in which Obi-Wan’s mentee and closest friend, Anakin Skywalker goes bad and joins the dark side. The new trailer shows the exiled Jedi Master hiding out on the unforgiving desert planet of Tatooine, watching over a young Luke Skywalker.
But it doesn’t look like Obi-Wan will be able to stay hidden for long; he’s being pursued by a Force-sensitive Imperial Inquisitor played by Moses Ingram . “Jedi cannot help what they are,” narrates a Sith leader. “Their compassion leaves a trail. The Jedi Code is like an itch.

In addition to McGregor, Christensen, and Ingram, the cast includes Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, and Benny Safdie.
