Luke Skywalker's Role In Obi-Wan Kenobi Teased By New Info
Among the slew of new images from the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi limited series released this week, one teases the appearance of a young Luke Skywalker on the Disney+ series. With its May 25 release date getting closer and closer, audiences have been anticipating promotional material offering a closer look at the anticipated show. Now, the wait is over.

Living in exile, Kenobi will struggle to survive as Jedi Hunters and Imperial Inquisitors search across the stars for remaining Jedi warriors, all while he keeps a watchful eye on the young future hero who will one day free the galaxy from the Empire's tyrannical reign.
