11 details you should remember before watching 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' on Disney+

Obi-Wan Kenobi is a central character in both the original "Star Wars" trilogy and the prequel trilogy.

In the prequel trilogy, he is a member of the Jedi Order, a heroic organization in the "Star Wars" universe that adhered to the light side of the force. The force is a special energy that flows through all living things and can aid or corrupt people.

In the first prequel movie, "The Phantom Menace," Obi-Wan begins as a padawan, an apprentice, to Jedi master Qui-Gon Jinn. However, after the death of his master during the final battle on the planet Naboo, Obi-Wan became a Jedi Knight.

In the third prequel movie, "Revenge of the Sith," Obi-Wan was promoted t0 the rank of master, the highest rank in the Jedi Order. He was also part of the Jedi Council, the leaders of the Jedi Order.

The prequel trilogy also explains the origins of the most renowned "Star Wars" villain, Darth Vader. Before he became the Sith Lord — the antithesis of the Jedi, who use the dark side of the force — Vader was a Tatooine slave named Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen).

In "The Phantom Menace," Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan meet him when they are stranded on Tatooine and free him from his captor. After Qui-Gon dies, Obi-Wan takes on his master's mission to train Anakin because they both think he might be the mythical chosen one who can bring balance to the force.

Anakin is Obi-Wan's padawan in the second prequel movie, "Attack of the Clones," until Anakin gets the rank of Jedi Knight at the end of the movie.

Obi-Wan will be reflecting on the fall of his former padawan in "Obi-Wan Kenobi," which is set 10 years after the prequel trilogy.

Anakin is another central character in the "Star Wars" universe. He is the chosen one, a man prophesied to bring balance to the force after the rise of the dark side.

Despite his training, in the prequel trilogy, Anakin fails to resist the dark side due to his human attachments. The first attachment is his mother, who was also a slave in Tatooine. In "Attack of the Clones," Anakin goes back to Tatooine to try and save her but finds her dead. In anger, he kills the people who held her captive and their children.

Another attachment is Padme Amidala, a senator in the galactic union organization, the Republic. Anakin met Padme when he was a child in "The Phantom Menace," and the pair have a romance in the following film when they're both older. After they get married, Anakin is conflicted between the rules of the Jedi to have no attachments and the commitment he made to his wife.

Christensen, who played Anakin in the original series, is set to reprise his role in "Obi-Wan Kenobi" after his turn to the dark side.

In "Attack of the Clones," war is brewing as a former Jedi, Count Dooku, has created a separatist movement against the Republic, a group of planets that want to leave the union. During this time, a bounty hunter Jango Fett attempts to assassinate Padme twice.

Obi-Wan is sent to chase after the bounty hunter to discover what is going on. He follows the bounty hunter to a planet called Kamino, where soldier clones are being created under the orders of a deceased Jedi Master, Sifo Dyas, using the DNA of Jango.

It is later revealed in "The Clone Wars" animated series that the clones were actually created as a plot by the Sith. At the end of the movie, the Republic is goaded into a war by Count Dooku, who has joined the Sith, and they decide to put the clone army into action.

Kenobi may also be reflecting on his failure to uncover the clone army plot before it was put into action.

The following war, called the Clone Wars, between the Republic and the separatist movement was not shown in the live-action movies. However, many battles were shown in "The Clone Wars" movie and TV series.

The series also allowed fans to get to know Anakin and Obi-Wan better and their key relationships with each other and other characters.

One of those key relationships is the one Obi-Wan has with his nemesis, the Sith Lord, Darth Maul. Maul was introduced in "The Phantom Menace" as the apprentice of the major villain of all of the "Star Wars" movies, Darth Sidious.

In the movie, Maul hunts both Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan and succeeds in killing Qui-Gon before being cut in half by Obi-Wan. Maul is assumed dead until he reappears in "The Clone Wars," having survived being cut in half due to the power of the dark side.

When he regains his sanity, Maul goes after Obi-Wan and pulls off multiple plots to try and get revenge against the Jedi. At this point of the story, Maul is still around in the universe, which means Obi-Wan might be wary of the Sith Lord trying to find him.

Another key relationship in "The Clone Wars" is the one Obi-Wan has with Duchess Satine Kryze.

