It’s finally here.

The new Star Wars limited series Obi-Wan Kenobi has finally made its debut on Disney+ as of Friday 27th May 2022.

The opening double bill catches up with the lead character, played by Ewan McGregor, following the events of Revenge of the Sith and the dark ending of the prequel trilogy.
