May 4 is a special date for Star Wars fans and this year Disney+ used the date (Star Wars Day) to release a trailer for its next Star Wars series. Star Wars: Obi Wan Kenobi sees the long-awaited return of Ewan McGregor as the titular character. McGregor last played the role - which was originated by Alec Guinness in the divisive prequel trilogy - in 2005’s Revenge of the Sith. Now he’s back and a new trailer has given us our first glimpse at Darth Vader’s return.
When we last caught up with McGregor’s Obi Wan, he famously took ‘the high ground’ against his padawan - Anakin Skywalker, played by Hayden Christensen. Impaling his partner with a lightsaber, Obi Wan watched on as Anakin seemingly burned to death. And so Vader was born… and he’s angry.
