Obi-Wan Kenobi, starting May 27 on Disney+, follows Ewan McGregor's legendary Jedi Master 10 years after the events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. The ...

As seen in the new trailer, the hunt is on for the Jedi — and Obi-Wan in particular. The official trailer for Obi-Wan Kenobi has arrived in celebration of May the 4th, and it’s filled with new imagery and details from the upcoming limited series. Stormtroopers stalk the streets, and the Empire’s Jedi-hunting Inquisitors lead the charge. Obi-Wan Kenobi, starting May 27 on Disney+, follows Ewan McGregor’s legendary Jedi Master 10 years after the events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. The Empire reigns and the few surviving Jedi are in hiding, with Kenobi living in secret on Tatooine and watching over Luke Skywalker from afar. These are the dark times, indeed. While Obi-Wan delivered a newborn Luke Skywalker to Owen Lars, the Tatooine moisture farmer — and stepbrother of Anakin Skywalker — seems to want nothing more to do with Kenobi. It’s a sentiment that draws a straight line to his concerns in Star Wars: A New Hope.

To celebrate Star Wars Day, some current StarWars.com writers reflect on their favorite moments as Star Wars fans.

Several years later, I attended my first red carpet event: the Solo: A Star Wars Story world-premiere in Hollywood, California. And that C-3PO action figure was there with me, safely tucked into my coat pocket, to commemorate my first step into that larger world. After so many missed opportunities, I finally got to see Star Wars for the first time, under the stars, at a drive-in movie theater: the Twin-Do drive-in in Metairie, Louisiana. While that specific theater is no longer in existence, the memory has lasted a lifetime and has spring-boarded my love for this mythology into countless moments and experiences. I fought the temptation to blurt out anything about Star Wars and totally derail the table-wide conversation (for a behind-the-scenes Star Wars nerd like me, this was next to impossible). At the end of the dinner, Gary walked over to me. He was a gentleman, and a member of that small and elite unit who helped make Star Wars what it was and what it is today. In my teenage years I was the proud owner of a portable CD player, and there was only one thing I wanted to listen to with it. Whether I was on a school bus in the dark morning hours or curled up under a blanket, I took my CD player and Star Wars along as my personal soundtrack. When I wanted to “watch” Star Wars, I loaded up the first disc, closed my eyes, and replayed the movie in my imagination. Through a message board for Star Wars literature fans, I made friends with some Czech fans, helping them with some translations, and got to meet a few of them in person when I visited Prague in 2004. And that was the start of my lifelong love of Star Wars. – Dustin Diehl One of my earliest memories is going to see a re-release of Return of the Jedi in Manhattan with them in 1985, taking all my action figures and lining them up on one seat, and then watching the movie perched from my dad’s lap. That first movie theater experience was the spark that lit my passion for the Star Wars universe. On Star Wars Day, there are countless ways to celebrate the Star Wars fan community and the the saga that unites us.

On this May the 4th, now known as Star Wars Day, we listen back to an original NPR review of the now beloved classic. In 1977, Tom Shales reviewed the new ...

It's Star Wars Day! Whether you're all about the nine-film Skywalker Saga or just adore Baby Yoda, here are six ways to celebrate May the 4th.

Lots of places discount their Star Wars merch on May 4, and StarWars.com has a roundup of all the coolest stuff, from Han and Leia "I love you/I know" wedding bands to Baby Yoda dashboard wavers. And next week, Obi-Wan and Anakin fans will want to check out the new novel "Star Wars: Brotherhood" set just after the "Attack of the Clones" prequel film. StarWarsKids.com is a one-stop resource for children to find out about all the characters and creatures fans love. The flagship "Star Wars" comic is currently filling in the time between "Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi" as Luke comes to grips with Darth Vader being his dad. “Star Wars: The Bad Batch” follows the elite and experimental clones of the Bad Batch spinning out of the prequel-era "Star Wars: The Clone Wars," which features Obi-Wan and Anakin before they turned into mortal enemies. If the newest "Star Wars" trilogy hasn't been exciting enough, the rash of recent comic books and novels – most of them pretty rad – have fleshed out stories not seen in the movies.

