What is Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney+ about?

I believe if you polled 100 people at the beginning of the year, 80% would have said Obi-Wan Kenobi is their number one most anticipated show for 2022. We share all the details on what to expect from the series.

The Mandalorian was a massive hit for Disney+ with critics and audiences raving about it. The series has gone on to win 14 Primetime Emmys. Will they have the same success with one of the most beloved characters in Star Wars? We will soon find out.

Obi-Wan Kenobi will premiere its first two episodes on May 27, with the other four releasing on Fridays until June 22.

Here’s what the show is about.
