Obi-Wan Kenobi Premiere Gets Small Delay, First Two Episodes Available On Day One

Obi-Wan KenobiDisney+ was originally scheduled to debut on Wednesday, May 25th. However, the highly anticipated Star Wars series has been delayed. 

The delay in the show’s start is short, thankfully. It will now air on Friday, May 27. In a video announcing the update, the man himself, Ewan McGregor, dropped the bonus news that the series’ first two episodes will be available to watch on day one.

Obi-Wan Kenobi fills the gap between Revenge of the SithAnd A New Hope by following the Jedi Master’s exploits on Tatooine while keeping an eye on a young Luke Skywalker. He’ll confront all manner of threats from the Dark Side, including the live-action debut of Imperial Inquisitors and the big bad himself, Darth Vader, played by a returning Hayden Christensen. 

The rest of the cast includes Moses Ingram, Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, and O’Shea Jackson Jr., among other names. Disney bills Obi-Wan Kenobi as a “limited series,” suggesting it will only consist of a single season. The debut trailer can be viewed here.
