Obi-Wan Kenobi – the new Star Wars spin-off starring Ewan McGregor as the original lightsaber-swinging Jedi – is now available to stream globally, online and on TV.

Season premiere: Friday 27th May 2022
Global stream: Disney Plus

Excited for Ewan McGregor historic return to Star Wars? The new show begins 10 years after the dramatic events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, where Obi-Wan faced his greatest defeat – the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, who turned to the dark side as evil Sith Lord Darth Vader.
Hayden Christensen reprises his role as Anakin Skywalker (Christensen's comeback comes amid rumours that he will appear in Ahsoka, yet another upcoming Star Wars spin-off). Other cast members include Joel Edgerton, reprising his role as Tatooine moisture farmer Owen Lars, and Bonnie Piesse as Beru Whitesun Lars, who raised Skywalker. Legendary composer John Williams has scored the music.

Today's best Disney Plus deals
How can I get Disney Plus?
Very easily. The Disney Plus app is available on a range of TVs, phones and streaming devices, including iPhones, iPads, the iPod Touch and Apple TV, Android phones, Android TVs, Fire TV devices, Roku TV devices, Chromecast devices, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and 5, Roku streaming players and Now TV's Smart Stick (take note here: Disney+ isn't available on any Now TV daily or weekly TV pass). Disney+ can also be found on Sky Q and Sky Glass.
Is Obi-Wan Kenobi on Netflix?
No, and that's unlikely to change.
For one thing, Disney owns Lucasfilm, the Star Wars production company. For another, Star Wars is a huge cash cow and one of (many) reasons to subscribe to Disney+.

Lots. Disney's streaming service provides instant access to a vast catalogue of content from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and National Geographic. There's plenty to watch in 4K, HDR10, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, too.
