Lucasfilm launched Star Wars Day 2022 with a new Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer teasing the rematch between Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor) and Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen), merchandise sales on Amazon and GameStop, and a special sizzle reel previewing every Star Wars story that lives on only on Disney+.

In Disney+'s "Across the Galaxy" promo for May the 4th, the streamer touts the Star Wars titles streaming now, including the nine-episode Star Wars saga, from 1977's A New Hope through 2019's The Rise of Skywalker. Also available are the live-action series The Mandalorian and spinoff The Book of Boba Fett, featuring the adventures of the armored bounty hunter Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal), Grogu, and Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison), the lording Daimyo of Tatooine. 

Along with footage from the Star Wars movie saga, the spot features a snippet from Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi, the six-episode event series streaming on May 27. 

Disney+'s Star Wars hub is where subscribers can watch episodes of the animated series Star Wars Rebels and The Clone WarsStar Wars: Resistance, and the anime anthology Star Wars: Visions.
