(CNN) - Obi-Wan Kenobi will bring the Force to Disney+, which -- along with the first trailer for "The Mandalorian" -- capped the studio's presentation for its new streaming service at the D23 Expo. That includes "The Mandalorian," the first live-action "Star Wars" series, which will make its debut when the service launches. Kennedy noted that the service would have access to all the movies, including the upcoming "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker," putting "over 40 years of 'Star Wars' storytelling in one place." Another series is in the works starring Diego Luna as the character he played in "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story." That brings to eight the total number of shows that the comic-book powerhouse is producing for Disney+, including several previously announced titles featuring Avengers characters.

Obi-Wan Kenobi may not be the streamer's only hope, but having Ewan McGregor around is never a bad thing. "After secrets and fibs and not being able to talk about it, I am honored to bring out a beloved member of the Star Wars family," Kathleen Kennedy said. He returned to the role for a voice cameo in 2015's Star Wars: The Force Awakens. This will be Disney+'s third live-action Star Wars series, following The Mandalorian (streaming Nov. 12) and a prequel series centered on Rogue One's Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) and K-2SO (Alan Tudyk).
