Your point about Obi Wan not using his lightsaber puts the scene where he chops off Ponda Baba's arm in ANH in a whole new context... Like the time is come and he's finally ready cut loose and announce his presence to the galaxy.

Also the Vader peek gave me goosebumps.

"Like you trained his father."

When I heard that, I immediately heard "you were my brother Anakin" echo in my mind, and my heart sank into my shoes. 😢

Seeing Ewan speak as Obi Wan was surreal, it’s really happening isn’t it

[Flagwaver]

The two martial arts movies that Obi-Wan is shown doing at 0:55 and 1:00 are Kote Gaeshi and Tanju Tori, respectively. They are both Aikido moves and he did them flawlessly.

I love the look of the 3rd Sis. I think she'll be great. Her saying Obi "can't escape him" gave me chills.

Ewan’s voice is the perfect blend of his own and Alec’s. Love it

3:49 You also see lightsaber trophies in the background, similar to the Lair of Grievous on Vassek.

honestly I'd love to see Cal Kestis, not sure if it would be possible in the timeline but not giving him anything in live action would be a huge missed opportunity. plus it would be interesting if the end leads directly into fallen order 2.

[MassEffectFan]

I love the fact that Disney is not giving us any clips of Obi-Wan drawing his lightsaber. Because they are saving that for the show when we all see it for the first time. I love it!

"Like you trained his father."

Wonder if Owen ever finds out about Anakin/Vader? That would be crazy if he somehow finds out at the same time that Obi-wan does

[alexandershaw]

In the shot of the inquisitors looking at the table, it looks like the shelves in the back are holding lightsabers and maybe even a temple guard mask!

[settheworldonfire]

I’m a crybaby, and I was definitely crying this morning when I saw the trailer. It still doesn’t feel real. I feel like I’ve wanted more Obi-Wan onscreen for so long that I really thought it might never happen, and here we are 23 days away.

[StuartLugsden]

I really hope they got Temuera Morrison to play the purge troopers. Imagine a conversation between Old Ben and an old clone.

[muhammadhabibieamiro]

I have to say the grand inquisitor with a cape look amazing

[PlanetLinuxChannel]

Definitely heard the mixed voice intonation when he was talking to Owen. At first I was like “why does his voice sound a little different?” but then I realized it was a slight hint of Alec Guinness’ intonation. The difference in their voices from Episode 3 to 4 has been the one thing that has bothered me and I absolutely love hearing the blend between the two. Ewan is spot on in this!

[MinecraftIndiana]

If he is talking to another Jedi, I would love if it is Ferus Olin. In Legends, Obi came out of hiding in a junior novel series to protect Ferus, and then Ferus became the equivalent of Kenobi for Leia. Having his own unique death to Vader in another junior novel series.

I'm always reluctant to click on "such and such explained" type videos. I was pleasantly surprised. It is structured well and your voice work is excellent.

Kenobi comes out May 27 which is also my last day as a Senior in high school. Oh what a extraordinary day that will be

[ivangambino]

I love this trailer cause it gives people different reasons to get hyped, just seeing obi wan, seeing purge troopers and inquisitors in live action and what im most hyped about, 4-LOM in live action

[myriadmediamusings]

Glad we got one more trailer that provides more of what's to come yet still not show everything. Currently in the middle of watching your new canon video but I'm pausing that at the moment to watch your new breakdown of the trailer!
