortnite looks to have its latest Star Wars crossover with Boba Fett/Fennec Shand, there was some new merchandise revealed (like the Lula doll from The Bad Batch), and a little documentary about Boba Fett (that doesn’t even mention the EU books of Legend-lore, interestingly enough, but has some neat BTS footage), but for now head below to check out the concept art images and tune back into the Manor for more…once they decide to release it, of course.
