Star Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi Release Date
Following the finale of The Book of Boba Fett today, Disney didn’t wait long to discuss the future of Star Wars on Disney Plus with some information about Obi-Wan Kenobi.
As revealed in the above tweet, the release date for Obi-Wan Kenobi will be on May 25, 2022. This comes after many rumors and supposed leaks that stated it was going to debut on May 4th for the popular May The 4th day that people celebrate the series on now.
Even though May 4th is a Wednesday and would have been a perfect fit, the official May 25 release date is also very fitting as well. In fact, May 25, 1977 was the day that the very first Star Wars film, A New Hope was released in theaters.
That means that Obi-Wan Kenobi will be starting on the 45th anniversary of where Star Wars first began, with Obi-Wan also playing a major role in that film. While we do not have official confirmation, it is expected that the series will run for six episodes, so you can count on seeing the following episodes week by week.
Obi-Wan Kenobi Cast and Details
Star Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi brings back Ewan McGregor in the title role of course, but he isn’t the only returning actor in the series. One of the big announcements in the past was that Hayden Christensen would also be a part of the show and would be reprising his role as Anakin/Darth Vader.
- Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi
- Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker
- Joel Edgerton as Owen Lars
- Bonnie Please as Beru Lars
- Kumail Nanjiani as TBA
- Rupert Friend as TBA
- Sung Kang as TBA
- O’Shea Jackson as TBA
Obi-Wan Kenobi takes place around a decade after Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, with Kenobi in hiding on Tatooine. While we thought he was just merely staying hidden for most of those years, it appears there is much more story to tell in the year leading up to when Luke Skywalker meets him in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.
