Joining the cast are Moses Ingram, Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Kumail Nanjiani , Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Sung Kang, Simone Kessell and Benny Safdie. “Obi-Wan Kenobi” is directed by Deborah Chow and executive-produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Michelle Rejwan, Deborah Chow, Ewan McGregor and Joby Harold.
The first to episodes of “Obi-Wan Kenobi” are now streaming on Disney+ . Following the premiere, the series will stream weekly on Wednesdays, until the finale on Wednesday, June 22.
