Star Wars is expanding its social media presence with the launch of the official Star Wars channel on the very popular short-form video service, TikTok. To welcome fans on their new platform, the channel posted Obi-Wan Kenobi delivering his now iconic line, “Hello there.”

The famous line was first heard in A New Hope when Kenobi made his first appearance, then in Revenge of the Sith when the character encountered the vile General Grievous. The line was uttered again in the latest Star Wars Disney+ series, Obi-Wan Kenobi, when Kenobi met young Luke Skywalker.

As of this article’s writing, the channel counts almost 180 thousand followers, and its first post already scored 1.7 million views over the span of one day. Fans are totally hyped by this belated but great initiative as nothing but love is being expressed in the comments section of their first video.

One can only wonder how the franchise will use this new platform. Will it only be only for memes, or perhaps they will tease new projects or release exclusive content? The only way to get an answer to these questions is to give them a follow!
