How Many Episodes Are In Obi-Wan Kenobi (& When Is The Finale)?
How many episodes are in Obi-Wan Kenobi and when does the finale air on Disney+? It's been 17 years since Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen last played Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, respectively, on the big screen, in Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith — and now they're returning for a new adventure in the Star Wars galaxy, one that will see them come face to face for the first time since Anakin turned to the dark side.
