And while this second trailer for the new Disney Plus series doesn't have quite the impact, it's still has us more excited about this than any other incoming sci-fi, with the single exception of Season 3 of "For All Mankind." And, of course, those other upcoming Star Wars TV shows in the works.

Now that many venues have opened and public gatherings are becoming more frequent, the franchise’s sci-fi balm isn’t as necessary, but still just as vital, and Disney is leveraging its property in myriad ways. Similarly, when season two of Disney+’s The Mandalorian debuted during the height of the pandemic in 2020, the dose of Star Wars fantasy gave many grateful fans a respite from the lockdowns and news of new variants. “Lucasfilm cannot take credit for Star Wars Day. That belongs to the fans,” the company states on its site detailing the rise of the faux holiday.

Star War nerds will be happy to know that Disney+ just released its brand-new trailer for “Obi-Wan Kenobi” to kick off Star Wars Day (aka May the Fourth).

According to Tsai, this was the seventh Star Wars Day he has organized. Gathering in Taipei's Xinyi District while dressed up in the distinctive costumes of characters from the franchise, several dozen fans marked Star Wars Day, an informal commemorative day which originated from the pun "May the Fourth be with you," a play on the popular Star Wars catchphrase "May the Force be with you."

Disney+ has released a video promoting the collection of Star Wars projects on the streaming platform to celebrate May the Fourth.

The Star Wars library seems big as is, but Disney+ is set to turn the franchise into a much larger world. Coupled with the new films, Star Wars has come to have a dozen times the amount of content it once did. Diehard fans of Star Wars are well aware of the stories inhabiting the world, but the Disney+ promo puts into perspective how much the franchise has grown.

"Obi-Wan Kenobi" is back -- but, based on the new trailer for the Disney+ series, the droll Jedi master no longer has the high ground.

Who will end up voicing a comical droid? How will Ingram and Friend's villains stack up against Vader? And who will get to say, "I have a bad feeling about this?" Released on -- when else?