Anthony covers Star Wars related gaming updates to Fortnite, the rumored Jedi Fallen Order sequel, and future projects yet to be titled.

Many other exciting projects are on the way like the ones Amy Hennig’s Skydance New Media and Ubisoft recently announced (both untitled). In addition, there is a remake of Knights of the Old Republic which could make a 2022 release. If the Force is with us, maybe even a first glance at some gameplay or a very short teaser. Obi-Wan Kenobi drops on Disney+ on May 27th, and it’s time to feel the might of both the Dark and Light sides. In brilliant timing for marketing, Fortnite has brought back many skins (listed) for Star Wars Celebration (May 26-29). They’ve seen an increase in player base with the inclusion of the “no-build mode” of the popular battle royale shooter. The teaser clip highlights his famous blue saber and has a slight zoom-out effect showing the wielder having the high ground. Previously, Din Djarin was an in-game boss and would drop a rifle and jet pack for your loadout.

The first film, A New Hope, establishes that Luke Skywalker's journey began on Tatooine, where he meets “Ben” Kenobi, a harmless hermit dressed in ragged robes, ...

The series will feature Moses Ingram as Reva, a former Jedi, now of the Empire’s Inquisitors, who seems determined to track down Obi-Wan, and seems to share a personal history with him. Lastly, it is believed that Tatooine is such a backwater planet, floating in the middle of nowhere, that Vader’s forces wouldn’t even bother to look there. Even Boba Fett’s greatest ambition was to rule the “backwater” planet.

In recent years, as Star Wars has given rise to numerous sequels and prequels, Disney and its subsidiary Lucasfilm have used the fan-driven day to promote the ...

Now that many venues have opened and public gatherings are becoming more frequent, the franchise’s sci-fi balm isn’t as necessary, but still just as vital, and Disney is leveraging its property in myriad ways. Similarly, when season two of Disney+’s The Mandalorian debuted during the height of the pandemic in 2020, the dose of Star Wars fantasy gave many grateful fans a respite from the lockdowns and news of new variants. “Lucasfilm cannot take credit for Star Wars Day. That belongs to the fans,” the company states on its site detailing the rise of the faux holiday.

Star Wars: Obi-Wan #1 artist Ario Anindito reveals never-before-seen art, including concept sketches, page layouts, and more with his own insights.

His ‘lost years’ are always fascinating for many of us Star Wars fans, and I think his adventure in this book is one important piece of the puzzle that shaped him to become what he is.” And at the same time he’s also fragile, but he’s very determined to be brave and overcome his fragility. “In order to make her distinctive, I gave her long black hair and a pair of ‘devil horns,’ so that she looks evil, but in style. “In the second part is the ‘story from the journal,’ so I changed the style. She’s way more brave and mature than kid Obi, and that’s what I put in her expressions, and it set her apart from kid Obi. There is no doubt in her. How she’s sad, and holds onto the pendant dearly because it reminds her of those she longs for. “For the pendant, there was no specific description about it other than it’s made from rare and valuable Eadun silver. “I wanted to give a different treatment to those two parts, so I made the first part in pencil, not inked, and looking more rough. He collects stuff that he sees fit, and he brought all the stuff he needs for his adventure. To mark the Star Wars Day release of Obi-Wan #1, StarWars.com caught up with Anindito, who opened up his sketchbook and shared his early explorations and penciled pages for a look at the making of the issue, while providing commentary for his process. I imagine her as a combination of a female wolf and a serpent, lurking in the shadow and observing. The overall tone in the first pages is also very yellow and dusty, in contrast with the second part.”

Wednesday is Star Wars Day. A number of sports clubs and players paid homage to the classic sci-fi movie.

Ewan McGregor will reprise his role of the crazy old space wizard, with Hayden Christensen returning to fill the foreboding life-support suit of Emperor Palpatine's servant Darth Vader.
