It’s an exciting time to be a Star Wars fan. Not only did this year’s Star Wars Celebration recently bring a wave of thrilling announcements, but last Friday also saw the long-awaited release of the first two episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi. The new series, which takes place 10 years after 2005’s Revenge of the Sith, follows Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan as he’s forced to embark on a journey that will bring him face-to-face with his biggest demons and regrets.
The first two episodes got that journey off to a bittersweet but action-packed start, and concluded with a moment of intergalactic connection between Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) that’s left Star Wars fans anxious to see what lies in store next. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming premiere of Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 3.
