What to expect from Obi-Wan Kenobi
Lucasfilm has not teased the rematch between Obi-Wan and Darth Vader in the trailer. In the trailer, Obi-Wan is seen checking on young Luke Skywalker, telling his Uncle Owen Lars played by Joel Edgerton he’ll need to be trained. To which Owen Lars responded, “Like you trained his father?” We also get a glimpse of Darth Vader played by Hayden Christensen suiting up and hear that iconic Star Wars breathing sound. So far it’s clear that Vader isn’t the only villain, there’s also Imperial Inquisitor Reva played by Moses Ingram.
