What Star Wars movies and shows should you watch before Obi-Wan Kenobi? It's a tough question, because the titular Jedi master makes a lot of appearances throughout the stories that make up the galaxy far, far away. 

We've put together a guide to all the movies and TV shows you should check out before the Disney Plus show arrives. While you don't need to watch every single film in the Star Wars saga to prepare, our choices below should be considered essential viewing. 

So, scroll on for everything to watch before Obi-Wan Kenobi – and don't worry, there are no spoilers in anything below. 

The best place to start before Obi-Wan Kenobi arrives is the Star Wars prequels. The Phantom Menaceis the first time Ewan McGregor's version of the character appears in the saga, and the film sees his fateful clash with Darth Maul, as well as his first meeting with one Anakin Skywalker. You'll also be introduced to Liam Neeson's Qui-Gon Jinn, who is Obi-Wan's teacher. 

Next up is Attack of the Clones,which follows Obi-Wan and Anakin in the days before the Clone Wars begin, and delves into Anakin's relationship with Padme while Obi-Wan investigates the creation of a clone army and goes up against Jango Fett.  

Finally, Revenge of the Sithis probably the most significant of all. It's in this film that Obi-Wan must battle his former Padawan after Anakin falls to the dark side, and you'll also see how the Empire seizes control of the galaxy – and how Obi-Wan ends up on Tatooine with Luke Skywalker, which is where we'll find the Jedi Master when the Disney Plus series begins 10 years after the events of the movie.
