- This week, more "Obi-Wan Kenobi" news than you can fit into a Tatooine hut,
we learn to chill with Chewbacca, and more.
[exciting music]
[Chewbacca moaning]
You know what, Chewbacca is actually a great help
when it comes to managing your emotions.
And the solution doesn't even involve ripping out the arms of your enemy.
Now, let's get centered on some "Star Wars" news.
[Chewbacca moaning]
May the 4th was the gift that kept on giving.
We got our first behind-the-scenes look at "The Book of Boba Fett"
with an exciting new episode of "Disney Gallery"
that arrived on Disney+.
The special includes interviews with creators
and never-before-seen footage from the making of the series.
But what we didn't expect was the arrival of...
a brand-new "Obi-Wan Kenobi" series trailer.
Yesterday, the Inquisitorius descended in the official trailer
reuniting the Grand Inquisitor, Fifth Brother, Reva, and others
in their pursuit of Obi-Wan.
In between all the action, like Kenobi throwing down with a Stormtrooper,
our favorite uncle Owen Lars delivered this Mustafar-level burn.
- Like you trained his father?
- And it ended with that telltale cyborg breath
that can mean only one thing: Darth Vader is back.
Plus this striking new poster art featuring Kenobi in shadow
and the unmistakable silhouette of Vader in the distance,
red lightsaber ignited and ready.
It all makes you think, why isn't today May 27th?
Why?
For another look at the trailer and other May the 4th announcements,
new stickers on the official "Star Wars" app,
deals, reveals, and cupcakes with beards,
pivot your binoculars on over to StarWars.com/ThisWeek.
Now, to calm down, we have
some new "Star Wars" mindfulness exercises from Headspace.
You can work on lowering stress, find your own Jedi-like focus,
and get the kind of solid sleep
that usually requires being curled up in a Wookiee's lap.
Recharge and reset with R2-D2,
breathe deep and find your focus with Yoda,
or check out soothing sleepcasts,
immersive 360 audio like X-wing Voyage,
Tatooine Sunset, or Islands of Ahch-To.
Ah, the sweet sound of squawking porgs off in the distance.
Check it out with a 30-day free trial in the Headspace app,
available from the App Store and Google Play.
Obi-Wan Wednesdays are starting soon.
While we know the "Obi-Wan Kenobi" limited series debuts on Friday, May 27th,
the rest of the episodes will air on Wednesdays,
so come along on this journey with us.
Starting on May 25th, which is a Wednesday,
and continuing every Wednesday through June 29th,
Obi-Wan Wednesdays will include
a brand-new crop of "Obi-Wan Kenobi" series-inspired goodies.
We're talking beards, beards, more beards,
plus other fun, including new products from Funko Pops!
to LEGO and everything in between.

You want more Obi-Wan now, you say?
You know I can't say no to you.
One of the brilliant artists behind Marvel's "Star Wars: The High Republic,"
Ario Anindito, recently cracked open his sketchbook
to reveal a behind-the-scenes look at his pencil illustrations
for Marvel's "Star Wars: Obi-Wan" issue #1.
Alongside rough layouts and finished inks and colors,
Anindito provides color commentary on how he approached the cover
and shifted styles mid-story to show the contrast
between Kenobi scrawling in his journal and Kenobi as a young Padawan.
For more on that, take a note on StarWars.com/ThisWeek now.
Last week, we asked you to share your Star Wars Day plans with us
