In celebration of the new TikTok page, Star Wars posted its first video! Featuring Obi-Wan Kenobi uttering his iconic, “Hello There” line, it’s a warm welcome for fans!
The caption references a quote from the character, as spoken to Rey when she touches the hilt of a Skywalker lightsaber in The Force Awakens. It cleverly reads, “These are your first steps.”
Star Wars’ first TikTok also advertises that Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, and Obi-Wan Kenobi are currently streaming on Disney+.
The TikTok opens with Alec Guinness’ version of Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope. It then features a younger Ewan McGregor from Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.
Lastly, it shows McGregor in his recent portrayal of the character in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. Disney+’s official TikTok account responded to the video, saying, “Why Hello,” with a hand-waving emoji!
TikTok user Dominik comically points out, Star Wars TikTok era, they’ll find all the Pedro and Ewan thirst traps. Star Wars clapped back, “No one is safe.”
I don’t know about you, but as a major Star Wars fan, I am thrilled to see an official account on TikTok! Are you excited?!
