R.A. Salvatore — who prefers to be called Bob — has been an established fantasy writer for over three decades, known for his popular character Drizzt Do’Urden in the Forgotten Realms series among dozens of other titles. Salvatore also wrote two Star Wars novels, including the adaptation of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, which arrived along with the movie 20 years ago in the spring of 2002.

This will be a Star Wars Day long remembered.

The official trailer for Obi-Wan Kenobi has arrived in celebration of May the 4th, and it’s filled with new imagery and details from the upcoming limited series. Obi-Wan Kenobi, starting May 27 on Disney+, follows Ewan McGregor’s legendary Jedi Master 10 years after the events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. The Empire reigns and the few surviving Jedi are in hiding, with Kenobi living in secret on Tatooine and watching over Luke Skywalker from afar. As seen in the new trailer, the hunt is on for the Jedi — and Obi-Wan in particular. Here are five highlights.

The trailer opens with a warning from Obi-Wan, telling us all we

On Star Wars Day, there are countless ways to celebrate the Star Wars fan community and the the saga that unites us. This May the 4th, we asked some of our StarWars.com contributors to share their favorite Star Wars memories. Although each one is unique, it always comes back to one thing: our love for these timeless stories.

My favorite Star Wars memory is my dad taking me to see the re-released Star Wars trilogy at the small three-screen theater in my hometown back in 1997. It was my first step into the larger world of Star Wars and something that I continue to share with my dad. I can’t remember a time in my life before Star Wars and this was the catalyst: I got to see

Get ready to say “Hello there” — to a galaxy of Obi-Wan Kenobi products.

Lucasfilm announced today “Obi-Wan Wednesdays,” a new weekly program featuring reveals of toys, apparel, action figures, accessories, books, comics, and more inspired by Obi-Wan Kenobi, the highly-anticipated limited series coming to Disney+. Obi-Wan Wednesdays will kick off on May 25, two days ahead of the double-episode premiere of Obi-Wan Kenobi, and run through June 29, each week highlighting items revealed in the limited series. You can get a first look at the official key art for Obi-Wan Kenobi products below.

“Star Wars fans are gearing up for a fresh look at the roots of the iconic battle between the light side and dark side with Obi-Wan Kenobi, and these new products will give them a chance to

Without R2-D2’s beeps, the elegant hum of a lightsaber, and Grogu’s adorable coos, Star Wars wouldn’t be Star Wars — and it’s all thanks to Skywalker Sound. This Star Wars Day, Lucasfilm and Apple are celebrating that legacy and beyond.

Behind the Mac: Skywalker Sound, a new documentary short film from Apple (co-produced by Imagine Entertainment and Delirio Films), shines a light on the legendary studio that turned sound design into an art form, creating sounds for the Star Wars saga and near-countless other films for over 40 years. Behind the Mac: Skywalker Sound takes viewers inside Skywalker Sound at Skywalker Ranch in Nicasio, California, featuring sound designers, foley artists, and mixers as they discuss their techniques and reveal how many iconic film and TV sounds came to be. The documentary is available on Apple.com and you can also watch it below.

While Luke Skywalker initially bristled at the idea of joining Obi-Wan Kenobi on an adventure, artist Ario Anindito didn’t hesitate. The penciller of the first issue of Marvel’s new Star Wars: Obi-Wan miniseries, which kicks off today in celebration of May the 4th, Anindito replied with an instant yes when asked to join the project. “Obi-Wan is one of my favorite Jedi,” he tells StarWars.com, “so when [Marvel editor] Mark Paniccia offered me the chance to do this, I got on board very quickly!” 

The series finds Obi-Wan in his later years on Tatooine, as the legendary Jedi Master hides from the Empire and watches over Luke Skywalker from afar. In each issue, Obi-Wan chronicles earlier adventures in his journals, offering a look at the Star Wars icon throughout his life.

StarWars.com is shining a light on those who truly give the saga its power: the fans. In the StarWars.com Fan Spotlight, we’re honored to tell their stories.

Star Wars is about family. You’d be hard-pressed to find a better example of this in our own galaxy than the charming mother and daughter hosts of the podcast Geeky Bubble. Johnamarie Macías and her mother, Maria, are inspired by Star Wars animation, not just as a fascinating topic of discussion for their podcast, but also in their everyday lives.

Maria remembers seeing the original Star Wars in the movie theater with her family. “I was hooked from there,” she tells StarWars.com. “I could relate to Luke’s situation because we came from similar backgrounds, so for him to have powers and be