In the series, Obi-Wan helps her during her rule of Mandalore, known for the special Beskar armor shown in "The Mandalorian" series. It is clear that Obi-Wan has romantic feelings for her but he never crosses the line like Anakin to form a full relationship.

In season six, Maul takes over Mandalore to bait Obi-Wan into coming to the planet. He then kills Satine in front of Obi-Wan. His relationship with Satine may be referenced in the upcoming series.

The third most important character from "The Clone Wars" is Ahsoka, who has recently appeared in the "Star Wars" live-action series "The Mandalorian" and "The Book of Boba Fett," played by Rosario Dawson.

In the movie, Anakin was forced to take on Ahsoka (Ashley Eckstein) as his padawan and they worked together during most of the war. However, in season 6 of "The Clone Wars" series Ahsoka left the Jedi order after being framed and temporarily exiled for a crime she didn't commit.

Ahsoka had to go into hiding when the Empire rose to prominence, but in the animated series "Star Wars Rebels," it is revealed she is a key part in forming the rebellion against the dark side.

Rosario Dawson is planning to reprise her role in "Ahsoka" but could make an appearance in "Obi-Wan Kenobi" due to her relationship with the Jedi through Anakin.

"Revenge of the Sith" begins at the end of the Clone Wars when the Republic finally defeat the separatists.

However, the triumph is short-lived for the Jedi, because it is revealed that the Sith Lord Darth Sidious has been a leader in the Republic, going by the name Chancellor Palpatine, for a long time and secretly orchestrated everything to bring himself to power.

Sidious corrupts Anakin into joining the dark side using his attachment to Padme. The villain then executes "Order 66" using a secret chip inside all of the clone soldiers to turn them against the Jedi, killing many.

Anakin is knighted as Darth Vader by Sidious and leads an assault on the Jedi Temple to kill the remaining Jedi, including the children. Sidious renames the Republic as the Galactic Empire and takes the role of emperor. Obi-Wan is one of the few Jedi to survive the betrayal but remained separated from most of his former friends.

In the final act of "Revenge of the Sith," Obi-Wan tried to make Anakin see sense after following him to the Mustafar planet. However, Anakin accused Obi-Wan of turning his wife Padme against him. After Anakin hurts Padme, the two former friends fight.

Obi-Wan eventually defeats him and leaves Anakin to die in molten lava. However, Sidious finds his apprentice and puts him in the battle suit Darth Vader is seen wearing in the original "Star Wars" trilogy.

Meanwhile, Obi-Wan helps Padme escape her husband. At this time, she is heavily pregnant with Anakin's children and dies giving birth to twins Leia and Luke. Obi-Wan helps hide the twins but Darth Vader is left to believe that Padme and his children died.

The upcoming "Obi-Wan Kenobi" series is set 10 years after this event, with Obi-Wan alone trying to look over Luke on Anakin's birthplace, Tatooine.

In his attempt to hide Anakin's children, Obi-Wan separates them at the end of "Revenge of the Sith." He gives Leia to Senator Bail Organa and takes Luke to his Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru on Tatooine.

This is all a prelude to the original trilogy of movies. In the first of those movies, "A New Hope," Obi-Wan is still on Tatooine watching over Luke because he believes him to be the true chosen one rather than his father.

"Obi-Wan Kenobi" is set 10 years after "Revenge of the Sith," which means we get to see what the character did during his time on Tatooine, keeping a watchful eye on Luke and hiding from the Galactic Empire.

While Christensen is returning as Darth Vader in the series, he will not be the only villain Obi-Wan faces.

His main foes will be the Inquisitors, who were introduced in "Rebels." In the series, the Inquisitors served the Sith and could use the force. They were sent by Sidious and Vader to hunt the remaining Jedi who survived "Order 66." However, they disappeared before "A New Hope" because the Jedi were believed to be wiped out.

The three inquisitors shown so far in trailers for the new series are the Grand Inquisitor (Rupert Friend) and Fifth Brother (Sung Kang), who both appeared in "Rebels," and new character Third Sister Inquisitor Reva (Moses Ingram).

"Obi-Wan Kenobi" premieres on Disney+ on May 27.
