Obi-Wan Kenobi Mini Series (2022) Trailer Review

With it being Star Wars day yesterday, there was a guarantee of getting something to sink our teeth into and it is a new trailer for the upcoming Disney+ show Obi-Wan Kenobi. I never got around to reviewing the first teaser trailer so I will be going into this trailer in depth as there is plenty to unpack. 

The Inquisitors are on the hunt for Kenobi

The trailer starts off by showing the beginnings of the hunt for Kenobi. We see the Inquisitors led by the Grand Inquisitor going on the hunt for Obi-Wan. We have seen some of the Inquisitors in other forms of canon so it will be interesting to see how that matches with this and how they fare against the Jedi Master. 

Kenobi is looking over Luke  

Again, this was shown in the first trailer but it is clear that Obi-Wan has been keeping an eye on Luke Skywalker and how his life is going, Obviously, this links to when they meet in the original film but I am curious as to whether they will get a chance to meet in this show. 

Obi-Wan wants to train Luke

This leads on to the next scene, Where Obi-Wan makes it clear to Owen Lars that he wants to train Luke when the time is right. It is cool to see this as Luke is around the age Anakin was in The Phantom Menace, you would have to believe Kenobi would want to start the training before he actually did. This conversation makes it clear that his failure with Anakin is holding him back though. 

We will learn more about the Inquisitors 

There are quite a few shots of the Inquisitors in there base hunting for the Jedi. After watching Rebels it is clear the Inquisitors have different agendas and personalities, so hopefully that is addressed here and it will be nice to see these once fallen Jedi go after one of the most famous members of the order.  

4-Lom goes after Kenobi

This is just a little bit, mainly for myself but the trailer shows a younger 4-Lom go after Kenobi. We saw him as one of the bounty hunters Vader talks to in Empire Strikes Back, so to see him finally in action will be great to see. 

Obi-Wan leaves Tatooine 

This has been reported for a while, but this trailer fully confirms that Kenobi leaves Tatooine on another mission. I am personally happy with this, after The Book Of Boba Fett, I am kind of fed up with the planet and it will be nice seeing him in a different location. We also see him using a blaster, probably trying to hide his real Jedi powers, due to secrecy or shame. 

We see Vader assembled and ready for the showdown. 

Right at the end, we finally see Darth Vader being assembled. It does a really good job of showing the inhumanity left in him and how much he has changed since the last time he and Kenobi last met. The final shot, sets the showdown and it will be fascinating seeing this duel after all of this time. 

Overall

Overall, this trailer is fantastic and has me so hyped for this show. After all these years seeing this character get the justice he deserves will hopefully be one of the events of the year.
