Will Obi-Wan Kenobi Arrive In May?

A possible leak says the new Star Wars show may debut this spring….

File Under: “Hello There?”

Yep, you read the headline right, Disney Plus’ Obi-Wan Kenobi show is now rumored to hit desert air in May 2022.

Amazing that the leak may have been an accident by a Disney+ employee.

Star Wars News Net’s Grant Davis explained:

[S]omeone tied to Disney Plus may have let slip that the show set at the midway point between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope will be arriving at a similar time frame. Brandon San Giovanni, the enterprise program manager at Disney Plus, tweeted out and then quickly removed [the message]:

Our own very own Obi-wan wi[ll] be saying “hello, there,” on Disney+… May 2022.

You’ll find the screenshot over on SWNN.

What GIves?

Previously, boilerplate about Obi-Wan Kenobi said:

The story begins 10 years after the dramatic events of “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” where Kenobi faced his greatest defeat, the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker turned evil Sith Lord Darth Vader… [D]irected by Deborah Chow, director of two critically acclaimed episodes of “The Mandalorian,” Season 1 [, T]he series also marks the return of Hayden Christensen in the role of Darth Vader. 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.

Not Much to See

Much speculation surrounds the show, with only bits and pieces about the plot included in the lone teaser.

And whether the show will debut in May relies on more than your own point of view.
