Today, to kick off Star Wars Day, Disney+ released a brand-new trailer for “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” offering a riveting look at the highly anticipated limited series. “Obi-Wan Kenobi” will premiere exclusively on Disney+ on Friday, May 27, with the first two episodes. Following the premiere, the series will stream weekly on Wednesdays, until the finale on Wednesday, June 22.
The story begins 10 years after the dramatic events of “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” where Obi-Wan Kenobi faced his greatest defeat—the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, who turned to the dark side as evil Sith Lord Darth Vader.
The series stars Ewan McGregor, reprising his role as the iconic Jedi Master, and also marks the return of Hayden Christensen in the role of Darth Vader. Joining the cast are Moses Ingram, Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Sung Kang, Simone Kessell and Benny Safdie.
“Obi-Wan Kenobi” is directed by Deborah Chow and executive-produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Michelle Rejwan, Deborah Chow, Ewan McGregor and Joby Harold.

Print the speeder template and cut out the pieces. Make all folds along the dashed lines. Note: The folds adjacent to the #4 and #11 panels should be made toward you.
Using glue or double-sided tape, attach all tabs to their corresponding pieces in numerical order, starting with the starboard side and bottom. Note: The #1 tabs should be secured to the panel between them. The design on the #4 panel will line up with the design at the back of the speeder.
On the roof and port side, secure the #8 tabs to the panel between them, then begin attaching the port side to the bottom with tabs #9 and #10. The design on the #11 panel will line up with the design at the back of the speeder (opposite the #4 panel). Continue to attach the two pieces by securing the tabs in numerical order.
Secure all hyperdrive tabs numbered 1-4 to their corresponding sides. Make sure all outer tabs along the hyperdrive are folded underneath the piece, and use those tabs to secure the hyperdrive to the speeder. The back of the hyperdrive should be placed so that it is flush with the back of the speeder.
Fold the solar array fin in half so the design is two-sided, then secure with glue or double-sided tape. Do not stick the tabs together. Butterfly the tabs outward, and use them to attach the fin to the tip of the hyperdrive and the roof of the speeder.
Fold the droid in half so the design is two-sided, then secure with glue or double-sided tape. Do not stick the tabs together. Butterfly the tabs outward, and use them to attach the droid to the roof of the speeder where indicated.
Print the template on regular paper or cardstock and cut out the pieces. Make all folds along the dashed lines.
Using glue or double-sided tape, secure the tabs on the dome top to the inner circle of the main dome. Close the dome with the #1 tab.
Secure all #2 tabs at the top of R2-D2’s body to their corresponding pieces.
Begin attaching the dome to the top of R2-D2’s body by securing the #3 tabs. Start with the tab closest to R2-D2’s dome projector, and attach it to the panel adjacent to the #4 tab at the top of R2-D2’s body. Continue attaching the dome by following the contour of the body.
Close the top of R2-D2’s body with the #4 tab. Continue to close the body with the #5 tab, followed by all #6 tabs. Cap the bottom of R2-D2 with the bottom piece by attaching it to the remaining tabs.
Secure tabs numbered 7-12 to their corresponding pieces on the inside of the right leg. Begin attaching the outside of the leg to the inside of the leg by securing tabs in numerical order, starting with the #13 tabs around the shoulder. Repeat this step with the left leg.
Close the center leg by securing tabs in numerical order, starting with the #20 tabs.
When the center leg is complete, attach it to the bottom of R2-D2. If done correctly, R2-D2 should lean slightly backwards when standing.
Secure the left and right legs by aligning the letter at the inside of each leg with the letters on R2-D2’s body. R2-D2 should now stand on his own.
If you want extra detail, you can add the three optical holographic projectors provided. These should be placed on each of three matching markers, one of which is at the top of the dome. To assemble (Fig. 1), fold the piece in half along the dashed line between the gray and black panels, then secure the two panels with glue or double-sided tape. Wrap the piece around the black circle, and secure with the end tab. Attach the tab on the circle to the inner wall of the projector. The black circle should be used to attach each projector to R2-D2 where indicated.
