Okay, as we post, we’re 20 days from the premiere of two episodes of Disney Plus’ Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the days drag on (Tatooine-like) as we anticipate the long-awaited series.

However, earlier this week, fans did get a bit of a respite with the debut of the Official Trailer from Lucasfilm.

Have a watch:

Thankfully, the official Star Wars website helped us out with a breakdown entitled, “5 Highlights from the Obi-Wan Kenobi Trailer.”

My favorite of the five, as penned by Dan Brooks, was:

2. Owen and Obi-Wan.

While Obi-Wan delivered a newborn Luke Skywalker to Owen Lars, the Tatooine moisture farmer — and stepbrother of Anakin Skywalker — seems to want nothing more to do with Kenobi. It’s a sentiment that draws a straight line to his concerns in Star Wars: A New Hope.

Finally, there remains one more moment that had me happy while watching. But it was a tweet about the moment that made me pause to smile:

Everyone involved with Obi-Wan Kenobi sounds so pleased to be part of the project. I can’t wait to sit down on the couch on May 27 and return to Tatooine.
