One of the stars of the upcoming Disney+ series, Obi-Wan Kenobi, recently stated that fans will be blown away with the footage from the first trailer. The highly-anticipated series will finally see the return of Ewan McGregor as the legendary Jedi Master since his last appearance in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith back in 2005. Obi-Wan Kenobi will join the ranks of the Star Wars original programming on Disney+ alongside The Book of Boba Fett, The Mandalorian, Star Wars: The Bad Batch, and Star Wars: Visions. After the premiere of Obi-Wan: Kenobi, it is expected that the Rogue One prequel series, Andor, will premiere sometime later this year.

During a recent interview with SlashFilm, actor Rory Ross was hyping up the arrival of the show's first teaser trailer, claiming that it's going to "blow people's minds!" Rory Ross portrayed a Tusken Raider in The Book of Boba Fett, which is currently streaming on Disney+. It has been confirmed that he will also appear in Obi-Wan Kenobi as a Stormtrooper. During the interview, the actor initially opened about how the upcoming series will show fans what happened to the titular character after Revenge of the Sith.

"It's going to be awesome. It's going to be really, really cool. Having the connective tissue between the prequels and A New Hope, and just understanding where Obi has been and what's happening, story-wise, I think fans are going to enjoy that," Rory Ross told SlashFilm. He then teased the arrival of the show's trailer.

It's just going to be a really great time. I think a lot of fans are like, 'Where's the trailer? What's happening?' I think the big part of it is [Lucasfilm] is just trying to make sure that it's as polished as possible, so that when it comes out, it's not going to have that Game of Thrones moment, where there's a coffee cup in the corner that they missed or something like that. It's going to have a lot of love that's poured into it, and it's just going to hopefully blow people's minds and just really enjoy seeing what's been going on."
