- This week, we say "Hello, there," to the "Obi-Wan Kenobi" teaser trailer,
meet some new characters on the Halcyon, and more.
[exciting music]
[sighs] I know this inspired by Padme Amidala's travel cloak,
which suggests when I got home from the Halcyon
I could have, you know, taken it off, but I didn't.
Because it's also good as…
A snack cloak.
A TV watching cloak.
A virtual meeting cloak.
I'm just saying, don't let the name fool you.
Sadly, it is not a telling you the news cloak--
It's too dramatically distracting--
so… let's get to the news.
You wanted an "Obi-Wan Kenobi" series teaser trailer?
You've got one!
Yesterday we got our first look at the limited series
arriving on Disney+ May 25th, and it's a thing of beauty.
In the teaser we found Obi-Wan down and out,
working a job that is far less glamorous than being a Jedi
just so he can keep an eye on little Luke Skywalker.
But then, the "Duel of the Fates" ushered in a looming threat,
the Grand Inquisitor in live action
with all the lightsaber-spinning goodness you would expect.
There's also a glimpse of Fifth Brother
and newcomer Moses Ingram as Reva.
Between the planet-hopping to the new locale of Daiyu
and the return of familiar faces like good, old Uncle Owen,
May 25th literally can't come fast enough.
Check out highlights on the teaser, rewatch it for yourself,
and keep your eyes peeled for intel on an "Entertainment Weekly"
exclusive cover story with all-new images
all tied up neatly in a space bow on StarWars.com.
We still have nearly a month to wait for "LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga,"
but today StarWars.com gave us an exclusive first look
at a new behind-the-scenes featurette featuring intel
on building the complex environments that populate the trio of film trilogies.
And it just wouldn't be LEGO without nods to the saga
infused with lighthearted physical comedy like this bit.
- Get out of here! [grunts]
[metallic rendition of "The Imperial March" clanging]
- You'll never hear "The Imperial March" the same again.
Check out the full featurette, Building a Galaxy,
over on StarWars.com now.
I can't tell you how excited we were when the Armorer showed
her helmeted face in "The Book of Boba Fett" earlier this year.
To celebrate the return of the spiritual leader who uses the tools of her trade
to make exquisite armor and bust some stormtrooper buckets when necessary,
we sat down with actor Emily Swallow to discuss reprising her role
and shouldering the task of enlightening Din Djarin
and viewers at home about the weighty history of the Darksaber.
Bust out your finest beskar and meditate on StarWars.com/ThisWeek
for the full interview.
And, if you don't already have your tickets to Star Wars Celebration Anaheim,
next Tuesday admission badges will go back on sale
for the general public, along with the first exclusive merch from the event.
Including this t-shirt featuring the key art from the convention,
and an array of apparel celebrating the 20th anniversary
of "Star Wars: Attack of the Clones."
Then set coordinates for Star Wars Celebration 2022
from May 26th through the 29th.
We can't wait to see you all there.
We may be back from our voyage on Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser,
but we'll always remember the friends we made along the way.
Not Lt. Croy.
He kept trying to enlist me every time I complimented his hat.
Tomorrow, we'll give you a closer look at the colorful characters
you'll encounter aboard the Halcyon including Captain Keevan,
Lenka Mok and everyone's droid pal SK-62O,
Sammie the mechanic who cares.
He's the best.
Songstress Gaya and her talented bandmate Ouanni.
Their manager and a delightful scoundrel in his own right Raithe Kole.
And D3-O9, the latest in a line of helpful droids
who will sing you a lullaby at the end of the night
or tuck you in with a bedtime tale.
And also there's Lt. Croy.
We may not be best friends, but he is our new favorite member
of the First Order.
Catch the next installment in the new miniseries "Dispatches from the Halcyon"
tomorrow on the Star Wars YouTube channel and StarWars.com.
