The Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi TV series is right around the corner and here’s everything you need to know to watch the latest Star Wars canon unfold in its streaming debut.

After years of waiting, Star Wars fans will see Ewan McGregor reprise his role as Obi-Wan after last seeing on the big screen in 2005. This time audiences will be treated to a limited series starring the Jedi Knight set only a few years before the original trilogy.

We’ve only had brief glimpses of who we’ll see and where we’ll be, but we already know major characters from Star Wars canon beyond the films will play a big role in the new show.

Take a look at everything you’ll need to know to catch Obi-Wan Kenobi when it releases soon.
