“Obi-Wan Kenobi” is premiering on Disney+ a few hours earlier than planned, the “Star Wars” show announced Thursday night. West Coast viewers will be able to stream the first two episodes of the show, starring Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen, starting at 9 p.m. PT. Originally, they were set to become available at midnight.

We’ll soon say “Hello there!” to Obi-Wan Kenobi — a little later than expected, but with a surprise bonus. Ewan McGregor, star of the Disney+ limited series as the titular Jedi Master, announced today that Obi-Wan Kenobi will now premiere on Friday, May 27. Instead of just one episode, however, fans will be treated to the first two installments at launch, with subsequent episodes debuting each Wednesday.

Disney World’s much-hyped “Star Wars” Galactic Starcruiser hotel, which only has 100 rooms, is not even close to selling out, Disney’s availability calendar shows. Guests who check the “start planning your voyage” page will nearly have their pick of dates through the second half of 2022. Almost every day in August, September, October, November and December is available. There are still “voyages” in June and July, too, including a number of weekends. According to the page, availability information was last updated Saturday at 11:16 a.m. Eastern Standard Time.

What you’ll do, who you’ll meet, and where you’ll stay.

We've got the exclusive first look images of Disney+'s new 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Star Wars series, including a new foe, a new planet, and a few familiar faces.

The Book of Boba Fett wasn’t quite what Star Wars fans expected; the trigger-happy bounty hunter survives to become a crime lord who doesn’t want to commit any crimes (in fact, Boba actually cracks down on crime, by destroying the spice trade). The show didn’t quite live up to The Mandalorian; even the showrunners seemed aware of this, as Din Djarin, along with adorable animatoric Grogu, stole the spotlight towards the end.

From the pilot onward, season 1 of Book of Boba Fett had a major hero problem — a protagonist (Temuera Morrison) who’s largely opaque, and so detached from his own story that he’s readily and repeatedly upstaged by visitors from several other Star Wars series. It’s often unclear why Boba does anything he does, and the show doesn’t give viewers much reason to engage with his primary goal of becoming the crime boss in Mos Espa, a city on the little-loved planet of Tatooine.

“Obi-Wan Kenobi” has finally received a May premiere date at Disney Plus. And no, it’s not May the 4th.

The Book of Boba Fett’s second episode dragged the bounty hunter-turned crime lord further into the sands of Tatooine and the planet’s seedy underbelly. But while Boba Fett got his hands a little dirtier, die-hard Star Wars fans were treated to a few cameos from the series’ comics and even old deleted scenes.

Boba Fett has always been a bit of a peculiar character, mostly in the sense that he isn’t really one. First introduced on film in The Empire Strikes Back, the bounty hunter was taciturn and mysterious, inspired by Clint Eastwood’s famous Spaghetti Western character The Man with No Name. Boba Fett made a strong impression in the Star Wars sequel, though his popularity was as much (if not moreso) because his action figure had already been released two years prior: a character that was essentially a blank slate onscreen had already been defined in the minds of fans.

It’s been more than half a year since the finale of The Mandalorian season two. For some, it was a triumph of storytelling and effects. For others, well, it ended with a big deep fake that we’re not sure if we can spoil yet. So allow this to be your spoiler warning.

Nick Frost was once offered a role in Star Wars, but the “rubbish” pay led him to turn it down. The Shaun Of The Dead and Hot Fuzz star said that while he’s a fan of the movie franchise, he doesn’t regret his decision.

It looks as though The Mandalorian is cleaning house. Actor Gina Carano has reportedly been released from her role on The Mandalorian as former Rebel shock trooper Cara Dune following significant criticism regarding her social media posts. She has also parted ways with her agency UTA, according to a report from Deadline.

The new Star Wars game from the developers of The Division is only just getting started, so don't expect it soon. During an earnings call, CEO Yves Guillemot said the game is only in the "early stage" of development.

Digital artist scadarts (also known as mandal0re) uses Photoshop to put Star Wars characters into classic artworks. His latest series uses the classical Japanese style to portray Boba Fett, Ahsoka Tano, Darth Maul, and Leia Organa.

That’s according to multiple sources including credited Star Wars insider Bespin Bulletin, which states in a recent podcast that a new instalment in the fan-favourite RPG series is indeed in development at an unnamed game developer.

The Mandalorian is undoubtedly fun. But Baby Yoda and his guardian’s lack of respect for the natural world is disturbing. Star Wars has always used interesting wildlife to set the scene. Think the toad-like worrt outside of Jabba’s palace; it provides a peek into the life of creatures seemingly untouched by the antics of the Galactic Empire or the Skywalker family. Though some are not so lucky as to be left in peace.

Ubisoft is working on an open world Star Wars game with Lucasfilm Games. The Division developer, Ubisoft Massive will develop the new game.

The day Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012, the company wasted no time making clear what it was buying for $4.05 billion, announcing three new Star Wars movies were already in the works. In a shareholder call the day the deal was announced, then-CEO Robert Iger laid out the company’s ambitions: “Our long-term plan is to release a new Star Wars feature film every two to three years.”

The finale of Season 2 of The Mandalorian appears to confirm yet another new Star Wars spin-off show.
