It is clear from the preview that the six-part Star Wars series will tell the story of Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) on the run from Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen) and the Empire while he tries to keep an eye on a young Luke Skywalker.
There is a moment when Obi-Wan stresses to Owen Lars (Joel Edgerton) that Luke must be trained, to which Owen immediately pushes back, as he did in the first film, A New Hope.
There is also a Darth Vader tease at the end, showing the iconic villain suiting up to hunt for Obi-Wan. And it is made fairly clear they will fight one more time.
Obi-Wan Kenobi premieres on Disney+ on May 27.
Watch the new trailer below.
