It says its a teaser trailer concept. Not sure what that actually is (unless this is actually a fan created thing and not actually from Disney?).

Fan-made. From the channel's description:
▿ #KENOBI #StarWars #ObiWan ▿
On August 23, 2019, at the D23 Expo, Lucasfilm officially announced the as-yet untitled Obi-Wan Kenobi series for Disney+, with McGregor confirmed to return as Kenobi.

This trailer is a concept-mashup that shows my idea of how the teaser trailer for Obi-Wan KENOBI might look like.

OK. Way to get my hopes up. Though I know they have a Kenobi Disney+ series back on the table. Personally, I'd love to see them adapt the book Kenobi for the show. Do it proper as even a limited series. Though, pretty sure the Mandalorian fans might howl about copycat as it covers Obi-wan bringing the infant Luke to Tatooine. But then, he gets embroiled in a war between moisture farmers and the Sand People.

Just because it would be in one location used in The Mandalorian wouldn't make it a rival show. It would be three or so decades earlier for a start, would be tied to Tatooine, and would have a different trajectory. Most Mando fans like that the show feels and looks like Star Wars and would probably welcome another show that does the same. I know I would.

The copycat part was basically "lone wolf type protecting/transports infant. Adventures happen with things don't go to plan."

Oh, sure, there's that similarity, plus the protagonist's sect being essentially wiped out with this last quest as impetus for the show. Big deal. Star Wars seems to always be about the 'older generation' raising, protecting, and teaching the younger so they grow up to do the same.

well, that's the primary trope of all the fantasy novels Lucus read growing up. Also in the ancient myths and legends older mentor(s) bring on the hero through the major part of their journey. their penultimate trial is to go one without the mentor(s) and and do what needs to be done. Lucus used those ancient themes and tropes all through out Star Wars and that's probably why John Campbell mentioned him and Star Wars specifically in one of the books he did around the time of the original trilogy. Thing us, way too many of the current crop o fans never read any of that, so they don't know/understand.
I saw so much screaming of "rip off!" when Jackson began doing the LOTR movies because none of these kids realized that, were it not for Tolkien , we either wouldn't have the fantasy genre of elves, sword and sorcery and such or it would be so vastly different. I've read the four Middle Earth books. And, yes, almost every fantasy novel with magic, elves and what not that I read after had to stand up and be measured against that. None have equaled, but a few have been close enough to be keepers.
I even had The Simarillion (at least I think that was how the title is spelled) which was basically notes, bits and pieces of stories and ideas, a few short pieces that (as far as I know) never made it to publication, histories and character/race/species backstories) as well as quite a bit of the songs that he wrote for the books... in the languages. It was published posthumously by his son I believe. All I know is that paperback copy I had was a bloody doorstop (lol!) The only other author(s) that I know for sure puts in that much thought effort and detail to their worldbuilding are the late Anne McCaffrey (pretty much any of the worlds she built: Pern, Tower & Hive, Federated Sentient Planets, Acorna), Jean M. Auel with her Children of the Earth books and J.K. Rowling -- and not just her "Magic and Muggles" (aka Harry Potter universe). She dives deep in her fiction novel series as well.

Oh, I know this is a trope. It's a tried-and-true trope because it mimics real life. The older generation raises the young to become the next older generation. It's life.
I had the Silmarillion, too. Ugn. Boring piece of work. I got to the spheres singing (I think, something like that) and gave up. The appendices to LOTR were more interesting.

No, it was boring. You'd have to be so gung-ho immersed in LOTR, more than even the geekiest geek, to think it's anything but. IMO, of course.
