(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.

Ewan McGregor -- who played the Jedi Knight in three "Star Wars" movies -- appeared onstage with Lucasfilm chief Kathleen Kennedy to confirm that he will be reprising the role, saying the scripts were written and that production will take place next year.

Disney unveiled several projects as it shared additional details about the new venture, which is scheduled to launch Nov. 12, providing a formidable contender in the streaming wars.

That includes "The Mandalorian," the first live-action "Star Wars" series, which will make its debut when the service launches. Pedro Pascal will star as a bounty hunter, in the period after the fall of the Empire.

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."
