Time to say "hello there" to Obi-Wan Kenobi, as the trailer for the new series has finally dropped!

The Star Wars spin-off series, which begins streaming on 25 May on Disney+, tells the story of Obi-Wan Kenobi, played by Ewan McGregor, and his time on Tatooine as he watches over a 10-year-old Luke Skywalker.

The series starts 10 years after the events of the 2005 film Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith in which Kenobi is forced to come to terms with the fall of his best friend and Jedi apprentice Anakin Skywalker to the dark side of the force.

Hayden Christensen will once again take up his role as the corrupted Anakin who later becomes the villainous Darth Vader.

There will also be a new villain in the series - Inquisitor Reva, who is played by Moses Ingram.
