The Force is everywhere and so, it seems are stories set in the Star Wars universe.
The latest searing story to join the ranks of The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett and a slew of movies is Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi, starring Ewan McGregor as the eponymous Jedi survivor who finds refuge, as we all know, on the dry, near-dead sands of Tatooine.
Taking place a decade after his Jedi apprentice has well and truly embraced the Dark Side, becoming Darth Vader, that scourge of the middle trilogy of The Skywalker Saga, Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi looks like it is going to wear its heart very much on its long night of the soul sleeve.
To bolster that palpable sense of regretful atmosphere, a teaser trailer has been released along with first images of the limited series which set the scene for what looks like an action-filled story filled with a great deal of scarred and tortured humanity.
Perfect …
Obi-Wan Kenobi starts streaming in limited series from May 25 on Disney +
